After much anticipation, DC's Titans made its long-awaited debut on the DC Universe streaming service last week, officially introducing us to the four heroes that will make up the iconic team. Despite all the negative attention its trailer received, the pilot episode proved to be a solid opener and set up some intriguing storylines going forward.

With the troubled Rachel Roth (Raven) safe under the protection of Dick Grayson, this week's episode, appropriately titled 'Hawk and Dove', saw the Boy Wonder reach out to some old friends in an attempt to figure out a way to help the young girl. Those old friends were none other than - you guessed it - Hawk and Dove.

Much of the episode focused on the dynamic between Dick and his former allies, delving into the history between all three of them. Moreover, it also helped further the show's main narrative, as new threats emerged and tailed Raven and Robin all the way to Washington.

Though the sophomore episode continued to surprise us, there were unfortunately a number of issues that still prevent the series from living up to its full potential...
