Cartoon Network has announced that Teen Titans Go! wil be joining the DC Nation block as a half-hour comedy-action series in 2013.
Teen Titans Go! is inspired by Warner Bros. Animation's original series Teen Titans and will show the humorous side of being a teenage hero. New Teen Titans shorts have been airing this year on DC Nation.
Here's how the new show is described:
"Teen Titans Go! features the return of Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg in all-new, comedic adventures. Character-driven comedy is the order of the day as this new take on the super-hero series focuses on the funny business that happens between saving the world and living together as teenagers without adult supervision. They may be super heroes who save the world every day ... but somebody still has to do the laundry! With the ability to turn into any animal or detach their robotic limbs, teenage pranks reach a whole new level. And even super heroes have to take Driver's Ed. to get a license -- especially after wrecking the Batmobile on an unauthorized joy ride to impress a girl!"
The show features the principal voice cast from the original series -- Greg Cipes as Beast Boy, Scott Menville as Robin, Khary Payton as Cyborg, Tara Strong as Raven and Hynden Walch as Starfire.
The series is executive produced by Sam Register, with Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath as producers.
