8 Ways DC Could Actually Save Titans

7. Lift Young Justice's Model

Another beloved adaptation of a different superhero youth outfit, it's easy to see why Young Justice is well on its way back to the airwaves.

A more recent animated effort, having debuted in 2011, Young Justice won fans over with its mature take on adolescence and for an intricate and character-driven approach to storytelling. The first season was pretty much just a more serious version of Teen Titans, but the second saw a time gap and a change in roster, with Dick Grayson's Robin having made the transition to Nightwing, and a whole bunch more attempting to push themselves into the Justice League's main lineup.

The change in roster and time allowed the showrunners to approach a whole bunch of different themes too, with the older group navigating the world as young adults, and the new recruits all dealing with the melodrama of their teenage years - something the first season focussed on in particular.

What's more is that the series showed incredible maturity in navigating some pretty difficult subject matter, illustrating an age beyond its supposed years and reiterating the point that it doesn't matter if your series is dark - if it doesn't carry itself with a level of maturity, audiences will see straight through it.
