Justice League vs. Teen Titans welcomes the Teen Titans to the ever-expanding canon of classic DC Comics characters within the DC Universe Original Movies. When Damian’s over-aggressive tendencies almost destroy a Justice League mission, he is sent to learn teamwork by training alongside the Teen Titans. However, adjusting Damian’s attitude turns out to be the least of the Teen Titans’ troubles as Raven’s satanic, world-conquering father Trigon begins an escape from his inter-dimensional prison. To complete his return, Trigon must have Raven’s assistance – and to accomplish his goal, he spreads his demonic forces across the globe, infiltrating the minds and bodies of the Justice League to do his bidding. To save the universe and prevent a literal hell on Earth, the Teen Titans must rescue – or defeat – the Justice League, and intern Trigon for all eternity.
The voice cast for Justice League vs. Teen Titans includes several actors reprising their recent Justice League roles – Jason O’Mara (Complications, Terra Nova) as Batman, Jerry O’Connell (Crossing Jordan, Stand By Me) as Superman, Rosario Dawson (Sin City, Rent) as Wonder Woman, Shemar Moore (Criminal Minds) as Cyborg and Christopher Gorham (Covert Affairs, Ugly Betty) as Flash. Sean Maher (Firefly/Serenity, Batman: Bad Blood) also returns as Nightwing, as does Stuart Allan (Batman vs. Robin) as Robin/Damian. Making their Teen Titans voiceover debuts are Taissa Farmiga (American Horror Story, Wicked City) as Raven, Jake T. Austin (Wizards of Waverly Place, The Fosters) as Blue Beetle, Brandon Soo Hoo (Tropic Thunder, From Dusk Til Dawn: The Series) as Beast Boy and Kari Wahlgren (Phineas and Ferb, Legion of Superheroes) as Starfire. Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead, Daredevil) takes the villainous center stage as Trigon.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, Justice League vs. Teen Titans is directed by Sam Liu from a screenplay by Bryan Q. Miller and Alan Burnett based on a story by Miller. James Tucker is Supervising Producer. Burnett is also co-Producer. Sam Register is Executive Producer.
“Warner Bros.

Site News: New “Justice League” Animated Series Confirmed
Taking a break from our regular site updates, The World’s Finest has an update on an upcoming animated project from Warner Bros. Animation spotlighting DC Comics’ biggest superhero team. Since mid-2015, there has been an assortment of online posts teasing the production of a new Justice League animated series. Pictures, tweets and posts plastered on an assortment of sites and social media outlets. So, when directly asked about a possible new Justice League animated series, a representative for Cartoon Network Canada sent The World’s Finest the following message via Facebook:
Animated shows tend to premiere on Cartoon Network Canada within the same rough time-frame as the U.S. Cartoon Network outlet, though usually after, so it’s safe to assume that we’ll be seeing a new Justice League animated series – likely the much-buzzed about and allegedly titled Justice League: Action – no later than Fall 2016. This response is another confirmation, this time from a network (though still not an “official announcement”), that a new Justice League series is on the way. Expect such an announcement from Cartoon Network in the near future.
Discuss this news here at The DC Animation Forum!
Update (10/06/15): Given how fast the Justice League animated news has spread, and the supposed validity of the above image, below is another image (the excerpt above is taken from the conversation below) of a representative from Cartoon Network Canada commenting to The World’s Finest on a new Justice League animated series:
Additionally, Cartoon Network Canada sent the following message earlier today, unprompted and likely due to how fast the word of a forthcoming Justice League series has traveled. The only altered part of the image below is the removal of contact details provided by the network.
More details will be reported as they come available. Stay tuned for further updates right here at The World’s Finest and The DC Animation Forum.
