Titans Season 2: 5 Ups & 2 Downs From 'Bruce Wayne'

2. The Performances

'Bruce Wayne' wore a lot of hats. On one hand, it was an ensemble piece that highlighted how lack of trust was beginning to tear the Titans apart all over again. On the other, it was a dual character study that looked at the story of how one Robin's actions were influencing another.

That latter thread was undoubtedly it's most intriguing, as it showcased just how damaged these two characters were and, more importantly, how they needed each other to help them heal. And while the strong storylining brought it all together nicely, it was the performances from those Boy Wonders that truly let this episode fly.

Brenton Thwaites turned in such a compelling offering that we, as viewers, couldn't help but buy into Dick's struggles, jumping every time he barked at ghost Bruce or sympathising with him when refused to open up. But his finest performance came towards the end of the episode when he almost broke down telling Bruce how hard it was to tell the truth. It was a subtle outing that said a lot with very little and felt like a totally believable reaction from a young man who was cracking under the burden of the past.

Curran Walters was equally impressive as Jason, conveying all the emotions that the character felt as he struggled to cope in the aftermath of recent events, questioning his place on the team and, furthermore, in the world.

Both Robins may have been losing themselves, but this provided both Thwaites and Walters with opportunities to shine - and that's exactly what they did.
