TITANS COMPANION
(Dec 2005)
|
|
• Teen Titans: The Complete First Season ($20) is a lively, and at times over-the-top, series featuring some of DC's youngest superheroes. The team, led by Robin the Boy Wonder, fights assorted supervillains including the nefarious Slade (whose comic-book name, Deathstroke the Terminator, proved a bit too edgy for a children's cartoon). The animation is heavily influenced by Japanese anime, down to the ridiculously catchy theme song by pop duo Puffy AmiYumi.
The comic-book incarnations of the Teen Titans are also featured in The Titans Companion, a new book from TwoMorrows Publishing in Raleigh.
Over the course of 222 pages, the Companion ($24.95) examines the history of the team, which started in the 1960s as a way to gather the youthful sidekicks of other superheroes. Robin was there, as were Kid Flash, Speedy (the sidekick of the Robin Hood-like Green Arrow) and Aqualad. Oh, and there was also Wonder Girl, who was actually the teen version of Wonder Woman, not a sidekick (continuity was a bit lax in those days, and Wonder Girl's origin was reinvented many times over the years).
The Companion goes all the way back to 1965. But the book focuses much of its attention on the past 25 years of Teen Titans, particularly the era in which writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Perez created some of the most compelling, character-driven stories in comics history.
They mixed old characters with new ones, creating a lineup so iconic that, more than 20 years later, the Teen Titans cartoon series would be based almost entirely on their early work together.
Companion author Glen Cadigan interviews Wolfman, Perez and many other comics creators who have had a hand in weaving the saga of the Titans.
One particularly intriguing aspect of the book is the look at how different teams have to build on - or deconstruct - the work of previous teams in an attempt to tell fresh new stories of characters whose continuities have been so thoroughly written and rewritten over the years.
The book is heavily illustrated (in black and white), including plenty of rare drawings from the private libraries of comic collectors.

Teen Titans First Season Release Announced
Mondo Media, Scoop, Friday, November 18, 2005
When they debuted on the Cartoon Network, no one could have predicted that the Teen Titans would have become one of the Network's biggest hits. Within weeks, kids who had never heard of the Titans before were chanting the catchy theme and choosing their favorite Titan.
The thirteen episodes that comprise season one are scheduled to hit the stores on February 7, 2006. Some of you may have these episodes already. The first six of the season were released back in September of 2004 and the remaining seven came out in April of this year. At press time, we do not have word of any extras. However we do know that there will be a chance to get a bonus DVD. It will be a Free DC Comics catalog DVD and the only thing you will have to pay is shipping.
It looks like another successful marriage of comics and television. This is a courtship that goes back to the earliest days of television. It is generally accepted Felix the Cat was literally the first figure to appear on a television screen. Goodness knows how the fifties would have gone by without Superman. For that matter, what would the sixties have been without Batman? What would the seventies have looked like without Wonder Woman? How about the Flash show of the eighties? Comics and TV just make sense.

"I knew I wanted to do something with them, so we did some development for what I thought would be an Adult Swim series," continued Register. "We went in that direction and, while we were doing the Puffy pilot, we were working on the Teen Titans show. The Teen Titans were so anime influenced, when the time came I encouraged Glen Murakami to listen to the band, told him about the pilot and how that might not happen, but thought we should get the girls to do the Teen Titans theme song. He was all into it, so we went ahead and had them do the song."
Register explained, "We have a lot of things in development and many will never be made into series - it's like many will enter, few will win. We only put two or three new shows out a year, so obviously everything in development is like playing the Lotto. Puffy at that point was on the fence. I thought it wouldn't happen. They did such a great job on the song for the Teen Titans. It came out and it was so addictive. It really helped that so many people were singing the theme songs, it was one of the great things about the Teen Titans cartoon. It was like bringing back a Brady Bunch type theme song. Everyone loved it and it really pushed Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi show that much closer to getting greenlit. We did a pilot on the Teen Titans DVD now and the rest is 26 episodes history."

TEEN TITANS ANIMATED SERIES SEASON 1
(July 2003)

I’m jumping the shark. Okay, so I’m not really going to get on skis in a leather jacket, and I’m already rethinking the use of that woefully beaten-to-death phrase. Actually, I guess you could say that I’m “straying from the mission statement.” A bit. Last time, I was able to justify covering The O.C. because of the comic references and a set DVD release date. So how do I explain myself now? Just like a high school kid who drags in from a party smelling like a brewery, I’d better have a pretty good reason.
And I do. This week’s topic, Teen Titans has its first DVD in the works, and hails from a line of several animated appearances. And there’s the whole thing about Jen asking me to cover Teen Titans. Therefore, in the name of Contino, I cover a DVD that hasn’t even come out yet. Tolerate, won’t you?

Then, in 1980, the Marv Wolfman and George Perez run of The New Teen Titans began. DC found themselves with a mega-hit that’s still fondly remembered as one of the bright lights of the comic form. The line-up proved so popular that Cyborg was even added to the final season of Super Friends (and even granted an action figure) in 1985. Dubbed The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians, it was the last season of that long-running show.
