It's difficult to know, because we don't know how Bendis plans to develop the situation of these characters.
The change of Superman timelime erased New 52 Superboy and his adventures, that should change many things for these characters (it's pretty likely that New 52 Teen Titans never happened).
It's Young Justice, so it's unlikely they want the characters to be 18 or older. I guess the characters are about 16.

straight off Bendis' instagram
Well, the whole DCU was de-aged with the reboot, and outside of a few exceptions to that (like Superman and Lois) we're still technically working on that timeframe. As much as we're working with any particular continuity anyway, in this whole era of "Manhattan stole a decade" nonsense.
So Tim's 16 again, and has been since 2011, Bart was likely de-aged in the Speed Force just like Wally was so he's back to 14-16 (I always saw him younger than Tim and Conner). Cassie was 16 in the New52 (or thereabouts) and we have no idea if this is the same Cassie with a radical personality overhaul or what. And Conner doesn't currently exist in the DCU's history, despite people like Future Tim remembering him, so who knows what his whole deal will be?
I'm personally not looking too deep into it. I have some old favorites back together in recognizable forms with a creative team I *mostly* trust. Beyond that, I just dont care.

I'm guessing that Superboy is around 11 or 12, and Bart is -998 (give or take a decade). In terms of personal timelines, both are roughly two years old.
Rogue wears rouge.
Angel knows all the angles.
They should just give Cassie leggings and call it a day. I'm excited to see which villains Bendis is going to play around with.
It is fair to be annoyed at the team make up of young justice even though the actual line of books looks diverse and line up itself 4 girls and 3 guys which in a way is pretty diverse? I know lineups change but seeing a new team book it is a little disheartening to see "oh yeah token black person". Now don't get me wrong I get the significance of the "classic lineup" Robin, Impulse, Superboy and Wondergirl but here is the thing initial line up will once again end up being the "classic line up" more than likely. Years later they do this concept again oh yeah you got to use these 5 white characters they were the core of the run. Maybe it is comic pessimist speaking but year from now when most of the books are canceled( and what reason do we have optimistic the new age of heroes stuff with stuff like the terrifics and sideways are getting canceled) and basically the last book standing is Young Justice and all that diversity disappears. It feels like I have seen this movie before.
Now I hope I am wrong and they sell well because it looks like they are give a big push for diversity of all kinds and initially it looks great. Now we just need the people to support the books and DC to not mismanage them.
