Teen Titans Cancelled
 

What I suspected for months has apparently come to passs, Teen Titans may wrap up with its' fifth seson.


As many of you've probably heard from Animation Insider, the show's chances of getting renewed for a 6th season are dismal. Fans are being urged to send letters to express their support.

Mailing hand-written letters to Cartoon Network stating your concerns about the show being cancelled may go a very long way to changing their minds. Therefore, we urge any and all Teen Titans fans to further the cause and send their thoughts to Cartoon Network, as well as getting the word out to anyone you know. Don't let the best show on CN end before its time.

As for why the show is getting cancelled, we can only hazard a guess. AWN reported awhile ago of a massive layoff among the Warner Bros divisions which may've delayed a season pickup. TitansGo.net has also heard from production sources that Cartoon Network simply has little interest in keeping the series. The reason may be more than most know, and sadly, production crews tend to be last to know about their shows being renewed. We will keep you updated on the situation as we find out more, as well as further ways fans can help.

...Meh, they should have ended afte the fourth, there a carbon copy of JLU now, besides, petitions are always the first signs of denial.

By the way, its' now been confirmed that due to the fandoms' valiant influence, Beast Boy and Raven are becoming an in-canon couple in the DC universe.

I could care less about teen titans now that they are not allowed to use batman or robin in justic league and the JLU was cancelled as well.

I only seen one episode and that was the episode where Starbright had a pet name Silky.

You know what the one persistently annoying thing about you is? You judge on one episode, seriously, who the heck do you think you are? Titans' second and fourth seasons were tremendously dark, almost if not darker than JLU.

This is'nt for you whiny little anti-Titans fans who come up with the most retarded means of hating on a series, this is for the fans of the cartoon. Scram.

Ya know, I was JUST starting to like the show, too.

When it started it was very very annoying, but the show gradually matured and really became worth watching. The Doom Patrol arc was fantastic!

And now it's getting cancelled.:ohwell: Ah well, at least it'll be going out on a strong-note. This has been a good season and I absolutely can't wait for "Lightspeed", the Kid Flash episode (I haven't missed it, have I?).

:o NUUUU!!!! *Cries* I've watched the series from the very first episode!

:cry: Now how will I get my fill of Beastboy's hillarious moments?!? :cry:

Not to rain on anyones parade but I'm kinda glad it's ending. It's so whore'd out around where I live that it's sickening. I can't turn a corner at my school without seeing a Teen Titan backpack or something else stupid. Almost as bad as Invader Zim....

Supposedly, the same producers and writers are now working on Legion of Super Heroes, but due to these suppposed "lay offs", I doubt it'll match up unless they haul it over completly to Japan

I'm not suprised or that disappointed, this current season has been really bad.

Yeah, I'm not bothered either, five seasons is enough and a sixth may just prove that, they've played their "Trigon card" and now the series has no direction, I think some Titans fans may have to accept that Ravens' arc was carrying it by the conclusion, Robin even got his best development since season one.

The only logical thing left was to put Slade with the brotherhood, but hes' nowhere to be found, and hence the usual "a season without Slade sucks" theory comes into play again, they blew it with Starfire if you recall by wasting "Bethroned", a comic classic that split her and Dic up, into a pointless filler and the producers vowed never to give her a season of her own, which only limited the scope of Titans to Earth for the long haul

At least it got more of a chance than X-Men: Evolution did, and that was'nt going to suck anytime soon given how they were going, Titans however were.

I guess it really is "Titans Go!"....

okay, I know that was mean. Sorry.

I hated it.

Are they still going to show the reruns?

The last few seasons may have been dark, and Redstar was badass, but it will never be as dark as the whole Kid Flash, Slade RPG a while back with the rest of the crew....

A bullet for every Titan.

This does bite a big one, the show was really starting to get good. oh well. atleast we have "The Batman" which is starting to get good.

...It IS?

Batgirl killed it and reduced it to a cheap ass show again...give me plenty of JLU anyday

I thought the show was good for what it was. It had its whacky Jap moments, but at least it had a good storyline to follow.

Zarius... stop shooting other people down if they like certain shows... You bashed somebody for bashing Teen Titans (although the guy was rude), and now you're bashing somebody for liking a show you don't like?

Chill...

As for Teen Titans... I'm somewhat disappointed that its cancelled. It had its cool moments such as the Season 1 and 2 finale arc. (Apprentice and Aftershocks weren't they called?) I haven't seen much of the season three episodes though except the one where Slade comes back and harrases Raven. That was pretty cool.

Although I have to admit that the excessive amount of anime-pandering (facial expressions and such) annoyed me and made it even more kiddy than it needed to be.

That's just like saying you don't want a gamecube cause it's too kiddy.

Those facial expressions were probably what turned me off most. I mean, so many good, emotional moments were ruined by scenes where the background goes bonkers and somebody's head inflates, most of those scenes include Beastboy.

And I talked to Doom about this, but I sort of want to say it again. I sort of liked the show. It was better than most crap we get on TV here and it was fun. I just see so much more potential, especially since Geoff Johns is making so much out of the characters in the current comics. They sometimes seem like pale shadows of their comic book counterparts in the series. Sure, there were moments where they lived up to their comic books alter egos, but characters like Beastboy (a real idiot in the series) and Starfire (What the hell is wrong with her? All that funny talking and the seemingly druginduced omnipresent joy) took a lot from it. And Cyborg isn't exactly happy-go-lucky either. But Robin was adapted pretty well. Of course they made him too funny, but other than that, I felt it fit.

Anyways, it's a shame to see the series go.

It's not gone yet. It's very popular.

I'm a big fan of constrast like that, which could go on to explain why I love this show so much. I for one appreciate when some crazy **** like that happens at a serious moment if it's executed well. But that's just me.

Yeah, that's what made me loathe the show at first. "Haunted" is the finest example of how the pandering to otaku kids nearly ruins a dark, serious, engaging story.

I really couldn't watch the show for the first few seasons, and I wasn't a big fan of how they watered down the Judas Contract.

But lately, the series has REALLY matured. The Doom Patrol arc won me over; I think they finally found balance between serious moments and goofy moments.

I ENJOY the goofy moments when it's done in a comic-relief episode. The episode where they go inside Mumbo's magic hat stands as one of my favorites. Tom Kinny gives one of the best performances of his career in that episode, too. Then the Control Freak episode with all the TV parodies is another good episode.

When they keep the goofy anime sh1t to the comedy relief episodes and keep the serious episodes...serious, that's when the show's at it's best. And, thankfully, that's what they've been doing lately.

When watching reruns of the first few seasons, I just change the channel whenever they go into "anime-mode" and then change it back after a few seconds. Makes the episodes much more tolerable.

And, despite all the changes to the character, their version of Deathstroke his truely awesome. Thanks in no small part to a fantastic voice-over by Ron Pearlman.

I love Justice League/JLU and TT..... but truth be told look at JLU noticed how the vllians of Bats are gone? THats cause of the Batman bEgins movie. Plus WB/DC must have movies lined up.

Kid Flash is to appear on TT (voiced by Michael Rosenbaum)-who is also THe Flash on JL/JLU= there is a Flash movie in the works..plus a Wonder Woman movie..= AKA in other words the reason these shows are cancelled or have ended is cause of future projects

Actually, it's The Batman tv series that's the cause of the "Bat-Embargo", not the Batman Begins movie so far as I know.

And I didn't know Rosenbaum would be voicing Kid Flash in TT. That's an awesome nod of continuity. Well...even if it sorta contradicts Flash's memory of his origin in the first Gorilla Grodd arc of Justice League (unless he was remembering Barry's origin instead of his own).

Yeah, that was one of the things I really liked about the show. I haven't been too keen on the Teen Titans comics I've read -- the darker and more serious a thing is, the more license I have to seriously analyze it, and comic books more often than not fall apart under this scrutiny (whoops, Terra's dead -- JUST KIDDING!!! -- she got whisked away to an alternate reality right before she died :D) -- but I really got into this show. I pretty much liked every character on the show, and the way some of the "lessons" have been communicated have been terribly clever. (I totally dug the Mad Mod eps.) Admittedly, I haven't been as into Season 5, with the supervillain conglomerate deal (led by The Spectacularly Uninteresting Brain -- where's Krang when we need him? -- and Mr. Grodd Wannabe), but I think TT could go on indefinitely. Not that it needs to, but seeing as how I think it's the best kids' show on CN right now I'm kinda sad to see "Teen Titans go!"

Yesh.

I forgot The Batman. Well still WB/DC must have plans..I think there might be a THe Flash:TAS but it might be voiced by someone else. Rosenbaum does Lex in Vancouver. While WB animation studio is in Calif.

Well still if TT is cancelled I wanna here it from WB frst

Rosebaums' apperance is nothing but an in-joke, on the record, Titans is much like The Batman....it has its' own seperate continuity.

The main, flat out reason that you can tell the continuity is different is because in the Batman:TAS/JLU universe, Dick Grayson had already gone on to Bludhaven and became Nightwing. They've made it obvious in several ways that the Robin in the show is Dick Grayson, and it's in a decidedly modern setting, so it can't really be in the past (tho the setting on TAS DID usta be like...50's0ish and they went ahead and changed that.) But most likely, it's a different continuity, and Michael Rosenbaum playing Kid Flash is probably nothing more than a tip of the hat.

I read a post on one of the Toonzone forums once that suggested that TT takes place in the universe of The Batman, given some visual similarities and the apparent reality that the shows share a lot of the same production staff. Anyway, I like the idea of that and was kinda hoping to see a crossover at some point!

Yeah, I know all the Dick Grayson references. Figured that if it MUST take placein the Timm-verse (Timm did work on the show a little) then it would have to take place in the past; sometime between the flashback sequences in "Robin's Reckoning" but before his first appearance in "Christmas with the Joker".

But yeah, I'd just as soon say it's a different continuity all-together. Makes things a lot easier.

All three of the more recent DC toons, The Batman, Teen Titans and Krypto the Superdog have been animated by Dong Woo studios. And save for Krypto, have a similar style. So it wouldn't bug me at all if TT and The Batman were part of the same universe.

Even if they could never ever crossover due to silly Robin and Bat-Embargos.

Aww....I like "Teen Titans" :( Well, it doesn't matter. By the looks of things, they are running out of steam. Best put them down with dignety.... *lays roses on Beastboy's coffin*

yeah, i think so, but thats my opinion.

If you're really into the TT, then there's always the possibility of getting the (way better) comic books. They're really good, but I'd wait for a couple more months until getting them, since there's "Infinite Crisis" at the moment which will most likely screw with continuity and all that.

I watched a few episodes during the beginning, but it really let itself go. I'd expect it's finale sometime around now.

I really don't think Teen Titans is apart of The Batman continuity. The shows aren't done by the same people. Teen Titans is however done by the people who do Justice League Unlimited *I call them Team Timm* I don't consider it a part of DCAU either DCAU being Batman TAS,Superman, Batman Beyond, Justice League/ Unlimited, Static Shock and Zeta Project. many people argue about the Later though I have to consider them apart of DCAU because of the crossovers which are indeed canon i.e. The Zeta Episode in Batman Beyond, Static Shock in the JLU Future episode. Many people hate Batman Beyond and don't consider it part of DCAU continuity either. I think its asinine to not consider Batman Beyound as apart of DCAU because we already have two JLU episodes that have gone to that setting.

Ah yes, Infinite Crisis, or its' alternate title "Lets' kill off silver age b-list heroes amd see if you give a s*it":lol:

But yeah, I suggest picking up the graphic novels the cartoon based some of its' arcs on, in particular the ORIGINAL "Judas Contract", and "Titans Hunt", even Geoffs' present run with the books

I like Teen Titans though I think many episodes are hit or miss, but I like most of them. Episodes I really hate are the episode with the Green Dog and Large Alien, and The Larry episode. I think my favorite episode is "How Long Is Forever", some of the comedy episodes just don't do it for me, but the comedic episode that I really like is "Employee Of The Month" that episode is just hillarious. Now that is going i'm feeling kinda sad because I want to tape those episodes.


As for The Batman. I don't think its as horrible as people make it out to be. I haven't seen it in a while because I have classes on Saturday. It's no Batman TAS but it was fun sometimes. Like Teen Titans the episodes were a hit or miss. The last time I saw it was when The Riddler episode air'd, I liked that one

Am I the only one who sees the multiverse returning?

No actually, everyone knows where this is leading
