The Titans’ Murder Mystery Highlights the Absurdity of Superhero Stories

As much as people love comics about superheroes, there is a certain suspension of disbelief that goes into following even one story about a character who does the impossible every day. There was no clearer example of this than during Titans #5 (by Tom Taylor, Nicola Scott, Annette Kwok, Wes Abbott). The issue resolved the mystery surrounding who killed a future version of Wally West. Using all the context clues they had picked up earlier, Nightwing deduced that Wally would likely be murdered by Linda Park-West, who was being controlled by an alien parasite.His hunch turned out to be correct, and not only did they save Linda from the parasite, they also averted the future where Wally was killed. In the aftermath, Linda pointed out that Nightwing was probably the only person on Earth who could have found the quite frankly absurd answer to this mystery because of the way he lives his life. Given how nonchalant his friends were about the results of the mystery, it can be surmised that their lives can get fairly ridiculous and at a certain point, they just go with the flow.Given how fast Wally is, and that a gun was the method he was killed with, Nightwing deduced Wally must have been murdered by someone he trusted enough to turn his back on. This immediately meant that Wally had to be isolated from the rest of the world for his own safety, but there were still too many variables to work with. Until they had a legitimate theory, the Flash was essentially benched.
