According to the trailer, the series will be about Jason Todd’s death and his eventual return.
Jason’s comic book death searches for his biological mom, whom he finds living somewhere in Africa or the Middle East. Jason meets Batman and follows Joker as he tries to sell a nuclear weapon to terrorists. Jason and Batman defeat Joker’s plot and find Jason’s mother. But she isn’t what Jason expected. Jason’s mother gave him to Joker to save her. Joker then beat Jason to death with a barbell and blows him up just before Batman can save him.
Titans season three will take liberties in its adaptation to create a compelling tale uniquely tailored to the characters developed over the previous two seasons. Titans lays the foundation for this story in its last two seasons by showing Jason and Dick’s love affair with Bruce. There will be some changes to the story, as Batman is replaced by Dick Grayson (and the Titans).
The only thing that makes Jason’s death in Titans seem different than the comics is his location. The trailer implies that the murder happened in Gotham and not in some foreign country. This helps keep the story local. The carnival setting is similar to The Killing Joke. This has already been seen in Titans Canon. This trailer also refers to TKJ. It appears that Dick may play chess together with Scarecrow. Jason’s mother is not likely to be a factor in his death. Instead, Jason’s difficult relationship with Bruce is the focal point. Bruce’s failures as a father figure is also highlighted.
Jason’s death will not change in one aspect: Jason was beaten by the killer with a crowbar. A savage beating is likely to be the cause of death, even though there’s no mention of an explosion in the Titans Season 3 trailer. This is a small change compared to the apparent differences in Batman’s responses to Jason’s death. In comics, Jason’s suicide makes Batman more aggressive against his criminal prey and eventually prompts Superman to intervene. In Titans Bruce’s death leads to him abandoning the cowl as he’s overwhelmed with guilt.

Jason will return to Gotham soon after his quick transition. This will be an exciting change, as it doesn’t allow for much time—Iain Glen’s Bruce and the Titans To to process Jason’s death before dealing with his violent return. Jason Todd’s final moments will be very different. Titans Season 3: It’ll be interesting to see Dick and the team deal with the loss, and step into the shoes of Batman.
