Notes
- Teen Titans were created by Bob Haney, George Kashdan and Bruno Premiani, first appearing in Brave and the Bold Vol 1. However, in the rebooted Prime Earth continuity their first appearance as part of the DC Universe is in Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth's New 52 Teen Titans series.
Trivia
- Early on in the run, references were made to an another group going by the name of the Teen Titans, but this seemed to be retconned after the issues were published into trade paperback format, with panels of dialogue being altered or erased.[1] In contrast, it was said that Arsenal, Nightwing, and Starfire were once members of an earlier iteration of the Teen Titans that preceded the one created by Red Robin by several years.[2]
- A similar event happened in the Batwoman trade paperback, with a panel of Flamebird referring to herself as a Teen Titan and having battled Deathstroke being altered.[3]
