Teen Titans (series)

Teen Titans is an American animated television series based on the DC Comics characters of the same name. Since Teen Titans Go! is based on this series, the series also features the same five main voice actors as the Teen Titans as in Teen Titans Go!.

About
The series revolves around the five main members of the superhero team: Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire, and their leader Robin. During Season 2, Terra was also a member of the team for a short while until she betrayed them.



The team deals with all manner of criminal activity and threats to Jump City, while dealing with their own struggles with adolescence, their mutual friendships, and their limitations. Slade, their main enemy, is a newly designed version of the DC villain Deathstroke.

Unlike the new series, episodes focused more on the Titans' missions. Each season had a story arc that lasted throughout the entire season, but had many episodes in-between that were not focused on the story.

The story arc of Season 1 focused on Robin and his obsession of finding Slade, an ingenious mercenary who constantly outsmarts the Titans. Near the end, Robin is blackmailed into becoming Slade's apprentice, but he eventually deceives the mercenary, and rejoins the Titans.

Season 2 concentrated on Terra, who became an official Teen Titan and became sort of romantically entwined with Beast Boy. Near the end of the season, however, she betrays the Titans and joins Slade as his apprentice. In the season's final episode, she betrays Slade and drowns him in lava, but imprisoned herself in stone in the process.

The story of Season 3 shifted its focus onto Cyborg, with Brother Blood as the main villain. It focused on Cyborg struggling to become leader of his own team. He soon becomes leader of the newly formed Titans East. Until, Brother Blood takes control of them. He is able to defeat the villain with the help of his old team.

Season 4 fixated on Raven and the coming of her father Trigon. Trigon is depicted as a much darker and powerful villain. Raven eventually leaves the Titans to become his servant, and the two conquer the earth. It is only when the Titans team up with their resurrected archenemy, Slade, that they restore Raven and defeat the villains.

Season 5 showed Beast Boy's original team, and how they defeated his old-time enemies, the Brotherhood of Evil. It is only after he teams up with all of the earth's honorary Titans that he is able to put the bad guys away once and for all.

The final episode of the series showed Terra's return, somehow free of her stone imprisonment. However, she apparently has no memory of meeting the Titans but it's speculated that she does remember but chose not to return to the Titans wanting to live a normal teenage life. After a battle with Slade, Beast Boy respected her wishes and finally decides to let her go.

Teen Titans: Trouble In Tokyo was a movie based on the series, where the Teen Titans travel to Tokyo following a lure of one of the most dangerous villains they ever faced called Brushogun. The movie marks the end of the series, and is significant because Robin and Starfire finally admit their feelings for each other.

Cancellation
In mid-November 2005, TitansTower.com reported that prospects for a sixth season were looking extremely unlikely, and fans were urged to express their support for the show to Cartoon Network. Several days after this initial posting, word came that Cartoon Network had officially terminated the show. According to Wil Wheaton, the actor who provided the voice of Aqualad, the series was terminated by new Warner Bros. Feature Animation executives who made the decision not to renew the series based on its sixth season pitch. Wheaton's story was contradicted by series story editor Rob Hoegee, who stated that the decision came from Cartoon Network, not WB, and that there were never any plans for a sixth season.

After the series finale, Warner Bros. Animation announced a feature called Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo. The film premiered at San Diego Comic-Con International and was shown on Cartoon Network first on September 15, 2006, aired on The WB on September 16, 2006, and finally released on DVD on February 6, 2007.

Towards the end of 2011, Internet rumors speculated that a sixth season of the show was in the works.Such rumors were based on reports that Greg Cipes, the voice of Beast Boy on the show, had stated that work on a new season was underway and that a live action Teen Titans film was planned for release at the end of 2012. Around 2012, Derrick Wyatt (animation designer of the series) also stated the next arc would feature the Titans setting up international Towers, and battling the monster from the season 5 finale.

As of 2017 there has been no progress on the series at all and it's unknown if there ever will be.

However Tara Strong stated at Fan Expo Dallas 2015 that she is totally open to a new season of Teen Titans. She stated, "Honestly because of the Success of Teen Titans Go!, I can't imagine television without some form of Teen Titans on the air." She further stated if Teen Titans Go! ever gets cancelled, that there is a possibility of either Warner Bros, Cartoon Network or Adult Swim reviving and doing another season of the original. She repeated her claim at Puerto Rico Comic Con 2017, Stating, "I hope they bring back Season 6. I don't care if they do Teen Titans on Ice, I'll still do the show."

In addition the success of Samurai Jack on Adult Swim could open the door for a possible revival of some type in the near future.

Teen Titans Go!
Teen Titans Go! is a reimagining of the original series, following the original spin-off, New Teen Titans. All of the main voice actors reprised their roles. While the original series was somewhat dark in spite of being a lighter adaptation of the original comics, Teen Titans Go! is even lighter in most aspects, but does consist of darker humor. Teen Titans Go's theme song is a remix of the original series's theme song, which was much longer. Many of the supporting characters have returned, however several have had voice actor changes such as Speedy, Killer Moth, and The Brain being voiced by Scott Menville.

Differences from Teen Titans Go!
The Titans' personalities and attitudes have changed drastically for the most part, as they are much more wild and immature in the new show. Robin changed the most, as he would keep a calm and cool head in the original series, but panics at everything in the new one. Cyborg has changed quite a bit too. He was like a cross between original series Robin and Beast Boy, but now seems to be much like Beast Boy in being lazier and crazier. Raven has changed a little, with her dark, grouchy, emotionless nature being more exaggerated, as well as her personality being revealed to be due to her cursed cloak. Beast Boy hasn't changed much, still being a fun-loving slacker, except he is noticeably less intelligent, yet his jokes aren't received with as many groans and he is less likely to be taken down by enemies in relation to the other Titans. Starfire also hasn't changed much, still being seen as the kind, innocent, naive girl, however she seems to be even less familiar with earth customs than before and is trying even harder to fit in. Every character's design is strongly based on the original series, but drawn to fit the format of the new series.

Unlike the original series, Terra never becomes a Titan or really had a interest in Beast Boy, in a sense making her more authentic to her original comic incarnation. However, she appears to have fallen for Beast Boy at some point after the events in "Be Mine". They became a couple, but eventually shortly broke up with him as revealed in "Rocks and Water".

Also, it now appears that Raven has strong romantic feelings for Beast Boy, but keeps it a secret from the other Titans and it appears that Beast Boy likes her back. This was vaguely hinted a few times in the original show and in the Teen Titans Go! comics based on it, but now it is solidly confirmed in this series.

Also, Starfire is not shown to have any romantic feelings, whereas Robin is shown too have such strong romantic feelings for her it becomes an obsession. Instead, in the original, Robin and Starfire have strong mutual romantic feelings for each other.

Also, it appears that the H.I.V.E. Five have replaced Slade as the main villains of the series, being in more episodes than any other malefactor. Slade has never had a main role yet. In addition, Gizmo replaced Jinx as the leader of the H.I.V.E Five. Kyd Wykkyd, a member of the H.I.V.E. in the original series, doesn't appear as a member in Go!, but instead as a solo villain.
