Is that (no pun intended) spoilery for the current run of Teen Titans?
Steph, if you're interested, there's a TT promo cover out now with Spoiler/Robin on it, so the story will at least touch there.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Hee. I could never replace Scrappy.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Sooooo. Teen Titans cartoon. Which Robin is that? And where are airhead girl and Raven from?
And then, Justice League, as they are back to back: I though Wonder Woman was always part of the JL, not just randomly called by a Martian. Or is that an early episode? (Has aliens in Metropolis. Which, now that I think of it, isn't very descriptive, as there's always at least one alien in Metropolis.)
Plus, when did Superman and Batman meet? Was Clark still in college when he became Superman, and Batman was already around?
Sorry to pepper you with questions.

I can field the Teen Titans questions....
Sooooo. Teen Titans cartoon. Which Robin is that?
They've never actually said. If we're going by current continuity, it would be Tim Drake. However, in an episode that flashed forward to the future, Robin had become Nightwing, which is clearly Dick Grayson's gig.
My guess is they'll never explicitly say which Robin it is, though *my* opinion is that it's Dick.
And where are airhead girl and Raven from?
They're both Titans of comic-book yore. Starfire (airhead girl) is from another planet and therefore a little out of step (in the cartoon, though not in the comic -- I mean, in the comic she's from another planet, but not out of step). Raven is the daughter of a human and that great big freakish demon in tonight's episode, and the danger with her is that if her emotions get out of control, her evil demon side will take over.

Um, sorry? I guess that's kind of impossible, huh?

Ah-ha. It was pretty snarky. Roommate and I giggled, because Starfire? Is so her younger sister.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is Raven channelling Trigon in the cartoon?
Starfire was a bit ... Anya, but nicer (just as randy, though) at the start of her career.

Ahh, reminds me of my favorite story in Teen Titans, back when the Brotherhood of Evil was hounding Raven and Phobia instigated a hallucination that played upon Raven's Daddy issues.
Unfortunately for the Brotherhood, that particular father/daughter bond was a bit closer than most people's, so when their interference woke Trigon up in a grumpy mood, and he started manifesting though Raven's astral self... well, they should have been careful what they wished for.

I remember that story. Mostly from the cover.

Oh yeah. Trigon's face in negative glaring out from within Raven's soulself was a very striking image.
