Teen Titans Go!

About Teen Titans Go!

Teen Titans Go! is an animated television series that was first released in 2013 by Cartoon Network. Not your typical superhero team, the Teen Titans are unique bunch composed of Robin, the commanding yet incredibly neurotic leader; Cyborg, a half-human, half-robot who loves food and technology; Raven, a sarcastic and humorously blunt occult powerhouse; Starfire, the happy-go-lucky Tamaranian princess; and Beast Boy, the perpetually transformed, fun-loving prankster.

The series showcases the Titans' life outside of being superheroes, covering slice-of-life moments, random humor, pop culture references and more. It's a lighter, somewhat satirical interpretation of the DC Comics characters that's drawn in by a younger audience while also appealing to longtime fans of the Titans with its witty humor.
