Recap / Teen Titans Go! S3 E28: Batman v Teen Titans: Dark Injustice

Go To

Because of the sheer unkindness of the pranks they pull on each other, Raven tries to convince the humiliating jokes on April Fools' Day to stop. However, the Titans continue the pranks, which severely damages their trust for each other, and of course their bodies, too.

Tropes:

  • Accidental Truth: Raven disbelieves the Titan's prank about a giant Booger Monster attacking Jump City. It turns out to be true.
  • Almost Kiss: Done twice.
    • Starfire goes to kiss Robin, only to punch him in the gut as a April Fool's joke.
    • Then in the ending, the two couples - Robin (now Nightwing) and Starfire, and Beast Boy and Raven - begin to kiss... only for it to be an April Fools Joke.
  • April Fools' Plot: The first April Fool's episode so far.
  • Bait-and-Switch Credits: Though this is justified since it's an April Fools' Day episode.
  • Breaking the Fellowship: Subverted in the ending. The Titans was going to go on their separate ways after the destruction of Jump City...only to shout April Fool's to the audience.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: The Titans shouting "April Fool's" to the audience.
  • Comedic Sociopathy: The Titans' (except for Raven) pranking each other are this to the fullest and they are okay with it.
  • Cry Laughing: Robin laughs at the Titans' prank about his parents returning while crying at the same time.
  • Dude, Not Funny!: Raven's reaction to the Titans' constant pranks.
  • Kick the Dog: By far the cruelest prank in the episode is when Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Starfire trick Robin into getting himself in a room full of tapeā€¦ by telling him that his long-dead parents are alive and waiting for him in the room.
  • Never Trust a Title: While Batman does appear, it's only a cameo appearance.
  • Non-Indicative Name: The episode's title is this since it's not even a parody of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but an April Fool's episode.
  • Not So Above It All: Raven spends the episode as the Only Sane Woman up until the final scene, where she admits she loves the holiday and her aloofness was an act in order to set up the prank on the show's audience.
  • Only Sane Woman: Raven until the ending.
  • Whoopee Cushion: Robin uses it on Starfire, Beast Boy, and Cyborg as an April Fools prank.
  • With Friends Like These...: The other Titans for pulling cruel pranks on each other as Raven points out.
