Now that I've watched all the currently aired episodes of
The Batman, I've started on
Teen Titans, all as part of my ongoing "Do Absolutely Anything Other Than Work" initiative.
I've watched half of the first season now, and so far...I like. I can see why the DC Comics hardcore expecting another
Justice League didn't go for it, but the blend of stylish action and childish but witty comedy are working for me so far, and whilst the forays into wacky anime visuals don't always work, they definitely establish a unique tone. The characters are really endearing too; Raven has a great deadpan delivery (thank you, Tara Strong!
) and whilst I feel they place her in a damsel-in-distress role too often (she's a superhero, isn't she?), Starfire is wholly adorable in her oblivious naivete.

You just want to give her a big hug.
