Why would we want Mr. Terrific and Animal Man on the Titans? The team is more unique then that, and their a family in a way other DC teams (aside from the JSA) aren't.
The Titans is always going to probably be a mix of adults and teenagers unless we get a pure Titans, adult, team and a separate teenage team but I don't think that necessarily limits the stories and development for those characters...especially since Titans book seems to be the only books that even care to bother with those characters.

And there is absolutely no problem with the titans having two separate teams. One for the next gen heroes and one for the veterans. I fail to see the issue with it and how it "limits" development. Honestly i think it can prove that the Titans can stand on their own as a respectable team. They don't need validation from anyone. No team does.
Titans #32 did a great job of developing Mother Blood. It feels like villains never get the amount of development as heroes do. Villains are characters too.
Imagine being proud to have negative traits. I can’t relate.

I'm discovering The Titans series from 1999 and, guys, this page is everything I ever wanted and will always want from a Titans book :

I finished the first four issues and I'm far from being disappointed. Great to read cool DC stories.
These legends laughing in a restaurant like kids, while their children are playing, a page full of happiness, of light. I don't have words to describe how wonderful it is.
I hope that, one day, we will be lucky enough to see our Titans reunited and with every member of their family (well ... Terry Long can stay dead, fair trade !).
I haven't read them, but I agree. The one definitive difference with Justice League is that they are brought by friendship, not just necessity.
So. Since there's a separate forum for the Teen version, I'm gonna jump and talk about Titans the grown up here.

I don't know where to start. I want to say the first time I heard of Titans was when I read a Wizard interview of George Perez talking about his team, but that's still Teen Titans. It just have the same characters. Nightwing was discussed so that's why I thought it was Titans.
I'm worried that this is exactly what Didio hates and what he's trying to erase from DC.
Instead I've always thought this was the strength of DC: Legacy, Family, Friends, Light against darkness. Sadly, time changes... everything changes.
I will always champion this book. It's probably my all time favorite series and I generally avoid picking favorites because they can change. The series drops a bit after Helfer takes over because he introduces some runaways (not a bad idea) but he wanted them to become the new Titans and take over the book. What???? Even then DC was trying to screw over the Titans in their own damn book.

I don't think he even care that far. What he cares is that we have what he views to be excess characters. A bunch of adult characters with the same power and skill set as the Justice League. So he view them as irrelevant because he doesn't know how to market them. He doesn't know what's the point of these characters when there's already a team more popular with the same skill set.
