Are we rating things by popularity/well knowness among the general pop culture audience or the comic readership audience? Because while Suicide Squad has gotten pushed a lot as far media aimed at a general audience (Though the JSA is starting to catch up), I'd argue the JSA is still more desired by the comic readership.

Agree or just use a name that does not define sexuality.
Infinity Inc is not being used. Nor is Young All-Stars or some of the Wildstorm team names.
I think folks forget there is a LOT of merchandise folks have that gets ignored. Especially if you don't have kids.Most of this stuff is rather recent. And while the SS have gotten two movies, one of them wasn't exactly a critical hit and they had to semi-reboot for the new one. The game hasn't come out yet and none of the animated movies they have are as popular as even Teen Titans Go (let's not forget the Titans have also gotten animated movies as well). I'm comfortable saying the Titans are in a better place than the Squad, at least for now.
Like stuff for Birthday parties, greeting cards, valentines, coloring books, activity books and so on.
On Amazon a search for Teen Titans (especially if you focus on books) is over 70 pages long. Suicide Squad (if you take out everything NOT related to them) might get you 40.
Also consider access-not every store stores either team. There is no Suicide Squad kids book and by kids I mean 5-10 years old.
The one major issue Teen Titans has is ROSTER-DC has showcased the Fab 5. We never saw Static nor Jaime nor Traci 13 nor Damian's version or Tim's version in animation form where they were NOT killed off or a background cameo. Heck the run with Static is no longer in print and depending on where you shop will set you back about $40-200.
The Squad is what on it's 4th or 3rd tv or movie version?
I think your giving to much credit to the bigots with the votes, the influx of votes came from the rallying of both sides wanting their property to win. If people who hate always dominated, we would have another term of trump right now. The way to move forward with JLQ at this point is to keep in contact with the writer, and let him know that people want this book so he can push internal rather then let it go. As it turns out the Robins book idea started from a discussion Tim Seely had with fans on twitter over a year ago, before he pitched it.
the green lantern project is gong hard right now
Yea, but I think it's probably more wise to have more secured votes. Also, I didn't know that Tim Seely had a discussions with fans about a potential Robins book in the past.
Nice to see Green Lantern still standing strong.
I think it would probably be Effigy.
Man I would love the Jesse Quick and the Green Lanterns books! Nothing else even remotely interests me.
No they haven't. The Fab 5 is Dick Grayson, Donna Troy, Garth, Wally West, and Roy Harper. But the team usually showcased is Dick + Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg. Donna's in the live action Titans but wasn't in the cartoon and only had a cameo in Young Justice. But Titans killed off Garth and didn't use Wally and Roy (maybe because of the Arrowverse).

I don't think you're actually rating popularity so much in that case so much as what WB considers "marketable". WB considers Suicide Squad more "marketable" to the general public than the JSA so they get a push. But none of these media necessarily translate back to making comics more popular. And given what is considered "marketable" to the general audience by WB can be quite arbitrary and not based on actual existing comic popularity, and media pushes have traditionally never had much carry over to increasing comic readership, I'm not sure it's actually accurate to say Suicide Squad is more popular than the the JSA. I think as far as the comic reading fanbase goes, the JSA is still solidly considered the third major DC superhero team despite how they been ignored by DC for years.
