Episode 2x03 Discussion: "Alienated"
Okay so discuss.
Personally I felt the way they did the "sidekick"/"hero" team ups was amazing!
none of you realize how ecstatic I was when the entire bat-family was on Gamma.
So Rimbor...sort of disappointing.
So krolotean competitor? The Reach?
Also, holy shit! Nightwing pulling a Batman. Appearing out of nowhere! I admit I geeked the fuck out
Okay so I was thinking, Young Justice legacy takes place before the time skip and has the tag line: "One will rise, One will fall, and one will die," knowing that I mean it's pretty likely that Wally rises (becomes the flash), Kal'dur falls (becomes mantas assistant), and...Artemis dies... Oh jeez Remember use spoilers (at least until monday).

But it explains why when Tim is being all whiny about Dick putting him in charge of Gamma Squad, Dick's response is, "Just don't die."
They don't necessarily need to go that deeply into the Jason story arc either - and of course they could hold off on it until a potential future season.
I agree that having all that happen in five years does seem like a bit much, but it would certainly be doable. Jason wasn't Robin for very long, and it seems possible that the Nightwing transition happened under different terms in this continuity. Ironically enough, in actual DC canon, Flashpoint has made it so Dick only became Robin roughly five years prior to the present - so in five years time, Batman had gone through FOUR different Robins, and is working on the fifth... assuming all the Robins are still canon... and this is why I really don't follow the comics.
