Titansgo.net finally complied at least the majority of events of the San Diego Comic Con. Here you go.

Part 1:

Greetings from Comic Con! There's a been a lot of stuff going on for Teen Titans, here's a rundown of what's been happening.

On Thursday, the panel "Scoring for Superheroes" had Lolita Ritmanis, Michael McQuistion, and Kristopher Carter talking about their line of work. After some talk of their work on shows like Justice Leage and Batman Beyond, Glen Murakami was invited up to speak on the business of scoring for superhero shows from a producer's perspective.

A lot of talk on the panel was about Bruce Timm, and how he goes about scoring for his shows. On the other hand, Glen gave the composers full freedom. "If you want to make it weird," he said to them, "make it really weird." Some clips were shown of work they'd done on the show, such as Terra flying during the training sequence, the end of "Bunny Raven," to show the breadth of the music in the show.

After talk of the show, it was time to see clips from "Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo"! We first saw the opening sequence, which showed Robin's declaration of their trip to Tokyo, and then how they all packed for the trip. Beast Boy took everything he could find, threw it on his suitcase, and then changed into an elephant to fit it all in. Raven stepped into her bathroom, grabbed a toothbrush, and after a moment of silence, decided it was all she needed and left. Starfire had some manner of Tamaranian creature that vaccuumed all the things she was talking into it, and then changed into a handbag for her to carry.

While packing, Robin disturbed Silkie's nap on his bag, but after packing extra suits, Robin took another and made a bed for Silkie to go back to sleep on. Cyborg took a number of spare arms and legs, and even came across a spare head that looked back! Once all were packed and ready, he tried to shove all the luggage into the cargo hold of the T-Ship, but unfortunately couldn't fit everything in there. The next shot finds the Titans taking off from their tower, with the luggage tied down on the ship itself. Next was a sight gag showing the T-Ship on its pattern to Tokyo (in a very Indiana Jones fashion). The last part of the opening showed Beast Boy drinking a Mondo Gulp, and then seeing a sign that said "Next Rest Area: 2500 Miles."

Unlike the show's score, the score for "Trouble in Tokyo" was done by a full live orchestra. In the next clip we were shown, the Titans meet the chief of police, and watch the Troopers take down a godzilla like-monster with special cables (to which Cyborg remarked, "we have got to get one of those!") After introducing himself, the chief bows, and the rest of the Titans follow -- except Beast Boy, whose head Cyborg held down.

Michael McQuistion talked a lot about how the score was done in an asian scale, and they really put a lot of elements of asian music into it. The clip we saw had the Titans theme done in that scale, and it sounded wonderful.

The composers put up a clip from the score for those in attendance, so we'll have that for you soon! They also mentioned that they would be scoring for "Legion of Superheroes." Hooray!

Friday was the panel for "Legion of Superheroes." Butch will have that update for you, since I skipped out on that panel.


Part 2:

On Saturday July 22nd, WB screened the Teen Titans "Trouble in Tokyo" direct-to-video movie in its entirety to a large room of fans, filled to capacity. Teen Titans producer Glen Murakami, story editor David Slack, and Greg Cipes (Beast Boy) introduced the full screening. What happened during the entirety of the movie, would be telling.

On the "Scoring for Superheroes" panel on Thursday, July 20th, the DCAU composers provided a limited-time bonus soundtrack mix for "Trouble in Tokyo", available for download only during the Comic-Con event. We've uploaded it for your listening pleasure here:

Some bad news concerning the release of "Trouble in Tokyo": we've gotten word from crew sources that the DTV will air on Cartoon Network as late as December of this year. Also, the DVD's release has been moved from this October to a possible May 2007 release. Hopefully these will be reconsidered.


Depressing about the Tokyo DVD. Oh well, what can you do? I'll post more as it develops.

I hate Cartoon Network. Pushing the airing for the movie to December? What the heck?

And I have to wait until MAY OF NEXT YEAR for the DVD?!!

Can they honestly not find time in their schedule for Tokyo? I mean, I know how "My Gym Partner is a Monkey" is so important and all, but they're making some fans (this one) very, very angry. :angry:

I get the feeling a good number of fans will have forgotten the Titans existed by the time this movie is released.

Good move, CN! Way to make sure people buy the movie... Make them wait so long they don't care anymore!
