Summary
Teen Titans was a half-hour animated television airing on the Cartoon Network from July of 2003 until January of 2006. The series was loosely based on the original Marv Wolfman & George Pérez run on New Teen Titans, but aimed at a younger target audience. The series blended traditional American animation with Eastern influences making it a unique and often underappreciated addition to the Warner Bros. DC Heroes line-up. The Teen Titans series was inclusive to its own continuity, and did not seem to explicitly share the same reality as other programs such as, Justice League Unlimited, Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series and Static Shock. But there were a few minor hints to them all existing in the same reality. In September of 2006, Cartoon Network aired the first Teen Titans animated movie entitled, Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo. Ever since the cancellation of Teen Titans in November 2005, fans of the show have started an online campaign to try and bring the show back for a sixth season.
Theme Song
The theme song for the Teen Titans animated series was written and composed by Japanese performers Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura. Onuki and Yoshimura are famous within Japanese anime circles and the track "Teen Titans Go!" was released on their 2003 album NICE. The song has been released both in its original Japanese as well as an English translation, both of which have been featured on alternating episodes of the Teen Titans.
Lyrics
- When there's trouble you know who to call
- Teen Titans!
- From their tower, they can see it all
- Teen Titans!
- When there's evil on the attack
- You can rest knowing they got your back
- Cuz when the world needs heroes on patrol
- Teen Titans go!
- With their superpowers they unite
- Teen Titans!
- Never met a villain that they liked
- Teen Titans!
- They've got the bad guys on the run
- They never stop ‘till the job gets done
- Cuz when the world is losin' all control
- Teen Titans go!
- Teen Titans go!
- If your heart is black you better watch out
- You cannot escape the team
- When they catch you there won't be any doubt
- You've been beaten by the teens
- beaten by the teens
- T-E-E-N! T-I-T-A-N-S! TEEN TITANS! LET'S GO!
- T-E-E-N! T-I-T-A-N-S! TEEN TITANS! LET'S GO!
- T-E-E-N! T-I-T-A-N-S! TEEN TITANS! LET'S GO!
- T-E-E-N! T-I-T-A-N-S! TEEN TITANS! LET'S GO!
- [repeat]
- Teen Titans go!
- Teen Titans go!
- One, two, three, four, go!
- Teen Titans!

Notes
- It was never confirmed whether Robin was Dick Grayson or Tim Drake. Aside from the similarities in costume, there is nothing to connect the animated version of Robin with Tim Drake. However, as the series was patterned after the Marv Wolfman/George Pérez era of publication, there is strong evidence to support the notion that Robin is in fact Dick Grayson. Also, when Larry appeared, his name was Dick Greyson spelled backwords.
- The Second and Fourth Seasons of the show, were based on 2 plots that were in the original Teen Titans Comics. "Judas Contract" was what Season 2 was based on and Season 4 was based on the "Terror of Trigon".
