The Night Begins to Shine

Teen Titans Go!is an Americananimated television seriesdeveloped byAaron HorvathandMichael JelenicforCartoon Network.It premiered on April 23, 2013, and is based onDC Comics' fictional superhero team theTeen Titans.The series was announced following the popularity of DC Nation'sNew Teen Titansshorts.[2]The production companies of the series areDC EntertainmentandWarner Bros. Animation,with the animation outsourced to Canada at Copernicus Studios andBardel Entertainment.[3]

Sporting a different animation style,Teen Titans Go!serves as a comedic standalonespin-offwith little to no continuity to the originalTeen Titansseries (although some references are included as comedicfan service) or any other media in theDC Comicsfranchise. Many DC characters makecameo appearancesand are referenced in the background. The original principal voice cast returns to reprise their respective roles. This series explores what the Titans do when they are hanging out around the tower.

A feature film,Teen Titans Go! To the Movies,was released in theaters on July 27, 2018.

In 2021, Cartoon Network announced aspin-off seriesbased after theNight Begins to Shineepisodes.[4]

Plot

Teen Titans Go!is an animated series that follows the adventures of the youngTitans:Beast Boy,Robin,Cyborg,Raven,andStarfire.They reside in Jump City when they are not saving the world while living together as teenagers without adults who disrupt the young Titans. Unlike most of the other superhero series, the situations are comic, crazy and parodic—for example, juvenile jokes that reach new heights of danger, obtaining a license to drive after destroying theBatmobileor washing the suits after staining them when fighting their enemies. The show regularly features characters who have appeared in the original series, albeit with reduced roles and/or exaggerated personalities. It also features greater attachment to theDC Universeat large, with more references to other characters including those in theJustice League,plus a few appearances byBatmanandCommissioner Gordonin lighthearted moments.

The show expresses in-jokes regarding the whole of DC's library, many of them in blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments, as well as numerous jokes at the expense of the show itself.
