Titans Season 2: 7 Ups & 2 Downs From ‘Deathstroke’
4. That Showdown With Deathstroke
As a helpless Dick Grayson locked eyes with Jason Todd - each one unable to do anything about the fact that the latter was about to plummet to his death - all we could do is watch and wait for the inevitable. Only it didn't come, as Kory unleashed a fireball to a stunned Deathstroke. Starfire had arrived.
The ensuing fight, as Dick and Kory battled the swordsman, was really quite something.
From the way in which Slade was able to hold his own against the pair, to the thrill it gave us knowing that he had never battled an alien queen before, the fight was both expertly choreographed and cleverly storylined. It gave Starfire a chance to show us that her fighting skills were still up to scratch while it forced Dick to return to his hand-to-hand Robin traits in order to fight for survival.
An edge-of-seat sequence from beginning to end, this may just be the best fight scene the show has produced yet.
Speaking of Deathstroke...
