As far as influential superhero shows go, Cartoon Network's Teen Titans was right up there with Batman: The Animated Series. Aired during what is generally regarded as the peak of the Toonami era, the original show quickly became renowned for its focus on character development, anime-inspired comedy bits and distinct story arcs. Over time, Teen Titans became a bonafide hit with the teen demographic, ending its successful original run after five full seasons and a TV movie. Thanks to the gushing word-of-mouth praise and constant reruns, the series' reputation only grew as the years went by.
Following the success of DC's New Teen Titans shorts in 2012, Cartoon Network looked at the Teen Titans property and decided it was high time for a revival. Shortly thereafter, it was announced that Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and Beast Boy would make a return in the spin-off called Teen Titans Go! However, despite the original voice cast returning to their respective roles, Teen Titans Go! had no actual continuity to the previous series.

Let’s discuss a little bit of comic book history for starters. The most iconic superhero in all of American comic book history has got to be Superman.

He would remain as the blueprint for many superheroes for years to come as the atypical white American male. But as the years go by there were comic book heroes that came out that go against this archetype such as Wonder

The movie highlights the relationships of the black and white people, and how they learned to interact with each other in a time when this was not the way of life. It brings up a number of questions throughout, of what is right and what is wrong, and really challenges the characters, making it a very interesting movie to watch. I have seen this movie many times, and each time I feel like I get something new out of it. It is a movie that can be used as a teaching tool, it does a great job of interpreting not only what was happening in the United States of America at that time, but social psychology concepts through real life situations.

“How do groups play a role in a community or individually?” “How can leadership and roles build positive relationships” Hi my name is Athena and today I'll be examining the role of individuals and groups played in the movie “Remember the Titans” In “Remember the Titans,” the main group is a sporting group, specifically a competitive high school football team from Alexandria, Virginia in the 1970’s. The team formation was driven by geography, shared interests, and a common goal during a turbulent period.

The Golden Age of Comics was perhaps the greatest era in comic book history. Many people loved the comics during this time period because they were all stories about good triumphing over evil.

The elements of tough cowboys fighting Indians while riding their horses was made known to the genre's conventions.
However, this popularity has fluctuated throughout history. In the past few decades, demand for comics in the print media had been falling, in part due to the successes of other children 's media, such as cartoons. “Our biggest fear was that that audience was going to get to a point where we weren 't able to build it up again,” says Dan DiDio, co-publisher of DC Comics, “and a lot of what we do would be branded lost because there was nobody out there reading it" (Martin 14). Luckily, comic creators realized that the stories were perfect for screen adaptations: "they 're full of spectacle [and] adventure with an emotional arc for the hero. That 's what movies have always been about” (Humphries). The promise of lucrative merchandise sales and cross-promotion undoubtedly encouraged production, as well. Comic books were first adapted for television in the 40s and 50s, and met with huge success. Thus, superhero television programs set the stage for the inevitable point when comics took to the big screen with the first Superman movie in 1978 (Humphries). This cinematic moment ushered in a tricking of other superhero feature films, which eventually became the flood of superhero films that is taking place in the 21st
