In Real Life

Despite their humble beginnings as a somewhat obscure DC property in 1964, the Teen Titans would see many adaptations throughout the years as their popularity grew, including the long-running animated series "Teen Titans Go!" The show has received very strong reactions from DC fans, especially fans of the 2003 series "Teen Titans."
Though “Go!” has received some backlash for its tone, which is much more comedic than the 2000s show, it remains a success, with over 360 episodes, seven seasons, and even a 2018 film. This is due in part to the talented voice cast, many of which returned from the 2003 predecessor, including Tara Strong as Raven.
Being able to return to the role of Raven was a dream come true for Strong, who stated in an interview, “It was a really magical group of the voice cast [...] we were all just so close and loved each other so much.” Strong also stated her belief that the strong backlash against “Go!” comes from fans of the 2003 show being upset about the latter’s cliffhanger ending.
Raven is not the only DC character Strong voices, as she plays Huntress in "Batman: The Brave and the Bold," Terra in "Young Justice," and Batgirl and Harley Quinn in numerous projects. However, she is best known for voicing Timmy Turner in Nickelodeon's "The Fairly OddParents" and Bubbles in Cartoon Network's "Powerpuff Girls."
