Teen Titans Retuning to Cartoon Network

All new Teen Titans Go! joining DC Nation in 2013
Fans of the original Teen Titans cartoon will be glad to see this coming back to television and with some familiar voices tagging along.
DC Nation, Cartoon Network’s home for action-packed animated series and original shorts based on characters from DC Comics (Saturdays 10:00–11:00 a.m. ET/PT), will soon be joined by a new generation of superheroes as Teen Titans Go!, a brand-new half-hour comedy-action series inspired by Warner Bros. Animation’s original fan-favorite series Teen Titans, shows the humorous side of being a teenage hero.
Teen Titans Go! features the return of Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg in all-new, comedic adventures. Character-driven comedy is the order of the day as this new take on the super hero series focuses on the funny business that happens between saving the world and living together as teenagers without adult supervision. They may be super heroes who save the world every day … but somebody still has to do the laundry! With the ability to turn into any animal or detach their robotic limbs, teenage pranks reach a whole new level. And even super heroes have to take Driver’s Ed. to get a license – especially after wrecking the Batmobile on an unauthorized joy ride to impress a girl!
Featuring the principal voice cast from the original series – Greg Cipes as Beast Boy, Scott Menville as Robin, Khary Payton as Cyborg, Tara Strong as Raven and Hynden Walch as Starfire – Teen Titans Go! recaptures everything audiences loved about the original show, while adding laughter at the lighter side of being a super hero. Executive produced by Sam Register (Green Lantern: The Animated Series, The Looney Tunes Show, Teen Titans), with Michael Jelenic (ThunderCats, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) and Aaron Horvath (MAD, El Tigre) as producers, this side-splitting series will premiere on Cartoon Network in 2013 as part of the DC Nation programming block.

This is fantastic news! Not only because one of the best cartoons of the last decade is coming back but because it sets not one, but TWO precedents: namely that successful DC Nation shorts can be turned into TV shows and that there's a potential for long canceled DC Universe franchises to be resurrected.
Now I want to see shows for Super Best Friends Forever and The Atom too! And could JLU or another DCAU series potentially return now? Now I REALLY want to see Gotham Girls or Harley and Ivy shorts adapted for DC Nation.
Plus, Robin in the Batmobile? Does that mean we are going to finally see that long-teased Teen Titans version of Batman? We can only hope!
Getting rid of Greg Noveck was the best thing to ever happen to DC animation.
Hooray!
