Teen Titans, is it any good?

I've seen it advertised, but never seen it, is it any good, like as good as Justice League?

I get a kick out of it, personally

It's entertaining. But it's not as good as Justice League.

That's not to say it isn't good though.

It's a bit childish, and the Japanese-style SD transformations and facefauls are over the top, but it's okay for light-hearted fun.

It's much more light hearted approach, but it's not bad. Out of the two I enjoy it a bit more then JL since they have a more coherent story arc through the series instead of a bunch of sub plots with no main arc.

It's unfair to slap Teen Titans against Justice League. JL is an epic story about the world's greatest superheros, with long running plots and recurring things, and is general very well done, dramatically, while still having spots for humour.

TT, on the other hand, is downright slapstick at times, and very much a story of fun. It doesn't take itself seriously, and does well because of that.

Hey, isn't Static Shock supposed to show up on Teen Titans at some point? I bet he and Cy would get along pretty well. Gear too.

I wouldn't be suprises since he is a DC character, on WB, and a teenager.

They've hinted that they'll crossover Static Shock with the TT eventually. In an episode of SS, Static bumps into Batman, and at some point asks him where Robin is. Batman answers that he's with the titans and Static will probably meet them sooner or later.

Is that the same episode where Batman goes up against SS's group of villains, but led by Joker?

Cute ending though, Joker tries to get away, but the vehicle he's in stalls out (SS zaps electrical systems). He looks in the mirror, and sees Batman approaching. Joker finally manages to get out, and falls to the floor. He offers a hand, asking Batman to be a pal and help him up. After the Joker gets a hand in his, he lets loose with one of his hand zappers (electrical).

After several seconds, Joker looks up, and realizes that it was SS's hand he was holidng (electricity does squat to him). SS says, "That was fun. Now it's my turn."

ZAP

After Joker finishes twitching for a while, he says, "I give up."

Cute surprise (Joker couldn't see SS in the mirror, and assumed it was Batman there).

No, he's talking about the second crossover with Batman, when Static's trying to help a metahuman girl who's freaked out about her powers and has been promised a cure by Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn (who are, naturally, lying through their teeth) in exchange for her help in a big gold heist in Gotham.

Said show was also the episode where Bats finds out Static's real name (in a way rather embarrassing to Static, good thing Bats found it and not someone else), and the ending very heavily hints to Static realizing Bats is Bruce Wayne.

I think there was a SS/JL crossover already. I would like to see Static Shock on the TT. I would hope that TT drops the anime stuff since it takes away from the story.

I like the series, although the Anime-clowning gets *WAAAAY* over the top, sometimes to the point where annoys me. Still, for the first season, I'd give it a 3 out of 5 overall.

However, the Second Season starts this coming Friday, so we'll see if they've toned the silliness down a bit.

However, when they do cross over to StaticShock, I would perfer Static's animators to handle it, as TeenTitans does have a more cartoony look than SS or Justice League.

Slade is the Shiznat.

Though the real Slade from the comics would be even cooler. He was a super-brilliant merc, quite the equal of Batman himself, who had some odd mental hangups and a wierd code of honor. Later on, he was seen doing things like running illegal but medically useful drugs, like unnapproved AIDS treatments and so forth.

Now that would be fun. The TT hit a shipment from Slade and then have to try and figure out exactly what to do with the stuff.
