Warner Bros. has had mixed success with its superhero output of late, with Wonder Woman the clear standout. So why not give Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire and the rest of the Teen Titans Go! team their shot? That's exactly what is happening via Teen Titans Go! To The Movies, which has a first teaser online.
The movie promises to be as meta as the series often is, with the young heroes looking to shoehorn themselves into the lucrative cinematic action. Who says everyone else gets to be in a film and not them? De facto leader Robin (Scott Menville) is determined to remedy the situation, and be seen as a star instead of a sidekick. If only they could get the hottest Hollywood film director to notice them. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their heart, the Teen Titans head to Tinsel Town, certain to pull off their dream. But when the group is radically misdirected by a seriously super villain and his maniacal plan to take over the Earth, things really go awry. The team finds their friendship and their fighting spirit failing, putting the very fate of the Teen Titans themselves on the line...
TV vocal regulars Hynden Walch, Khary Payton, Greg Cipes and Tara Strong are joined for this one by Will Arnett and Kristen Bell. Series overseers Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic wrote the script, wot Horvath and Peter Rida Michail (another veteran of the show) directing. The film will be out on 3 August.
