Almost as if it were specifically designed to irritate and annoy the uber-serious dark and gritty hardcore DC fans, “Teen Titans Go!” has been somewhat divisive since it first debuted on Cartoon Network but it made a winning case for itself with “Teen Titans Go…To The Movies”, deconstructing not just the DC universe but the…
