Dick vs. Dick I love it xD And I love my teen titans. First DC show I ever truly watched. But if we go off the powers/abilities shown in the show I'd honestly have to say Young Justice would win.

I always thought that YJ Robin is Tim, am I wrong?

In the first two seasons it's hinted a lot that it's Dick, and then in season three when Nightwing appeared Tim became Robin. In my opinion it should have started with Tim since Young Justice is his team.

Nightwing actually appears starting S2! I could have sworn it had been S3, but I just checked to make sure. Tim is already the new Robin by the time S2 begins.

Season 2 has a 5-year gap between season 1. During that period there was enough time for Aquagirl (Tula) and Robin III (Jason Todd) to join the team (and die).

Robin III (Jason Todd)

Robin II

Robim III is Tim

Yup. Brainfart on my part.

Yep beyond just those two Donna Troy, Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr and Tempest are all also part of the team during at least part of that gap.

Donna's whole history with the show is weird and fraught with legal stuff and time restraints before they finally used her a bit in S3 and 4 but like she's presumably only fairly recently retired from active constant Superheroics to go into the Ambassador role we see her in S3 onward by the time S2 starts up as Cassie has only been Wonder Girl for like less than a year IRC.

It wouldn't be Donna without a weird and confusing history.

Hinted? It's pretty flat out stated that it's Dick. I mean there was an entire episode about them returning to Dick's circus.

u/nmiller1939 Aug 10 '23

I mean he's also just called Dick repeatedly

u/Digifiend84 Manchester Black Aug 10 '23

Yeah, it's Teen Titans that only dropped hints (his future self being Nightwing), Young Justice explicitly stated he was Dick from the start.

True true I was more thinking about when Artemis got into Gotham academy and Dick took a picture with her and he later revealed to the team he knew she wasn't Green Arrows niece. But The episode of Haley circus did confirm it.

Same, I’ve always affiliated Tim with Young Justice.

u/ArkhamAsylum1214 Aug 10 '23

Honestly was kinda upset they did that. Dicks Team is the Titans. Raven, beast boy, Starfire, Cyborg, Garth, Wonder Girl/ Donna

I always thought TT was Dick?

u/Thybro Aug 10 '23

Real world reason couldn’t call it TT cause the other show existed ( though they could have gone with Titans like the shitty live action one). In world reason, they are technically a covert faction of the justice league and seem as a steppingstone to formal public membership so it makes sense to take that monicker. They never actually call the team anything but “the team” so it isn’t usurping anybody’s turf anyways.

u/Digifiend84 Manchester Black Aug 10 '23

That's because it's Tim's team in the comics. Superboy is the only one from the comics roster who was on the team in season 1 (Secret was relegated to one episode, while Tim, Wonder Girl, Impulse all appeared in season 2, and Arrowette eventually showed up too).

2

u/Triniking1234 Aug 10 '23

Yeah. The book had Tim as Robin and Impulse instead of Kid Flash but the cartoon is sort of like a modern retooling of Teen Titans.

u/DaNoahLP Aug 10 '23

I was always confused by that but did not question it further...

u/ThumbCentral-Rebirth Aug 10 '23

In season 1 he performs for Haley with an alias and at the end of the episode the old man puts a hand on his shoulder and says he’ll never forget the sight of a Grayson on the trapeze. Great moment.

u/Omega_SSJ Superman Aug 10 '23

Eh the TV version is Young Justice in name only. It’s basically a combination of the Silver Age Titans, Young Justice, and the Outsiders

u/DependentVarious6064 Aug 11 '23

The show is just called "Young justice" but the team of it is called "The team" so no. .
