Thinking about everything that Jason says and does after he comes back… he would not be a Wonder Woman fan. I know that’s popular fanon, and people use it to say he’s such a feminist or whatever, but Diana’s mission and everything she stands for is Jason’s antithesis
honestly though tim probably has an entire section dedicated to him in the dc in-universe wikipedia page about the event "The 1999 Government Isolation and Abandonment of Gotham City"
Once i read all of golden age and silver age and bronze age and pre-crisis in general and post crisis and new52 and rebirth and all the different events and crossovers and learn all of the writers’ histories so i am aware of their biases and influences when creating those stories and familiarise myself with the cultural/social/political climate of when those comics were written to be able to understand and analyse them well from both a watsonian and doylist perspective it’s over for you all
The OG Titans forming when all of them are already performers, they're so young when they become heroes, the youngest to ever do it, and that makes them unnaturally good at performing for others. Everyone knows Dick does this—he's always putting on a show, look at me I'm fine, I'm exactly what you need and who you think I am don't look behind the curtain you'll see all my flaws and guilt. And most people understand that Donna does as well—her perfectionism is legendary. But it's not just them it's Wally—everything is FINE FINE FINE, I am handling the death of my mentor and one of the only people to CHOOSE me just FINE. It's Roy—if they all think I'm a flirt and a prankster and not serious maybe they won't realize that I'm the reason everyone leaves me. It's Garth—I was abandoned as a child, I had no name, but why would that bother me, I'm not lonely, I'm not alone.
"Yes, I can handle this, yes I'm old enough, yes you can trust me." as kids to their mentors -> "Of course we knew what we were doing, you can trust me to fill the role my mentor left when he died, I am a confident adult and mother/father, I can handle this just fine on my own." as adults to everyone.
So much of the Fab Five's internal conflict comes up when they perform for each other as well. "Why are you performing for me. I know you, I see you and you see me."
Titans 1999 #15&16 is literally what happens when they aren't honest with each other, they're all so busy acting like nothing's wrong while still feeling hurt that it causes more problems. It's not until they're honest with each other, warts and all that the conflict is truly resolved. They were so busy trying to maintain the status quo when the whole point of having each other is to have a place where they don't have to do that. The beauty of the five of them is that they love each other IN SPITE of their perceived flaws, and the performance is almost an insult to the bond they have.

Well obviously that's a subjective question that I can't actually answer for you, but I can show you who pops up the most!
If you want to look at the full breakdown you can check out this link, but I've simplified it for you here. I used League of Comic Geeks as my source, but I made sure that a comic was only counted once per character (for example if Dick appeared as both Robin and Nightwing in the same issue, it only counts once). If you would like an entire list of the comics and characters I included, you can find it under the cut (it's long).
First up we have a very straightforward count. Who appears in the most Teen Titans and Titans comics between 1966 and October 2025?
In an insane turn of events, Donna and Dick appear in exactly the same amount of comics. Wonder Twins for the win.
However, if you use League of Comic Geeks you'll know that it includes every character who shows up in a a comic, even if they are just in a photo on another character's wall. So, I decided just appearing wasn't enough, and I went through every comic and removed it from the characters total if they were only listed as a cameo:
It doesn't change a lot, but it does allow Donna to pull ahead of Dick.
Now there was also a discussion being had about the inclusion of Team Titans and/or Terror Titans, and well I was planning to make all these different counts for that, it ultimately didn't matter. If you include Team Titans Donna soars above Dick, but of the top ten that's the only thing that changes. In fact, the Top Ten stays the same no matter what element I changed, so instead of running through all the options I'm just going to give you that.
And finally here's a few extra numbers that I found interesting.
Gar's handful of appearances in the original Teen Titans run make him the only character to appear in all of the mainline comic runs, beating out Dick who only missed the 2011 run and Donna who missed 2011 and 2014.
I also want to shout out poor Bette who I feel like is constantly cited as a member of the Titans, but came in 2nd to last with cameo and dead last without them, only having 13 non-cameo appearances.
The point is: going forward Donna better be included in every Titans adaptation. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
I tried to include any character I thought could be argued was a Titan, here's the full list:
Donna Troy, Dick Grayson, Garfield Logan, Raven, Roy Harper, Wally West, Cassie Sandsmark, Tim Drake, Koriand'r, Victor Stone, Garth, Lilith Clay, Damian Wayne, Rose Wilson, Bart Allan, Argent, Karen Beecher, M'gann M'orzz, Joseph Wilson, Kon-El, Jesse Chambers, Tara Markov (all versions), Miriam Delgado, Emiko Queen, Wallace West, Jon Kent, and Bette Kane.
I have only read through Teen Titans 2003 myself, so sorry if I missed someone from later on.

being a comics fan is like i could give you some general information abt any given character but i'm not necessarily a scholar of theirs you would have to see a specialist to be sure. the same way like in a pinch a pediatrist could tell you you were having a heart attack but you probably want to follow up with a cardiologist

The thing about Batman Cass is she's the only person on earth that would benefit from being Batman. Any other character becoming Batman is a sign that their life has completely spiraled out of control. This does include Bruce.
not 2 brucepost but i wonder if he ever looked down at his bloodied kevlar gloves and remembered his fathers deft fingers stitching together the wounds of a mob boss with zero hesitation. i wonder if he looked at his stained hands and all he could think about was how he was the ultimate inverse to what his father stood for, his fists being used to bruise and break instead of heal
