How many types of 'teen titans' are there????

Question

I saw a cartoon on TV that's called Teen Titans, i tried searching it on google but something totally different came out!!! They look like some kind of comic... So, exactly how many different versions of 'teen titans' are there???

Answer 1

teen titans are from comic books, DC comics to be exact... The cartoon is a Japanese anime style, that is why Robin looks so much different than when he is tagging along with Batman in the comics or other cartoons. If you want more on the anime styled ones you can go to the cartoon network web page.... I think it is www.cartoonnetwork.com they have all the info (and merchandise) you could want.

Answer 2

The Teen Titans were/are a DC comics publication that originally featured the youthful sidekicks of adult superheroes, and other youthful superheroes. There is a wikipedia article on them. See below for an early cover.

Answer 3

In the TV series I think there are Robin, Raven, beast boy, Starfire, I don't know what the mechanical guy's name is and I caught a show my son was watching that had a girl named Tara on it who could move the earth and a boy who could "flame on". Am I missing someone? Just thought I would try it.

Answer 7

The Teen Titans, also known as simply The Titans, is a DC Comics superhero team that first appeared in The Brave and the Bold #54 (July 1964).

As the group's name suggests, its membership is usually composed of teenaged superheroes. In its early adventures, the team is a junior Justice League of sorts, featuring Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad, the sidekicks of Leaguers Batman, The Flash, and Aquaman, respectively. The team has branched out to include Wonder Woman's protégé Wonder Girl and characters not connected with adult heroes, notably Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven.

While very well received in its original 1960s run, The Teen Titans comics reached new heights of popularity in the 1980s when writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Pérez began work on the series The New Teen Titans. Since then, the concept has fluctuated in terms of success as creative teams have come and gone. The Teen Titans franchise attained a higher profile through animation twice since its inception, once in 1967 and again in 2003.

A few years after its cancellation, the series resumed with issue #44 (November 1976) but struggled to find focus, moving through a number of storylines in rapid succession. Notable among these are stories involving the mysterious Joker's Daughter[7], the Bumblebee and Teen Titans West, a team consisting of a number of other teen heroes including Bat-Girl (Betty Kane) and Golden Eagle. The revival was short-lived, and the series was canceled as of #53 (February 1978). Tellingly, in the last issue the heroes realized that, now in their early 20s, they had simply outgrown the "Teen" Titans. In the last panel, without speaking, they sadly go their separate ways.

(Note: After Crisis on Infinite Earths, Bumblebee and Mal Duncan/Herald were said to have been a part of the Titans West at some point, and the character of Bat-Girl was replaced with Flamebird (Bette Kane). Mal Duncan has two separate heroic identities during this run; first as the Guardian and later as the Hornblower. After Crisis on Infinite Earths, those identities were retconned away, and he was established as having always been the Herald.)


DC Comics Presents #26 introduces a team of new Titans, anchored by founding members Robin, Wonder Girl, and Kid Flash, soon followed by The New Teen Titans #1 (November 1980). It re-introduces the Doom Patrol's Beast Boy as Changeling and introduces the machine man Cyborg, the alien Starfire, and the dark empath Raven. Raven, an expert manipulator, forms the group to fight her demonic father Trigon, and the team remains together thereafter as a group of young adult heroes.

The villains' motivations are often complex, following trends that were coming to a head at that time towards greater depth in comics , particularly in the case of Deathstroke the Terminator, a mercenary who takes a contract to kill the Titans, in order to fulfill a job his son is unable to complete. This leads to the Titans' most complex adventure, in which a psychopathic girl named Terra infiltrates the Titans in order to destroy them. This story also features Dick Grayson, the original Robin, adopting the identity of Nightwing and the introduction of a new member in Jericho, the son of Deathstroke. New Teen Titans also regularly features the Monitor as a background character.

Other notable New Teen Titans stories include "A Day in the Life...", featured a day in the team members’ personal lives. "Who is Donna Troy?" depicts Robin investigating Wonder Girl's true identity (#38), and "We are Gathered Here Today..." tells the story of Wonder Girl's wedding, noteworthy for being the rare superhero wedding in which a fight didn't break out (#50).

Tales of the New Teen Titans, a four-part limited series by Wolfman and Perez, was published in 1982, detailing the back stories of Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, and Changeling.

New Teen Titans and the Uncanny X-Men
The brainchild of writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Pérez, New Teen Titans is widely thought of as DC's answer to the increasingly popular Uncanny X-Men from Marvel Comics: Both series depict young heroes from disparate backgrounds whose internal conflicts are as integral to the series as is their combat against villains. Both books were instrumental in moving mainstream comics in a more character-driven direction.[citation needed] New Teen Titans also uses long story arcs, and the characters are sometimes involved in galactic and interdimensional conflicts. Much as Uncanny X-Men made a star out of artist John Byrne, The New Teen Titans did the same for Pérez.[citation needed] The two teams actually met in the 1982 crossover one-shot entitled "Apokolips...Now".

A second series
New Teen Titans fans experienced some title and numbering confusion when DC moved some of its more popular books from the newsstand to the direct distribution market (comic book specialty stores) in 1984. New Teen Titans became Tales of the Teen Titans for a year (not to be confused with the earlier limited series), while a new concurrently published series named The New Teen Titans launched with a new #1. The former book began reprinting the latter's stories for the newsstand a year later, and ran until issue #91, but the direct market series printed only new stories.

Issue #1 of the direct market New Teen Titans created controversy when Dick Grayson and Starfire were depicted in bed together, although it had been established for some time that they were a monogamous couple. Pérez left the series after New Teen Titans vol. 2, #5, and the series began to flounder as Marv Wolfman reportedly suffered from writer's block[citation needed], and other writers contributed from time to time. José Luis Garcia Lopez followed Pérez as artist, and Eduardo Barreto contributed a lengthy run. Pérez returned with issue #50, the series again being renamed, this time to The New Titans: the characters were no longer teenagers. Issue #50 tells a new origin story for Wonder Girl, her link to Wonder Woman having been severed due to retcons in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Pérez remained through issue #61.

The series introduced a number of characters and puts others through radical changes during the next 7 years. Members during this time include Phantasm[8], Pantha[9], Red Star[10], Impulse[11] (later Kid Flash), Damage[12], Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner)[13], Supergirl[14], Rose Wilson[15], Minion[16] and Baby Wildebeest. As a result, the group which appears in the final issue, #130 (February 1996), bears little resemblance to the one that anchored DC's line-up in the early 1980s.

Team Titans is another Titans spin-off. The series ran from 1992 to 1994 in 28 issues and two annuals. One of only several Teams Titans from the future, they function as a terrorist cell fighting against a world dictator, Lord Chaos, the son of Donna Troy and Robert Long. Sent ten years into the past, their mission is to kill Donna Troy and prevent his birth. Killowat, Redwing, Dagon, Prestor Jon and Battalion are all erased from existence during the 1994 Zero Hour storyline, and the series was cancelled. Mirage, Terra, and Deathwing survive; it is established that they are from the current timeline after all. Mirage and Terra join the main Titans team, and Deathwing is enthralled by an evil aspect of Raven and turned against the Titans.

A new Teen Titans series written by Dan Jurgens began later that year with a new #1 issue (October 1996). Atom, who had become a teenager following the events of Zero Hour, leads the brand-new team, with Arsenal becoming a mentor about halfway through the 24-issue run, which ended in September 1998.

The team is revived in a 3-issue limited series, JLA/Titans: The Technis Imperative, featuring nearly every character who had been a Titan and showcasing the return of Cyborg. This limited series leads into The Titans written by Devin Grayson, starting with Titans Secret Files #1 (March 1999).

This incarnation of the team consists of a mix of former original Titans, including Nightwing, Troia, Arsenal, Tempest, and the Flash (Wally West), from the original team; Starfire, Cyborg, and Changeling, from the New Teen Titans; Damage from the New Titans (the 1994 series); and Argent from the Teen Titans (the 1996 series). There was one new member, Jesse Quick. This version of the team lasted until issue #50 (2002).

The West Coast branch of the team - Titans L.A. - appears once, in the pages of Titans Secret Files #2.

Between the end of Teen Titans and the beginning The Titans, the next generation of young heroes - Superboy, Robin, Impulse, Wonder Girl, Secret and Arrowette - formed their own team in Young Justice, a series similar to the original Teen Titans.

Both series were concluded with the three-issue limited series Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day, which lead into new Teen Titans and Outsiders series.


Writer Geoff Johns’ Teen Titans series began in 2003, again featuring a mix of previous and new members, most of whom had been part of Young Justice.

The series’ original lineup mirrors and also inverts the lineup of Marv Wolfman's New Teen Titans series: veteran members Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy return, joined by younger heroes Robin, Superboy, Wonder Girl and Kid Flash. Raven re-joins the team in issue #12, and the new Speedy joins the team in Green Arrow #46, first appearing in the Titans book in issue #21. During the “Insiders” crossover with The Outsiders (issues #24–25), Superboy comes under Lex Luthor's control and attacks the team, afterwards taking a leave of absence that ends during Infinite Crisis.

The new series saw the team’s relocation from the east to the west coast, its headquarters located in San Francisco instead of the traditional New York City location. The new Titans Tower also has a memorial hall with statues of the fallen Titans.

In the "One Year Later" jump after Infinite Crisis, Robin has returned to the Teen Titans after a year of travel with Batman and Nightwing. Feeling abandoned by Robin following the death of Superboy, Wonder Girl has quit the team and has been working alone, fighting the Brotherhood of Evil. Starfire is missing in action, never having returned from her journey into space. Raven and Beast Boy have split up: Raven's whereabouts are unknown, though she is rumored to be in Russia; and Beast Boy has left the Titans to join the new Doom Patrol. Joining him in the Doom Patrol are former Titans Bumblebee and Herald (renamed Vox). Speedy is said to be currently on an island with Connor Hawke. Kid Flash, who had aged into adulthood and lost his powers, is "kind of retired", according to Robin; however, he has now become the DCU's new Flash. Cyborg has been damaged and inactive since his return from space, but 16-year-old genius fraternal twins Wendy and Marvin, have repaired him and given him new capabilities. New members include Kid Devil and Rose Wilson (as Ravager IV), the latter of who was accepted at the request of Nightwing.

During the lost year, at least 24[17] new members joined the team, all of them short-term. Without proper leadership or the feeling of family the Titans normally provides, none of the new members could get along and work together. In issue #38, the Titans found a scrapbook left behind by Raven that included photos of the OYL members, which consisted of both new and old team members.

A memorial to Superboy has been erected outside Titans Tower. Unknown to the other Titans, Robin secretly has been attempting to re-clone Superboy, with nearly 100 failed attempts. This was until Wonder Girl found the lab, where she and Robin shared an awkward kiss.

At the end of Teen Titans vol. 3, #40 the team was composed of Robin, Kid Devil, Ravager, Raven, Wonder Girl, Cyborg, the resurrected Jericho and a character new to OYL called Miss Martian.

At the end of Teen Titans vol. 3, #41, Robin tells Wonder Girl that he believes Raven can bring Superboy back to life, just like she did with Jericho.

Spoiler warning: Promotional information about upcoming comic book storylines follows. Details and publication status are subject to change.

There are also two active teams of Titans. The main Teen Titans team is still located on the west coast and Titans East is on the east coast. Geoff Johns referred to Titans East as juvenile delinquents who will be causing trouble, and described one character as who he believes was the first white trash superhero (Risk). The other members are Deathstroke, Sun Girl, Batgirl, Kid Crusader, Match, Inertia and Enigma.[18]

Their was an animated series based on the long running comic, Teen Titans is based on the DC Comics superhero team, the Teen Titans, primarily the stories told in the early-80s The New Teen Titans comic book series by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez. The series revolves around main team members Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven. While it is an action cartoon, the series is also character-driven, with a focus on the main characters’ struggles with being teen-aged superheroes, their mutual friendships, and their limitations.[1]

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, appear throughout the series. Unlike the comics, Jinx reforms and becomes a member of the Teen Titans. This is especially true in the final season which introduces many Titans from the comics into film for the first time as well as the Doom Patrol heroes and villains.

The team resides in a giant T-shaped Tower that is part high-tech command center, part dormitory, and part ultimate teen hangout. The Titans are based in a unnamed West-coast city, referred to as "Jump City" in the "Teen Titans GO!" spin-off comics.

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 Japanese, sung by the J-Pop duo Puffy (called "Puffy AmiYumi" in the United States to distinguish it from Sean Combs).

In mid-November of 2005, TitansTower.com first reported the news that the prospects of 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, the word came that Cartoon Network had officially declined to order further episodes.[2] 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.[3] His story was contradicted by series story editor Rob Hoegee who stated that the decision not to renew the series came from Cartoon Network, not WB, being that the fact was that there were never any plans for a sixth season.[4] Reports of layoffs at the WB studios in late 2005 were also speculated to be a factor in the show's cancellation.[5]

After the series's cancellation, Warner Bros. Animation announced a feature called Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo. The film premiered at San Diego Comic-Con and was shown on Cartoon Network first on 15 September, 2006. The DVD is scheduled to be released on February 6th, 2007.[6]
