1) After a couple issues showing the Titans' copter fly out of a billboard announcing the Batman TV show (which makes me wonder how the heroes' secret identities are handled on DCTV), Bob Haney finally seems to have watched an episode as he gives Robin a "Holy $#!T, Batman!" moment (sans Batman).


So basically, Robin gets invited to a motorbike race in an oil ghost town which gets crashed by some bikers, including Scorcher, the guy on the cover. He's pretty dangerous with a hog and makes all the nice teens crash, drops Wonder Girl down a mineshaft, makes an avalanche fall on Robin, and straps Aqualad on the hood of a car in the scorching heat. (It was a bit irresponsible of the Titans to bring Garth to the desert, if you ask me.) As for Kid-Flash, they use "Mirage Mesa" to take him out.

Anyway, the Titans escape their predicaments and defeat the bikers. We also learn a couple of things about Wonder Girl: Her bracelets can glow in the dark, and she was in the Paradise Island girl scouts where she learned to draw water from a cactus. I'm not kidding. Hey, Bob Haney basically invented the character, he can do what he wants with her, right? Best moment though:

Scorcher gets caught in a fire and starts pleading like a little girl ("Sombody... save innocent little me!") - oh the irony - and the best teen racer learns a valuable lesson about respecting his grandfather in a subplot I won't bore you with - cue violins. Hey, only 5 more TT stories to go before I switch Showcases!
