Titans Season 1 Finale: 7 Major Questions We’re Left With After 'Dick Grayson'

5. Can Dick Overcome His Internal Darkness?

Oh Dick Grayson. You tried, you really did.

Throughout the whole season, Dick has struggled to control his internal demons and, as a result, lost control while out in the field - allowing Robin to become a bloodthirsty, murderous shell of the hero that he once was. So it was only fitting of the finale to highlight that, placing Dick inside a dream where he was forced to return to the place that turned him into the monster he had become.

Although Trigon's mind game gave Dick plenty of opportunities to choose the light, it also pushed him too far - with Kory's death at the hands of Batman forcing him to kill his former mentor. In doing so, he sealed his own fate, finally succumbing to the darkness that has been simmering below the surface - a darkness that Trigon capitalised on.

Dick's inability to overcome the darkness allowed him to play right into the demonic villain's hands and now, he is officially part of the world's darkest family. Thus, we're left wondering how he can find his way back to the light and, perhaps more importantly, if it's even possible at this stage. Though he has been able to suppress the monster within on occasion, he may have fallen too far from hope this time - leaving him with a very dark future.

There is, however, one other fate that could await him in Season 2. One that we've been waiting for for quite some time...
