Nice chapter. Sorry it took so long to review, but it got caught in a black void that is known as my in-box. It had a nice touch and bring Slade into a story with robin will alwasy pique anyones interest. The idea of Selena and Diana meeting could come across as funny or brutal. Any way loved how Tim came in and took charge. Till the next chapter later.

Before I begin pleading with you to update A.S.A.P, I just wanted to tell you how incredibly epic this story is. You haven't forgotten anyone have you? ^_^ I am positively addicted to this story and I cannot wait till you update again

So please, please, please update, I want to know whether or not Robin's going to live and what about everyone else? Where's Beastboy? What's going on with Terra and Slade?

The questions are simply driving me insane, so write, write, write! LOL.

Quite the fic. Interesting and entertaining in the extreme - and a healthy mix of conspiracy. I await the next installment.

Just read from Ch. 1 - 10

By far the best Titan fic on the net. You really have a firm grasp on witty banter, even between high profile rivals like Wayne Ind. and Luthor Corp. It's odd (in a good way), but your style of writing has actually increased the level of detail and fleshed out how the series is animated in my mind's eye. It's like watching Teen Titans but in a level of detail that takes the original style of the series animation and adds something akin to what one would see on Ghost in the Shell 2nd gig. (basically taking the series animation and adding a sort of "maturity" to it.) Very well done indeed. My mind's eye view of robin has even matured and now I'm picturing him as appearing in between the Robin look we all know and love and the Nightwing teaser from the 2nd season (that oddly takes place during an episode including Time Travel LOL.) I also find your vision of the animated Bat to resemble both the new "Dark Knight" movie style Batman along with the Batman from the animated series. And you do so in such a nearly seamless fashion that I forget sometimes that there is a difference between the two styles.

Now for the unfortunate negs, albeit nit picking. While the dialog is very well written, some of the scenes do tend to drag abit. Not much, but enough to cause one to take clear notice. Also, some of the tender/weepy scenes are the ones that feel this way the most. They're not bad mind you, just a bit... long and often. Maybe it's just me, but a bonded/melded psyche of Rob&Rae puts a mental image of the focus and calm I would expect from a Jedi. Allowing emotion but never letting it have control. What I mean is, I see the intense focus, clarity, and burning hot passion of Robin; with the calm, serene, and in control mind set of Raven. That right there would make even Yoda proud. So when the tender/weepy "you complete me" scenes tend to drag abit, I find that it takes away some of the... "Specialness" (<-is that even a word?) of the moments.

All in all, by far and wide, the absolute best Titan fic I've seen to date. You have really set the bar alot higher for all the other authors out there. \

P.S. Excellent scene when Rob takes the bullet. The scene flashing to Titans tower with Raven... I won't ruin it for those who haven't read that far, but that was simply sublime. Your snipers also have a good realistic feel to them, right down to the dialog and jargon.

I like what you've got here. I've only just read this chapter, but I'm looking forward to reading more.

The way you write Robin and Raven are entirely believable and I've always enjoyed the Robin/Raven pairing more than Robin/Starfire...they just mesh together better in my opinion.

After reading your EoC-Note, I'm even more excited about reading the other chapters. So keep up the good work!

Another fantastic chapter. This story is one I am constantly watching for. You drew me in from the very first chapter. I'm loving the reintroduction of Terra to this as well, and a truce with Slade? Unexpected but awesome. I'm a big fan of Catwoman too, so I'm thrilled to see her in here as well. Oh, and I love your Red Green Reference in your end of chapter notes. Very cool. Keep up the amazing work!

Really interesting plot, nice to see the Question in a relatively main char position, never get to see enough of him for some reason even though he is great in the grand mystery plots, even better then the Bat at times.
I'm quiet curious as to Ra's Al Ghul's actual part in this plot, as we have only Batman's assertion that he is the leading force behind it. All in all this seems very contrary to how Ra's views the world, but perhaps I don't fully grasp what his true intent is. I am eager to find out.
On the slightly negative side a couple places the story does drag on a bit, most of the dialog is very good, but a few places it really just went on so long you were hoping the scene would end just so things would get on.
Can't wait for the next chapter.

Whoa, this was an intense chapter here, and that was a heck of a cliffie with Dick there, and can't wait to see the next part of this story, so we can see what all this will mean now, from the Titans and the attack there, and with Dick and Raven probably as close to the edge as she's ever been here, now, and now, we might see some of the heroes take it to the other side now.
