History Recap / TeenTitansS2E1HowLongIsForever

* {{Expy}}: The two punks who throw things at Beast Boy are based, appearance-wise, on members of the Mutant gang from ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns''.

-->'''Starfire:''' (''resigned'') There is nothing you can do. There is nothing anyone can do. The past cannot be repaired, the future cannot be altered, no matter how wrong it seems.

* FutureBadass: Robin is the only Titan to get ''more'' badass.

** Before we see Robin's HQ we are treated to a transition that shows a series of clockwork gears. Implying that Nightwing is using [[ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey Oracle's HQ]].

* ShipTease: Starfire and Nightwing's interactions in this episode are semi-romantic. (Well, kind of blatant actually. And just a little awkward (and not to mention confusing) considering Nightwing is somewhere around his mid-thirties.)

** Starfire's fears of the Titans potentially breaking up actually happens after her disappearance to the BadFuture. This fear spreads to the Titans in the present, who quickly celebrate Blorthog.

Starfire notices all her friends drifting apart and tries to call their attention to it. Then, in a fight with a [[TimeTravel time-travelling]] thief, Starfire gets sucked into the future, where her fear has come true. Cyborg is confined to Titans Tower due to his final battery giving out, and him having to remain plugged into the tower's power source at all times. Beast Boy has become afraid of everything, locking himself in a cage to keep passersby away. Raven has lost her mind, believing herself to be hallucinating Starfire when she tries to visit. Finally, Starfire runs into Nightwing, who helps her figure out how to get back to her time, and reforms the (no longer Teen) Titans.

* YouCantFightFate: Void tells Starfire that the BadFuture she's seen is inevitable. She realizes it isn't necessarily so when she returns to the present with the device (which Warp's history records as vanishing permanently at the time he stole it).

-->'''Nightwing:''' Good. If memory serves, we've done the impossible before.

* MythologyGag: Besides the obvious (Robin becoming Nightwing as an adult), there's also how Nightwing stores his Robin costume, which is reminiscent of how Franchise/{{Batman}} stores the costumes of retired or dead Robins.

* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: The future Beast Boy is balding. The present Beast Boy does ''not'' take this well when he is told this.
