'''''Titans''''' is a 2016 comic book series that launched with the Comicbook/DCRebirth brand, written by Dan Abnett, and drawn by Brett Booth.. It is a follow-up to Comicbook/TitansHunt2015, which saw the reunion of the original Comicbook/TeenTitans as adults. The title features [[Comicbook/TheFlash Wally West]], having just returned from the Speed Force in Comicbook/DCRebirth, reuniting with his former friends [[Comicbook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]], [[Comicbook/WonderWoman Donna Troy]], [[Comicbook/GreenArrow Roy Harper]], [[Comicbook/{{Aquaman}} Garth]], and Lilith Clay. The group is determined to find out who "edited" the DC Universe and removed Wally from the world, and at launch was the most direct continuation of that MythArc, which is spread out across the entire Rebirth line.

* BerserkButton: The first Annual makes it ''very'' clear that insulting or doubting Wally is one for the normally friendly and polite Barry Allen.

-->'''Aquaman''': Until a few months ago, none of us even ''knew'' who ''Wally West'' was. Not even ''you'', Flash.

* BrokenAce: Wally. After his return, he is able to tap more deeply into the Speed Force than ever before. However, his experiences being trapped outside of time, coupled with Linda Park no longer loving him, have left him traumatized, to the point where Abra Kadabra's Lilith puppet descrbes him as "brittle".

--<'''Barry''': I do '''now'''... and I think you better watch what you're implying, Arthur.

** Donna Troy makes mention of being an orphan raised by the Amazons. This is in direct conflict with her origin in the New 52, where she's a clone of Wonder Woman made from clay. It's later revealed that [[spoiler: she ''is'' still that Donna Troy, and her false memories of being an orphan raised by the Amazons were given to her ''by'' the Amazons ton give her a fresh start]]. How this even works, with the New 52 Amazons being revealed to be an illusion in ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' remains to be seen.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: In the first arc of ''Titans'', Wally West gets the most focus by a ''huge'' margin, gets the most focus on covers, and the ''variant covers'' put even ''more'' focus on him. In fact, the title of the is called "The Return of Wally West", and even that title is a reference to one of ''his'' solo stories from ''The Flash''. The other characters each get a moment every few issues, but opening arc largely serves as the series where Wally's new status quo can be established. The following arc ''Made in Manhattan'', however, is more evenly spread out among the different team members, with the focus going to Mal and Karen.

* RedHerring: Inverted. ''DC Universe: Rebirth'' #1 first implied that the person behind the disappearance of Wally West was [[spoiler:Dr. Manhattan]]. However, the series has Abra Kadabra outright say that it was his doing... then it's heavily implied that he's working for [[spoiler:Dr. Manhattan]] somehow.

The other characters each get a moment every few issues, but so far the series largely serves as the series where Wally's new status quo can be established. However, you'll find ''very'' few fans who have a problem with this, as Wally is a ''huge'' EnsembleDarkHorse and was missing for the entirety of the New 52, unlike the rest of the team. At the same time, his status in-canon is shaky and has to be addressed, as do his memories of the pre-Flashpoint universe. Not only that, but it's agreed that the series wouldn't be selling anywhere near as well without him in a starring role, and that the series would probably be cancelled not long after he left.
