Rumors circulating about Donna Troy appearing on the show

That was part and parcel of the 2003 show's really, really, nonstandard take on being an adaptation, though, which hasn't been repeated by any adaptation since. Most later takes on the group have endeavored to be more comics accurate - which included not taking such an extremely isolated take on the group to the point where they cut out almost all heroes that weren't the Titans.

Not necessarily. You can establish that characters exist without having them be used onscreen.
Like how the Teen Titans were mentioned as existing in the DCAU on Static Shock, for instance, even though the DCAU had no intention of actually using the characters (since, iirc, by that time since the Murakami series was already using them).
In any case, I doubt access to characters is going to be a big problem for this show. Except Kid Flash and Speedy, barely any Teen Titans related characters are being used elsewhere at the moment. Barely any of them have any exposure at all (again, thanks to the classic show only adapting a small portion from itself only a couple years of a single run of the comic), so it's doubtful DC is going to be interested in stopping them from using anyone they want to.

Supergirl attempted the same thing in its first season by referencing Superman but never showing him, but they eventually bit the bullet and had him appear in person in Season 2 because it was getting awkward.
Speaking of which, it sounds like Batman will appear, at least in flashbacks
.
Most of the characters with enough content to really own shows from the Titans already have their own series (or have related series), so I doubt it. I'd watch a Wonder Girl show, though.
I mean, Robin / Nightwing could. But who knows if they're allowed to specifically spin off into any specifically Batman mythos series with Gotham still around.

Didn't see that coming.
