Titans East

    Aqualad 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20190919_183456.png
Voiced by: Wil Wheaton

  • Adaptational Villainy: This Aqualad doesn't care for the wellbeing of his marine friends except for some shrimp and “Mr. Belvedere”, and seems to view them as expendable tools.
  • The Beastmaster: Much like the original series he has full control over marine life, but unlike the original series he treats them like slaves.
  • The Casanova: In this series, not only is he a Chick Magnet, but he also acts like he owns every girl who is attracted to him.
  • A Day in the Limelight: After initially appearing as a recurring background character, he gets his own episodes focusing on him in “Pirates”, “Flashback”, and “Rocks and Water”.
  • Jerkass: In this series, he treats the sea animals as if they were servants to the point of feeding them to the sharks to impress Raven. And he later straight up tries to kill Raven and Beast Boy alongside Terra.
  • Love at First Sight: To Raven, after she takes off the hood.
  • Making a Splash: Has water based powers.
  • Pirate: At the end of "Pirates".
  • Tall, Dark, and Handsome: He's a good-looking guy who's tall and has black hair.
  • Unexplained Recovery: He is crushed in “Snuggle Time”, but continues to appear in subsequent episodes unharmed.

    Más y Menos 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20190919_183555.png
Voiced by: Freddy Rodriguez

  • A Day in the Limelight: Both of them in “Mas y Menos”.
  • Eloquent in My Native Tongue: They only speak Spanish.
  • Kid Hero: The youngest heroes in the series, before the Powerpuff Girls showed up.
  • Nice Guys: They believe in the true meaning of being as from the heart, unlike Robin, who says that it's just about taking all the glory.
  • Phlebotinum Overload: They build up power while apart. If kept apart for too long, it has the potential to build beyond their ability to control it, which could destroy the Earth.
  • Super-Speed: Their superpower is being able to move extremely fast.
  • Supreme Chef: Both of them are excellent cooks when it comes to Spanish food.
  • Tag Along Kid: They're very young compared to most other heroes.
  • The Unfavorite: Menos, to Robin because Menos = Negativity, meaning he'll only slow Más down.
  • Unexplained Recovery: They are both crushed in “Snuggle Time”, but appear unharmed in subsequent episodes.
  • Wonder Twin Powers: Their super speed only works when they are in contact with each other.

    Speedy 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ttg_speedy185_2300.png
Voiced by: Scott Menville

  • Adaptational Wimp: A fair bit more weaker than the usual Speedy. Considering Robin was able to take him down twice, when they were evenly matched in the original series, especially taking into account this version of Robin's own increased wimp factors.
  • Divergent Character Evolution: Inverted. While he has some distinction from Robin in the 2003 cartoon, in this continuity he's deliberately made to look a lot more like Robin then before and even has the same voice actor this time.
  • Expressive Mask: Much like Robin, his mask changes shape to match his emotions.
  • Identical Stranger: With the exception of the hair, Robin and Speedy are physically exactly the same. Robin is even able to perfectly disguise as Speedy by wearing his costume and a wig.
  • The Rival: To Robin in sidekicking, heroing and Starfire's affection.
  • Unexplained Recovery: He is crushed in “Snuggle Time”, but shows up alive and well in subsequent episodes.
  • Trick Arrow: His gimmick is having different arrows for every occaison, though they aren't really shown in this series.

Batman family

    Batgirl

    Batman 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20190919_183837.png
Voiced by: Khary Payton (TV series), Jimmy Kimmel (movie), Kevin Conroy ("The Real Orangins")


  • Abusive Parents: To some extent. Robin, who is technically Batman's adopted son, is absolutely terrified of Batman because he apparently punishes Robin corporeally.
  • Adaptational Comic Relief: This version of Batman is far more laid-back and jokey that his usual dark, brooding self. This is given a lampshade in "Real Orangins" when the titans refuse to believe Robin's story involving a grim, gritty Batman when the one in their show is right by them cackling away with Gordon.
  • The Cameo: Both in pictures on the walls in Titans Tower, among other things, and has made a few quick gag appearances in person.
  • Comically Serious: If he's not in the background with Commissioner Gordon Batman will likely show up and silently glare contrasting with the silliness of everyone else.
  • Cool Car: The Batmobile. Batman has Robin's driver's license suspended after Robin crashes it.
  • A Day in the Limelight: He gets to be more than a background character in “Sidekick”, the movie, “Thanksgiving”, “TV Knight”, “TV Knight 2”, “The Cruel Giggling Ghoul”, “Justice Leagues Next Top Talent Idol Star”, “Two Parter”, and “TV Knight 3”.
  • Gasshole: Always seems to be burping a lot.
  • Heroes Gone Fishing: He is frequently seen hanging out with Commissioner Gordon.
  • Implacable Man: Played for Laughs in the movie when a Brainwashed and Crazy Batman pursues the Titans, they are unable to knock him off their tail no matter what they do, with each vehicle they destroy resulting in Batman pulling out another one and continuing chase.
    Starfire: There is no stopping the Batman.
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: This Batman is usually treated like a joke and only used as a comic relief Recurring Extra. However the movie finally features the true badass, unstoppable Batman when he gets Brainwashed and Crazy.
  • The Quiet One: For a considerable amount of the show, he hardly speaks at all. He has, however, burped and can be heard laughing.
  • Recurring Extra: Seems to be a Running Gag in the show.
  • Suddenly Speaking: He finally gets voiced in the movie by Jimmy Kimmel.
  • They Killed Kenny Again: He is often killed off, only to return alive and well later for the sake of comedy. Trigon turns him into a turkey in “Thanksgiving” and the Titans except Cyborg and some rats and Trigon eat him. In “Snuggle Time” a laser splits him in half starting with his crotch.
  • Those Two Guys: With Commissioner Gordon.

Doom Patrol

    In general 
  • Adapted Out: This version of the Doom Patrol does not have Mento as a member, which is ironic considering that the 2003 cartoon omitted the Chief and had Mento serve as the Doom Patrol's leader in his place. They also follow the 2003 cartoon incarnation's example of being based primarily on the Arnold Drake roster and not using any members of the team who were introduced in Paul Kupperberg's run and beyond.
  • Adaptational Late Appearance: The Doom Patrol in the 2003 cartoon first appeared in the fifth season, while this version doesn't appear until the sixth season.
  • Gender-Equal Ensemble: Without Beast Boy, the team has two males (the Chief and Robotman) and two females (Elasti-Girl and Negative Girl).
  • Truer to the Text: While the 2003 cartoon omitted the Chief and had Mento take his place as leader of the Doom Patrol, this version has the Chief back to being the team's leader.

    The Chief 
Voiced by: Larry Kenney


  • Abusive Parents: He surgically transplants his oldest adoptive son's brain into a robot body and permanently transforms his adoptive daughter into a negative energy being, which his children only consented to due to being offered solutions to their problems and not fully knowing what they were agreeing to.
  • Adaptation Dye-Job: Traditionally depicted with either red hair or gray hair in the comics, this version of Niles Caulder instead has white hair.
  • Composite Character: In an inverse of Mento taking his role as the Doom Patrol's leader in the 2003 cartoon, this continuity has the Chief take Mento's role as Beast Boy's adoptive father.
  • Genius Cripple: He's intelligent and wheelchair-bound.
  • Heroic Comedic Sociopath: He made Robotman and Negative Girl what they are now to help them with their problems and excuses the drastic measures of putting Cliff's brain in a robot body and transforming Negative Girl into a negative energy being under the grounds that it wouldn't have been as fun as just teaching Cliff to dance better and sharing his arcade tickets with Negative Girl. It's obvious he just wanted an excuse to irreversibly change his adoptive children's bodies and it's played entirely for humor.
  • Related in the Adaptation: In addition to being Beast Boy's adoptive father in this continuity rather than Mento, he is by extension also the adoptive father to Robotman and Negative Girl.

    Elasti-Girl 
Voiced by: Cree Summer


  • Race Lift: This incarnation of Rita Farr is black rather than Caucasian.
  • Related in the Adaptation: Because Robotman and Negative Girl are Beast Boy's adoptive siblings in this continuity, she is by extension Robotman and Negative Girl's adoptive mother as well as Beast Boy's.

    Robotman 
Voiced by: Flula Borg


  • Adaptational Backstory Change: Instead of his brain being put into a robot body by the Chief after his original body was mangled in an accident (which was later revealed to have been arranged by the Chief in the first place), this version of Cliff Steele apparently had his brain transplanted into a robot body in order to beat a rival at a dance competition, the Chief feeling that doing so is cooler than simply teaching Cliff better dance moves.
  • Adaptational Nationality: This version of Cliff Steele is German.
  • Related in the Adaptation: He is the Chief's oldest adoptive son as well as Beast Boy and Negative Girl's adoptive brother.

    Negative Girl 
Voiced by: Rachel Dratch


  • Adaptational Backstory Change: Larry Trainor became Negative Man when an accident caused his body to become radioactive (requiring him to wear chemically-treated bandages for everyone else's protection) and gave him the power to have an energy being fly out of his body to act on his behalf. Negative Girl instead became how she is when the Chief used a ray to turn her into a negative energy being just so she could use her powers to beat an arcade game and win enough tickets to get a teddy bear she wanted.
  • Age Lift: While Larry Trainor and Valentina Vostok were adults, Negative Girl is but a child in this continuity.
  • Gender Flip: If she's not a de-aged Valentina Vostok, then she's a de-aged and female Larry Trainor.
  • Lighter and Softer: Instead of dying, the consequences of Negative Girl's energy self staying outside of her body too long is that she'll wet herself.
  • Related in the Adaptation: She is the Chief's adoptive daughter as well as Beast Boy and Robotman's adoptive sister.

Other heroes

    B'wana Beast 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wana_beast_8746.png

  • Fusion Dance: He can fuse any two animals together. His demonstration with Silkie and a rabbit led to him being rejected from joining the Titans.
  • Loincloth: Cyborg makes fun of him for wearing a loincloth.
  • Top-Heavy Guy: Like most of the "muscular" characters on this show, his legs are spindly compared to his huge upper body.
  • Unfortunate Names: Cyborg keeps on making fun of his name during his audition.
  • The Voiceless: He doesn't speak.

    Detective Chimp 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20190919_185450.png
Voiced by: Scott Menville

    Kid Flash 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20190919_185432.png
Voiced by: Will Friedle

  • The Ace: Robin accuses him of being a "one trick pony", due to only having his speed, but it turns out due to his speed allowing him to learn quickly he is able to rapidly amass as many talents as Robin has.
  • Adaptational Jerkass: Kid Flash is presented as more antagonistic and egotistical in this show.
  • Always Second Best: Robin always finds himself overshadowed by Kid Flash at everything.
  • Butt-Monkey: After his first appearance in "Multiple Trick Pony" ends with Robin nailing him in the shin to cap off their rivalry, many of the episodes that have Kid Flash show up result in Robin bashing his shins in.
  • Characterization Marches On: In his second major appearance during "The Streak," he becomes much more petty and arrogant of a character as his feud with Robin heats up more, rubbing his wins in his rival's face and trying to emotionally and psychologically destroy Robin.
  • A Day in the Limelight: While initially being a background character, he has more prominent appearances in “The Streak”, “Flashback”, and “Multiple Trick Pony”.
  • Defeat by Modesty: When he first shows up, he steals the clothes Robin is wearing right off him, leaving him with nothing but a cape to cover himself with.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Implied; his less-than-stellar moments all involved Robin, and he seems out to get back at him for acting like a snob when he was nothing but polite.
  • Female Gaze: His butt is far better than Robin's. Even Starfire likes to check it out for how tight it is.
  • Nice Guy: He's an decent guy to everyone but Robin and later on, Beast Boy.
  • No Name Given: It's not stated if he's supposed to be Wally West or Bart Allen.
  • The Rival: Robin forms a bitter rivalry with him for being better at everything.
  • Story-Breaker Power: As soon as he shows up, all of the Titans' problems get solved in a flash.
  • Super-Speed: The power of moving extremely fast comes with being a speedster.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: After his first appearance depicting him as a modest and nice guy, his second appearance onwards has him become jerky and smug towards Robin and his temporary team.

    Powerpuff Girls 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20190919_185519.png

  • Action Girl: Well they are the Powerpuff Girls.
  • Badass Adorable: Young children with superpowers.
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Blossom is Red, Bubbles is Blue, and Buttercup is Green.
  • Foil: To the Titans, being heroes who actually care about fighting crime unlike the incompetent Titans who mess around. Specifically each girl has a Titans counterpart. Bubbles to Starfire (ditzy nice girl), Blossom to Robin (Control Freak leader), Buttercup to Raven (tomboyish tough girl).
  • Good Versus Good: The entire premise of the crossover. Though it's more of a case of White-and-Grey Morality considering the Titans are barely heroes.
  • Just a Kid: The Titans keeps treating them like babies.
  • Straight Man: All three of them act as this to the Titans.

    Robins 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_other_robins.png
Voiced by: Scott Menville

Tropes applying to all of them

  • Always Someone Better: All of them seem to do better than the main Robin, much to his dismay.
  • No Name Given: As with the other heroes in the series, their secret identities aren't revealed. But two of them resemble Tim Drake and Carrie Kelly, while the third resembles the Golden/Silver Age Robin (Dick Grayson). Possibly averted, as recent CN promos actually call the former two Tim Drake and Carrie Kelly. Classic Robin is still just called Classic Robin though. He may be meant to represent a Pre-Crisis Jason Todd, but it's not entirely clear.
  • One-Steve Limit: Hilariously averted. They're all called Robin, even by the other Robins.

"Classic Robin"

Carrie Kelly

Tim Drake

  • The Comically Serious: He's a dark serious character in an otherwise comical world, maybe more so than this world's Batman.
  • Composite Character: He's the wearing Tim Drake's second Robin suit and is straight up called Tim Drake in promos, but his personality more closely resembles Jason Todd rather like "Timmy Todd" from Batman: The Animated Series, from whence the red and black Robin costume originated.
  • The Stoic: He's very serious about everything and never smiles.

    Vixen 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ttg_vixen120_6389.png
  • Animal Eyes: Has orange eyes with cat-like pupils.
  • My Instincts Are Showing: Would've been on the Titans, but she ate a worm while using the powers of an eagle and was rejected.
  • Power Copying: Can copy the traits of any nearby animal.
  • The Voiceless: The only sound she makes during her appearance was an eagle squawk.

    Wonder Twins 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3123029-wonder_twins_2815.jpg
Jayna voiced by: Tara Strong
Zan voiced by: Khary Payton

  • Butt-Monkey: While Jayna fights crime with the Titans, Zan gets stuck as a receptionist. He was only let on the team because Jayna needs him to use her powers.
  • Half-Identical Twins: The only differences between them are their voices, their genders, and their physiques.
  • Hartman Hips: Jayna has some curvy legs.
  • Leotard of Power: Both of them wear one.
  • Pointy Ears: Both of them sport elf-like ears.
  • Replacement Goldfish: Joined the Titans after Beast Boy was fired for an episode and the Titans needed another animal hero. Cyborg initially felt this way toward Jayna but ultimately he and the team came to like having her.
  • Skin Tone Sclerae: Purple eyes to match their purple skin
  • What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: The Titans are impressed with Jayna's animal transformations. Zan's water transformations? Not so much.
  • Wonder Twin Powers: Well they are the Trope Namers, so of course their powers activate by coming into contact with each other.
  • Uncertain Doom: Their episode ends with them riding off a cliff while in the forms of an octopus and an ice unicycle. It's not really clear whether this killed them or only got them injured.

    Young Justice 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20190919_185538.png
Aqualad voiced by: Khary Payton

  • Art Evolution: They later appear in the movie with new designs that fit the Teen Titans Go! artstyle.
  • Art Shift: Kaldur, Superboy, and Miss Martian retain their designs from Young Justice (2010), just losing out on all the shading they had.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Their discussion with the Titans to tell them to get more serious results with the Titans getting so serious that they end up getting dangerously destructive during one mission, and later they end up disbanding due to getting so serious that they get into a massive fight over a juice box, albeit temporarily thanks to Status Quo Is God.
  • Mythology Gag:
    • Although Speedy and Kid Flash aren't members of the team in this version, they do associate with them in the summer camp arc, in addition to a reference to Artemis and Wally's romantic relationship in a Valentine's Day episode.
    • The hostility between them and Robin is likely a reference to how Robin was one of the founding members and a leader of Young Justice, especially in the television show.
  • Non-Standard Character Design: They use their designs from Young Justice. This is changed in the movie, where they have designs fitting the Teen Titans Go! artstyle.
  • Official Couple: One of the background references says "Artemis + Wally".
  • One-Steve Limit: Aqualad is already an existing character in the Teen Titans franchise, being the superhero name of the Atlantean called Garth, but Kaldur'ahm also goes by this name. The issue was not present in Young Justice since Garth went by the name "Tempest" instead.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Kaldur lays Robin out for their comical and nonsensical way of heroics, claiming that it's a mockery of what heroics should be.
  • Team Member in the Adaptation: Inverted. Robin, Speedy, and Kid Flash aren't members due to being pre-existing members of the Teen Titans and having different versions of them exist as members of Young Justice might not have been as easy to excuse under Rule of Funny.
  • Two Guys and a Girl: Their team is reduced to this, with Miss Martian being the only girl.
  • The Voiceless: Superboy and Miss Martian don't have dialogue.

    Aquaman 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20190919_185653.png
Voiced by: Eric Bauza
  • A Day in the Limelight: Ordinarily appears only in cameos, but has a bigger role in the movie and "Justice Leagues Next Top Talent Idol Star".
  • Adaptational Jerkass: In "Finding Aquaman", he abandons the Titans to die in quite an un-heroic fashion.
  • Chick Magnet: To the point where Starfire doesn't mind being paired with him in "Matched". She does admire his physique.
  • Uncertain Doom: Towards the end of "Finding Aquaman", the Titans wonder where Aquaman could be. Black Manta's cat then spits out Aquaman's shrunken trident, implying he got eaten but a body isn't shown either way.

    Commisioner Gordon

Voiced by: Lil Yachty

    Superman 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20190919_185812.png
Voiced by: Nicolas Cage

  • Casting Gag: He's voiced by Nic Cage, which is meant as a nod to Tim Burton's ill-fated Superman Lives movie, which would have starred Cage as the title character.
  • A Day in the Limelight: After several cameos, has a larger role in the movie, "TV Knight 3", "Two Parter", and "Justice Leagues Next Top Talent Idol Star".

    Wonder Woman 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20190919_185853.png
Voiced by: Halsey (Teen Titans Go! To the Movies), Tara Strong (Don't Press Play)

  • Ascended Extra: Like Green Lantern, her first actual speaking role comes in the movie, where she has a more significant part than usual.
  • A Day in the Limelight: After several cameos, she has a larger role in the movie, "TV Knight 3", "Two Parter", and "Justice Leagues Next Top Talent Idol Star".

    The Flash (Barry Allen)

    Martian Manhunter 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20190919_185928.png

    The Atom 
Voiced by: Patton Oswalt

  • Amusing Injuries: Upon arriving at Batman's movie premiere, he is promptly stepped on by Robin, who barely gives it a second thought. The next we see of him, he's covered in bruises and bandages and even missing a few teeth.
