Teen Titans go is cute, but nothing compared to the original

Teen Titans was what superhero shows should be.
The nearly two-minute preview wastes no time establishing that this will not be the Teen Titans you know, via a dark look, an ominous tone, and a depiction of Robin as a sword-wielding, baddie-slaying, bone-splitting badass. And as for his mentor, Batman? Throw in some F-bombs. Slit some throats.
The original Teen Titans comic wasn't even targeted at teenagers. Photo: DC Comics. The movie is based on a cartoon, Teen Titans Go! Even more confusing, multiple TV properties have been based on the Titans, all with a different premise. That was when editor George Kashdan had the bright idea to team up the sidekicks of several DC Comics superheroes. Evidently it sold well enough for a sequel six issues later — one in which the trio gained a formal name, Teen Titans, and a new member, Wonder Girl.
