TITANS part of JL or INDEPENDENT?

[Masterff]

Hello,

do you prefer TITANS being part of JL or do you prefer them to be independent?

I prefer them to be independent, especially since they were disbanded for some time and the JL gave Nightwing a list of potential members.

I think it makes them look weak and I prefer them to be independent and be like a modern interpretation of the JL.

Independent.

Independent Titans are the best version. Making them uunderlings of the JL makes them look incompetent.

Indipendent, they are not JL lite.
They are a family first, they stay together because they want spend time together.
This is the only start point you must have when writing Titans.
In every other way you’ll miss the core of this team and the result will be the one Dc had in the last 20 years (probably more).

Definitely independent. They are not a junior Justice League. Not something to "graduate" from. That was something clearly established in their most popular era. When they're not kids anymore, and that's a point that must be clear.

It also matters to me that the Titans all be heroes who are primarily a team whose members occasionally solo rather than solo heroes who team up (like the JL). I also think it works better with them all living in the same city, too. That does mean that as Wally and later Dick (and any others) become solo workers (with their own titles/cities) that they should leave the Titans. I know some people are very against Dick ever leaving, but I'm not. I'm also aware Wally had his own city even to start, but I still think it works better my way.

EDIT: Want to add that, to me, they don't start as a family, of course. Several have never met. And for years, they weren't. I mean, the NTT, not the Fab Five, who, of course, also had to build bridges early. But since this said Titans (not Teen), I thought we were talking later. I mean, even by COIE, Gar and Vic were close, and Kory was close with Dick and Donna, but Wally wasn't particularly close to Kory or Gar, you wouldn't find the same closeness between Donna and Gar or various other members. And for a while there, Raven could only be reasonably considered close to Wally or Jericho or just maaaaybe Vic.

Independent! They are their own team.
