Fighting
for truth, justice and the last piece of pizza, Teen Titans will debut on Cartoon
Network Saturday, July 19, at 9 p.m. (ET, PT). A new generation of superheroes
comes to life as Robin leads Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire and Raven in this all-new,
high-adventure series.
Teen Titans
features five teenage superheroes each with special powers. The team is led
by Robin, the acrobatic and daring group leader with a stocked utility belt
and no fear. Beast Boy, small in stature and quick with a joke, can shift into
the form of any animal – from a tiger to a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Starfire
is new to Earth and naïve to its ways, but when it is time for a throwdown,
she fights as hard as any of the others. The spooky, deadpan Raven can control
inanimate objects with her powerful mental abilities. Hulking Cyborg is half-man,
half-machine and the most powerful member of the team.
But Teen
Titans is not all about superpowers and bad guys. Like most teens, they love
hanging out with their friends, playing video games and going to parties. As
adolescents, they are trying to find their place in the world and dealing with
their growing pains as well as they can.
The Teen
Titans live together in a giant T-shaped tower that’s part high-tech command
center and part ultimate teen hangout. There’s every video game console
ever created, a weight room, a huge TV – anything a superhero would want.
But there are also stacks of dirty dishes in the sink and races to snag the
last soda in the refrigerator.
The Teen
Titans reside in a sprawling, sunny coastal city. It seems like the perfect
playground for teens of any kind – superhero or not – with amusement
parks, raves, pristine beaches and beautiful sunsets. But there is also a dark
side to this Pacific Coast paradise. It’s the launching pad for a steady
stream of criminal conspiracies, alien invasions and world domination schemes.
That’s when the Teen Titans put their super-insecurities and super-gripes
aside and battle the bad guys.
Teen Titans
is being produced by Warner Bros. Animation under the guidance of Emmy Award-winner
Glen Murakami. Teen Titans is based on the popular DC Comics comic book characters
and will air in 2004 on Kids’ WB!
