No Batman, no problem! 5 clever ways DC's 'Titans' are saving the day minus the Dark Knight

One good thing about the 'Titans' plot is that, since the very beginning, they have established that Dick Grayson aka Robin is not on speaking terms with a certain Bruce Wayne.

The problem with big-time superheroes is that they usually eclipse other promising characters. Such was the dilemma with DC Universe's upcoming live-action series, 'Titans', which, in more than one ways, is drafted in the shadows of one of the world's greatest crime fighters, Batman. 

From the first teaser to the latest trailer, in fact, references to the caped crusader abound. Whether it is Brenton Thwaites-played Dick Grayson aka Robin explaining his reasons for parting ways with the DC superhero or the ultimate showdown where the boy wonder goes to the extent of exclaiming "F**k Batman", it is pretty evident that DCU's 'Titans' is also going to suffer from the same  syndrome that plagued CW series 'Supergirl' - the question in that case being "Where's Superman?" and not "where's Batman?"
