DVD Review
Originally a group of DC's greatest sidekicks, the Teen Titans came into their own with George Perez's renderings in the 1980s. The successful blend of distinct characters, deep interpersonal issues, adolescent angst and strong villains catapulted the book to the top of DC's sales. The cartoon uses the staple characters, including the darkly introspective Raven (Tara Strong), shape-shifter Beast Boy (Greg Cipes), alien princess Starfire (Hynden Walch), jock turned superhero Cyborg (Khary Payton) and the group's leader, the hot-under-the-collar Robin (Scott Menville). Instead of New York, the Titans fight for the safety of a fictional West coast city, set in an alternate 1960s world. Their main nemesis is the mysterious Slade, whose identity is slowly revealed through these first few adventures.
