A wild sequence within the newest episode of Titans Season 3, “Prodigal,” could have teased a future hero from DC’s Kingdom Come.
WARNING: The next article incorporates spoilers for Titans Season 3, Episode 12, “Prodigal,” obtainable now on HBO Max.
On the finish of final week’s episode of Titans, Dick Grayson/Nightwing was certainly killed in his battle towards Jason Todd/Red Hood. As is commonly the case in comics, although, Dick does not keep lifeless for lengthy. And within the strategy of coming again to life through Lazarus Pit, Titans seemingly revealed Dick’s future daughter with Koriand’r/Starfire.
After Gar Logan and Rachel Roth/Raven deliver Dick to a Lazarus Pit hidden in Gotham Metropolis, Nightwing begins a wild, surreal journey via his unconscious. He is pressured to contend together with his personal emotions of inadequacy and the loss of life of his mother and father. Finally, this leads him to a imaginative and prescient of his father, who forgives Dick for no matter errors he is made and affirms his love for his son. Then, Dick sees a woman holding a purple balloon and walks in direction of her. She arms him the balloon and says, “Hello, Daddy.”
Performed by Lillian Monize, the kid is simply credited as “Dick’s Little Girl.” As such, it isn’t fully clear if she’s supposed to be any person or if she’s solely a part of Dick’s surreal journey within the Lazarus Pit. There are just a few choices for simply who the character is likely to be meant to symbolize, however the best choice might be Mar’i Grayson/Nightstar.
Created by Mark Waid and Alex Ross, Mar’i first appeared in 1996’s Kingdom Come #1. She’s the daughter of Starfire and Nightwing, making her a human/Tamaranean hybrid able to manipulating power. When Mar’i used to be younger, Starfire died, and the younger Grayson’s relationship with Nightwing finally turned strained. Nonetheless, she served as a key hero in the course of the occasions of that collection.
Total, there’s not lots of proof it’s Mar’i, however there’s on element that is necessary. In Titans, Dick’s daughter is Black. As Starfire is Black on the present and he or she’s had a protracted romantic historical past with Dick within the comics, it isn’t precisely a troublesome leap to say that the little woman is their daughter, particularly since that they had a daughter within the comics.
No matter if this finally ends up being Mar’i, Titans could have simply dropped a large trace that Starfire and Dick’s relationship will progress. Whereas Dick has just lately began up a relationship with Barbara Gordon once more, he and Starfire do have an intimate historical past, and there is a good probability that is not going to stay previously. So going ahead, Mar’i could very effectively develop into a part of the Titans equation.
The primary 12 episodes of Titans Season 3 can be found now on HBO Max. Episode 13 releases Oct. 21.
