For so long on Young Justice, the main focus has always been how whenever a member of the Team died, weāve always centered on how the people closest to them have suffered the most because of their passing like Dick and Artemis for Wally and Māgann and Garfield for Conner.
I wonder how the mentors must feel when they lose their protege.
Batman lost Robin (Jason Todd)
Flash lost Kid Flash (Wally West)
Superman lost Superboy (Conner Kent)
The worst thing about each of these loses though is the fact they were also family. Batman lost one of his adoptive sons. Flash lost his nephew and for a time, Superman lost his brother.Ā
We never saw Batmanās reaction to Jasonās death, but poor Flash was there when Wally died and Superman was too late to save Conner.
Itās easy to forget how the mentors also lost their protegeeās and how they must have felt, blaming themselves and believing they failed them which is exactly how Superman felt when he thought Conner died. Although itās really sad, itās nice to see the how mentors were also shaken by these losses, showing how much they cared for them.
