Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star

"Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star" is the thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth episodes of the fourth season of Teen Titans Go!, and the one-hundredth-ninety-fourth and the one-hundred-ninety-fifth overall episodes of the series.

Summary
The Justice League holds a talent competition to find a superhero worthy of joining their team and Robin tries everything to win.

Part 1:
Birdarang is hosting the "Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star" and a camera is there to capture all the superheroes, including the Teen Titans, who are lined up and ready to audition to join the Justice League. All the Teen Titans are sure they have a good shot, and show off their super powers (except Robin who, as the others point out, doesn't actually have any super powers).

In a pre-show interview, Robin paints himself as a crime fighting vigilante and starts to tell his tragic backstory about growing up in the circus but Birdarang interrupts him before he can get to the actual sad part. Robin is sure that his connection to Batman will help gain favor with the rest of the judges (the four judges being: Batman, Superman, Aquaman and Wonder Woman). Robin tries a motorcycle trick but screws it up and sends his motorcycle flying into Batman, knocking his former mentor out. All four judges press the red buzzer, meaning he's eliminated. Robin's crying fit backstage gets caught on camera (the "Cry Cam") and Birdarang gleefully replays the private clip, much to Robin's embarrassment.

Starfire is next and in her interview, she tells her backstory about being a princess on Tamaran but being exiled by her sister. Once on earth, she discovered kittens and fell in love with the little animals. Her talent is a lackluster cat circus with a grand finale of an attacking tiger. The Justice League judges quickly buzz her out while fighting off the tiger. Starfire goes backstage and despite trying to be positive ends up bawling on Birdarang's "Cry Cam". Cyborg relates his story about being an up and coming football star before being caught in an accident and becoming a cyborg. He reveals that his new passion is singing and though his backstory is not as tragic as his previous teammates, he is sure he'll do well. In fact, Cyborg serenades Wonder Woman with a love song and he's the first Teen Titan to get the green buzzer, meaning he goes through on to the finals.

Raven is excited to show off her talent to the judges; dancing. She talks about how growing up, her father didn't approve of her dancing. There's a montage of little Raven throughout the years trying to dance but her father kept popping up to remind her that "Demons don't dance". When she shows off her hand-sewn dress, her father (Trigon) shows up and rips up her brand new dress. The first part ends in a cliffhanger as narrated by Birdarang. ("Will Raven be able to preform or will she finally have to hang up her dancing shoes?")

Part 2:
Birdarang welcomes the viewers back with a recap of the previous auditions. Raven solves her problem easily enough by using magic to whip up a new dress. She goes out to perform and starts with a ballet inspired dance but soon segues into heavy metal (with her white dress becoming black). Her dancing impressed not only the judges but her dad who was secretly watching. Robin is upset that Raven got through and demands a second chance.

In an attempt to garner sympathy, Robin offers a fake backstory involving him being a farmer with his grandparents, witnessing his grandmother getting kidnapped by crows, and the family barn getting obliterated by a meteor. His tragic backstory manages to get him back on stage with a new act involving magic. His magic goes about as well as his motorcycle act, and he gets escorted offstage when he tries to bribe Batman. Beast Boy's pre-audition interview reveals he's not all that interested in joining the Justice League and he's only doing it because his friend, Cyborg, was auditioning. His talent is turning into a cow and squirting the four judges with milk. They all give him the red buzzer but Beast Boy is unfazed, telling Birdarang backstage that he doesn't really take it all that seriously.

Robin, who does take it seriously, is back dressed as Tiny Tim (calling himself "Tiny Robin") and ready with a new backstory to garner sympathy. He starts basically tries to retell a Christmas Carol with himself in the "Tiny Tim" role and gets called out by Cyborg. It doesn't seem to matter as the story earns Robin his much desired third chance. On stage he does a ventriloquist act where he makes jokes at the expenses of the judges. Despite Robin's horror (but not able to stop himself) and the League's initial shock, they end up laughing about it and give him the green buzzer, allowing him to move on. Robin is thrilled.

Birdarang reveals the final three: Cyborg, Raven, and Robin. They await the decision of the judges and Robin is the one chosen as the winner. Robin is elated and quickly starts gloating but Birdaraang reveals that his ventriloquist dummy (who looks like Robin) was actually the one chosen. Needless to say, Robin is devastated and Birdarang narrates how successful the Little Robin dummy was when he joined the Justice League. With that, Birdarang signs out.
