Editorial meddling with Dan Jurgens' intent didn't help the matter, although he did get to use some lesser-used characters like Captain Marvel Jr. Ultimately the book was cancelled, but within a year was relaunched, consisting of an aged-down Atom and a bunch of new characters, but it wasn't very successful (to the point where poor Risk became C-List Fodder to the extreme with the morbid running gag of losing limbs to Superboy-Prime). This coincided with a lot more Executive Meddling with Wolfman having to introduce various characters he didn't have interest in actually using, such as Impulse from The Flash and the early '90s Supergirl. Fan favorite villain Deathstroke became a good guy and ally to the team, half the roster was slaughtered/turned evil/depowered, a Titans group from the near-distant future of 2001 arrived and were stuck in the past, and popular villain Terra was brought back in a sense as a genetically-altered doppelganger who didn't know her own past and strived to better the "Terra" name none of which really helped the book and ultimately led to the Batman editors having their big chance to take back Nightwing from the Titans (Wolfman had the sole rights to him since 1980), to the horror of fans of the book. The arrival of a new editor inspired Wolfman to shake up the book, using a subplot involving the mysterious "Wildebeest Society" that went on way too long and didn't have a very good ending. However, writer fatigue (aside from a very brief period in 1989 where he stepped away from the book, Wolfman wrote the comic for 16 years straight) and removal of the book from newsstands to prop up DC Comics' direct market line of books led to it collapsing into boredom and fan apathy.
This version was not only popular, but often considered DC's number one title at the time, a rival to the X-Men (which they eventually crossed over with), and a major definer of the tropes that came to be recognized as comics' Bronze Age. It was heavily character-based, with lots of conflict, romance, and soul-searching (that occasionally slipped into Wangst).

The series moved into Darker and Edgier territory, and was a trendsetter in that respect for instance, an early storyline involved them going up against " Deathstroke the Terminator," a paid assassin, and being infiltrated by the not-so-innocent Terra. It brought back Robin, Wonder Girl, and Kid Flash, and teamed them up with new characters Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire, along with previously-established character Beast Boy, now renamed Changeling. Written by Marv Wolfman and drawn by George Perez, this version of the series was the most successful and the most iconic (as well as being the version the 2003 animated series is most based on). In the Bronze Age, the series returned as The New Teen Titans, launched in 1980. Eventually, though, it was cancelled in 1973, brought back in 1976, and re-cancelled in 1978. Nevertheless, it was lighthearted and fun.

The book depended heavily on Totally Radical, with Fad Super villains like the Mad Mod and Ding Dong Daddy and hamfisted attempts to address the issues of the day. The issue sold notably well, and, after a few more tryouts and the addition of Wonder Girl (despite that she was actually intended to be the original Wonder Woman as a girl, and not a contemporary sidekick) and Speedy, became an ongoing series. The original series began back in The Silver Age of Comic Books, with a one-shot story in The Brave and the Bold #54 (July, 1964), where three Sidekicks, Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash, teamed up. Often referred to as a " Justice Little League," though more often as a "Junior Justice League." The most famous team of teenage Super Heroes in The DCU (but not the first). Wonder Girl, Starfire, Robin, Cyborg, Changeling, Raven, Kid Flash
