Ranking Every DC Animated TV Series From Worst To Best
5. Teen Titans
For one reason or another, 2003's Teen Titans seems to have the most dedicated fanbase of all DC's animated shows. It makes sense too, given just how good the show was in its prime, but one would surmise that the continuation of the series in the 'Go!' format is probably responsible for the its nostalgic resurgence in recent years.
Revolving around the likes of Dick Grayson's Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire, Teen Titans offered audiences a delicate balance between straight up silliness and a more mature and thoughtful approach to superhero storytelling. The show did have its cutesie moments of course, but it's important to remember that the involvement of Ron Perlman's Deathstroke (dubbed Slade in the show) often led to some pretty dramatic highs and lows. The series finale, too, laid on a lot of emotion thick and fast. Fans of Starfire and Robin have never quite recovered.
It may not have succeeded in quite the same way as that other adolescent animated series, but Teen Titans was a standout success for a reason.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
