'''''Teen Titans''''' was an [[United States|American]] [[animated television series]] created by [[Sam Register]] and [[Glen Murakami]] and produced by [[Warner Bros. Animation]]. It premiered on [[Cartoon Network]] on [[July 19]], 2003. Its last episode, "Things Change", premiered on [[January 16]], 2006. The series lasted five seasons with a total of 65 episodes. [[DC Comics]] publishes the comic book ''[[Teen Titans Go]]'', which is based on the series. The [[DTV|direct to video]] film ''Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo'' will act as the series finale.
 
'''''Teen Titans''''' is an American animated [[superhero fiction|superhero]] television series created by [[Glen Murakami]], who developed the series with [[David Slack]] and [[Sam Register]]. Based on [[DC Comics]]'s superhero team [[Teen Titans]], it was produced by [[Warner Bros. Animation]], and DC Comics (for season 5). The show premiered on [[Cartoon Network]] on July 19, 2003; its first two seasons also aired on [[Kids' WB]]. Initially, only four seasons were planned, but the popularity of the series led to Cartoon Network ordering a fifth season. The final half-hour episode of the show, "Things Change", aired on January 16, 2006; it was later followed by a TV movie, ''[[Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo]]'', that premiered on September 15 the same year, serving as the [[series finale]]. A 15-minute episode titled "The Lost Episode" was released as part of an online promotional campaign by [[Post Consumer Brands]] in January 2005.
''Teen Titans'' is based on the [[DC Comics]] [[superhero]] team, the [[Titans (comics)|Teen Titans]], primarily the stories told in the early-80s ''The New Teen Titans'' comic book series by [[Marv Wolfman]] and [[George Perez]]. The series revolves around main team members [[Robin (comics)|Robin]], [[Starfire (comics)|Starfire]], [[Cyborg (comics)|Cyborg]], [[Beast Boy]], and [[Raven (comics)|Raven]]. The series is character-driven, with a focus on the main characters’ struggles with being [[teenager|teen-aged]] superheroes, their mutual friendships, and their limitations.
 
''Teen Titans'' became one of Cartoon Network's most popular series, renowned for its humor, and storylines. During its run, the series was nominated for three [[Annie Awards]] and one Motion Picture Sound Editors Award. Spin-off media included comics, DVD releases, video games, music albums, and collectible toys. In 2013, the show spawned a spin-off, titled ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'', which received a theatrical film that was released on July 27, 2018, titled ''[[Teen Titans Go! To the Movies]]''. In 2019, a crossover film with ''Teen Titans Go!'' was released, titled ''[[Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans]]''. It features the first appearance of the original series characters after 13 years.
[[Image:TeenTitansLogo155x155.PNG|thumb|100px|left|The '''Teen Titans''' shield logo]]
 
The series was first shown on [[Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang]] from February 2, 2009, replacing ''[[Voltron: Defender of the Universe]]'' until October 31, 2010. It returned to Boomerang's line-up on October 3, 2011, and left the schedule again on June 1, 2014.
Seasons two and four are based upon two of the most popular ''New Teen Titans'' arcs, “Judas Contract” and “Terror of Trigon” respectively. Many characters from the comics, including [[Aqualad]] and [[Speedy (comics)|Speedy]], appear throughout the series.
 
==Premise==
The series is assumed to be set in "Jump City"{{ fact}}, but the city is never mentiond by name, although Cyborg indicates it is far from [[Gotham]], and it appears to be on the West Coast. The team uses [[Titans Tower]], also from the comic books, as a headquarters.
[[File:TeenTitansTogether.png|280px|thumb|right|The Teen Titans from left to right:<br />[[Cyborg (DC Comics)|Cyborg]], [[Dick Grayson|Robin]], [[Beast Boy]], [[Starfire (Teen Titans)|Starfire]], and [[Raven (DC Comics)|Raven]]]]
''Teen Titans'' is based primarily on stories by [[Marv Wolfman]] and [[George Pérez]] from the 1980s, featuring characters, storylines, and concepts introduced during the run, and incorporating a similar group of members. The five main members of the eponymous team in the series are [[Dick Grayson|Robin]] ([[Scott Menville]]), the intelligent and capable leader of the Teen Titans; [[Starfire (Teen Titans)|Starfire]] ([[Hynden Walch]]), a quirky, curious alien princess from the planet Tamaran; [[Cyborg (DC Comics)|Cyborg]] ([[Khary Payton]]), a half-human/half-robot cyborg who is known for his strength and technological prowess; [[Raven (DC Comics)|Raven]] ([[Tara Strong]]), a stoic girl from the parallel world Azarath who draws upon dark energy and [[psionics|psionic]] abilities; and [[Beast Boy]] ([[Greg Cipes]]), a good-natured joker who can transform into various animals. They are situated in Titans Tower, a large T-shaped building featuring living quarters, a command center, and a variety of training facilities on an island just offshore from the [[West Coast of the United States|West Coast]] metropolis of Jump City. The team deals with all manner of criminal activity and threats to the city, while dealing with their own struggles with adolescence, their mutual friendships, and their limitations.
 
The first season focuses on the Teen Titans' introduction to the mysterious supervillain [[Deathstroke|Slade]] ([[Ron Perlman]]), who seeks to turn Robin into his apprentice. The second season is an adaptation of "The Judas Contract" storyline where new hero [[Terra (character)|Terra]] ([[Ashley Johnson (actress)|Ashley Johnson]]) joins the team while secretly plotting against them with Slade. The third season depicts Cyborg's conflict with [[H.I.V.E.]] and their leader [[Brother Blood]] ([[John DiMaggio]]), prompting Cyborg to form the superhero team Titans East with [[Garth (comics)|Aqualad]] ([[Wil Wheaton]]), [[Roy Harper (character)|Speedy]] ([[Mike Erwin]]), [[Bumblebee (DC Comics)|Bumblebee]] ([[T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh]]), and [[Más y Menos]] ([[Freddy Rodriguez (actor)|Freddy Rodriguez]]). In the fourth season, Raven finds herself unwillingly involved in a plot that threatens the existence of the world when her demon father [[Trigon (comics)|Trigon]] ([[Kevin Michael Richardson]]) seeks to enslave the Earth. For the fifth season, the Teen Titans join forces with several other heroes to combat the [[Brotherhood of Evil]], Beast Boy's longtime adversaries, and their army of villains.
''Teen Titans'' frequently uses self-referential humor, and its animation style is heavily influenced by [[anime]]. On different episodes, the series' theme song's lyrics alternate between English and [[Japan]]ese, sung by the [[J-Pop]] duo [[Puffy AmiYumi|Puffy]] (called "Puffy AmiYumi" in the United States to distinguish it from [[Sean Combs]]).
 
==Episodes==
According to [[Wil Wheaton]], the actor who provided the voice of Aqualad, the series was canceled because new Warner Bros. Feature Animation executives decided not to renew the series based on the pitch for the sixth season. Although some rumors claim that it was due to a massive layoff at the WB studios.

While most episodes are not connected with a central plot, each season features several episodes devoted to the series' [[Series Mythology|mythology]]. The first season introduces [[Deathstroke|Slade]], an arch-rival of Robin and the Titans. The second-season adaptation of "Judas Contract" introduces [[Terra (comics)|Terra]], who eventually betrays the Titans to Slade, just as she had in the comic books. The third season focuses on [[Brother Blood]] and the [[H.I.V.E.]] academy and ends with the creation of the Titans East team, based on the [[East Coast of the United States|East Coast]]. The fourth season adapts the "Terror of Trigon" arc, showcasing Raven and her relationship with her father, the demon-god [[Trigon (comics)|Trigon]]. Lastly, the fifth season focuses on the [[Brotherhood of Evil]], longtime enemies of the [[Doom Patrol]], the superhero team to which Beast Boy once belonged.

===Secret identities===
==Criticism==
<!-- Please refer to the discussion about secret identities on the talk page before editing this section. Also, if anything is to be added, please cite your source. -->
Despite being popular with many viewers, some fans of the comics criticized the series for having a "childish nature". [http://www.teevee.org/archive/2003/10/31/] Some [[cartoon]] fans disliked the series for its hybrid of western- and eastern-style animation. [http://www.animeboredom.co.uk/anime-reviews/teen-titans/276/]
Unlike most other superhero television series, the ''Teen Titans'' characters maintain their superhero identities at all times, with any hints at the concept of an [[alter ego]] or [[secret identity]] rarely explored.
 
{{blockquote|It was really important to me that little kids watching it could identify with characters. And I thought that the minute you start giving them secret identities then kids couldn't project themselves onto the characters anymore. And that was important to me. I know it's kind of important to have secret identities and stuff like that but we wanted everything to be really, really, iconic. Like, "Oh, there's the [[Cyborg (DC Comics)|robot guy]]. There's the [[Starfire (Teen Titans)|alien girl]]. There's the [[Raven (DC Comics)|witch girl]]. There's the [[Beast Boy|shape-changing boy]]. There's the…" We just wanted it really clean like that. We wanted it like old ''Star Trek''. We just wanted it simple…<br /><br />
The series' creators unabashedly admitted that younger children were the intended audience for the series. Executive Producer and [[Cartoon Network]] V.P. Sam Register responded to such criticism:
…And the whole "Who's Robin?" controversy is really kind of interesting to me. My big concern is just trying to make Robin cool. And just really set Robin apart from Batman. So if it seems like I'm avoiding the question, I sort of am. Because I don't think it's really important. My concern is how do I make Robin a really strong lead character without all that other stuff. And I feel that way about all the characters. How can I keep all the characters really iconic and really clean.|2=

"''[[Justice League (animated series)|Justice League]]'' is awesome and ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' is awesome and we buy a lot of anime shows that're great, but those shows really are directed more towards the nine to fourteen age group and the six and seven and eight year olds, were not gelling with the ''Justice League'' and some of the more of the fanboy shows...
The main mission was making a good superhero show for kids. Now if the fanboys happen to like the ''Teen Titans'' also, that's great, but that was not our mission."

The secret identity of [[Robin (character)|Robin]], an alias assumed by multiple characters in the comics, is never explicitly revealed in the series. However, several hints are provided to suggest he is [[Dick Grayson]], the original Robin and founding member of the Teen Titans:
==Secret identities==
* Robin's alternate dimensional counterpart Larry in the episode "Fractured" is named Nosyarg Kcid—Dick Grayson spelled backwards.
<!-- Please refer to discussion about secret identities on talk page before editing this section. Also, if anything is to be added, please cite your source. -->
* Robin's future counterpart in the episode "How Long Is Forever?" has taken on the identity of [[Nightwing]], Grayson's second superhero alias.
Unlike most other superhero television series, the ''Teen Titans'' characters maintain their superhero identities at all times, though the series hints at the concept of an [[alter-ego]] or [[secret identity]] but rarely explores. Robin was even shown sleeping in his costume.
* The main romance in the show is Robin's relationship with Starfire, whom Grayson would romance in the comics.
* A glimpse into Robin's consciousness by Raven in the episode "Haunted" shows the memory of two acrobats falling from a trapeze, a reference to the death of Grayson's acrobat parents being the catalyst for him becoming Robin.
* Further connections to the [[Batman]] mythos include two references in the episode "The Apprentice", when Robin responds to a suggestion by the villain [[Deathstroke|Slade]] that he "might be like a father to [him]" with "I already have a father" (which transitions to a shot of flying bats) and a fight scene on the rooftop of [[Wayne Enterprises]].
 
The ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'' episode "Permanent Record" would satirize the mystery of Robin's identity by explicitly giving his name as "Robin v.3: [[Tim Drake]]" (the third Robin), with "Dick Grayson" and "[[Jason Todd]]" (the second Robin) being written over. Subsequent episodes, however, establish him as Dick Grayson through vague flashbacks to his boyhood at Haley Circus.
In particular, some fans debated which of the comic book [[Robin (comics)|Robin]]s leads the Teen Titans. While the series never explicitly states that he is original Robin [[Dick Grayson (TV series)|Dick Grayson]], this identity is often implied. For instance, in one episode, Robin's alternate dimensional counterpart [[List of minor characters in the Teen Titans animated series#Larry|Larry]] gives as his real name Nosyarg Kcid ("Dick Grayson" spelled backwards).
 
In the comics, Starfire and Raven are the real names of their respective characters. While the show does not specify this with the latter, the former acknowledges "Starfire" as the English translation of her name in the season 5 episode "Go!" and her native name, Koriand'r, is used in the season 3 episode "Betrothed". The comic versions of these characters, however, also use the civilian aliases Kory Anders and Rachel Roth, which are not used on the show.
Producer Glen Murakami commented on secret identities:
<blockquote class="toccolours">

And I thought that the minute you start giving them secret identities then kids couldn’t project themselves onto the characters anymore. And that was important to me.

The policy of not mentioning the characters' secret identities would be broken in the season 5 premiere "Homecoming" when [[Elasti-Girl]] refers to Beast Boy by his real name, Garfield. Cyborg's real name in the comics, Victor Stone, is referenced in the season 3 premiere "Deception" when he uses "Stone" as an undercover alias, although the series does not identify this as his real name.
The series briefly alludes to Batman: When Slade attempts to make Robin his protege, Robin remarks, "I already have a father," and a shot of bats flying through a dark sky is shown. In "Go!", a crook asks, "Aren't you supposed to be with-" but then is interrupted by Robin. In the episode "How long is Forever?", in the future, Starfire meets [[Nightwing]], [[Dick Grayson]]'s superhero identity after he gives up being Robin.
 
==Production==
This “policy” is broken in the fifth season, in which [[Doom Patrol]] members refer to Beast Boy by his real name, Garfield; however, the Titans continue to call him Beast Boy. Starfire's and Cyborg's backgrounds and real names are alluded to in earlier seasons: Cyborg chooses the alias "Stone" in the episode "Deception", a nod to his name [[Victor Stone]] in the [[DC Universe|DC Comics]], while Starfire's name, Koriand'r, is spoken aloud onscreen amidst a line of Tamaranian language in the episode "Betrothed." (The fifth season origin-episode "Go!" mentions that Starfire is a translation of her Tamaranian name.) The policy is never an issue with Raven, who never had a secret identity.
===Soundtrack===
The series is known for featuring both an English and Japanese version of its title theme song, created by [[Andy Sturmer]] and performed by Japanese band [[Puffy AmiYumi]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Teen Titans Theme |url=http://www.puffyamiyumiworld.com/songs/teentitanstheme.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180904145226/http://www.puffyamiyumiworld.com/songs/teentitanstheme.html |archive-date=September 4, 2018 |access-date=September 14, 2018 |publisher=Puffy AmiYumi World}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Teen Titans (Japanese version) |url=http://www.puffyamiyumiworld.com/songs/teentitansjap.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181010192449/http://www.puffyamiyumiworld.com/songs/teentitansjap.html |archive-date=October 10, 2018 |access-date=September 14, 2018 |publisher=Puffy AmiYumi World}}</ref> The title theme used in the regions where the show was broadcast varied; some would play only one version, while Japan - and the English language video editions - would use both, according to the respective episode's plot theme: the English lyrics for more serious stories, the Japanese version for more comedic tones.<ref name="Yattatachi">{{cite web|url=http://yattatachi.com/puffy-amiyumi|title=Puffy Amiyumi: The Iconic and Multifaceted Duo|publisher=Yattatachi|access-date=September 14, 2018|date=June 21, 2017|archive-date=September 14, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180914061107/http://yattatachi.com/puffy-amiyumi|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
The first-season episode "Mad Mod" also featured another song by Puffy AmiYumi, "K2G".<ref name="Yattatachi" /> In the feature-length film [[Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo|''Trouble in Tokyo'']], a literal translation of the Japanese song, whose actual lyrics differ greatly from its English counterpart, is performed for comedic effect.<ref name="Yattatachi" />
==Continuity==
<!-- Please refer to discussion about continuity on talk page before editing this section. Also, if anything is to be added, please cite your source. -->
''Teen Titans'' has never been established explicitly to be a part of the larger [[DC Animated Universe]], a source of fan controversy. Indicating separation from the DC Animated Universe, series producer [[Bruce Timm]] stated the series would not [[crossover]] with ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]''. However, it has been said that he had considered it,<!-- Who said this? Where? -->{{citation needed}} but decided against it due to the differences in style and presentation. Series creator Glen Murakami echoed Timm, saying the inspiration for the series is the [[1980]]s ''The New Teen Titans'' comic book series, not the ''Justice League'' animated series. Additionally, while [[Batman]] mentions the Titans in the ''[[Static Shock]]'' crossover episode "Hard as Nails," nothing indicates it is the same team represented in ''Teen Titans''.
 
===Cancellation===
Despite all this, there are gentle nods to the DCAU in ''Teen Titans''. [[Michael Rosenbaum]], who plays [[Wally West]], the [[Flash]], on ''[[Justice League (animated series)|Justice League]]'', perfomed the voice of [[Kid Flash]] in several episodes of ''Teen Titans'', the two characters portrayed similarly. And in the ''Justice League Unlimited'' episode "Flash and Substance", a similar Kid Flash costume is on display in the [[Flash Museum]]. The ''Justice League Unlimited'' episode "Patriot Act" features Speedy in a design strikingly similar to the one used on ''Teen Titans'', though seemingly older. voiced by the same actor who played him in Teen Titans, [[Mike Erwin]], the same actor who played the Speedy ''Teen Titans'' reprised the role for ''Justice League Unlimited''.
In mid-November 2005, TitansTower.com reported that prospects for a sixth season were unlikely, and fans were urged to express their support for the show to [[Cartoon Network]].<ref name="TitansSixthSeasonUnlikely">{{cite web |date=November 15, 2005 |title=Teen Titans' Sixth Season Looks Unlikely |url=http://titanstowermonitor.blogspot.com/2005/11/teen-titans-sixth-season-looks.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170805020527/http://titanstowermonitor.blogspot.com/2005/11/teen-titans-sixth-season-looks.html |archive-date=August 5, 2017 |access-date=January 22, 2017 |publisher=Titans Tower Monitor}}</ref> Several days after this initial posting, the series was announced to have been cancelled.<ref name="TitansSixthSeasonUnlikely" /> According to [[Wil Wheaton]], the actor who provided the voice of Aqualad, the series was terminated by new Warner Bros.

After the last episode, [[Warner Bros. Animation]] released a feature film titled ''[[Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo]]''. The film premiered at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] and was shown on Cartoon Network first on September 15, 2006, before airing on [[Kids' WB]] on September 16, and releasing on DVD on February 6, 2007.

===Proposed spin-off===
'''Titans East'''
As early as August 2006, there were reports that ''Teen Titans'' would undergo a possible re-branding, with producer Glen Murakami citing the 1995 hiatus of ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'', which was retooled in 1997 as ''[[The New Batman Adventures]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Rossen|first=Jake |date=August 2006 |title='Toonig Out - 'Toyfare' Investigates the Cancellation of 'Teen Titans' and 'Justice League Unlimited'|url= |magazine=[[Toyfare]] #108 |___location= |publisher=[[Wizard Entertainment]]}}</ref> According to Rob Hoegee, this had been suggested by Sam Register after he and David Slack had left the show, leaving Murakami and Amy Wolfram to develop a proposal for a new show that would have expanded the team with the characters introduced in the fifth season.

The show was slated to introduce new villains, notably one named "Athena" who had the [[Midas touch]] and was accompanied by an ever-changing roster of superpowered suiters as well as a posse of robot girls, and see the return of villains such as [[Mad Mod]], [[Control Freak (Teen Titans)|Control Freak]], and Soto. Series artist, Brianne Drouhard, has also stated doing visual development on a character that was not mentioned in the reporting.<ref>{{Cite tweet |user=@potatofarmgirl |number=1381712868614135809 |title=I don't remember much, but I do remember helping w vis dev on a major character who isn't mentioned here at all... so... a mystery.}}</ref> Murakami also expressed interest in using [[Phobia (comics)|Phobia]], [[Mister Twister (comics)|Mister Twister]], and [[Ravager (DC Comics)|Ravager]].<ref>{{cite web |title="Five Seasons of Murakanime" - An Interview with Teen Titans Producer Glen Murakami |url=http://www.titanstower.com/five-seasons-of-murakanime/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130106071026/http://www.titanstower.com/five-seasons-of-murakanime/ |archive-date=January 6, 2013 |access-date=December 23, 2022}}</ref>

The pitch documents included information on a holiday episode, as well as a plot line in which [[Mal Duncan|Herald]] would unknowingly create a rift in "Dimension X", allowing a microscopic, self-replicating creature to travel to Earth. According to series artist Derrick J. Wyatt, this would have tied back to the original series and the unnamed creature from the series finale "Things Change".<ref>{{Cite tweet |user=@DerrickJWyatt |number=1381710388530618368 |title=Some of it seems kind of familiar.

The Dimension X stuff was supposed to tie into the creature from the final episode with Terra}}</ref>
Before season 5, the series used a "villain-of-the-week" format, with most villains appearing in only one episode, while others appear as a main villain in multiple episodes. In the fifth season, however, most villains join the Brotherhood of Evil, making appearances in the season opener and the last three episodes before the season finale.
 
===Crossover with ''Teen Titans Go!''===
A [[Post-credits scene|mid-credits scene]] from ''[[Teen Titans Go! To the Movies]]'' featured the 2003 Titans' return, in which Robin states they've "found a way back".<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2018/7/30/17629792/teen-titans-go-to-the-movies-after-credit-scene|title=Teen Titans Go! to the Movies post-credits hints at classic Teen Titans cartoon's return|publisher=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]|last=Radulovic|first=Petrana|access-date=30 July 2018}}</ref>
 
In 2019, Warner Bros. released a crossover film featuring the Titans from both shows, titled ''[[Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans]]''.<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-original-animated-teen-titans-will-return-for-teen-1829994160/amp|title=The Original Animated Teen Titans Will Return for ''Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans''|publisher=i09|last=Whitbrook|first=James|access-date=25 October 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XPG2xEEOmo |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211222/1XPG2xEEOmo |archive-date=2021-12-22 |url-status=live|title=Teen Titans Go!

==Legacy==
The series was revisited as a series of shorts in 2012 for the ''[[DC Nation Shorts|DC Nation]]'' programming block on Cartoon Network. Dubbed ''New Teen Titans'', the shorts began airing on September 11. The shorts featured the Titans in [[Chibi (term)|chibi]] form, with the principal cast members of the original series returning.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/02/15/exclusive-the-titans-face-3d |title=Return of the TeenTitans – Teen Titans Video |website=[[IGN]] |date=February 15, 2012 |access-date=September 21, 2013 |archive-date=January 9, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140109220147/http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/02/15/exclusive-the-titans-face-3d |url-status=live}}</ref>
 
[[Ciro Nieli]], one of the show's directors, would go on to create Disney's ''[[Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!]]'', another superhero action show with a large anime influence, but premiered in 2004 on [[Jetix]], and featured Beast Boy's voice actor [[Greg Cipes]] as the voice of Chiro, the show's main protagonist. [[Sam Register]], producer of the series, also made his own show in 2004 with ''[[Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi]]'' on Cartoon Network, which was based on the pop duo who did the theme song, and also had an anime influence, but was created more to be a slapstick comedy in the veins of ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' and ''[[Tom and Jerry]]''.
 
''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'' was announced as a spin-off, with many voices the same, but not significantly related in terms of story to both the ''Teen Titans'' series and the ''New Teen Titans'' shorts.<ref name="ref1">{{cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/08/teen-titans-returning-with-new-full-length-episodes|title=Teen Titans Returning With New Full Length Episodes|access-date=June 15, 2012|date=June 8, 2012|website=IGN|last=Goldman|first=Eric|archive-date=November 6, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151106193118/http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/08/teen-titans-returning-with-new-full-length-episodes|url-status=live}}</ref> The series premiered on April 23, 2013.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Teen Titans Reimagined for Cartoon Network this Spring in 'Teen Titans Go!'|url=http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2013/03/13/teen-titans-reimagined-for-cartoon-network-this-spring-in-teen-titans-go|publisher=DC Comics|access-date=May 26, 2013|date=March 13, 2013}}</ref>
 
Richardson, Payton, Strong, Cipes, and Walch reprised their respective character roles as Trigon, Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Blackfire in ''[[DC Super Hero Girls]]''.
 
Payton reprised his role as Cyborg in ''[[Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered]]'', ''[[Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League]]'', ''[[Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League – Attack of the Legion of Doom]]'', ''[[Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League – Cosmic Clash]]'', ''[[Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League – Gotham City Breakout]]'' along with Cipes, Walch, and Menville (although he played the [[Damian Wayne]] Robin), ''[[Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash]]'', and ''[[Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Aquaman – Rage of Atlantis]]''. He has also reprised his role as Cyborg on ''[[Justice League Action]]''.
 
Several character details from ''Teen Titans'', like Raven's standard incantation ''Azarath Metrion Zinthos'' and Beast Boy's super-werewolf form from the episode "The Beast Within", were incorporated into the [[DC Universe Animated Original Movies|animated film]] ''[[Justice League vs. Teen Titans]]''.
 
===Impact on DC continuity===
''Teen Titans'' has never been established to be a part of the larger [[DC Animated Universe]] or ''[[The Batman (TV series)|The Batman]]'' animated series. Series producer [[Bruce Timm]] said the series would not [[fictional crossover|cross over]] with ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]''. Despite this, the series was alluded to in the ''[[Static Shock]]'' episode "Hard as Nails", where [[Static (DC Comics)|Static]] asked Batman where Robin was, to which Batman responded, "With the Titans...You'll meet them some day". The character [[Roy Harper (character)|Speedy]], who first appeared in the episode "Winner Take All", later appeared in ''Justice League Unlimited'' with the same costume design and voice actor ([[Mike Erwin]]). [[Kid Flash]] was voiced by [[Michael Rosenbaum]] in his appearances in the show, who was the same actor who voiced [[the Flash]] in ''Justice League Unlimited''; both characters are the [[Wally West]] incarnations. The follow-up series, ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'', has featured several appearances by [[Batman]], but they have all been non-speaking appearances. Both [[Batman]] and [[Alfred Pennyworth]] appear in DC Nation's ''New Teen Titans'' "Red X Unmasked". In the season 2 episode of ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'', "Let's Get Serious", [[Kaldur'ahm|Aqualad]] (voiced by [[Khary Payton]]), [[Conner Kent|Superboy]], and [[Miss Martian]] of the ''[[Young Justice (TV series)|Young Justice]]'' team appear.
 
Much like the DC Animated Universe (as well as ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'' and ''[[Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends]]''), the series has affected the comics that initially inspired it, including: Beast Boy adopting the series' purple and black outfit during DC's "[[52 (comics)|52]]" storyline and later appearing with the pointed ears and fanged teeth originated by the series,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://i.newsarama.com/preview_images/dcnew/oct09/4/tt_cv76_solicit.jpg |title=Preview image - ''Teen Titans'' 76 |date=October 2009 |publisher=Newsarama.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723183838/http://i.newsarama.com/preview_images/dcnew/oct09/4/tt_cv76_solicit.jpg |archive-date=July 23, 2011}}</ref> future Cyborg having the same armor pattern of his animated counterpart in the ''[[Titans Tomorrow]]'' storyline,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/3664/174767-87954-titans-east_super.jpg |title=Titans East |publisher=Comicvine.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111005223814/http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/3664/174767-87954-titans-east_super.jpg |archive-date=October 5, 2011}}</ref> Raven adapting her animated counterpart's costume design in the "[[One Year Later]]" storyline, the characters Más y Menos making appearances in ''52'' and the ''[[Final Crisis]]'' limited series,<ref>''Final Crisis'' #1.

==Reception==
Early into the series' run, Executive Producer and [[Cartoon Network]] and [[Warner Bros. Animation]] Vice President Sam Register responded to criticism regarding the style of the show with a statement slightly contradicting Murakami's statement about wanting Robin to "be cool" with his metal-tipped boots:
{{blockquote|''[[Justice League (TV series)|Justice League]]'' is awesome and ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' is awesome and we buy a lot of anime shows that are great, but those shows really are directed more towards the nine to fourteen age group, and the six and seven and eight-year-olds were not gelling with the ''Justice League'' and some of the more of the fanboy shows... The main mission was making a good superhero show for kids. Now if the fanboys happen to like the ''Teen Titans'' also, that's great, but that was not our mission.|Sam Register, ''CBR News'' interview, May 8, 2004}}
 
However, while the series' creators initially stated that younger children were the intended audience for the series, ''[[Teen Titans Go! (2004 comic series)|Teen Titans Go!]]'' writer [[J. Torres]] notes that the progression and deeper themes of the show widened the appeal to a much broader audience:
{{blockquote|... [The show] started out skewed a lot younger... but along the way, I think the producers discovered it was reaching a wider audience. ... [the show] got into some darker story lines, and they introduced a lot more characters, so they expanded on it, and they let the show evolve with the audience.|2=J.

{{main|Teen Titans Go! (2004 comic series)}}
From 2004 to 2008, [[DC Comics]] published a [[comic book]] [[Ongoing series|series]] based on ''Teen Titans'' called ''[[Teen Titans Go! (2004 comic series)|Teen Titans Go!]]''. The series was written by [[J. Torres]] and [[Todd Nauck]], [[Larry Tucker (screenwriter)|Larry Stucker]] was the regular illustrator. While the comic's stories stand independently, its issues were done so as not to contradict events established in the animated series' episodes. Often, ''Teen Titans Go!'' also referenced episodes of the show, as well as expanding on parts of the series.
 
In July 2024, [[DC Comics]] published a comic book series named ''Primer: Clashing Colors'' that features this iteration of the Teen Titans. It is written by Thomas Krajewski and Jennifer Muro, illustrated by Gretel Lusky. The comic focuses on Ashley Rayburn putting her powers to the test in order to be put on the team with the rest of the main cast.

[[Bandai]] released a line of action figures based on the ''Teen Titans'' animated series. The line included 1.5 inch "Comic Book Hero" mini figures, 3.5 inch action figures (including "Teen Titans Launch Tower Playset", "Teen Titans Command Center", "Battling Machines", "T-Vehicles", "T-Sub Deluxe Vehicles"), 5 inch action figures, 6.5 inch plush Super-D Toys, and 10 inch figures. Amongst the characters included in the line were the main members of the Teen Titans, Titans East, and various allies and villains.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.titanstower.com/source/animated/00indexanimated.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120717060141/http://titanstower.com/source/animated/00indexanimated.html |archive-date=2012-07-17 |title=Teen Titans Merchandise|access-date=December 26, 2011|publisher=Titans Tower}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Toys & Games|url=http://www.titansgo.net/toys.php|website=titansgo.net|access-date=3 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111115000906/http://www.titansgo.net/toys.php|archive-date=November 15, 2011}}</ref>
 
===Video games===

Playable characters featured the main cast, Robin, Raven, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Cyborg. A [[Teen Titans (2006 video game)|console version of the game]] and a sequel titled ''Teen Titans 2'' was released in 2006.
 
==Films==
''[[Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans]]'', released on July 21, 2019, features the main cast of ''Teen Titans'' along with the one of ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'' in a crossover where both versions must fight villains from their respective worlds.
