TITANTALK 062: "Lazarus" Is Up!

 
"Let me see the eyes...Well done, my boy. Take that chemistry set, get yourself an RV, and you can have your very own television show."
-- Dr. Jonathan Crane to Jason Todd, Titans: "Lazarus"

Hello again, Titans fans!  My co-host DJ Nik and I are back with a brand-new episode of TitanTalk: The Titans Podcast! This time, we discuss "Lazarus", the fifth episode from Titans Season 3, featuring Curran Walters as the Red Hood, Vincent Kartheiser as Dr. Jonathan Crane, Iain Glen as Bruce Wayne, and the introduction of Krista Bridges as Dr. Leslie Thompkins!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I discuss things like Nik becoming the Godfather to my new kittens, finally getting the backstory of how Jason Todd hooked up with the Scarecrow, still wondering what's going on with Raven, why "Lazarus" was Episode 5 of Season 3 instead of Episode 1, possible confusion with Lee Thompkins on Gotham, Dr. Walter Bishop of Fringe getting along with Titans' version of the Scarecrow, some comics background on Leslie Thompkins, Nik's crush on Morena Baccarin, wondering what Iain Glen would look like as Batman, Bruce actually calling Jason his son, Molly thinking that Batman only helps out rich people, this older version of Bruce Wayne having regrets over his mistakes with Dick Grayson and making all-new mistakes with Jason Todd, Bruce benching Jason as Robin until he talks with Leslie, wondering why Bruce brought Jason to the exact spot where Bruce's parents were murdered to tell him he'll never be Robin again, Robin being Jason's entire sense of identity and self-worth, the awkward implication that this version of Joker is a pedophile, Jason getting his ass handed to him by Pete Hawkins, Jason trying to find out about Bruce's past relationship with Leslie, Jason deciding he's not able to trust anyone, Leslie telling Jason that Bruce is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, hoping Leslie and Molly don't end up dead as cheap shock value and Women in Refrigerators, wondering how teenaged Jason was allowed to go back and talk alone with Scarecrow in Arkham Asylum, wondering how there happens to be a Lazarus Pit under Arkham Asylum and how no one notices when Scarecrow is missing while in his secret lab, finally getting Scarecrow's master plan, Scarecrow figuring out that Jason is Robin, Jason's deal to tell Scarecrow all of Batman's secrets for an anti-fear gas formula, Jason experimenting on himself over and over until he gets the anti-fear gas formula right, Scarecrow manipulating Jason into getting himself killed by the Joker, Jason's revenge as the Red Hood on Pete Hawkins, Molly being able to figure out that Red Hood was Jason faster than Dick Grayson did, the solid soundtrack choices for the episode, our favorite quotes of the episode, Nik finding some episode titles for the rest of Season 3 online, my brand-new official TitanTalk: The Titans Podcast t-shirt, finally getting to see Lady Vic in live-action, and more!
