Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo

For those unaware sometime this fall (no official release date set) there will be a DVD released called Teen Titans: Trouble In Tokyo. This is a Teen Titans movie said to be the official series finale.

Altho there's no set release date there IS a trailor for it:

Look s*it, the absense of Slade is ridiculous, considering this is the final Titans production (not to mention it's their fracking movie) and they've wasted the oppertunity to adapt the Ravager storyline.

I hope this movie actually ties up loose ends and isn't just "Hey we're in Japan let's fight Godzilla and do Japanese stuff and listen to Puffi Ami Yumi YAY!!"

The trailer wasn't very inspiring. There were so many loose ends left after season 5, I hope they don't waste this opportunity to answer them all.

I doubt it. If there supposed to tie up loose ends, there would be a Slade, and there would be a decent comics adaptation. Like Titan Hunt. Tie Jericho in with Slade, the guy is his son for pete's sake, so much can be done with that character in a movie format. But it seems he will be forever doomed as the du ex machina who saved the Titans in the last two episodes. No Beast Boy and Raven getting together either (even when it is canon at this point, why not give the fans the happy ending?)

It's a pillding shame when Titans goes out with a whimper TWICE in a row now, where as we can expect storylines to be tied up with JLU movies.

More-so than JLU, Teen Titans left so much unanswered when it got cancelled. How did Terra come back? Who was Red X? What's Jericho's relationship to Slade in the cartoon continuity? Will we ever get any closure on Slade? Where the Hell did Wintergreen go after his first appearance?

The only real JLU cliffhanger was Darkseid and Luthor getting the Anti-Life Equation and vanishing. And even then, JLU could still conclude satisfyinly without any movies.

Teen Titans has so much left to work with still.

But yet, I know practically NOTHING about the plot of this movie so hey, they might surprise us.

Yeah, but I certaingly do, and there's nothing in here that'll satisy fans, think "Mystery of The Batwoman" quality here with the plot. That film did'nt expand anything, it was just there. That is precisly what Titans In Tokyo is going to be. Filler.

But find out the hard way, MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Considering I don't have cable, I haven't seen Titans past halfway through season 2 when Kid's WB stopped showing it... just to air that HORRIBLE Loonatics series. They shoulda just made a season 6, THEN ended it. I'm hoping seasons 2-5 come to disk as well... I know there are plans for s2, but I don't know when.

The second season will be available soon, it's worth the price, especially the last few instalments with the Terra arc, though season three is one I would skip, it's only good for "Haunted", "Spellbound", and "The Beast Within", which are the darkest episodes of that season, heck "Haunted" would have been the darkest episode period if it had'nt been for season four

That's my review of the flick. Yeah, pretty much a pointless let-down like "Mystery of the Batwoman".

Ah well.

What a waste of time, thankyou Slack, the best writer on the show gives us that s*it, the quality familiar with the first and fifth season rears it's ugly head again.

What a blatant commercial for the country everyone's had enough of hearing about, the references were completly unfunny, the animation was breathtaking, but that's never been the biggest complaint against the show.

Robin and Starfire's relationship gets the same treatment as Superman and Lois' relationship in "Braniac Attacks", I.E, it covers old ground and fails to find anything new, (they kissed, big deal, it was a fact when they played it subtley in season two) why play it safe? They sacrifice every other member of the team to make Robin the star again, without any reason to because Robin's nemesis is'nt even in the f*cking movie.

"The End" remains single handidly the finest finale Titans ever had

To note about some things mentioned in this thread.

Had read somewhere "Trouble in Tokyo" is scheduled for DVD release Oct. 17th.

And Teen Titans Season 2 DVD Set came out this past Tuesday.

Well, I just wasted my time at Best Buy. Season 2 comes out next week. That gives me the chance to pre-order it though. The bright side is always such a great place to look...

Next week?! Very strange. The release -had- been the 19th for a while, but a few weeks back was pushed up to the 12th (along with The Batman Season 2).

I have both Teen Titans, and The Batman Season 2 Sets (gotten from Best Buy).
