'Teen Titans Go!' and Warners Bros. TV Headed to WonderCon 2013

Posted by G-Man (25924 posts) - 2 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

For the second year in a row, WonderCon is taking place in Anaheim. It was recently announced that the new Teen Titans Go animated series will premiere on Tuesday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on Cartoon Network. It will re-air the following Saturday on DC Nation.

If April 23 is too far away, you can try to make your way to WonderCon to catch the premiere episode. On Friday, March 29, you can watch the first episode at the Teen Titans Go! panel. The show is inspired by the original series that ran five seasons and "focuses on the funny that happens in between saving the world and living together as teenagers without adult supervision." Producers Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath, along with Warner Bros. Animation’s Sam Register and voice actors Greg Cipes and Khary Payton will be there.

== TEASER ==

Teen Titans Go! is not the only WB show that will be there. Also on Friday, you can catch an unaired episode of Arrow and stars Stephen Amell, Colin Donnell, Willa Holland and Paul Blackthorne, as well as executive producers Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim will be at the panel.

There will also be a screening for an episode of The Following (Kevin Bacon is great in this show).

In The Following, Bacon plays psychologically scarred ex-FBI agent Ryan Hardy, who’s drawn back into an ever-growing web of murder and madness masterminded by serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy, Rome), who brought an end to Hardy’s career years before. In addition to Bacon and Purefoy, The Followingalso stars Natalie Zea, Annie Parisse, Shawn Ashmore, Valorie Curry, Adan Canto, Nico Tortorella and Kyle Catlett.

There will also be a screening of Revolution from J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and Supernatural’s Eric Kripke.

Revolution is about a family struggling in an American landscape where every single piece of technology — computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights — has mysteriously blacked out forever. A drama with sweeping scope and intimate focus, Revolution is a swashbuckling journey of hope and rebirth seen through the eyes of one strong-willed young woman, Charlie Matheson (Being Human’s Tracy Spiridakos), and her brother Danny (Graham Rogers). When Danny is kidnapped by militia leaders for a darker purpose, Charlie reconnects with her estranged uncle, Miles (Twilight’s Billy Burke), a former U.S. Marine living a reclusive life. Together with a rogue band of survivors, they set out to rescue Danny, overthrow the militia and ultimately re-establish the United States of America. All the while, they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed and if — or how — it will ever return.

On Saturday there will be video presentation panels and Q&A for Teen Titans Go! and Revolution and a signing for Teen Titans Go! at the DC Entertainment booth (#801) from 1:30-2:15. On Sunday there will be a video presentation and Q&A for Arrow with a signing at 2:15-3:00 at the DC Entertainment booth.

In other words, you need to make plans attend WonderCon in Anaheim. The show runs March 29-31 at the Anaheim Convention Center.

I'm still really skeptical about this show. I'd have no problem with it replacing Young Justice if it weren't for the fact that its going to be a screwball comedy instead of a continuation of the old show.

#2 Posted by G-Man (25924 posts) - 2 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

@Black_Claw: I think in all fairness, we should try not to hold it against this show that Young Justice is over.

This show is dead on arrival to me. It works better as shorts, not as a full series. The Batman of Shanghai deserves to be a full series, not Beware the Batman.

It's probably gonna be good, not sure how they could possibly screw this up, but I'm still not gonna watch not, not for YJ and GL or anything, it's just not my cup of tea.

This new Teen Titan show kinda bitter sweet for me. On the one hand I get to see more of my favorite version of Starfire, who I count as the DEFINITIVE version, and it's really gonna be a nostalgia blast to see this version of the Titans again comedy or not. On the second hand I hope the humor will manage to actually be funny, otherwise I WILL be a lot more peeved off than I already am that this show is taking Young Justice's time slot.

I just don't see the point of bringing back a show and kiddifying it even more. The original Teen Titans series while very goffy still had really serious moments to it but this. It does not look appealing.

#7 Posted by Black_Claw (876 posts) - 2 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

@Smart_Dork_Dude: I feel you there do. To me this show seems like DC's answer to Ultimate Spiderman.

#8 Posted by Fantasgasmic (1016 posts) - 2 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

It works as shorts but without the crime fighting I dunno if it could carry a 22 minute show. And it looks like crappy Flash animation. I'd say CN is focusing on low cost rather than high quality, but between Johnny Test, MAD, Total Drama, and all those other horrible Canadian Teletoon flash animated shows, they've been doing that for a while.

And if that is the case, then that answer raises a question. Why? Just, why? Look I hate Ultimate Spider-Man, this is coming from a Spider-Man fan and Marvel fan in general, but from the very few episodes I've seen it does handle fight scenes very well. Sure the comedy is cringe worthy to me, but the fights are good. This begs the question of, if DC truly is doing this, why make it a straight up comedy? Sure Ultimate Spider-Man has a more, and I use this term loosely, "comedic" approach but it still manages to get the action in there.

I hope DC is ready to field questions about Young Justice at WonderCon. You know they're coming.

#16 Posted by Gotham331 (52 posts) - 2 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

DC should stick to shows that appeal to a much wider audience and leave the kiddie toons to Marvel

#18 Edited by TMEInk (4 posts) - 2 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

For me, with Teen Titans Go I'm in wait-and-see mode. While I do think switching up the style and making it more goofy is a mistake, I can't really judge what the show will be like until I actually watch an episode. While it won't replace Young Justice or GL:TAS in my mind (it doesn't really seem fair to be angry at TTG for that though since it was CN decision), I was a huge fan of the original cartoon and actually enjoyed the more goofy episodes compared to the serious ones. So I dunno. I'll give it a shot. Can't be worse than Ultimate Spider-Man.

Edit: Worse comes to worse, this could just end up being a TV version of Tiny Titans. And I'm always for more Tiny Titans. Aw Yeah Tiny Titans (Why'd DC cancel you...)

T-T Young Justice is so fricking awesome, last week episode was so much win contained in one episode that my computer exploded

#20 Posted by AllStarSuperman (3300 posts) - 2 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

ive seen all the teen titans episodes and the only ones id rewatch are the robin vs slade ones i kinda hate everthing else. plus im ticked than its replaceing young justice!

#21 Posted by TMEInk (4 posts) - 2 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

I'll start off by saying that I love Young Justice. It's a fantastic show and one of the better shows to come out of DC's animation studios. It's really tragic to see it go and even with the game coming out at the end of the year that tells the events of what happened in that five year gap, I'm still bummed. It'll always hold a special place in my heart and I will re-watch it for years to come.

That being said...can we not turn this into a Spectacular Spider-Man situation? I mean really. I loved that show too but all I ever hear is how it was SO great and how it's one of the worst tragedies in television history that it got cancelled. No matter where I went or what I did, all I ever heard was people bi***ing and moaning about how it ended and that the world has come crashing down around them without that show in their life. Now there is a dedicated group of people who do nothing but bash every other Marvel show (even the 90s Spider-Man show) that ever came out because SSM was cancelled.

The reason I bring that up is it seems to be happening with Young Justice as well. All people have been doing since the show was cancelled is complain about it being cancelled and bash any and everything to come out before and since. I was watching clips of Batman: The Animated Series and people were complaining about how B:TAS is nowhere near as good as Young Justice.

The thing people have to realize though is that if they really did love the show, where were they when it was on? The ratings for Young Justice were abysmal, especially the current season. If even half of the people who complain watched the show when it was airing, it would probably have come back for another season. As soon as it's cancelled though, people get all up in arms. It's almost hypocritical.

And then there is the idea of "replacing." Teen Titans Go is not "replacing" YJ. Teen Titans Go had been in development while YJ was still on and was basically waiting to be greenlit. When CN looked at the ratings for YJ and GL:TAS and decided that they were losing more money than they were earning due to the terrible ratings they were getting, they cancelled the shows. Thus two spots opened up. TTG took one of them. Don't hate the show (of course without actually having watched it because judging is fun no?) because it replaced YJ. Hate CN for cancelling YJ in the first place. Hate yourself or your friends or other people for not watching it when it was on.

I don't think TTG is going to be great. It will never be the original series. But I'm at least willing to take an optimistic point of view and give it the benefit of the doubt. If I don't like it, fine, I'll move on to something else. But whining isn't going to get you anywhere and it gets really old fast.

They should have made some of the shots into series.

#23 Posted by Shazam78 (101 posts) - 2 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

I'm not skeptical about this show I loved Teen Titans then they took it off and every since I wanted them to continue the show. Unfortunately they give me this thing. JLU, Batman Beyond, Young Justice even Static Shock were good examples of DCAU. Now I have one more reason not to watch Cartoon Network. CN is to cartoons what Fox is to news.

#24 Posted by moywar700 (2775 posts) - 2 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

The creators of the show said they only watched 1 eposide of teen titans.

#25 Posted by thenexusrebound (138 posts) - 2 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

I'm upset that YJ got cancelled. It was really starting to get its legs under it and in the end it gets cut down. I loved Teen Titans but it feels like everything is going to this lets be goofy realm. Oh well what can you do?

you can try to make your way to WonderCon to catch the premiere episode. On Friday, March 29, you can watch the first episode at the Teen Titans Go! panel.

AWWWW I want to go. How much is a ticket? Man I bet you Imma end up working that day. What time does it Start? I wish my pay rate was higher DX :(. I had to cancel so many plans because my car needed to get fixed, and books for school is crazy. Oh well I appreciate the few things I can still do, even if I end up missing out on a few key events. Life is too short to live in a drag. I rather just go all out, and make sure I have the best time of my life at the few events I'm going to be able to go to.

Hmmm this show doesn't feel like it's aimed at me, mid 20s. So sad GL TAS and Young Justice are going away. Will give this and the new Batman show a shot but at least there is HUB.

#33 Posted by Bobsjonjon (112 posts) - 2 months, 6 days ago - Show Bio

Is this the same Teen Titan garbage put out years ago? It was whack then it's whack now! Why CN? Why?.. Lol@there still is the HUB.

#34 Posted by EdBlank (313 posts) - 2 months, 6 days ago - Show Bio

Whatever they are doing it has nothing to do with art or entertainment. It's like replacing High School Band with a drum machine and an auto tuned microphone. One is about serious artistic expression. The other is about ease, cost, and pandering to the widest - read "dumbest" - audience possible. I know CN is a business and all but if we can't look to CARTOON Network for the best CARTOONS, then what's the point. I am seriously thinking of boycotting CN after this weekend. First of all, everything on there sucks now (except Adventure Time, but I would trade Adventure Time for all of eternity for just one more episode of YJ and GL:TAS). Adult Swim is just total garbage now. I keep hanging on hoping it will get back on track but now they have given me an excuse to bail. F*** you Cartoon Network.

#35 Edited by ThreadPool (66 posts) - 2 months, 6 days ago - Show Bio

While I am going to give Teen Titans GO! a chance, I can't say I'm looking forward to it at all.

Long before it was announced that it would be a half hour series I had a hard time staying interested in the two minute shorts. Never cracked a smile.

Also, YJ AND GL's rating were not "abysmal". Anyone perpetuating that is giving out false information.

They both ranked in the top 20 on CN's programming, and jumped into the top 15-10 when the fans got out there and told their friends about it. Get your facts straight.

Imagine if CN was in the anime business? They would have cancelled One Piece, Nurato, and Code Geass after the first season. And I am talking about the shows in their unedited format. 4Kids did a horrible job with One Piece, for example, which made me avoid the show. But when I started to read the manga as well as the original TV show in Japanese, it was awesome.

@darthfury78:

I just feel like they no longer care about their older teen and young adult/adult audiance. I know they want nostalgia with Teen Titans Go but I am not fully interested after watching YJ get its legs kicked from under it. The least they could have done was set it up for a JL show. Oh well.

#39 Posted by arnoldoaad (933 posts) - 2 months, 6 days ago - Show Bio

of all of the shorts that i saw from DC Nation, the TT was one of those which i was the least interested in

It doesnt even makes sense to produce to promote TT since the TT are nothing like this now

well, code geass had only 2 seasons and the ending of the first season was the best moment in the series so

#43 Posted by Sphere2814 (3 posts) - 2 months, 6 days ago - Show Bio

@TMEInk: It wasn't because of the ratings. The ratings were doing just fine. The reason is because of lack of toy sales. That's it. Bruce Timm himself confirmed (for GTLAS at least) that it was because there were no toy sales. The companies that made toys from the GL movie were still bitter about the movie's box office failure and they didn't sell enough toys from that. When the animated show was announced they refused to make toys for it on the grounds that they believed it'd also end in failure. Notice that toys for GTLAS were never made.

As for Young Justice, the reasoning is probably the same. Notice how the toys were seen at the beginning but that you rarely saw them in stores. And if not that, it appeared that CN was outright against the show. Anyone recall the constant delays and hiatuses of the show courtesy of Cartoon Network?

#44 Posted by Moby (56 posts) - 2 months, 4 days ago - Show Bio

I would rather see DC Farm Animals, Black Lighting and Animal Man as full episodes that Teen Titans Go. I don't know whats going on with cartoon network it's like their trying to lose ratings. This Teen Titan looks to goofy for me.

They canceled YJ and GL for Titans Go? Titans Go looks like pure dog s@#t.
