Teen Titans: Another Movie About Comic I've Never Heard Of
Black Guy, Asian Girl, and White Guy: Making the world safe for political correctness
If you write a script that's really good but no one will buy it, your best bet is to hire an artist and make it into a comic book. Comic books make Hollywood execs cream their shorts (if, of course, they wore shorts, which they don't because that would be unprofessional). Case in point, Teen Titans, which will be adapted by Warner Bros.
If your first response was, "What the f*** is Teen Titans?", well then you're only a pair of rippling biceps and a heart of gold away from being just like me.
The Teen Titans first appeared in 1964 as a sort of junior Justice League, comprising Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Wonder Girl and Speedy, the respective sidekicks of A-list heroes Batman, Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow.
Oh great, so it's the Tom & Jerry Kids of the comic world? God I hated that cartoon.
The comic series reached X-Men-style success in the 1980s, when the team was relaunched in a new comic with the characters no longer kids but college-age adults and the stories explored more mature themes. The series also saw the addition of Cyborg, Starfire and Raven, original characters who weren't sidekicks, while the character of Robin matured into one called Nightwing.
There you have it, nerds, I'd never heard about this before - prepare to flame! Knives out!
