Titans
It has become increasingly unclear if theTitansare meant to be a publicly operating superhero squad or if they are a covert squad that is incredibly bad at hiding themselves from the public . This point is more confused than ever following the recent episode , " Faux - Hawk , " which seems to simultaneously evoke that the Titans are well - known to the cosmopolitan populace and decidedly hidden , depending on what the current subplot requires .
The Titans ' unfitness to maintain a down visibility has become something of a functional muzzle with fans of the show and a frequent point of criticism from the show ’s depreciator . Many have pointed out that Dick Grayson frequently madeno movement to hide his identitywhen going hole-and-corner , not bothering to employ a disguise or an assumed name . Donna Troy was likewise caviler when it came to using her lasso while in her civilian garb and the betting odds were 50/50 as to whether or not Hank Hall and Dawn Granger would bother to convert into costume before going off on a mission as Hawk and Dove . Perhaps the most egregious example of this was Jason Todd ’s shouting " Titans are back , bitches ! " into a live television tv camera in theseason 2 premiere . ( Todd was notably the only appendage of the team in costume at the time . )
Titans , time of year 2 , sequence 12 , " Faux - Hawk , " tries to have it both elbow room with two of its storylines . In the first , Rose Wilsonconfesses to Jason Todd that she was planted among the Titans as a mole by her father , Deathstroke . Rose went on to tell Jason , whom she had become romantically involved with , about how her father had lie to her about the Titans kill her half - brother , Jericho , describing them as " a bunch of psychopaths , highly trained . " Rose ’s story make up it clear that she had no musical theme who the Titans were before she start out condition with her father and believed them to be a real pack of killers .
This stands in grade contrast to Hank Hall ’s plot line in " Faux - Hawk . " The instalment shows that Hawk has commence fighting in hole-and-corner cage fights in full costume , being precede to the gang as " the unquestioned loss leader of the Titans . " fall back into his old habits of drinking heavy and abusing illegal narcotics , a boozy Hank sells his costume to a teenager for $ 200 and a tip on where to purchase some cocaine .
When Hank sober up later and realizes what he ’s done ( after realize a word account regarding someone in his costume having robbed a laundromat ) he goes off in search of the " faux - war hawk . " He runs into a Titans fanboy at the launderette , who imprecate that the robber was wearing the real Hawk costume and that he mean it was a genuine shame that Hawk was " fighting in his suit for blow " and it was " no wonder Dove forget him . " This suggests thattheTitanswere notable enough as a superhero teamfor Hawk to be singled out as someone ’s best-loved Titan and for Hawk and Dove to be remembered five years after the team broke up .
