In 1983, [[Hanna-Barbera]] began developing a new animated series based on the then-current version of the Teen Titans. It was "The New Teen Titans" and it was to follow the same universe of the [[Hanna Barbera’s Super Friends|Superfriends]] series. The members of the team included [[Cyborg]], [[Wonder Girl]], Changeling, Starfire and Raven. Wonder Girl would be the leader. [[Robin]] was not going to be a part of the series since he was already part of the Superfriends. The show never saw the light of day, however an anti-drug commercial sponsored by Keebler was released that featured the Titans. Plus another member is shown called the [[Protector]], who was a new superhero to be Robin's replacement because Keebler was unable to the character, as he was licensed by Nabisco.
