List of Teen Titans episodes
Teen Titans is an American animated television series based on the DC comics series of the same time by Bob Haney and Bruno Premiani. Developed by David Slack for Cartoon Network, the series was produced by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation with Sander Schwartz serving as executive producer and Glen Murakami, Bruce Timm, Linda M. Steiner signing on as producers. The series follows the adventures of a team of crime-fighting teenaged superheroes, consisting of the leader Robin (voiced by Scott Menville), foreign alien princess Starfire (voiced by Hynden Walch), green shapeshifter Beast Boy (voiced by Greg Cipes), the technological genius Cyborg (voiced by Khary Payton), and dark sorceress Raven (voiced by Tara Strong).
Inspired by the success of the DC Comics based series Justice League, the series was created in a semi-serialized format, utilizing anime styles and mixing it with American style animation. The show was greenlit in September 2002 and began airing on Cartoon Network on July 19, 2003, and on Kids WB network on November 1, 2003.[1][2][3] The series lasted five seasons, each consisting of 13 episodes, with the 65th and final episode airing on January 16, 2006. The series was concluded with a television movie titled Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo. Each season has a story arc revolving around a main character: Robin (season one), Terra (season two), Cyborg (season three), Raven (season four), and Beast Boy (season five). The series's alternative network, Kids WB, aired two seasons of the show. All seasons of the series were released on DVD, with the first starting from February 7, 2006.
Teen Titans has been critically acclaimed for its strong storylines but criticized in earlier seasons for its use of anime influences.[4][5] The first season garnered strong ratings for Cartoon Network, which prompted the network to order 52 more episodes.[6] The series was also nominated for 3 Annie Awards.[7]
