The version of the character on the show so far is very different, but a lot more interesting in many ways. Sebastian, fated to become Brother Blood, has been an important character for this season. We see the transformation continuing in this episode, named for the man himself, “Brother Blood.”
The final season of Titans continues their version of the Brother Blood saga. Things are definitely different than the classic story from Wolfman and Perez, but there are some interesting twists and turns along the way.
Young Justice has been a great show with a very interesting take on the DC Universe. They are great at making some changes but managing to respect the original characters and concepts.
I think at least some of what we’re seeing is what Rachel wished had happened to her when her strange heritage began manifesting. The supernatural turn continues with “Super Super-Mart.” Which I guess is this world’s version of Walmart, more or less.
This episode also is the live action debut of the titular villain Jinx, a member of Titans’ enemies, the Fearsome Five.
One of the Titans’ biggest foes in the New Teen Titans run was Brother Blood, a powerful cult leader. One of Blood’s inner circle gives us the title for this episode as the team clashes with “Mother Mayhem.”
Apparently, the Titans aren’t in a hurry to drive cross-country from Gotham to San Francisco, since the season opens with them in a bowling alley.
Pulling strings behind the scenes is Lex Luthor and his collection of bad guys on one side, and Batman and a secret team on the other. Both sides are clashing with the Outsiders caught in the middle. I can’t imagine things are going to go well when the young heroes learn about the machinations surrounding their attempts to do good work.
The third season of Titans has reached its end. They have already announced a fourth, and a few casting announcements for it (Brother Blood, Jinx, maybe Lex Luthor). But before we get there, the team needs to come back together, find a way to beat Jonathan Crane, and save the city from more mayhem.
After a longer break than I intended to take, I got some time to return to highly enjoyable and really well done Young Justice cartoon. This season’s subtitle has been “Outsiders” and, while it’s not exactly a recreation of the team Batman founded in the comics in the 80’s, it’s been cleverly done and shows the increasingly complex world these stories are happening in.
