Forgotten Purity .x.Jericho.x. I hope and suspect they will leave the JLA out of it. If they do something with JLA I'm going to have to kill them.... stare What do you have against the JLA!? Nothing. Hell, I'd hate a tie-in too. But who better to sum up the reasons than Steel?
Steel ...but I am glad that Batman was not actually brought in for the purposes of the story. We all knew that the Titans were going to make it out of the episode relatively unscathed: It is *how* they manage to accomplish the feat that I was the most worried about when watching the episode. For the more perceptive viewer, the references to Batman brought on the possibility that Batman could potentially come and bail Robin out. While a properly pulled-off cameo could potentially be pretty cool, I'm glad that Batman wasn't brought on the show for a few reasons: Most importantly, the show is entitled "Teen Titans" and not "Teen Titans and their Godlike Bosses." Part of the appeal of the show is the child empowerment, and showing that the Teen Titans can't resolve their own problems without interference from meddling adults sends a contradictory message to what the show has been trying to say in the past. Secondly, an appearance by Batman would trivialize the Titans in the sense that suddenly we know that someone is around to help them out when they get in major scrapes. Wayne Enterprises is an international conglomerate, and knowing that Batman exists is far different than showing that he's around. Finally, while I feel that Teen Titans is not in "continuity"; with the rest of the DC Animated Universe, the appearance of a Batman would totally destroy the ambiguity that the show's producers are going for.

Exactly. I like the JLA, just not in the Titans' show.
