TITANTALK 069: "Prodigal & 1917 Patrol" Is Up!

 
"Oh, I know something that will perk you up. Nightwing is dead. A dismal duel to the death between two beloved Bat brothers. Poetic or pathetic, you be the judge! Come on, how about a little appreciation for all of my hard work. And cool it on the feels. You know, the tragic end of Nightwing, it’s just an aperitif. The main course is the death of your beloved city. I only wish Papa Jim and Batman were around to savor it with you…along with your dearly departed Dick Grayson. God, I miss him already. Anyways, stay tuned, see you soon. Same Crane channel, same Crane time!"
