According to what I've been told, word on when the remainder of Season 4 will finally be airing should be forthcoming very soon - but all points at the moment seem to be looking at May.

TT game coming late 2005:

Majesco Entertainment has been awarded the video game rights to Teen Titans, the company announced today. The forthcoming game, which is being developed by Artificial Mind & Movement, is set in a crime-ridden city featuring the villains Slade, Overload, Jinx, Gizmo, and Mammoth. Players will be able to switch control in real time between heroes Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Raven.

Majesco will publish the game later this year for the Game Boy Advance, Xbox, PlayStation2 and GameCube systems.

My only gripe? NO PC VERSION! C'mon, what the hell? Some people are still looking for jobs so they can afford a console!!!!

TROQ (I.E., a NEW EPISODE) COMMERCIALS ARE AIRING!
If we ignore the "Totally Spies" part of the ads:

-15-second one with a group shot: http://www.john7.com/tt/troq/TROQ.mov

-30-second one with a bit more footage: http://www.john7.com/tt/troq/TROQ-30.mov

The reason TROQ is airing Monday, May 9th at 6:30pm instead of the normal Saturday at 8pm? Apparently the Miguzi block is premiering a new Miguzi friend or something, and the new episode is part of the 'celebration.' Whatever...

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!

apparently, "The Prophecy" has aired in France already. WAY TO GO, CARTOON NETWORK!!!!!!!!!!!

And like half of the rest of season 4 will air next week on YTV in Canada...

Anyways, for people who want spoilers for Prophecy, go here for a shitload of screenshots:  http://photobucket.com/albums/y155/Cielnocturne/Prophecy-Fr/

and a full guide to the episode (some names, aka "Skat," are probably gonna be different in the US version), go here.

There's a major spoiler there on the third page of the screenshot gallery:

ARELLA!!!!!!! AND AZARATH!

[Reply #328 on:]

No thanks.  I'll just wait to see the actual episode.

[Reply #329 on:]

Show spoiler

click here for screenshots from "Troq," which airs here in the US on Monday. Screenshots from TitansGo.net
Now, the review: "Troq" isn't exactly a bad TT ep, but it's not "Birthmark" or "Aftershock," either. It does feel a litle odd. However, this was clearly TT's Star Trek and Star Wars reference show, and the design of the Val-Yor character is - GASP! - is straight up Bruce Timm. Some great action sequences, though. However, the episode moves so fast, one clearly gets the feeling that they just wrote it to fill in between the central arc. Enjoyable, but  not spectacular.

And some Season 5 news: It's been confirmed that every episode of Season 5 will be part of the story arc. And it has been confirmed that Titans East returns, as does Control Freak, Hotspot, Wildebeest, Doctor Light, Kitten, and many others. And it's been confirmed that Malchior from "Spellbound" will also make a reappearance, though it wasn't said whether that would come in this season or in Season 5.

Show spoiler

"The Prophecy" screenshots and my review shall arrive either late Monday or on Tuesday. And if it's as it has been rumoured, screenshots and reviews for pretty much the rest of Season 4 (it's still unconfirmed, but heavily rumoured that "Stranded," "Overdrive," and "Mother Mae-Eye" will air this same week as "Prophecy" on YTV in Canada) save "The End" will be quick in forthcoming, too.

"The Prophecy" review:

Damn. I have no words for this episode. Best episode of Season 4 so far. That's all I have to say. Y'all are just gonna have to watch it.

BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS!

Taken straight from titansgo.net forums:

 

We've got our ears to the ground and according to a source, it seems that CN might air all 3 parts of The End one right after the other on July 4!

Also, looks like the 4-part finale for JLU will air then:

7:00 PM - Teen Titans: The End (Pt 1)
7:30 PM - Teen Titans: The End (Pt 2)
8:00 PM - Teen Titans: The End (Pt 3)
8:30 PM - The Batman
9:00 PM - Justice League Unlimited: Flashpoint (Pt 1)
9:30 PM - Justice League Unlimited: Panic in the Sky (Pt 2)
10:00 PM - Justice League Unlimited: Divided We Fall (Pt 3)
10:30 PM - Justice League Unlimited: Epilogue (Pt 4)

We'll try to confirm this, but this is definitely good news!

And it has also been confirmed at  www.gregcipes.com  that the script for a Titans Direct-To-Video movie has been completed - however, IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE AN ORIGINS STORY. David Slack (writer) wanted to do something different, apparently.

And one more thing - here's a taste of how kickass "The Prophecy" - and in particular, Slade - will be when the episode airs in June:

Who's at home watching TV on the fourth of July?

Kickass?  Please.  You can see the strings.  I liked him better when he wasn't Trigon's puppet.

Still, it's better than having him become an ally of the Titans.  I never could stomach that idea.

[Reply #333 on:]

Was Darth Vader any less kickass as the Emperor and the Grand Moff's puppet? C'mon, man...

And on the 4th of July news - yeah, it's stupid. But it's only a rumour at this point, still hasn't been confirmed. I swear to god, if it is I'll be pissed, because I KNOW I'm going to be at a party then.

1. He was never the Grand Moff's puppet.  He followed the Grand Moff's orders only because he felt like it, or because the Emperor wanted him to do so.

2. He did kill the Emperor at the end, you know.

Getting back to Teen Titans, Slade really does seem to like beating up on teenage girls, doesn't he?  What's up with that?

[Reply #335 on:]

Don't worry, Raven gets a bit of revenge on him at the end of "Prophecy," - and if all the rumours circulating are true, she dishes out even more upon him in "The End."

[Reply #336 on:]

I have only this to say about "Stranded" - which did air in Canada today, as will "Overdrive" tomorrow and "Mother Mae-Eye" on Thursday: NOTHING!


EDIT: Sorry, but Ben Jones (one of the show's directors, though he didn't direct this one) confirmed that picture to not be a Big O reference like I thought it was. Instead, it was a reference to the OVA series "Giant Robo," which started in 1992 but then went through hell before being finally finished in 1998:


Still, "Stranded" was a great episode, anyways. That picture isn't even part of the Story A in the episode, it's part of one of the side stories. But the main story is done superbly - absolutlely superbly. Y'all are gonna love it when - if it ever - airs in the US.

"Overdrive" review:

Ladies and gentlemen, WE HAVE A GOOD CYBORG EPISODE!

and that's all I'm gonna say. Mother Mae-Eye review coming tomorrow, if I can see before then.

and in other news, apparently "The End, Part 1" will air May 25th in Canada. No word on whether Parts 2 and 3 will air consecutively on the same day yet.

Yeah, I didn't think that Cyborg's head was shaped right for that to be a Big O reference.  Also, Roger Smith doesn't wear short pants.

[Reply #339 on:]

Well, it's remarkably similar. I wasn't the only person on the tgn boards they fooled. I had just thought they'd put BB in shorts as sort of a joke thing...

EDIT: Apparently now the YTV schedule shows "The End, part 1" for May 25th. Still no word on part 2 and part 3, but that should come ina  few days once more of the YTV schedule becomes available.

[Reply #340 on:]

I agree that they're remarkably similar.  I'm guessing that Giant Robo was one of the many sources of inspiration for The Big O.

"Mother Mae-Eye" review:

Show spoiler

Raven in a yellow dress and pigtails, the Titans' tower turned into a huge gingerbread house, the Titans being controlled by pie, the Titans fighting gingerbread men - I was falling down with laughter watching this whole episode. One of the best crazy episodes. This season is coming along fantastically.

[Reply #342 on:]

"TROQ"

A Titans episode that deals with racism? Hmm..interesting, but really un-Titans like. But I'm not panning the episode, I actually liked it. The action was top notch and the way the story went was good. The group shot of the Titans, with the outstreached thumbs up from Beast Boy, made me think "Oh yeah, they're back!" As good as the episode was, I do have my small gripes. Was it just me, or was Raven a little too happy in this episode? I mean, it's nice and all to see her smile, but I feel moments like those should be used for episodes involving her (Raven-centric). Nothing big, but worth noting. I might've missed something, but did they explian why Val-ior didn't like Tamaranians? I would help if there was an explination. Other than these small issues, the episode was good. I liked that little 180 degree turn on Robin hwen he finds out the truth about Val-ior. I also loved how the whole group had that looked as they were about to whail on Val-ior at any moment. Overall, good episode.

Grade: B+

Positives:
-Good story
-Top notch action
-The group shot
-Improved animation

Negatives
-Val-ior= @$$hole
-Happy Raven?

PS- I forgot, is The End really going to be the last episodes? Or is a season 5 going to be made?

[Reply #343 on:]

Ugh...FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME, "THE END" IS SIMPLY THE NAME OF THE EPISODE!!!! THERE IS GOING TO BE A SEASON 5! Sorry, but I'm getting sick of people asking that when it's been answered like 4 times in this thread already. Besides, if you'd looked about 13 posts up, you'dve seen this, spacepilot3000:

Good news for you DVD collectors: the next Teen Titans DVD (Volume 3) has been greenlit!

We've been informed that the DVD will be released in September, with the title "Fear Itself". Volume 3 will contain (assumedly) the first half of Season 2. We'll keep you updated when more details arrive.

Sorry! Sorry! Just got a little confused that's all.

Ps. Sorry

MORE SEASON 5 NEWS!!!!!

This is big. Very big.

Hot off the  http://www.titansgo.net  presses:
   

Regarding the recent news of Kid Flash appearing in the show's future, we received some new and interesting info:

1. Kid Flash will show up in a Season 5 episode titled "Lightspeed"

2. And: "It should be very obvious which Kid Flash it is, much more so than Robin"

Stay tuned as more news comes into view!

[Reply #346 on:]

Okay, I'm willing to admit this.  I'm starting to like Teen Titans.  I saw the very first episode and I was bored by it.  However, after a few year later, I find myself watching episodes regularly.  I just saw "Date With Destiny" and I was excited to learn that Will Friedel made a guest appearance.  I especially like the Robin/Starfire relationship.

It's too soon to say, but I think Teen Titans may be the next show I really get into.

First was Futurama, then it was Kim Possible.  It could be Teen Titans, or it may be Danny Phantom, depending on if they start airing in episodes.

It probably could also be Codename Kids Next Door, since new episodes started airing and I like the Numbah 3/Numbah 4 relationship.

[Reply #347 on:]

Teen Titans gets insanely good starting with the finale of Season 2. Trust me, man. CN's showing various repeats (not in order, seasonal or otherwise, unfortunately) like 4 times a day, so watch for all the Terra episodes. Season 3 is incredible, and season 4 has been like buttery smooth so far.

And for all wonderin', it still looks like Canada's gonna be gettin' "The End" next week.

[Reply #348 on:]

 

1. Kid Flash will show up in a Season 5 episode titled "Lightspeed"

2. And: "It should be very obvious which Kid Flash it is, much more so than Robin"

I'm guessing that it will be obvious because Wally has red hair and Bart has brown hair.

...unless they mean that it's going to be Iris?

[Reply #349 on:]

David, David, David...it's gonna be Wally. How sure am I? 100% sure. It WILL be Wally. It MUST be Wally. It CAN ONLY be Wally. Therefore, it's gonna be Wally.

[Reply #350 on:]

Obviously I'd rather see Wally as Kid Flash than Bart, but I wouldn't be so sure.

[Reply #351 on:]

No, I'd be so sure.

Now, all we need is news of Donna being in an episode...

[Reply #352 on:]

Heh.  I was gonna say that.

Don't expect to see that anytime soon, though.  Apparently there are legal issues.  From what I hear, they had a hard enough time getting permission to use Wonder Woman on Justice League.

FIRST IMAGES OF THE GAME!

 http://media.ps2.ign.com/media/743/743375/imgs_1.html?fromint=1

aaaand wow, that looks like crap...they better fuckin' get the graphics cleaned up. Cinderblock looks like he's made of metal, not rock...

[Reply #354 on:]

They have plenty of time to clean up those graphics. I hope the Xbox version looks better though. It seems this game will be inspired by Gauntlet Legends. Me and a friend of mine were talking about this game and we both agreed that this game should allow players to switch characters on the fly. Like when the hit a certain problem that need a certain characters help, players would switch to that charcter and solve the problem. That would be cool. But it's most likely wishful thinking.

Um, you are aware that the adult Flash in the JLU cartoon is Wally West? They came out and said it in the second season. Therefore, Wally West cannot be both the Flash and Kid Flash at the same time. Or, rather, he could, but it would involve him going back in time and meeting his younger version of himself or something stupid like that.

[Reply #356 on:]

Are you aware that the two cartoons exist in completely different universes and that DC has probably become more lenient with the liscensing of characters since the show has proven itself to be a runaway hit?

The Shrek 2 game worked like that.

 

Originally posted by RavenStar:

This is true, and should be obvious to you, Evan.  The Justice League cartoon takes place after Batman: The Animated Series, in which Dick Grayson had already become Nightwing.  By your reasoning, the Robin on Teen Titans could not be Dick Grayson, but we know that he is, so you are wrong.

Teen Titans has a separate continuity from the other DCU cartoons.  They are not connected.

[Reply #358 on:]

It's going to be Bart, for one major reason; his personality is way more entertaining than Wally's ever was.

[Reply #359 on:]

It will be Wally. If I owned a fucking island, I'd be willing to bet that that it will be Wally. Trust me, it will be Wally.

In  other news, more info on the game has sprung up:
