Those sites rule. Too bad both shows are cancelled now. I no longer have any more reason to watch Cartoon Network.
And I agree that Raven is the greatest. She even beats Robin on my list and that's saying something. It's really ironic how I cherish and love the dark, brooding female anti-hero in Teen Titans, but yet have absolutely no respect for the one in Beast Wars*cough*Blackarachnia*cough*.

I wasn't exactly a major DC fan before i saw JLU then Teen Titans, i was more into Marvel's universe with the occasional venture into one or two DC comics such as the random Superman comic and the earlier JLA comic runs. If it wasn't for JL/U TAS i wouldn't have watched more Superman & Batman TAS. I certainly wouldn't have developed an interest for Jack Kirby's Fourth World and the New Gods besides Darkseid if it wasn't for those series either.
I read that Raven is very different in the comics but i love this version and it's not an illogical transition for a teenage mystic sorceress from another dimension and whose dad is a powerful demon.

That right there shows you the power of Bruce Timm's DC Animated Universe. It's so accessible that you don't need to be someone who's been reading the comics for 20+ years in order to get into it. Heck, you don't even need to know the histories of these characters to enjoy the show. Batman: The Animated Series was my first introduction to the character of Batman. I also never really got into the concept of the Justice League partly because of the embarrassingly corny Superfriends cartoon and even when the Justice League show premiered, I hated it at first during the first season. But over time, the show improved so much that it made me a believer.
