DC’s Teen Titans is one of the better ideas in superhero comics, and one rival Marvel Comics has never been able to emulate particularly well. The sidekicks of the DCU all get together to form their own band of heroes. Teen Titans, Go Teen Titans!
While the Teen Titans started with the core sidekicks like Robin, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, and Speedy, the team has undergone tremendous progress as the DC Universe has evolved. Likewise, as heroes like Dick Grayson have progressed from Robin to Nightwing, their involvement with various Teen Titans monikers has progressed to simply Titans, or other groups altogether.
Below you’ll find a complete guide to Teen Titans comics in the DC universe, including offshoot groups like Young Justice, Outsiders, and of course, the Titans.
