History ComicBook / TeenTitansRebirth

-->'''Damian:''' Tim Drake and I had our differences, but I'll admit he was a great man. Despite his best efforts, over the past few years the Teen Titans have been losers, criminals—a joke. They epitomized what's wrong with this younger generation of so-called heroes—they didn't deserved to be called a "super-team". But we could do better. There are five of us. Five fingers make a fist. Join me... '''I dare you'''.

** As part of ''Lazarus Contract'', it's been shown that Deathstroke's living children have all had their ages tweaked. Joey is in his twenties, and Rose is about in her mid teens, who was trained as a child by Dick Grayson's Robin back when he led the original team.

''Comicbook/TeenTitans'' is a 2016 comic book series published by Comicbook/DCComics as part of its Comicbook/DCRebirth initiative, written by Ben Percy, and was initially drawn by Jonboy Meyer, and later by Khoi Pham. The monthly series will sees [[Comicbook/{{Robin}} Damian Wayne]] forcibly recruiting a team to fight against his grandfather Ra's Al Ghul. The book stars Robin, Comicbook/{{Starfire}}, [[Comicbook/TeenTitans Raven, Beast Boy]], and [[Comicbook/TheFlash the new Kid Flash]].

** Damian, who couldn't have been older than six chronologically (see {{Retcon}} below) is shown celebrating his thirteenth birthday.
** The series keeps Raven at the age the New 52 run made her, that is, she's a teenager while the rest of her generation of Titans are in their twenties.

** Damian's age. Post-Flashpoint, it's specifically shown that Bruce Wayne only operated as Batman for 5 years when the current stories are set, and we see what he was doing in his first year and he never met Talia al Ghul. The modern stories take place across another two years. That would make Damian ''chronologically'', at oldest, ''six''.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Talia's brief appearance shows her appreciating Damian as a son and seemingly willing to accept his decision to remain at Batman's side even though she'd prefer he come back to the League -- a stark contrast to her downright abusive and manipulative EvilMatriarch tendencies in the pre-Rebirth stories.

* BlatantLies: Damian claims the Titans can't go to Batman or Nightwing for help against Ra's because they won't take them seriously, it's pretty clear he just doesn't want their help, this is even confirmed in Issue #5.

The series will crossover with ''ComicBook/TitansRebirth'' and ''ComicBook/DeathstrokeRebirth'' in "The Lazarus Contract", a BatFamilyCrossover that will feature Deathstroke trying to use the Speed Force to revive his dead son, Grant. It is also intended to clear up the ContinuitySnarl regarding the Titans' Post-Flashpoint history, along with Deathstroke's relationship with the team, which was similarly RetGone'd in the New 52.

* AgeLift: Damian, who couldn't have been older than six (see {{Retcon}} below) is shown celebrating his thirteenth birthday.

* LongLastParent: Apparently Mara's father was in the League of Shadows at some point before being expelled. Who her mother is, and which of the parents is related to the al Ghul bloodline and how, hasn't been expounded upon.

** At Beast Boy's house party, a blonde girl called Tara flirts with him, a reference to his former love interest Terra.
* NotSoDifferent: Damian confesses to the others that he is R'as al Ghul's grandson and afraid this fact has already condemned him to evil. They open up to him by discussing their feelings on their own evil family members -- [[CainAndAbel Starfire's sister Blackfire]], [[ArchnemesisDad Raven's father Trigon the Terrible]] and [[EvilUncle NuWally's uncle the Reverse Flash]]; Beast Boy [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers doesn't have one]] -- and Starfire expresses that he is no more a slave to his blood than they are

* WellDoneSonGuy: A female variation in that Mara wants Ra's approval more than anything.
* WildTeenParty: Beast boy throws one, renting out a house in order to draw in a crowd.

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler: the Demon's Fist team up with the Titans to take down Mara and Ra's once the truth comes out that the League kidnapped them as infants, and even before then they clearly hated how Mara treated them.]]

** The Teen Titans are ''almost'' how they are in [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans both Teen]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGO Titans shows]], albeit replacing Cyborg with Kid Flash. Then again, Kid Flash has made appearances in both shows as well.

* WellDoneSonGuy: A female variation in that Mara wants Ra's approval more than anything, which is fitting given her father Dusan, wanted the same thing his entire life.

The series is written by Ben Percy, and was initially drawn by Jonboy Meyer. After 2 issues, Meyer was replaced by Khoi Pham.

* TakeThat: ''Teen Titans'' #1 has a savage at Scott Lobdell's heavily panned run, with Damian Wayne claiming that under Red Robin's leadership, the Teen Titans became a complete and utter joke.

* MythologyGag: The Teen Titans are ''almost'' how they are in [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans both Teen]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGO Titans shows]], albeit replacing Cyborg with Kid Flash. Then again, Kid Flash has made appearances in both shows as well.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The Teen Titans are going to be led by the current Robin, Damian Wayne... and they don't like that very much, which is justifiable since he basically ''kidnapped'' them into helping him fight his grandfather, Ra's al Ghul.
