10 Lessons The DCU Teen Titans Movie Needs To Learn From The Animated Series

Summary

• DC's Teen Titans movie can learn from the successful 2003 cartoon show in tackling important themes relevant to young superheroes.
• Younger Teen Titans face struggles of being heroes and growing up, which should be explored in the DC movie adaptation.
• The DCU should focus on showing the humanity of the Teen Titans, allowing them to achieve victory through compassion, not just physical strength.

DC’s recently announced Teen Titans movie would be smart to take some cues from one of the most popular adaptations of the team, the 2003 Teen Titans cartoon show. As of now, DC hasn’t announced the roster of heroes that will be on the DCU’s Teen Titans team, so it’s hard to say if the movie can really take any one-for-one stories from the show. However, the show does do a good job tackling important themes that would be relevant to any iteration of the team.
Like Marvel’s teased Young Avengers, the Teen Titans are younger than typical superheroes. This means they will likely be struggling with both being superheroes and growing up, especially as this kind of story has been demonstrated to work well in movie adaptations via younger heroes like Spider-Man. This is also something that Teen Titans did very well, often integrating typical themes of teen media into the larger superhero stories it was telling - meaning that the upcoming DC movie would benefit from mirroring what made its predecessor work.
