Teen Titans Go! is a spin-off series from Teen Titans, an animated series released in 2003 on Cartoon Network. The creator of Teen Titans, Glen Murakami, wanted to remain true to the story lines of these heroes in their own right. As such, the characters, Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy, maintain their hero identities as we watch them battle villains, develop relationships amongst themselves, and grow into maturity as the supposed sidekicks of the “bigger heroes.”
The original series, which is based on many of the comics that began in 1964, ran for five seasons with positive critical ratings.
