Teen Titans Go! (2013– )

Look, this show is NOT the same as Teen Titans (2003). This reminds me of when people got really upset about Batman: The Brave and the Bold because it was campy, retro, and in general more of a Silver Age variety and not dark and gritty like the Nolanverse. BTBATB was a great show because it got people to think about comics and DC heroes in a different way than has been done since the advent of uber-realistic hero films/programming.

I'm a big DCU fan,and I have been for a long time. I also have a young son, and I really enjoy watching this show with him. He's a bit young for me to feel super positive about letting watch some of the darker DC shows (There are some pretty dark ones), but this one, I feel is fine. It's just a bit of fun. I like that he is able to have a show that he enjoys and learns about characters that I grew up reading. The characters share the spirit that the characters have always had, it's just a different interpretation of how to present the characters. It's not for everyone, but what is? Is it ridiculous? Yes. Is it bizarre? Yes. But you know what? Not all DCU shows can (or should even try) to be edgy, boundary pushing explorations of what a hero is. Sometimes it's okay to just have a good time for no reason.
