...

If Jason Todd was the second Robin, then does that mean the Teen Titans/Batman TAS Robin is going to die?
Which Robin was Tim Drake?

...Ok... So I just looked it up, and Tim Drake was indeed the third Robin.. So is Jason Todd just not going to die in the TV continuity? Who knows?

Is that collected in a TPB?

Jason Todd is the Robin on TV? You sure?

Anyway, Teen Titans of the comics had Dick Grayson as their leader. Which Robin is this one? I doubt Jason Todd, probably Tim Drake, right?

I don't think they've ever said, but I'm pretty sure its Tim.

It's not an episode that I've seen, actually, but there is an episode of a Medical Profile on Robin that identifies him as Jason Todd. (I got this info from TV Tome, so it's probably right)

But from what I've read, the Robin in TT acts nothing like Todd.

I wouldn't know, having never read the comics, but you know how things are allways over simplified for cartoons.

Well... at least in America.

Sometimes I wish adults liking animation* wasn't so taboo here.

*Yeah, I know there's Family Guy and Simpsons, and othe shows like it, but those are more parodies than actual stories. They're not meant to be taken seriously.

Adults liking animation? Can you compare that to incest? No.

Incest isn't "taboo" .... It's wrong, and can be dangerous... *hits head to remove mental images*

I just meant.. well think about it. If you're over 16 and tell somebody that you like Dragonball Z, then they think you're a moron. Some of that is due to the dub, which seems to be coated in a layer of stupid, but it is also due to the perception that all animation that isn't raunchy humor is for kids. Heck, even my brother thinks I"m strange for watching cartoon network over MTV.

I'm seventeen, watch cartoons, and occasionally boot up my brother's old Pokemon Silver cart...

Does that make me as sad as your brother?

Cartoons aren't bad we all do it but to go to gamstop and face the embarasement of buying a pokemon game.

I think I'll pass, I'm already embarassed enough to walk into Wal-Mart and get SW action figures

It doesn't have to be Wal-Mart, any major "x"-mart store will do for my example.

We have barely any Wal-Marts around here but we have a Meijers and across the street a K-Mart.

I'll give you this: Pretty much anything Pokemon that isn't a videogame RPG isn't worth the embarrassment.

But I've never actually bought a Pokemon game, I just leech them off my brother.

Last off topic post in this thread: The first and last Pokemon game I played was Pokemon Yellow, what, 6-7 years ago. I just couldn't get into any of the other ones.

DC Comcis suck because Marvel is better.

Or so say the Marvel fanboys.
