Headscratchers / Teen Titans Go! To the Movies

• Why is Slade voiced by Will Arnett and not Ron Perlman?
  • Probably because Ron Perlman was busy with other commitments or simply refused to reprise his role.
    • Or they just wanted Arnett from the get-go.
    • In addition, Arnett is a far better comedian, and can switch between dramatic and self-effacing.
• The Teen Titans show an awareness that they are in a movie (Cyborg asks Slade to say something inappropriate to the camera; Starfire tells Robin that the movie is over, etc.). If they knew that they were in a film all along, why did they seek to get a film made about them?
  • It's a movie where the fourth wall's been pummeled to a fine mist.
• Does the movie take place before the TV show? In the film, they are meeting Slade for the first time, but in the show, the Titans already know Slade.
  • It may be Control Freak's doing. He's the one behind the Go! continuity, so maybe he rebooted it again.
• By time traveling back to the past and preventing the origins of many superheroes, then doesn't that mean that Robin should have ceased to exist? Robin only became a superhero because Batman took him under his wing, but if Batman never existed, then that means Dick Grayson would have never become his sidekick.
• If Batman's origin was prevented, then doesn't that mean that the Joker should have ceased to exist as well? If The Killing Joke is considered to be his official origin, then he should have been shot to death by the security of Ace Chemicals, so in turn, Harley Quinn would have never become evil either.
• When the Titans went back in time to prevent the origins of Superheroes, couldn't they have done the same for the supervillains too?
• Isn't it a bit of a stretch that none of the superheroes would exist if their origins were stopped? Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and the TMNT are understandable, but Batman and Superman? Couldn't there still be a slight chance that they might've become superheroes anyway, only this time they were inspired by the "nice strangers" who saved their families?
