Comment: The flashback in this issue takes place between Identity Crisis #1 and #3.

Comment: The epilogue featuring Green Arrow, Helena Sandsmark, Jack of Spades and Doctor Light occurs one week after Green Arrow #46 (which probably happens one week after this issue) and leads directly into the next issue. The other epilogue featuring Luthor and Calculator occurs immediately after the main story with the Teen Titans.

Synopsis:

Robin is grieving the loss of his father, but plans to use his weekend at Titans Tower to forget all about it, as the only person there who knows about his loss is Superboy. The Titans are asked by the League to help out in Opal City while Elongated Man is away, and here they encounter Electrocutioner, sent to retrieve Lex Luthor's amour (stolen by two small-time criminals) by the Calculator. Electrocutioner makes the assumption that Batman is Robin's father and taunts the young hero about this, which triggers all of Robin's grief and rage, ensuring that Electrocutioner is soon defeated, while Warp separately shows up and steals Luthor's armour, taking it back to its rightful owner. Robin then opens up to his team-mates, properly grieving for his father for the first time in over a week.

Some time later, Green Arrow is found and attacked by Doctor Light.
