Crisis of Infinite Episodes - New Teen Titans Say "No" to Drugs



The year: 1983. The message: Say 'No' to Drugs. The heroes: The New Teen Titans. While I am not sure if this 60 second anti-drug message actually aired or not, if it had it would have contained the first onscreen appearances by several Titans including Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire, Cyborg, and... The Protector?

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Amethyst Princess of Gemworld: Level One: Your Quest Begins


This was amazing and exactly what these shorts should be. Sure, Batman shorts can be fun or even brilliant as was the case with the Bat Man of Shanghai, but shorts like this can succeed by taking a character like Amethyst that hardly any one cares about, and after one minute making a strong case for the character begging for her own series.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - New Teen Titans: Apprentice, Part 3


As a sequel to the two-part episode Apprentice, this episode had it all: Larry the Titan, Slade, Slikie... in drag!? Maybe things were taken a little too far with the whole make-out between Larry and Silkie in Starfire's underwear. I don't know whether to laugh or barf. But I do know this short is a keeper.It should also be mentioned that we got cameos by H.I.V.E. academy members Gizmo, Jinx, and Mammoth - and since we know Jinx reformed, this must have taken place before the series 5th season.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - New Teen Titans: Titans in Love



Donde esta Silkie? One of the fun things about the New Teen Titans shorts has been trying to spy the Silkie Easter egg in each short. I enjoyed this short for its juxtaposition of romances as it cut between Raven's low key love affair to Robin's jealousy and desperation for Starfire. Cuter than cool, this was one of the better Teen Titans shorts and a big step up from Gamma Rays and You. Legend has it the two sub shorts were titled Language Lesson and Raven's Date.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - New Teen Titans: Gamma Rays and You


After a bit of a summer hiatus, this was not the best short to get the old ball rolling again. I enjoyed Starfire's gag about super "powders," but the laughs were a bit sparse this time around. I didn't even really get the premise... something about outtakes from a PSA to warn of gamma ray exposure... This was begging for a Hulk homage. Oh well, at least I can be sure that the next time around the Titans are likely to deliver.

Watch the First Clip from Teen Titans Go!


No, this isn't your Dad's Teen Titans. Released this past weekend at Wondercon was the first clip from Teen Titans Go featuring Starfire, Beast Boy, and Cyborg loosing various appendages battling Cinderblock while Robin waited in line at a Deli. This may give a bit of an idea of the flavor to expect from the show. Enjoy:

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - New Teen Titans: Blackfire's Babysitter


On its own, the short is fine. The Happy Mother's Day message at the end is laugh inducingly ironic. But for fans of the Teen Titans animated series, this was a real treat. Blackfire only appeared in a pair of episodes, but sort of disappeared with no real resolution. She was last seen trying to force Starfire into marrying the very same alien Glgrdsklechhh who fathered her children. Even though I was not a huge Blackfire fan this tie back to the series was much appreciated and enjoyed.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - MAD Presents Teen Titanic


I thought there were a couple of really hilarious lines in this one; Raven on the ship's bow and Aqualad's trick were both classic. I also got a kick out of Robin sketching Beast Boy. Perhaps the MAD to non MAD ratio of shorts is beginning to get out of whack, but so far I haven't minded the reuse of the shorts since they have been reasonably funny.

Watch Mumbo's Return in Leaked Teen Titans Short


Remember how DC Nation was unceremoniously removed from Cartoon Network a month ago? Well a morsel of good news is upon us as the CN Youtube channel has posted the delayed New Teen Titans: Titanimal Kingdom short featuring the return of Mumbo. This sequel to Bunny Raven is available now:

Is Starfire Coming to Young Justice? - Debunked -


I am really confused right now. There is an image floating around the interweb that appears to show Starfire alongside Nightwing on Young Justice. That would be great, BUT is it for real? The main reason for me to think its a hoax is that Nightwing has reverted to the Discowing costume. Could this be a flashback? I suppose...
