'Teen Titans Go!' Joining DC Nation
It's been a busy week for superhero animation. Disney XD announced that it's Marvel Universe programming block will get a second season of Ultimate Spider-Man, while Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes will not be renewed; It will be replaced with a retooled Avengers series, set to debut in 2013.
So what about DC Nation? Cartoon Network's DC Nation Block has only good news so far. The success of the Teen Titans Go! shorts, which have been running as interstitials during Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series, has led to the decision to return the heroes to a full series of their own. And so, beginning 2013, Teen Titans Go! will join DC Nation as a half-hour weekly animated series.
Here's Cartoon Network's take on TTG!, via press release:
“Character-driven comedy is the order of the day as this new take on the super hero series focuses on the funny business that happens between saving the world and living together as teenagers without adult supervision. They may be super heroes who save the world every day … but somebody still has to do the laundry! With the ability to turn into any animal or detach their robotic limbs, teenage pranks reach a whole new level. And even super heroes have to take Driver’s Ed. to get a license – especially after wrecking the Batmobile on an unauthorized joy ride to impress a girl!”
