DC doesn’t have the best reputation for superhero films, and many fans have been vocal in complaining about the television series Teen Titans Go! Yet, against what some might call better judgment and the odds, DC decided to run with Teen Titans Go! To the Movies. And the box-office numbers are showing they mi♚ght have made a good call🦹.

In making fun of themselves and breaking the fourth wall, it seems DC and Warner Bros. could be chiseling their way back into the superhero game. Teen Titans Go! To the Movies features a top-notch cast with stars like Jimmy Kimmel, Patton Oswalt, Wil Wheaton, Will Arnett, and ꦗKristen Bell. Not to mention the regular cast featuring Greg Cipes as Beast Boy, Scott Menville as Robin, Khary Payton as Cyborg, Tara Strong as Raven, and Hynden Walch as Starfire.

Critics are applauding the efforts put into Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, giving it a score of 89 percent after Thursday and Friday’s showing on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences, however, are scoring it much lower with a 69 percent. Much of this could be backlash from DC fans who are still upset about the original Teen Titans animated series not getting a reboot. The two animated series are drastically different from each other, with Teen Titans Go! clearly targeting a much younger audience.

While the Rot🌳ten Tomatoes scores show divisiveness, both sides will agree the movie was jam-packed full of nods, jokes, and Easter Eggs towards all things associated with comics and superheroes.

Warning! Spoilers Ahead for everything you missed in Teen Titans Go! To the Movies.

30 Post-Credit Original Teen Titan Mystery

At WonderCon 2018, co-creator of Teen Titans GO! Michael Jelenic made ꦫan announcement stating he “can almost guarantee” the return of the original Teen Titans. Rumors have also been rampant on the inter-web, saying the success of the film will determine the original series’ return.

In making fun of all this speculation, or to tease the📖 return of the animated series, the original cast shows up in a post-credit scene stating they might have “found a way back.” DC announced the live-action version of Titans at SDCC 2018 to premiere on their streaming service but has yet to say anything about the animated series.

29 Jade Is A Rose Wilson Look-a-like

Jade Wilson’s character serves several functions in Teen Titans GO! To the Movies. She makes fun of Hollywood and howꦿ movies are produced, is a villain in disguise, and most importan♑tly looks very much like Rose Wilson from the Teen Titans comics.

For those who don’t know, Rose Wilson is Slade’s daughter, also known as Ravager. Unlike her father,♋ Rose fights for the good guys, often pairing up with the Teen Titans. Having Jade look like Rose was a nice tribute towards a mostly character who isn’t known outside of comic book circles.

28 Stan Lee Cameos In A DC Movie

The King of Marvel Comics and MCU cameos has branched out into the DC Universe. Lee makes a surprising cameo in Teen Titans GO! To the Movies, annou♌ncing his presence in a typical Stan Lee way, before realizing he’s doing a cameo for the wrong franchise.

Despite his health and personal life issues, it’s nice to see Stan Lee making fun of himself and still doing cameos — even if it was for a DC movie. In breaking MไCU tradition and format, DC has Lee showing up two separate times in the film.

27 Dismissing Smaller Than Life Superheroes

With the MCU gearing up towards the untitled Avengers 4 and just coming off Ant-Man and the Wasp, the creators of Teen Titans GO! To the Movies didn’t hold back in making fun of the small superhero concep🐲t. The Atom (Dr. Ray Palmer) is shown several times as being worthless, getting smashed by the Teen Titans twice during the film.

While DC is obviously making fun of themselves, the jabs were clearly directed towards the MCU too. The Atom first appeared in 🅺Showcase #34 (1961) and has recently been rebooted 🌞in the Legends of Tomorrow series on CW.

26 Case Of Marvel Mistaken Identity

The Teen Titans are seen in Teen Titans GO! To the Movies as a joke, staining the reputations of so-called “real” superheroes. Taking another jab at the MC🎉U, the creators featur💫e Balloon Man getting confused over who the Teen Titans are.

At first, he thinks they’re minor Justice League characters and then claims they are the Guardians of the Galaxy. The jokes towards the GotG crew continue, as Slade challenges the Teen Titans ꦰin how they plan to take him down by saying, “Are you going to defeat me with a dance-off?”

25 Writing Off Green Lantern Movie

Deadpool and Deadpool 2 have taken plenty of shots at the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie, and it seems DC wants in on t🃏he action too. After singing a song instead of catching the villain, the Teen Titans are confronted b𒁃y Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Superman.

Starfire asks Green Lantern if ♍he’s ever had a movie made about him, to which he mumbles a reply, “We don’t talk about that.” Later in the movie, however, Green Lantern is seen🦄 filming in front of a green screen. Apparently, he didn’t learn his lesson the first time.

24 Dark Knight Metal Tribute

Flashing quickly in the background during the third act of Teen Titans GO! To the Movies is a billboard for Dark Knight Metal. True DC Comics fans will recognize the♌ name of the comic book series written by Scott Snyder, with art by Greg Capullo.

The Dark Knight Metal comics explore evil versions of Batman found in a dark multiverse led by the god Barbatos.

Showcasing Dark Knight Metal in the background could simply be a nod towards the series, or a subtle way of DC annᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚouncing an upcoming series to be featured on their streaming service.

23 Case Of The Missing Mustache

If one thing can be said about Teen Titans GO! To the Movies, DC is no longer taking themselves too seriously. Their willingness to throw themselves under the bus is smart, especially 🅰if they wꦑant to change the public’s perception.

Featured as a movie poster in the background is Detective Chimp and the Case of the Missing Mustache.

Detective Chimp is an actual DC Comics character, first appearing in the Adventures of Rex the Wonder Dog #4 (1952). Having him investigate Superman’s CGI mustache from the Justice League movie is pure comedic brilliance

22 Going Down BBRae Memory Lane

The ship of Beast Boy and Raven in the original Teen Titans series showed that boys and girls can be best of friends without a sappy l⭕ove story to tie them together. Many fans, however, wanted the writers to take their romantic interests to the next level.

Teen Titans GO! To the Movies pokes fun at this by having Beast Boy call Raven “Rae-Rae” several times, sparking an old fandom flame once again. Pe𝄹rhaps, this will lead to a new revolution of fan art surrounding Raven and Beast Boy.

21 Shazam Lumped In With Past DC Failures

Jade Wilson tells Robin she only makes movies about real superheroes. As she says this✱, the camera switches over to Steel, Jonah Hex, and Shazam giggling over Wilson’s comment. Both Steel and Jonah Hex starred in films which bombed, making Shazam’s appear🔯ance in the group a conundrum.

DC released the new Shazam trailer as part of their San Diego Comic-Con Hall H presentation, with critics and fans showing interest in the film. Either DC doesn’t have high expectations for Shazam, or they’re making fun of how the public used to perceive his characte🍰r.
