TT Season 5 DVD news! (also: TTG #54 preview; Glen Murakami's Ben 10:AF interview; & more) Posted by Butch on April 29, 2008 @ 11:39 pm EST |

 Good news this week for the Teen Titans Season 5 DVD! Instead of the previously announced July 22nd release date, the "Teen Titans: The Complete Fifth Season" DVD is now slated to release (much earlier) on July 8th, 2008!
Also, new info on the DVD extras has been revealed. The "Top Secret Files" bonus feature will include villain profiles for: Control Freak, Bob & The Source, Billy Numerous, Mother Mae-Eye, and Trigon, according to a WHV press release provided by World's Finest. An image of the DVD's back cover is also up at TVShowsOnDVD.com. In related news, some early animated Titans adventures can be found in the upcoming DC Super Heroes: The Filmation Adventures DVD, slated to release this August. It will feature Fab Fivers Aqualad, Kid Flash, Speedy, and Wonder Girl (sans Robin, who's busy with Batman) in three animated episodes. Mark your calendars for these two DVDs with animated Titans, new and old, coming in a few months!  "Teen Titans Go!" writer J. Torres provides an awesome 5 page preview for TTG #54, which hits stores tomorrow. Do we also need to mention that TTG #54 is the second-to-last issue of the entire "Teen Titans Go!" series?
"Teen Titans Go!" #54 introduces Cassie Sandsmark (aka. Wonder Girl the 2nd) into the TTG universe. And if that's not enough, it seems we finally get a true "Winner Takes All" tournament for the Titan girls (with Pantha and Bumblebee joining in)! This and more in TTG #54, available tomorrow, so check out the preview and pick it up! (Reviews & feedback? Join the TTG #54 discussion at our forums)  Remember that cool Robin bank Monogram released a long while back? Our buddy Matt, owner of Legions of Gotham, is selling its (one and only) prototype sculpture, as created by Monogram's model artists.
It's literally one of a kind, so click here if you're interested in it or other rare & event-exclusive Batman and DC Animated related items, as Matt's a big collector of official product prototypes and the like.  Newsarama has interviewed Teen Titans producer Glen Murakami about his new series, Ben 10: Alien Force. As a revamp on the original Ben 10, Glen discusses the natural backlash against "Alien Force" from fans of the first show. He likens the reaction to the same ones he'd received for his past animated series, including Teen Titans.
Glen Murakami: "After doing Titans, I just didn’t want to repeat myself; that style or that approach. In a way it was the same situation when I first approached Titans, where it was decided to do the DC style in a way that wasn’t done before, that’s one of the reasons we went a little bit more anime with that. After that, I didn’t want to do the same thing again. It just didn’t seem appropriate. With Ben 10, we are deciding to go a little more like X-Files or Outer Limits. That was the thinking behind that." The interview includes a short history of Glen's work in TV animation, the various early directions for "Ben 10: Alien Force", the reasons for some changes (ie. combining abilities for new alien Swamp Fire, etc.), series continuity, and more. Also, having Ashley Johnson and Greg Cipes (the voices of Terra and Beast Boy) as supporting characters Gwen and Kevin wasn't directly due to their work on Teen Titans. Though, it is nice to see romance sparking between the voice-acting pair's characters, for the third time now. Those crazy kids. Click here for Glen's full interview at Newsarama, who also have a thorough review for the "Ben 10: Alien Force" premiere. Not watching yet? Tune in! |
