Hot on the heels of the JLA animated series, come the kid version.
Comics2Film:
"Cartoon Network and Kids’ WB! will follow a new young breed of superheroes as famed Boy Wonder Robin leads fellow young teens Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire and Raven in the all-new high-adventure series Teen Titans. Slated to debut on Cartoon Network in 2003, followed by broadcast on Kids’ WB!, this half-hour animated action series is being produced by Warner Bros. Animation under the guidance of Emmy Award-winner Glen Murakami. Teen Titans is based on the popular DC Comics comic book characters. Teen Titans, set in a future of intergalactic strife and interplanetary battles, features five teen superheroes each with special powers, led by the Boy Wonder Robin. This group unites to form a defensive force to protect the Earth from a new generation of villains. An eclectic group, their powers complement each other so that when they band together, they become a superb fighting force. Their personalities, on the other hand, often clash. Discovering how to control their powers, these Teen Titans must learn to work and grow as a team while dealing with the trials and tribulations of being teenagers."
I think it sounds great. Especially since everybody on JLA is so stuffy and serious (except for the Flash). This crew looks like total fun, especially Beast Boy (which I always thought was a much better name than Changeling). Starfire's out of control sexy costume is suitably toned down to only Britney level public nudity, which is probably a good move. Cyborg looks... complicated. And I'm guessing that's not Dick Grayson in the Robin tights.
I wonder how they're going to handle Raven, the sorcerous daughter of a witch and the devil (more or less). |
