TINY TITANS [2008-present] |

  |
As the creators like to say, "they're the same Titans you know and love, but they're really, really little." Tiny Titans was launched in January, 2008 as part of DC's new kids line. The series was co-created by Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani, best known for the humorous all-ages comic, Patrick the Wolf Boy. In Tiny Titans, the characters from the regular Teen Titans universe are portrayed as tiny children and deal with outrageous and fun situations in their schoolyard and classroom, or in the Titans treehouse. The Tiny Titans encounter characters that regular comics readers know as evil villains, but in this comic, the conflicts will be more oriented toward teachers vs. students or the little Titans dealing with mean kids. The bad guys are like the bullies in the school, and the substitute teacher happens to be Trigon. And the principle of the school is Slade. He's really strict, so they call him The Terminator. But most of all, the comic was designed to make readers laugh. And the gags were devised to play upon those things in the comics that we all tend to laugh about anyway -- like the kids figuring out that it's no fun to play tag with Kid Flash.
