Teen Titans (TV Series) - Impact On The Comics

Impact On The Comics

Much like X-Men: Evolution and Batman: the Animated Series, the series has had an impact on the comics that initially inspired it. During DC's 52 event, Beast Boy adopted the purple and black outfit he wore on the show and several years later was also given the pointed ears and fanged teeth originated by the series. In addition, the future Cyborg shown in the Titans Tomorrow storyline had the same armor pattern that was worn by his animated counterpart. The characters Mas Y Menos were brought into the comics during 52 as new recruits to the Titans, and later made a small cameo in the Final Crisis limited series. During 52, Joto was renamed "Hotspot" to match his cartoon counterpart. The most recent Aquagirl wore a costume with a similar design to the cartoon version of Aqualad. Writer Will Pfeifer brought Billy Numerous into the comics for a brief cameo during his tenure on Catwoman. Following the death of the original Gizmo, (who was an adult in the comics), a second Gizmo inspired by the cartoon's adolescent version was created for the DC Special: Cyborg mini-series. Cinderblock was brought into the comics during a battle with the newest roster of the Titans. Elements of the show's redesign of Cheshire, specifically her grinning white and red cat mask, would later be used in her design for the Young Justice television series.

Famous quotes containing the words impact on and/or impact:

    Too many existing classrooms for young children have this overriding goal: To get the children ready for first grade. This goal is unworthy. It is hurtful. This goal has had the most distorting impact on five-year-olds. It causes kindergartens to be merely the handmaidens of first grade.... Kindergarten teachers cannot look at their own children and plan for their present needs as five-year-olds.
    James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
