That's so Raven. ;)
Its the future I can see
that's so raven...it's so mysterious to me
Lmfao XD
well played
LOL
You didn't really explain her origin, just the origin of how the New Teen Titans were formed.
Raven is my favorite Titan (in both the comics and the animated series). Her backstory is one of the darkest in DC history. I really liked her in the show, especially her dry sense of humor.
Raven, beast boy, robin, cyborg need their own movies
Dont you think trouble in tokyo is awsome enough?
And Starfire needs her own movie.
Cyborg will be in the new dawn of justice movie so he may get one soon
I think only Dick Grayson and Cyborg will get movies someday because they have ties to the Justice League.
***** they might use Cyborg's movie(if it happens) to wink at the possibility of a raven or teen titans movie, and I mean live action not animated.
Tara Strong's voice acting for raven in the 'go' cartoon is probably the best thing about that show.
But I can't understand how she sounds so different in Injustice when it's Tara playing her then as well, it could be as simple as it's an older raven but Cyborg doesn't sound older. And he's voiced by the same guy as well.
They decided to give Raven a more demonic tone. If I remember, haven't played it in a long time, it seemed she was embracing that side more.
redoctoberfruit It was supposed to bet closer to the comics Raven. The animated one had a slightly different personality.
Makes sense, it was just distracting as it was difficult to work out what she was saying at times.
Rhys Causon I had no problem but I can understand how it can be difficult for some.
I think I heard that Raven had some type of voice changer to make her sound more demonic. Or they just edited Tara's voice after she was recorded.
Why not make Teen Titans a movie like Suicide Squad?
Paul Francis Goneda Two words warner brother they have little faith in teen titans being aimed at anything other then young children because they take the word Teen too serious
KON- EL Why not just go for DC's "Titans" if they want a more mature less off putting title.
I could see it in big bold letters on the Silver Screen.
aquamarine11500 Or just the Titans
Paul Francis Goneda they did its called teen titans trouble in tokyo
clay fuller hes talking about a live action movie not an anime inspired one
her greatest power is those legs.
Them Legs
+hithummah Teen Titans Go! fans in a nutshell.
+hithummah 3:23 that receding hairline, now thats super.
It's those legs...
Lady Legasus?
Raven is my all time favorite Teen Titan and DC hero!
ikr she's so cool!
Same here :-)
DemonationDog sameeeeee
Mine too!
Raven is my favorite hands down, my favorite comic of her's was the Blood Brotherhood...something like that...and I kinda wish they'd animate that storyline.
Raven & Starfire were my favorites....
Raven is pretty hot for an animated figure
AGREED!
very much agreed
Yes.
creep
your sick! I agree......
Raven has always been and always will be in my top list of my favorite DC heros.
We do not speak of The Show That Will Not Be Named. There is only Teen Titans.
Raven is my favorite Superhero by far. People tend to overlook just how badass she is.
Azarath metrion ZINTHOS
Nice thing about the 2003-2006 animated series, she actually looked like a teenager.
They all did basically but in the original 80s comics most of them were at least 17-18 years old
Raven looks way older in the original comics than I thought she would've. I prefer the teen version in the show.
ThorSon525 I just want to know why they gave her pale grey skin in the show When her skin was tanned in the comics
They explained that a long time ago. Said it made more of an argument for her being shut in her room reading books all the time. Annoyed me too, but not as much as the issues they had with Robin.
ThorSon525 Still though even if shes half demon no human could ever truly have pale grey skin just pale white but then again im pretty sure pale white is more creepy than pale grey on a side note I really feel they should have had robin become nightwing after like the third or second season seeing as in the old 80s book he was only robin up until issue 30 The Judas contract (Doubt he would have worn his disco inspired outfit but still would have like to see him as nightwing
Why in the f*ck would you show a clip from that monstrosity Teen Titans Go! in this video?
i know right
Luke Smith Yeah.
god that show fucking ruined everything
storm scorpion Yep.
Its a comedy arc but its still lame
They bastardized Teen Titans with Teen Titans Go! !!!! I was so exited when CN mentioned that teen titans was gonna comeback I thought it would be a teen rendition
*new rendition of the old Teen Titans and was horribly disappointed with what they did to it.
dj robert TNT is making a new live-action show based on the team. It's going to be called "Titans" and the pilot is already in the making.
***** Wait... don't get too hyped. It's not green-lighted yet. But yes it's true!
If the pilot is a success we will get _AT LEAST_ Nightwing, Raven and Starfire on the screen. Sadly Cy will be on the Sups vs. Bats movie, so I think he isn't going to be there, at least not in the first season, while Beastboy is damn expensive to make...
However I have high hopes for Donna, Kid Flash, Lilith and so on! Let's hope! It can't be worse than TT: GO anyway! ;)
The release date isn't confirmed yet, but not sooner than mid 2015. Supergirl is getting a live action show too by the way, it's on CW! And Machinima got the rights for a new Justice League cartoon. DC surprised the show-cast with the news, was fairly funny to see it!^^ They said it's going to be based on the movie _Justice League War_ and have the same dark-greedy style (which means we get more Cy, even if he's not on Titans).
. . .
I hope you don't die of nerdgasm now! X'D
ADE Marc Alexander i don't care too much about beast boy not being on it. hs my least favourite teen titan anyway
"They bastardized Teen Titans with Teen Titans Go! !!!!" That's funny. Many comic book fans will say that Teen Titans was bastardized by the first cartoon. I like the old comics, the first cartoon, and (GASP!) the second cartoon.
i wonder if the disney tv show " That So Raven"'s name came from raven because the main character is portrayed as an adolescent female who spontaneously receives visions from the future and she can not control this power.
just a thought......
No, the actress on that was really named RAVEN. It was coincidence the two share the same name and similiar abilities.
TherealRNO nah that was just one of the lifes raven lived there both the same person
THEFurfoot No. The superhero RAVEN is a fictional comic book character from DC Comics. Raven Symone (sp?) is a real-life actress.
TherealRNO WOW REALLY THANKS I COULDNT TELL THE DIFFRENCE being blind has its problems
THEFurfoot *facepalm* Sometimes, I really hate trolling sarcasm.
In many ways, Raven is the heart and soul of the teen titans (at least that's what I think), she brought them together, they all came to love her, she's arguably the most powerful on the team and she's probably the most selfless and the most protective of them, does anyone agree?
Its great seeing Raven orgins. She is my favorite superhero
Why does everyone love Raven all of a sudden? Oh well, the more fans the merrier.
The Frenchy Incarnate i think it's common for people to like people who say funny stuff and get angry easy-ish. Raven WAS my favorite character 2-3 years ago.
I'm glad that this is out.
Raven is my favorite DC character c:
"A younger and more angst filled persona." You also forgot to mention better. I mean I love these characters in the comics but I'm convinced that all the best versions of the DC characters are their animated versions. Especially the Titans,
I loved the animated series but I feel that they ruined her
yea especially in teen titans go. that show is sooooooo good. everyone loves it :D
Tara Strong was a perfect casting choice who made the genius, if not obvious, decision to play her dead pan, brooding and with a "gravelly sound"
In the Justice League vs Teen Titans movie, Raven explains her backstory to Beast Boy
"Wait so our mom did it with Satan"
"His name is Trigon, but yes."
"But your mom TOTALLY did it with Satan"
Bofl yeah
Raven has been my favorite ever since the first time she appeared. I never read the comics but I have always loved her attitude and sarcasm.
dude, the teen titans animated series was the shit!
I loved that show!
PromethiumOxide ikr
first, DC should make TEEN TITANS as a BigMovie .
then make Raven as a sequel-movie , i bet that would be greatest sequel evaaah~
+Kemal Maulana That may depend on how successful Justice League and it's solo movies are. Fingers crossed.
i prefer prequel
+Kemal Maulana They are thinking about it, according to some rumors.
They almost made a live-action tv show, but they pulled the plug on production. What a wasted opportunity.
There are a lot of DC characters that need their own movie before Raven. Shazam, Captain Atom, Dr Fate, Etrigan the Demon etc
3:23 whoever the artist is that decided giving Raven a manly face and a widow's peak that rivals Vegeta's should have never been hired by DC
Ikr, so disappointing T_T Next thing you know, she'll be claiming to be prince of all saiyans.
I would have corrected you and say she would be Princess, but with a face like that It could be a man. Ffs, at least she was acknowledged to be hot in the Teen Titans TV show!
leoncrazyman07 lol yeah, I heard she was pretty hot in New 52, but new 52 screwed everyone over anyways...
You can't even see her face in the new 52 so....
leoncrazyman07 Well I'm talking about without her weird mask....
Raven is my favourite Teen Titan, because she is so mysterious.
Love Raven, her apathetic side just speaks to me.
And i'm more of a Beastboy kind of guy myself .. Which makes sense with BeastBoy loving Raven haha
raven is more sexier then starfire
no way
MrMuffin1357
look again my friend she got more curves...they took time to draw her Starfire just got nice legs
"ENOUGH! We need to control our emotions." am I the only one thinking about professor Snape at this moment?
+Joachim Driesen Yes, actually, I think you are; based on the lack of response :P
+LordofFullmetal probably it's because I'm so excited for the New Harry Potter story ^^
Raven is by far the greatest super hero ever. I mean, she fights evil with the powers of demons and darkness. When you can use "evil" to defeat evil, you've pretty much become the most badass thing to ever exist. Seriously, I don't know how this girl ever lost a fight on the TV show, I mean, she's the most powerful character ever, and I think it's impossible to find a more perfectly rounded and emotionally deep character in any work than her. Brava Raven. May Teen Titans Go fail to extinguish the awesomeness that you will always possess.
Great, do Trigon or Jinx the next.
THAT'S SO RAVEN ~ IT'S THE FUTURE I CAN SEE~ THAT'S SO RAVEN
~ IT'S MYSTERIOUS TO ME (always catchy....
I second that for Jinx especially! She's one of my favourites along with Raven.
What about Starfire? Did they do one for her? I can't find it if they have...
They just made one.
jinx is totally different from the comics, they even whithewashed her
Raven is a lot more bad ass in the comics than the show
Why do you say this?
+Luigi K because it's true
Yeah but she still kicks ass!
She a lot more grown up too.
***** everyone has diff tastes. Personally, I like the comic and cartoon version despite the diff personalities she has in both. Many ppl in the 80s grew up fans of the comic Raven bc she was pacifistic, vulnerable, caring, and conflicted, whereas they disliked her cartoon counter part bc she's the stereotypical gothic chick.
She's my favorite Titan
1:00
Derpy Robin
xD
He is seeing the future! There...and over there.
XD Noticed it too haha!
Robin is drunk
What the hell robin is not drunk
I loved this! I've always been really interested in Raven's backstory, but I was always too lazy to actually research it fully :) Thanks for this!
Finally you guys did Raven. I was waiting FOREVER!!!!!
As a guy who didn't read a lot of comics and only watching DC cartoons, I am surprised to hear that Raven is the founder of Teen Titans. I thought Robin is the founder since he is the leader and Batman's disciple.
+Taufiq Othman Robin Is the founder of the Teen Titans. Raven helped to bring together the NEW Teen Titans. the second version of the team.
Kekkersboy Ah, I see. I misinterpreted the word 'new'. This is the second team formed to defeat Trigon.
We almost got through it without a clip from Teen Titans Go
Almost
Teen titans go should be cancelled and the original show teen titans from 2003 should be put back on. Who agrees?
Everybody that exists.
I do cause I'm a fan of teen titans ;D
Julissa Galeana i wish they would do that
I really miss Teen Titans 🙀😿
Same. It was a great, funny, action packed show, and it's a shame it was cancelled
Raven was my favorite character watching teen titans! starfire was my least favorite, Idk... for some reason her "bubbly-ness" was kinda annoying to me. But everyone has different opinions... but anyways... raven was awesome :)
Yeah! I totally LOVE Raven!
Thank you.
Yeah raven was AWESOME!
Me and you both. Raven all the way!
Raven117;D ;D;D:D:D:D:D:D:D::D:D::D:D:D:D:D:DD:
1:00, bottom panel, Derp Robin.

Can you guys do BeastBoy next?
Supervillian Origins: Red X
I think we should have an episode for character like Robin, who have multiple variations within the same universe... i know there's like 3 people who become Robin in the main series, Dick Grayson the acrobat, Tim Drake , and according to Wiki, at lest 3 more from there... It would be cool to oversee the ENTIRE history of the boy wonder and all the people who took his role...
Dick, Jason, Tim, Stephanie and Damian for the pre-New 52 were all Robin at one point in the main universe.
You're right, i checked the wiki as i was writing the comment... i just thought it would be pretty wicked to get a 15-ish minute video detailing the history of the entire Robin line, which robins fit in with certain teams (like young Justice and Teen Titans, or if they're in their own universes) and how each of them affected the series and the other characters within the series.
My favourite robin is Jason Todd mostly because he's red hood
John Samuel I liked him when he became the Red Hood in the Red Hood's debut appearance, but I'd say Dick is my favorite followed by Damian and then Tim.
John Samuel My favorite Robin is the one from "Holy Musical, B@man!":D
Been waiting for you guys to make a video about this for so long thank you
This told of Raven's first appearance, but it didn't really go into detail of her actual origins.
I thought the same thing, but Ask Mojo kinda sucks.
Newground games, anyone?
Come on you all know what I am talking about.
indeed
All hail Zone-sama!
Huke Chong *falls to knees and worships zone sama*
Awwww yeeeeeaaaaaah!!!! :D
Wow those are old.
Raven definitely had the most interesting stories in the Teen titans show of all the titans
Awesome! Raven is awesome! I actually have her first appearance comic too! Glad you guys got around to doing a video on her.
She's defiantly my favorite, and the way I see it, the most powerful of all the superhero's-unfortunately it seems to take so much energy to just control those powers her personality true potential are hindered.
***** Most powerful no....not even amongst the magic community powerful she is but not that strong
KON- EL says who?? She dose have a potential to be very powerful...even more powerful then you Superboy ^_^
Semaj Wilks Hmm that remains to be seen but yes she does have potential she is my good friend
+KON- EL she is one of the most powerful superheros ever and she is also considered to be on the same level of powerfulness as Dr Fate and Zatanna.
Serdil Eken Source? Or at the very least scans to prove your claim.
1980's New Teen Titans by Perez & Wolfman was freaking awesome! I was a huge X-Men fan and had wanted DC to come out with their own comparable team....man was I surprised when I went to the bookstore to pick up my new batch of comics.The freaking New Teen Titans! They were every bit as exciting as any X-Men adventure I had ever read before.Then the X-Men New Teen Titans crossover....I don't think I slept at all until that book came out.Anyways,the New Teen Titans rock big time! Oh hey before I forget,there's an awesome New Teen Titans mod for Freedom Force that let's you play all the cool characters against the likes of Deathstroke,etc.
+david white You just have had a good life.
Darlen
Well,it's been a rocky life but yeah I try and see the silver lining in stuff and have as much fun along the way....if not,what's the point really? :)
I think I would say that Raven is the breakout star of the Animated Series her and Jinx get a lot of 34
This video made me beyond happy. I watched the original animation when I was around three and I still love it. Raven is definitely my favorite character.
its cool how you can see the teen evolve and devolve, starting with the old conics, hitting its peek with the teen titans show then hitting the lowest point of teen titans go......PLEASE BRING TEEN TITANS BACK THE NEW ONE GIVES ME CHILLS WHENEVER I SEE IT
I think it's decent
I like these little stories.
Please do Beast Boy. He's my favorite Teen Titan!! :D
I love the comic panel(1:09) where Raven said: "...Brought here by one of you own... A man, who in seeking a dream... but found a nightmare instead." It just sounded so mysterious and badass. It actually gave me goosebumps.
I love Raven so much! Thanks for doing this now I'm off to find the Teen Titans comics...
WATCHMOJO WHY WOULD YOU SHOW A CLIP FROM TEEN TITANS GO
Well they at least had to acknowledge it.
FrankyTheImmortal No, let that shit burn in the bowls of hell from which it came. Fuck those hipster douchebags who decided to take on a series that they had never even bothered to see before and fuck their pathetic show that spit in the face of every single fan of the original show.
marsjake8 Wow, keep calm, so much hate isn't good for your health... And the show was extremly annoying, but some "real" fans loves it, too (I don't, I didn't even watch the whole first episode)
I'm just playing a role dude? I'm perfectly chilled. But no seriously, when I was younger I loved Teen Titans, so when this came along it was just like a smack to the face.
Teen Titans was and is still my favorite animated show of all time, and I freakin love Teen Titans Go! It's just a comedic twist on a great show. Don't get so wound up on a show that's SUPPOSED to be taken as a joke.
Raven is my favorite SuperHero
I love raven, I was hoping for some insight on how she is being talked about between her fans (like if she's a favorite among DC) as well as hear her different media appearances. All in all great video!
Raven is awesome!!! This was really interesting!! I only knew her from the show so it's cool to see a more grown up version.
i wanrt to know the origin of the relationship between trigon and angela. how dd they even have raven?!?
I didn't know that so Raven was based on a comic book character. LoL
Really?. The Teen Titans is a group of teenage superhero sidekicks and you didn't know she was based on a comic book character. All the Teen Titans are from the comics.
I was doing something people call a joke, maybe you didn't realize I said LoL at the end or you didn't read the whole thing before you commented you moronic ass wipe.
Angerful Lairon
Unfortunately not everyone has watched that show. Lucky for you, I have and thus I understand the joke.
Angerful Lairon Calm yourself. Never once, did I curse at you. Stay classy. All you had to say was that you're joking. Stop acting like a little boy that got his feeling hurt and wants to throw a tantrum. Sheesh.
Sorry I got a bit aggressive there.
Best of your super hero lists
The show was a huge part of my childhood and she was always my favorite character!
I love Raven :D but mainly from the Teen Titans animation; I was never much into comic books.
I really like the version of Raven in the movie Titan vs the justice league
One of my favourite DC characters...I've always found Raven so fascinating and mysterious before the very good Teen Titans Go. That series just made her even better to me. Great character, but, to me, very underestimated...
I recently started watching Teen Titans again. I looked on its Wikipedia and saw that the crew did come together for a possible season 6 if they got enough support from fans and the channel. I don't know when it was last updated but that is like my dream.
Nevermore
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW dem poem
+Vertical Hunger I see what you did there. And I salute you greatly for it.

Oh Lord, Raven was one of my favorite titans. Seeing her back here brings back so many fanboy crush memories.
these are great! well done folks!
You should do top 10 creepypastas! :-)
of all the comic book movie adaptations this character would be amazing. With Director guillermo del toro
this comment hasn't aged well
...Stories from Marv Wolfman in the 80's I went back and read. When I heard that they were bringing it back in 2012 I was so excited. I watched TTGo and I walked from it feeling as though I had witnessed a car wreck
Love looking at George Perez's artwork in this video.
Raven should be nicknamed "The Fuckup" because she could literally fuck up the entire teen titans lol.
***** That a fact I disagree?
Uh, no.
KON- EL She can,she's the freaking spawn of the Devil.
She's already sole'd the team numerous times when she looses control. She's basically DC's version of Jean Grey(Phoenix)
No one can stop her physically.
aquamarine11500 that so strange I seem to remember that when I was taken over by lex luthor I basically tore the titans apart (even when raven was present)
KON- EL Lol yeah,well that's was most likely normal/base Raven. When Raven goes Demon mode,she cannot be stopped. Kryptonians have a natural weakness to magic,and guess what...?
Raven's powers are partially psionic and the other half is Dark Magic. Also she really cant die,because she'll just be reborn and reincarnated over and over again.
That's juts like saying
"Magneto has whooped all the X-men before(including Jean Grey)"
But the real question is..was it Jean Grey Phoenix powered?"
So yeah basically..I'm saying when Rae goes demon mode ,she's hard to kill,and usually has to be taken out via plot device or luckily turns good in the end and to stop her father.
Cartoon network ruined the teen titans when they brought the show back in 2013
At least they got the original cast to come back and didn't recast. Plus it's not that bad. There are far worse out there.
One of my requests went through!
Hey Watchmojo, since the movie is coming out this weekend. You guys should do a Top 10 X-Men and X Villain video
Raven and BB 4EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd like to thank Cartoon Network for destroying an awesome show I grew up with, Teen Titans was a fantastic show and Teen Titans Go! is a joke and Should GO! away.
You would like to THANK Cartoon Network for destroying the show you liked????
Sarcasm...ever heard of it?
I agree with u completly they ruined teen titans with that crap
I loved Raven still do she's been my favorite super hero one of my first actually. I was never a huge super hero fan back then but Raven was the first super hero I actually enjoyed.
I knew she was based off the comic character, but I loved getting the insight! Raven is one of my (if not #1) favorite DC super hero.
Hah, shes raven who can see into the future randomly, thats so raven?¿
Superhero Origin of _Lady Legasus_!!
.......
What...?
Lady legasus is raven..
Issaree batsung-nern ~ *Throws a ball with the word: "Joke!" over your head* ~
* Throws back *
At 4:23 after they said that, the "that's so raven" theme song went off in my head
I was hoping you would do more teen titan characters. Hope to see Starfire or Beast Boy and the Doom Patrol next
this is more of a origin of the teen titans
+Deven Mendoza Well, how much of a history does Raven really have outside the Titans? They explained her origins in the order they're SHOWN; which starts with her bringing the Titans together, then goes on to explain her backstory.
+LordofFullmetal pretty sure her backstory is much more of an origin....
I'm Raven every year for Halloween! She's so cool, also I act like her for some reason.
Whoa No Way!
Raven is my favorite ever thank u for reviewing her😄😄😄
Long time fan of Raven and the voice over of her, Mrs. Tara Strong.
Raven is my favorite Teen Titan
This made my day go from crappy to awesome! Oh the joy!
big time fan that was my favorite show before and after it got cancelled
she does seriously needs her own live action movie... she is the character that every film producer could easily make the scripts just same as supergirl (in my opinion)
