You're right, Cari. I shouldn't act like I know for certain. I apologize for that, but I'm tired of seeing people complain about the time skip. How logical is it, however, for them to cancel out the events of an entire season, or even partially? Do you know how confused that the kids this show is marketed towards would be? I know there are quite a few complex storylines that may go over the heads of an average ten year old, but how bad would it be if when Season 3 starts and the entire Season 2 was cancelled out because someone from Bart's future, or Bart himself, stopped the Light from controlling the League for 16 hours? The kids would be so confused, asking themselves, "Where's Beast Boy? I thought Nightwing was the leader? Aqualad isn't evil? What about the aliens?"

I don't see them jumping back to the past pernamently, but it could happen temporarily, I guess. The point remains, however, that after 6 episodes of 2016-only storylines, I can't see them spending more than maybe one episode in the past, i.e. 2010-2011. Do you see what I'm trying to say? Logically, to me, the five year jump is here to stay.
