Based on the classic DC comic (mostly the 1980s incarnation by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, but with a lot of differences), with a generous dose of anime influence thrown in, Teen Titans features the adventures of five young superheroes:

Robin, the gruff, straight-laced leader; Starfire, an alien from the planet Tamaran who behaves like an Action Girl Funny Foreigner; Cyborg, the second-in-command Techno Wizard who can also hold his own in a fight with his body's built-in weaponry; Raven, The Quiet One, a moody sorceress with a few secrets of her own; and Beast Boy, the shape-shifting Plucky Comic Relief.

While their adventures are primarily episodic, each season includes an arc that follows the most famous arcs of the comic book with some fidelity. Furthermore, in the last season, its arc not only introduces the majority of the classic characters from the comic but also the members and enemies of the allied superhero team, The Doom Patrol. Deathstroke appeared as the series' main antagonist, though he used his civilian name of "Slade" due to the executives thinking "Deathstroke" was inappropriate (which became redundant come the Young Justice adaptation). Other comic book villains such as Trigon, the Fearsome Five, and Mad Mod appeared, as did a number of original villains created for the show, such as Red X and Control Freak.

It has a Made-for-TV Movie titled Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo, and its own comics series, Teen Titans Go! (not be to confused with the TV series Teen Titans Go!).

It was originally pitched as a Young Justice series, and the two are very similar in tone. Oddly enough, when Young Justice itself got a series, many noted it to be closer in tone to the original Teen Titans comics.

Reruns used to air every weekday on Boomerang at 11 pm through midnight, and weekends from 3-4 pm, and on Cartoon Network at 6-6:30 AM EST. All five seasons of the show are likewise available on DVD, Blu-ray, iTunes and Netflix (not instant). The show has also returned in the form of chibi-fied shorts for Cartoon Network's new DC Nation block, called, appropriately enough, New Teen Titans. Thanks to the success of these shorts, a new Super-Deformed, Denser and Wackier series titled Teen Titans Go! premiered as a part of the DC Nation block in 2013, with all of the original cast back as their respective characters. While popular with the target audience, response to it among older, long-time fans of the characters has been... mixed.

Tara Strong tweeted that there is a chance this show could receive another season if Teen Titans Go! To the Movies was successful. However, the films moderate performance at the box office left this promise in doubt, with the Direct-to-Video movie Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans so far being the only project involving the original series.

This series has a character sheet and a recap. Now has a Best Episode Crowner . All episodes can be watched for free (with ads) on Cartoon Network's website , provided you sign in with a cable provider. The TV episodes are available on the DC Universe streaming service with a subscription.
