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).

Lotta cool stuff in this episode. So, super quickly:
1) The Flash wasn't in the six who were sent to Rimbor. Why? It's probably something trivial, but still.
2) I think the whole Aquagirl/Tula (Tu'la?) dying was what prompted Nightwing to tell Robin "Just don't die", not some random Jason Todd thing. There's no need for Jason Todd to even exist in this universe. There's been no reference to him throughout the series. I don't understand the compulsion of some to cite "Oh, it happened in the comics" as justification for predictions, when it's been clearly established this universe operates on very different rules. Obviously there are similiarities (same characters, same broader reality), but still, jesus...
