Dick is Haunted by His Past in “Bruce Wayne”

Published

on

The relationship between Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne has never really been clear cut. True, Dick is his ward, but as Batman he’s far more than a father figure. It makes sense that being raised by Bruce, Dick would get not just his own baggage but all of Bruce’s too. That certainly seems to be the case in the latest episode of Titans.

This is another one of those epilogue episodes but unlike the others this season it seriously delivers. Jason has just been thrown off a building by Deathstroke and is going through a case of serious trauma and Dick wants to close the book on Deathstroke forever. But it looks like he’s got some company in tracking him down.

The appearance of Bruce Wayne as a figment of Dick’s imagination is a unique take on the character. Not just because it’s an approach that hasn’t really been used but it gives us a deeper look, possibly our deepest, into the personality of Bruce Wayne.

In the past he’s been shown as reserved and emotionless but Iain Glen plays him fast and loose. This is probably the first time we’ve ever seen an unrestrained Bruce Wayne and it’s absolutely amazing. Granted, all of this is seen through Dick’s psyche, so it’s an unreliable version of Bruce. But it’s Bruce nonetheless. There’s a brief sequence in a burlesque club where he shows up on stage and does a classy version of Adam West’s Batusi and not only does he make it cool but it totally fits the character.

More than that, it serves the story and allows it to move forward. Deep in the shadows Deathstroke has been slowly breaking apart the Titans and turning them against one another with a focus on Jason. Always the problem child he is starting to see himself as poison. It’s a legitimate argument given how Jason has been represented in the past .But Titans is all about breaking the mold. Without giving too much away Jason attempts to do something drastic and the only way to stop him from doing it is for Dick to let go of something he’s been holding on to for years, which also gets rid of imaginary Bruce.

It’s a case of brilliant storytelling where multiple threads collide to create one cohesive plot that brings everything together. Up until now the Titans have all had fairly separate plot lines but now everyone is in the house again (including Connor, who is unconscious and recovering from Kryptonite bullet wounds). This allows for the events of the episode to ripple through the team. It’s masterful writing.

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
