That's definitely Jakeem and Thunderbolt.
True, Jakeem did appear in an arc of Damian's TT, then after Damian abandoned the team, Jakeem joined the Academy as a new teammate for the remaining four members of the team - technically, he replaced Djinn (who left the Titans at the end of the arc Jakeem was in), with Bunker replacing Damian. The TTA book seemed to drop him after one appearance though, I wonder if delayed JSA plans are to blame for that.

More Batman from Tom King coming
Think we can say he’s worse than Snyder in being able to actually be “done” with Batman? Surprising DC hasn’t pushed him to do something with the other major Leaguers.

Obviously they are or DC wouldn’t keep giving him more Batman to do. He was in the hot seat for a bit after his Batman run, if he hadn’t been able to keep putting out books that sold well DC likely would have shown him the door.
For all the complaints about King his books are consistently one of DC’s top sellers, even when he mostly sticks to C-Lister characters. He has an audience that enjoys the “Tom King experience” and buys his stuff.

I've had enough Tom King, thank you. He can go off and write his own little King-verse Batworld and leave everything else alone.
I’ll look at it this way:
I have read Superman from 1986-2011, then picked it back up from 2016-2020. I lived through the courtship of Lois and Clark. Saw them engaged. Then broken up. Then married. And I enjoyed that. I invested in that. It kept me coming back week after week, year after year. Then, the New 52 happen. The relationship that was a huge subplot was gone. I tried it, but I missed that glue that held it together, and, sadly, I stopped buying. It hurt, but my Superman was gone….until Rebirth. It was there, I fell in love with the family dynamic with a kid named Jon. It was fun again….until they aged him up and took that away too.
Having said that, there are Tim fans who grew to love the kid since the early 90s. They probably also invested in Tim/Steph. They were a great couple. DC then fundamentally changed the character not unlike how they changed Superman in the New52. Those fans may try this new Tim, but may find it lacking as that it really ISNT the same character.
In that, I understand that it might not be bigoted to not like the new Bi Tim, not because readers hate all LBGTQ people, but because they grew to love all that came before the change.
