Summary Part 1 : The Brain's home life is disrupted when his slacker brother Brian comes to visit.
Part 2 : The Brain and Monsieur Mallah continue dealing with Brian's messes, but when their henchmen are in trouble, everyone works together; including their archenemies: the Teen Titans.
Plot Part One Part Two Characters Major Minor Trivia This is the seventeenth half-hour special of the series.
This is also the first half-hour special without showing the title twice.
This is the fifth episode to focus on the villains, after "Opposites ", "The HIVE Five ", "Operation Tin Man " and "Villains in a Van Getting Gelato ".
This episode premiered exactly one year after the passing of George Pérez .
Aside from Robin briefly appearing at the end of Part 1, none of the main five Titans appear in that part. They only appeared in part 2 with minor roles.
This is Monsieur Mallah 's first speaking appearance in the series, with Fred Tatasciore replacing the late Glenn Shadix from the original series of 2003.
This episode implies that the Brain and Monsieur Mallah, with them having revealed to have the Henchmen as their adoptive children, are in a romantic relationship. Continuity References DCUgram is a parody/reference to the real-life social media platform, Instagram .The scene of the Joker taking Robin hostage to advertise crowbars was a reference to DC comics where he captured the Jason Todd Robin and beat him with a crowbar, prior to leaving him after rigging the warehouse to explode. Errors Mallah implies earlier in the episode that Brian has visited him and The Brain before. However, The Brain introduces Brian to their home as if he’s never been there before. Running Gags Brian unintentionally making Mallah's life miserable.
Mallah drinking and then spitting out his drinks out of shock.
The Titans holding back to let Brian win. Transcript The transcript for "The Brain of the Family" can be found here
