KidsWB Teen Titans Commercials

[Mister Intensity]

Today they aired a few commercials featuring the Teen Titans to promote the Sneak Peak of the show on May 3rd. I have to say that the designs look quite consistent with the other DCU shows once animated, proving once again, you can't judge an animated design without seeing them in action.

I saw the ad too. The designs do seem to mesh pretty well with the other dc animated shows. I still think the designs could be better but im overall happy so far.

i gonna be watching next week, man superman on static and new titans you cant miss that!

[Barb Gordon]

I saw it just a few moments ago and was quite intrigued. From what I could see, it appeared that Robin still had the ridiculous looking shoes, but thankfully the rest of his design seemed relatively okay. I just get so sick watching it though, with how they've reduced Starfire to nothing more than a stick figure or something. Not to mention how disturbing it is to see her in the Teen Titans group where the Robin isn't Dick Grayson. For those that haven't read the comics/don't know what I mean then 1)you're missing some interesting stuff and 2)at least your shielded from being so disturbed like me.

We don't actually know for sure if Robin is going to be Tim Drake yet. Anyway, I saw the commercial and it didn't look as anime-ish as I thought it would...it really wasn't all that bad...I was surprised but Superman and Batman really kind of blended in with the more cartoony Titans, I was surprised about that...maybe it won't be ALL that bad after all.

[DisneyBoy]

Were Bats and Supes in the Teen Titains commercial? Hmmm...it would be interesting to see them appear in the first TT episode...although I'm still not sold on this series. I'll just have to wait and see...

[Killtacular]

I think it's strange that Kids WB will be offering a sneak peek, when the show is premiering on Cartoon Network first.

Cause I kind of doubt Kids WB will even mention Cartoon Network.

[JohnStewart-GL]

did anyone notice robin had a staff in his hand in one shot? Mabey his Bo staff.

[James Harvey]

Were Bats and Supes in the Teen Titains commercial?

They appeared in the same commercial becuase the commercial was plugging both the "Superhero Stuffed Saturday" next Saturday, as well as plugging the "Teen Titans" sneek peek. The commercial showed scenes from "Hard As Nails," "Toys In The Hood," various Kids'WB! shows, and clips from "Teen Titans." I was surprised at how the style for "Teen Titans" did actually mesh with the regular animated style. Then again, I was more excited to see Superman in that clip.

Well ya see, as much as it bothers me on it being Tim Drake Robin (I honestly don't see how it could be otherwise), I would have to commit murders on the writers/artists if they made it Dick Grayson because it would turn him into a joke and a freak. Plus the design resembles the Tim Drake from Static Shock the most, TNBA style as well, so it would be so odd to draw him with the Tim Drake look and then it not be him.

Your right i mean its gotta be Tim Drake cause "hard as nails" static asked batman where robin was which was tim drake and he said he's with the titans, my one problem is what the hell did they do to poor ol' cyborg?

~Barb

Unless they're gonna throw us for a loop, all signs point to it being Tim. Mainly just because of Static's "Where's Robin?" question in "Hard as Nails", with Batman answering "With the Titans". The only Robin Static ever met was Drake, so it'd have to be him. Then again, the designs are completely different from what Robin appeared, so it could actually throw us for a loop.

No matter, I'm gonna try to get as many screengrabs as I can from the preview, so look for those next weekend, along with screens from "Toys in the Hood"...

[Squall]

There's a couple of things I'm still confused about...

(1) Which channel is Teen Titans going to be on -- Kids' WB or the Cartoon Network?

(2) Have their been any formal announcements stating that Teen Titans will indeed fall into contiunity with B:TAS, TNBA, S:TAS, and JL? I thought they had announced that at some point, making it a forgone conclusion (especially after SS "Hard As Nails") that Robin was indeed Tim Drake...

I'm so confused, and will be upset if Teen Titans does NOT fall into B:TAS, TNBA, S:TAS, and JL continuity (OK, so I'm one of the continuity-obsessed fans, I admit it...)

1) The Sneak Peek will air on Kids WB next week. It will make its official premiere on Cartoon Network this fall and will eventually move to the regular Kids WB lineup (which is the reverse arrangement with most WB shows where Kids WB shows go to CN). At least, those are the plans last I heard of them.

2) I believe creators are stressing that this is in continuity. Static Shock is being tied in with the crossover eps, so we must assume that the Titans exist in Static's universe. Of course, canon is what you want it to be, so you don't have to swallow TT if you don't want to...

As for the commercial, I thought the designs looked better in action. Robin's hair and body proportions look normal and Beast Boy's face looks...like a face. I didn't catch too many glimpses of the other characters, but I assume they've been tweaked accordingly to.

If Robin isn't Tim Drake, then I'll just give up trying to make connections.

[comixboy]

did anybody catch any screens from the commercial/ preview?

[Killtacular]

Teen Titans is premiering in the summer, not the fall.

[JusticeLeagueLegion]

I'm not sure, but I'm thinking that "Hard As Nails" was in production long before the Teen Titans was started, but it was thought about...Batman said "Titans" not "Teen Titans." So that doesn't confirm anything, it could have just been the adult version of the Teen Titans from the upcoming series, also, as I said before, it could have been a mix up since it was made first and it wasn't yet decided...also, a number of reliable sources have hinted that it is Dick Grayson...one mentioned that it will be a certain "Flying Grayson." That's good enough for me, and while I neither beleive or disbelive that Robin is going to be Dick Grayson for sure or not, there's no way to know for sure. Then there are also things that support it being Tim Drake, like for example the Staff, but that still proves nothing, and nothing I am saying proves anything either, but I just am trying to be open minded about it. I doubt that it will be Dick Grayson too, but I wouldn't bet my money on it. I'm not that sure. I'd definitly rather it be Dick Grayson, even though he does look stupid in design, he's supposed to be the same age as Starfire so they can be in love and blaw blaw, not Tim Drake. And at least he has Green Pants, the Tim Drake Robin had red pants. So that's another thing that could suggest that the Robin on the new Teen Titans series is Dick Grayson. But then again, that's nothing concrete.

Someone mentioned that if Robin is Dick Grayson, it wouldn't be in continuity...that's not true, if the show took place a few years before "Batman: The Animated Series" did, like sometime in the 1980s, then it would be within the same continuity, just not the same time period. Just like Jonah Hex is from the 1800s and Superman from the 2000s. There was a number of years in Robin's career that wasn't shown on B:TAS, maybe this corronicles them. I don't know, but it could be. Maybe we'll see Robin's most immature years in this series...we'll have to wait and see...but I won't be satisfied if it's Tim Drake and not Dick Grayson, but it will probably be Tim Drake.

By the way, anybody got any screen shots from this commercial?

:confused:

....Whatever logic you used is not capable of translating itself to English or any other recgonizable language in my head...

*reads again*

Uh...I think you're saying this show would come before ANY other show chronologically...Well, what sense would that make if the initial press release said it was "futurisitc?"

And our sources are not always "reliable." But let's assume they are for that "one of the Flying Graysons" remark.

The only option left would be one of Dick's younger siblings. If....he....had...any...

:confused:

And that still doesn't explain Tim, because how could he be with an adult form of the Titans if the Teen Titans were just formed???

Headache....splitting headache...

[nothing]

the show never specifically mentions Tim or Dick... it's either Robin, or Robbie. with that said, there are two obvious signs... Starfire & well, you'll have to watch for a year to understand.

[BeastBoyWonder]

Given the recent information provided, I have a question: Was it ever stated that the Robin in the Static Shock crossover episode was Tim Drake? I know it was kind of assumed, but I was wondering if there were any dialogue bits or official announcements that indicated so.

Also, this sounds like interesting news. I'm definately looking foward to checking out this series. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch the commercial, but a few of my concerns have been put to rest. If Robin were Dick (as seems to be the case), that would be pretty cool, but I'm also wondering how it would fit into continuity. It could potentially be a prequel series... or... well, I'm not completely sure what other explanation might work. Any thoughts?

[Digu Volz]

It wasn't really a commercial, but a sneak peak before the sneak peak was nice. The animation looks better than I though it would, though I'm curious about how animated the characters will actually appear. Yeah, they're all too skinny, but that's the style they're using. I don't think it will be that much of a barrier, especially if the stories are good.

Just curious but, what do you think that those so-called "obvious" signs were pointing to, him being Dick or Tim...the way you said it it sounded like Dick. And...don't spoil anything for us, but could you hint what you meant by "...well, you'll have to watch for a year to understand."?

Oh, and VortexInfinite, in answer to your question, the Titans weren't "Just Formed," they've been around for years, that is if what I suggested is true. That is how it would be made possible.

[All-Star 1.5]

I think it's going to be Jason Todd. I mean he is the only other choice not being mentioned here. :p

But on the real it will probably be Tim seeing as how he is in the the Teen Titans comic book and it would really make a whole lot more sine to have Robin being the same guy instead of two different people. I mean you aren't having an animated comicbook tie in so it might really confuse casual viewers and readers.

This is why I think it's going to be Tim. Besides it allows the use of more stories I mean with the whole being brainwashed and all. :harley:


I can't wait for this show to come. :)

I believe Robins in Young Justice unless they changed the groups name i really think young justice sucks, but its got to be Tim Drake. And Static asked batman who are the titans and Bats said you'll see or something to that effect.

[Knight]

I believe Robins in Young Justice unless they changed the groups name i really think young justice sucks, but its got to be Tim Drake.

The Titans comic (Which will now be called "Teen Titans") is changing to reflect the line up of the upcoming cartoon. With Tim Drake Robin now a Titan. Young Justice is being cancelled and former Titans like Nightwing are being moved to a comic called "Outsiders".

Great Screencaps! Thanks for posting them!

I'm actually statisfied with the way Robin looks now, except for the metalic boots and the gelled up hair of course.

Cyborg looks waaay taller and waaay older than the rest of them, this is TEEN titans y'know?

And I'm Reallllllyy not very happy with Beast Boy's (couldn't they've used his "Changeling" name instead?) design, He looks.....weird!!

All and all like I said before, I'm just happy a new DCU show is coming and let's hope it don't suck.

Now, not to act like a brat or anything but could someone post a video clip as well? :)

[Marika Segal]

I spotted that comercial too! To tell you the truth, Tim didn't look too bad when they showed him in action but he still has that horrible anorixic look to his body which I HATE:mad:!!!!! They could at least add a bit muscle to his bones for pates shake!! And his new suit is all right but I like his old suit better. I problubally woundn't mind that new suit if they didn't make Tim look so thin:mad:!! And his face looks too mush like an Allen with that mask & especially the shape & expression on his face! I'm sorry but when it comes to anything that has to do with the animated Tim Drake, I'm pretty mush conservative.

I am 100% sure that the Robin in Teen Titans is TIM DRAKE, not Jason Todd or Dick! Because Batman in "Hard As Nails" pretty mush stated to Static that Robin is with the Titans & he odveiously meant the Teen Titans. And its pretty clear to me that Batman meant the Tim Drake Robin so what other Robin could Batman stated to Static that Static knows about???

I'm kinda looking foward to that Titains sneak peek on May 3. I hope it'll be great & very fun to watch!!

Peace!!!!

[Bud 'n Lou]

This really has nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I was just compelled to reply to say how charming and cute Marika Segal's spelling mistakes are. :0)
Back on topic though, I don't like the sound of the things nothing has revealed. How can they not identify who Robin is? I'm afraid this might mean that we're in store for the same "no secret identities" thing that they made the mistake of doing in the first season of Justice League.

[Marika Segal]

'Bud 'n Lou', can you tell what words I spelled wrong or does that mean totally something esle? I'm not mad at all or anything like that. I just want to know what you meant by my spelling being wrong. Did say anything in my least post on this thread that was very offensive to you?

[Matt-Man]

I didn't get to see the preview of the preview, but I saw the screen grabs and it looks like this show may be good after all. The designs look better than what those pictures showed. Thank God.

Nothing you said offended me at all. I hope I haven't offended you. I just found things in your post cute, such as how you typed "odveiously" instead of "obviously," or "mush" intead of "much." And "pates shakes"? Too cute.

[Marika Segal]

You have not offended me 'Bud 'n Lou'. But you did have me a little worried there thats all, nothing big. I didn't notice some of my spelling errers that you just pointed out. But you have to bear with me cause I'm not a very good speller that mush. I at times notice some miss spellings on some posts on any thread.

[The Detective]

I didn't see the commercial so thanks for the screen grabs. Robin looks decent but why does he have to be so annorexic? ???

A question that'll plague us all!

[Chris Wood]

Ugh. "Teen" Titans? They look more like the elementary school Titans. Deathstroke will eat these kids for lunch.

[Tim Drake]

The new show looks great to me! However it does look very anime with the color backgrounds with action lines. Anyhow any new DCAU show is a good show as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah...but Batman Beyond and Justice League both have backrounds w/ action lines, so it's nothing new for DC animation.

To me, it actually looks less anime then it did when pics were first released. Ah well. Only time will tell.

[Tim Drake]

Toys in the Hood airs at 1030 am what time does the sneak peek air??

[JusticeLeagueLegion]

Throughout that morning, we don't know what time for sure, I guess that's the WB's way of forcing us to watch all of their shows!

[Marika Segal]

I'm assuming that the sneak peek will be on after the Static Shock Superman across over episode.

[Vin]

In case you guys are interested, the show premieres Saturday, July 19 at 9:00 p.m. I posted a bit about the premiere date here (http://animationinsider.net/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=7&t=846).
