[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 2451883, member: 151"] Amazing episode. I let out a cheer when the Phantasm showed up. Wonderful stuff. Yes, this episode required a lot of knowledge to enjoy, but I enjoy it I did. Wow. What a great wrap-up. I think it's safe to say that B:TAS (and the movies and subshows like Gotham Knights), S:TAS, Static Shock and Batman Beyond are all part of the same continuity. The last two seasons of JLU have made it pretty clear that the writers consider them to be part of the same continuity. TT's writers have already gone on record as saying they don't know if they'll try to tie the show to the DCAU, though they've considered it off and on. With Robin, I think it's more an issue of them not concerning themselves with DCAU canon, and have been moderately inconsistent about it...as they didn't want to saddle the show with that material (for good or ill). Note how none, I mean NONE of the TT ever use anything but their superhero names. Ironic, then, that they don't use Slade's supervillian name, but that's another story. All of the evidence about TT's Robin being Dick Grayson is pretty circumstantial: the 'Larry' episode, besides being high-farce, only had background in-joke references to Dick Grayson. The Nightwing persona was 20 years in the future, at least, and was an alternate future (and one where he'd taken over Slade's HQ!). Mostly, I'd list it as the TT animators having fun with injokes...note how TT's Aqualad never mentions TT's Aquaman, for example. Most of the TT characters are amalagamations of various incarnations of their character. Robin is clearly a mix of Dick Grayson and Tim Drake....TT Robin uses the quarterstaff every chance he gets, and very effectively. Aqualad's third appearance clearly gave him the powers he gains as Tempest, which he retains when he joins Titans East. For next season, you know what I think would be cool? One word: KOBRA. [/QUOTE]
