#tim knows Shiva’s gonna maim them for it.

YOU UNDERSTAND. YOU GET IT.

Having brain thoughts… “villain” AU (Maybe he stays with Lady Shiva or some shit) Tim and Danny don’t meet until way later, at this point, King Cobra and King Snake are appointed co-leaders of the Kobras, Danny’s now stuck training under them. Sir Edmund does some dumb shit that gets him on Shiva’s shit list, she’s like, “Pack your stuff, bird. We’re taking a trip to the Himalayas.” So she can beat his ass in person. One thing leads to another, birdy meets Cobra Prince. Hijinks ensue.

meeting while you both can’t leave this secluded hidden lair, nowhere to go with no one to talk to but each other

(cobra cultists aren’t really good conversationalists when they think you’re someone really important who’s been reincarnated or the protégé of the woman currently kicking their bosses ass)

Danny never wanted to be a future cult leader, Tim didn’t want to spent his whole life a vigilante and absolutely didn’t set out to be a possible future assassin and well if they play their cards right they might be able to slightly change the plans for the future and possibly surprise and confuse a few people on the way

The Robins fighting style (part 2)

Remember, this is my analysis based on what I see in Titans episode 6. Not from the comics. Even though I found similarities that I would discuss later.

So, first and foremost. Jason.

Damn, he’s quick. I can’t really tell which style he used, but it’s a mix for sure. He continued to display effectiveness, make no time wasted. All of his fight scenes put him againts ordinary people. Well, not so ordinary, since he’s going for the cops and that sorta swat assassin in the last episode, but again his opponent is not as skilled as the Nuclear Family which Dick fought to a standstill in that awesome motel room fight. That was before Nuclear Dad resorts to his advantage in power and push Dick out of the window. I’d say, Jason got so much potential, but so far his fight scenes vs Dick’s fight scene in the motel room? Dick wins hands down.

Remember, this is my analysis. You could think differently.

Jason’s fighting style is brutal. Not even Dick in that warehouse scene in ep. 2 can top that. He’s maiming with the intention to hurt. He picked the most convenient attack to end everything quickly but also the one that would hurt the opponent badly. If he goes against Dick in the fight, with his current capabilities, he’s still going to lose because he’s still not as experienced as Dick. And also once you got into the territory of hand to hand combat which is Dick’s specialty , it could go bad for Jason. But he’s a wild card, even though he’s still not on Dick’s level yet. If he comes back a few years later and still has this ferocious appetite for hurting people plus the stabile mentality, Dick would got some serious threat. Red Hood, everyone?

And Dick, he’s got no cool fight scenes in this episodes except the last one with Nic Zucco which not really showcasing his abilities. Nic seems powerful enough, because he can stand after getting kicked by that awesome kick by Jason on his chest. I say his chest, not his neck or the tip of the chin, because if you got kicked in that area, you’ll get knock out, immediately. I don’t know if Jason intentionally missed the kick to that area or that he’s just being cocky that he can take him down easily. But, boy Dick’s so worried about Jason getting shot that he goes full on rage. It’s not quite seem that way, but that what’s happen in my eyes. Dick still displaying continuous streak of effective attacks constantly in all episodes so far.

And, I am kinda disappointed that we might not get awesome fight scenes next week, because then l have nothing to analyse 😭 But I hope we’ll still get it.

Anyway, cool episode. And the fact that Jason keep using his knee as his signature moves makes me happy. Well, he’s famous for his thighs, right? So that’s how he gets that. 🤔😁 That’s another one from the comics that I notice. I don’t know if the creator intentionally put little easter egg like that, but if they do, wow 😮 I am impressed.

So, knee attack. Muay Thai? 🤔 impressive streak Batfam. Silat, muai thai, escrima, they all tied together by history of the great Srivijayan Empire. South East Asian martial arts is really the most effective style in my opinion, so it’s no wonder the Batfam use it. Wing Chun is also superior in hand to hand, but I really think it’s more softer than South East Asian martial arts. The one generating the hardest hit, in technicality will be Baji quan. For that, I hope, if we got Cassandra Cain later, it will be her style. And i can see Tim using both style as he was trained by shiva too. And if we see Damian, I want to see him using Arabian wrestling and expertise in talwal. So even though he’s using Katana, his swords stances will be different. Oh it’s gonna be so awesome if DC could really pull it out. And, Bruce. Uuh the man himself. It’s hard to picture a perfect fighting style for him. Because he’s Batman, he’s awesome like that. But i’d say his basic fighting style will be from Japan. Because it’s canon and also fits his personality (discipline mentality). But later in his life he was trained by various people and he absorbs multiple style along his journey. In my head, as a martial artist enthusiast, no matter how many style you learned, you will only use several of them, and the one you used is definitely your favourite. This related to: a) physicality, b) mental state, c) personality. That way, martial art does not make you great, if you’re awesome it’s because you’re awesome. No other reason. No martial art is greater and better than the other. It’s about you, and always about you. Your chosen moves will show your true colours. Like a mirror.

It’s weird tho, I have head canon for years in my head about their respective fighting style and to see them actually happen on screen is mind blowing. It’s like someone read my analysis somewhere in the internet and use it. It’s surreal when your dream comes true like this.

In the pages of comic books it’s impossible to draw fight scenes with the same fluidity as live action. The artist can only draw impact not movements. This has always been my problem with American comic. Especially the eara of 2006-2010 where everything looks like photo tracing. But, even among japanese manga world, which, in my eyes, is better with action scenes in comic, only a few mangaka can draw good action scenes, and some, not all, is aided with the use of stylised panelling, which helps tremendously to illustrate movements. American comics are pretty dull in panelling sometimes, but it has improved over the years. When they start hiring someone from asia, that is 😁 And only selected artist can draw fighting style plus it’s signature moves on paper. They must have been a martial artist themselves, or having a deep understanding of martial arts. As you know, it’s almost impossible to found such perfection in an artist, so if they’re exist, they are truly gems.

Oof I go off topic again. But here are my analysis, thoughts and opinion.

So, Titans. I hope you keep being awesome. See you next week.
