History Trivia / Teentitans

** Scott Lobdell has said that Aqualad was supposed be part of his new Titans line-up, but that the idea was axed at the last minute due to the character being fleshed out in another title.
** Duela Dent's reappearance in ''Team Titans'' was meant to reveal that she was a member of the team who'd been driven insane by time travel. In the back of one of the final issues during ''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime'' there was a mock preview for a story involving Duela getting her hands on a reality-warping device and using it to turn New York into what it had been during the 1970s.
*** The issue where the Titans mourn Duela's death was originally pitched by Geoff Johns to be an issue of her officially joining the team.
*** Had Bob Rozakis' original '70s run not been cancelled, Duela and Bette would have been part of a love triangle for Robin's affection.
** Phil Jimenez wanted the second Terra and the Teamers to be from an alternate Earth, and had also played with the idea of revealing her to be a lesbian.
*** Originally there was to be a subplot with this Terra in the ''52'' series and ''World War 3'', in which she would have been driven to insanity by the paranoia of being the original Terra and wind up becoming a villain. She would then be killed by Atlee in self-defense, while trying to take down the Titans. A reference to this scrapped plot was made in the Terra miniseries, due to the first few issues of the series having been written during the original plan.
** In an 2005 interview with Titans Tower, Jonathan Peterson stated that Danny Chase was going to be revealed as the true leader of the Team Titans, before it was revealed to be Monarch during ''Zero Hour''.
*** He also said of his original plan for ''Teen Titans'' (volume 2) following after ''Team Titans'': It was going to depict alternate universe, yet younger versions of the New Teen Titans roster (Robin, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Changeling, Raven, Starfire and Cyborg).
** Geoff Johns has mentioned several times that during the relaunch back in 2003, he lobbied for ComicBook/{{Static}} to be part of the team but couldn't get permission due to licensing issues.

** There is a LOT of this for the series, but in a more current example: That pregnant silhouette shown in a foreshadowing page towards the end of Sean [=McKeever=]'s run was meant to be Miss Martian's nemesis, Sun Girl, who would have become pregnant with Inertia's child before he died and would have sought out Kid Flash to help her raise the baby. Editorial hated the idea and nipped it at the bud.
** It seems there even was a plan in place to eventually bring Kid Devil back from the dead. Unfortunately, Dan Didio nixed it, citing Eddie's death as the first example of "dead means dead" for the DC Universe. Well, until the next change in management comes about we'd suppose.

** Sun Girl was meant to reappear in [=McKeever=]'s Teen Titans run, having been impregnated with Inertia's child and seeking help from the Titans (presumably using the fact that Inertia is a clone of Kid Flash as leverage). Editorial didn't like the idea, although a hint of this scrapped story is shown with her pregnant silhouette being shown in an "Events to come" spread.

** The Johns' era:
*** John Byrne's unpopular erasure of the Doom Patrol's past was undone thanks to a battle with Superboy Prime.
*** Resurrecting Jericho with his original, pre HeelFaceTurn personality.
*** Both Rose Wilson and Cassandra Cain's bouts of insanity were explained away by Deathstroke drugging them during Johns final arc on the title, with Cassandra restored during it.
*** Cutting down on the number of mentor titans after fans complained and making Robin the leader of the team post One Year Later.

* NamesTheSame:
** There was previously a villainous "Titans East" at the end of Geoff Johns' run, along with a heroic freedom fighter-type version that appeared in an alternate future.
** Originally, Slade Wilson was Deathstroke the Terminator, just shortened to Terminator. The ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' put an end to that.
** Pantha is not to be confused with another CatGirl, Pantha, of Warren Publishing, who earlier debuted in ComicBook/{{Vampirella}} #30, in January, 1974.
** Koriand'r is actually the third DC Comics character to use the moniker ComicBook/{{Starfire}}, after the Russian superhero (who now goes by Red Star) from the Silver Age ''Titans'' series, and an ActionGirl who briefly headlined her own comic in the seventies before getting absorbed into the ''Star Hunters'' book, which was eventually cancelled.

** There was a proposed live-action adaptation that was supposed to air on TNT, but it never made it past the pilot stage. {{Subverted}}, now that it's being made as ''Series/Titans2018'' for DC's new private streaming service planned for 2018.

* ThrowItIn: According to Creator/GeorgePerez, he was sketching some designs for Starfire when Joe Orlando passed by, glanced at them and suggested making her hair longer. [[RapunzelHair Perez listened]].
