Empowering kids to find their inner hero with a week of action, friendship and Superman-inspired adventures.
This July, Cartoon Network is flying high with a new programming event that’s all about fun, heart, hope, and humour. To celebrate the release of the new Superman movie landing in cinemas on Friday, 11 July, Cartoon Network will air a Teen Titans Go! Meet Superman marathon on the same day, giving kids and families the chance to celebrate their favourite heroes in true super-style. In the lead-up, the channel will also debut brand-new episodes from Season 9 of Teen Titans Go! on Monday, 7 July, setting the stage for a week packed with action, comedy, and inspiration.
But this is more than just great TV. The campaign is grounded in a powerful idea: every child can be like Superman. Whether that’s sticking up for a friend, trying again after failing, or simply showing kindness to a pet, kids already embody what makes Superman super. His courage, compassion, and perseverance are values we all recognise. Through a series of playful, high-energy short videos, Cartoon Network invites children to reflect on their own ‘super’ moments, reminding young viewers that they already have what it takes to be great.
Teen Titans Go! follows the hilarious adventures of Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy. Sure, they’re still superheroes who save the day, but when the capes come off, they’re just five teens navigating life as roommates. Whether it’s battling boredom, dealing with demon dads, or throwing impromptu meatball parties, these heroes prove that being super doesn’t mean being serious all the time.
This July, brand-new episodes from Season 9 introduce fresh faces and laugh-out-loud chaos, including King Shark, a lovable ‘bad guy’ who tags along with the Titans after they help him dislodge a painful tooth. King Shark quickly becomes one of the gang (though he does have a habit of eating people, including Beast Boy). Expect tank-top transformations, a crash course in living the ‘tank life’, and an epic pool battle with Robin.
These new episodes premiere on Monday, 7 July, at 16:50, followed by the Teen Titans Go! Meet Superman marathon on Friday, 11 July, from 13:45, only on Cartoon Network (DStv Channel 301). It’s the perfect warm-up for the new Superman movie hitting cinemas the same day.
In a world where kids are facing big emotions and complex challenges, Cartoon Network is reminding them that being a hero doesn’t require superpowers; it just takes bravery, kindness, and the willingness to try.
Because being like Superman starts with being your best self.
