Jump City's got its fair share of villains, even villains whose trademarks include big explosions -- Dr Light comes to mind, as does the Hive Five. But no-one has Slade's finesse. To anyone with an eye for these things, the terse news reports flooding in have his signature written all over them.
The city's police forces are going mental, clustered around the site of the robbery. The Titans are a few steps ahead, scanning nearby rooftops and sewers for signs of his robots. They will find none -- Slade's well on his way back to the lair, item secured while his Apprentice is burning some adrenaline by leaving a false trail some distance to the North. The easy flip as he jumps building to building says 'mission accomplished' to anyone who knows him.
