83. Teen Titans

Original Air Date: 2003-2006
Network: Cartoon Network

After years of being wowed by Bruce Timm's animated take on the DC universe with everything from Batman to Justice League, it was a bit of a shock to see the original "young people's" superhero group get a whole different kind of treatment in this anime-tinged series. Featuring very young, wide-eyed (literally, not necessarily figuratively) versions of Robin, Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire, and others, Teen Titans is memorable alone for its fun theme song by J-Popers Puffy AmiYumi -- "Teen Titans Go!" -- but also for its character-based stories that often delved into the troubles of being a teenager. Still, as out-there as the style of the show seemed to be to many fans, the series did often touch on hallmarks of the comic on which it was based, including stories culled from the "Judas Contract" and "Terror of Trigon" story arcs from the New Teen Titans comic. Go, Teen Titans, indeed.
