Titans Season 2: 4 Ups & 2 Downs From ‘Conner’

2. A New Side To Jason?

PBSThere isn't an awful lot to delve into here simply because we only got 90 seconds of Conner-meets-Titans in the episode, but it was hard not to notice how Jason acted around him.

Of course, his initial "Who the f*ck are you?" reaction post-save was typical Jason, but after that, he told the Boy of Steel that he didn't know how to thank him (yes, Jason Todd actually said that!) and then, believe it or not, he smiled - and it wasn't his typically arrogant smirk, but a genuinely warm smile. That smile was reciprocated by Conner... you know, until their moment was cut short by those gunshots.

From that smile to his concern over Conner, those brief 90 seconds allowed us to see a different side to Jason and it's left some fans speculating that we could see the beginning of a bromance between the two (or perhaps even something more).

This would be an ironic twist because in the comics Conner has a really strong bromance with the third Robin, Tim Drake, while his relationship with Jason is, well, less favorable. That said, it would be nice to see somebody bring some kind of compassion out of the Titans version of the character, and maybe Conner will be the one to do it.
