I Can’t Believe It: DC Just Made the TEEN TITANS GO! Costumes Badass

While I’ll never say a bad word about the Teen Titans GO!TV series – since I believe it's a true masterpiece – I will admit that their costume designs, while iconic, were far from badass. That’s not necessarily a critique, though, since they weren’t intended to be. However, in DC's newest comic series, these same designs have been reimagined into something undeniably badass.

...DC has proven that these often-overlooked designs are actually among their best.

The iconic team of Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy officially returns to comics in Teen Titans GO! #1 by Sholly Fisch, Dario Brizuela, Franco Riesco, and Saida Temofonte. From start to finish, this issue is a wild ride of humor, fourth-wall breaks, and shenanigans, with the team trying to find a way to become relevant after learning that DC was “canceling” their comic.

In an effort to get back in DC’s good graces, the team decides to experiment with different genres, stepping away from their typical comedic style. One of their attempts includes diving into hardcore comic action, complete with a full team makeover.

Teen Titans GO! is celebrated for its unique art style, defined by playful exaggeration, bold simplicity, and vibrant colors. The characters boast large, expressive eyes and cartoonish proportions—oversized heads, shorter limbs, and simplified facial features—that amplify the humor at the core of the show. This fun, exaggerated design style is central to its comedic tone. But when the team steps into an action-packed setting, receiving a makeover that channels the classic comic book art of the '80s, it marks a major departure from the usual aesthetic, giving the characters a thrilling and unexpected new look.

Honestly, I never thought I’d see the day when I’d look at the Teen Titans GO! versions of these characters and think, “Wow, those are actually sick designs.” But thanks to this wild genre mash-up, DC has proven that these often-overlooked designs are actually among their best.

DC didn’t just stop at a full comic book style makeover for the Teen Titans. Artists Dario Brizuela and Franco Riesco also reimagined the Titans in a variety of unique and iconic art styles. One of the standout transformations featured the characters in the classic Archie Comics art style, with Starfire, Robin, and Raven channeling Betty, Archie, and Veronica. The trio even recreated the famous scene of all three sharing a single milkshake, an image forever tied to Archie Comics. Another memorable mashup had Cyborg embodying the iconic Rorschach panel from Watchmen.
