Changes: Jump City

Revision as of 10:15, 23 May 2020

Our city is the greatest city ever!

―Beast Boy in the Finale^[src]

Jump City is the location of the Teen Titans' base of operations Titans Tower, and the location where most of the episodes at least partially take place in. Jump City is protected by the Teen Titans against threats of all scales internal or external, yet in How Long is Forever? it is protected solely by Nightwing, a future incarnation of Robin.

Based in America's West Coast, its population appears to rank in the millions, according to the Teen Titans Go! series, and it is portrayed as a modern urbanized center with pizza shops, parks, businesses, houses, islands and busy streets. The creators of the show have stated the city is similar to a 60's style of a city. It also appears to be a combination of Boston and San Francisco, with the city showing styles of both cities.

Jump City is based on both San Fransisco and Boston.
The name of the city was never revealed in the series itself, however it was revealed in the Teen Titans Go! comic book spin-off.
The Red Chef is a parody of Iron Chef French Hiroyuki Sakai, one of the two chief cooks in the Japanese cook show Iron Chef, which specialized in French cuisine.
The Clerk Girl makes something of a running joke in the series as she constantly switches jobs after her previous working place is victimized by a supervillain, only to fall prey to another incident in her new one.
The name of Cook's Electronics Store is a possible pun reference to Fry's Electronics.
The "Bank of Perez" refers to comic artist George Perez, who co-created the 1980s era The New Teen Titans comic series with writer Marv Wolfman.
Jump City was seen on a map in Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "Aquaman's Outrageous Adventure" , though for some reason it's situated by a river instead of the ocean.
