I have kept up with what Greg Weisman has said with regard to the layout of the show, and I believe him when he says that this season will stay in the present. It will not address issues like the Justice Society or All Star Squadron. The deaths of Kord, Tula, and Todd, however, seem like a present issues. Their deaths have had effects on the present, like Aqualad becoming "evil", Jaime Reyes becoming Blue Beetle and feeling alone, or Tim Drake becoming the newest Robin. Even though their deaths are events of the past five years, I think we COULD see flashbacks that talk about the circumstances of their deaths, and how it affected the Team now. PLUS, we have the clip for Season 2 which shows that Tula is going to appear in action this season. Either Tula is not really dead (like Artemis, which I think would be stupid), the Tula we are seeing is a clone/hallucination (which I think would be even more stupid), or we are going to see a flashback of her death. I think we could see the same thing for Ted Kord and Jason Todd These kind of flashbacks would talk about the past, but would function to progress the present story. (I know Jason Todd won't appear as Red Hood, but we could still see his death if it is important to the current story).
