** What follows is him blowing up the Tower with him inside. All Robin can do is futilely try to escape as everything burns around him. He even starts doubting himself again, since, as Slade mocked above, he turned his back on everything, including his friends, [[ForWantOfANail all because he wanted a movie]]. Sure, it does have a ''quick'' MoodWhiplash because of [[ChekhovsGag Robin's]] [[RunningGag baby hands]], but this moment is completely and utterly lacking the show's [[LighterAndSofter typical style]]. And even before this, the moment is made worse by [[EmpathyDollShot showing the rooms on fire]]. And the last thing shown before the scene below? A picture of all of the Titans together, happy.

* The Titans sneak into the premiere of ''Batman Again!'' and see a couple of previews, each pertaining to Batman's sidekick. First movie: Alfred. Second movie: Batmobile. Third movie: ''Utility Belt''. Funny, at first, but what makes it sad is that before the third trailer is properly introduced, Robin climbs up onto the stage to thank everyone for finally giving him a movie. But then, Atom laughs at him, saying, "He thought the movie was about ''him!''" Then nearly every other superhero laugh as well, except for the other Titans, who are visibly saddened for Robin, who then ''[[InelegantBlubbering bursts into hysterical tears]] and runs out of the theater''.

** Worse, for all Robin knows, his friends are ''dead'', and he's steeling himself to face Slade ''alone'', and willing to pay any price to take him down. It's a rare moment when the show is genuinely serious and dramatic and playing the scene completely straight, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkMA1b7NTm0 as does the music score]].

** That last part is a '''''major''''' GutPunch for sure, considering how infrequently ''Go!'' plays their feelings for each other this straight. Even sadder when we learn of Jade/Slade's true plan (read: to mind control the entire world to do his bidding). [[HarsherInHindsight Starfire would have been one of the first victims.]]
