Building on this, I think that Young Justice and Titans have two entirely different problems (both born from Didio's editorial.

Titans are fucked because of how they were treated post-Wolfman, that being a collection of sidekicks coming together whose development occurred alongside the Titans rather than within it. Best example of this is Nightwing who is treated as if he just ran off had a couple of adventures with the Titans etc, rather than growing into his own man within the Nightwing and something entirely different from Batman. Likewise, the Titans having their own place within DC and their own vibe, which was basically embracing the whole interconnected and maximalist nature of the DC universe, but that is ignored for "sidekick team".

Likewise, the Young Justice gen are fucked both because of how Didio, Johns and their sex pest mate treat them. See, prior to YJ, the teen team were treated very much as their own take on their aspect of the mythos with their own corner cut out. Although Connor was called Superboy, he had his own thing going on with Cadmus, as did Impulse and even Tim Drake/Cassie despite being obvious replacements for prior roles and characters.

Although each of them were connected to a larger superhero, they basically took a lot of the basic ideas and twisted them in a different direction.

Then along came Graduation Day then afterward Didio, Johns and the sex pest. Rather than embrace the unique aspects of these younger heroes, they tuned them into younger versions of their mentors.

Although this might get me some hate from the Jon and Damian fanboys (Trinity fans are CIA psyops), they represent the endgame of DC and its treatment of younger heroes and its own universe. No originality in the themes or embracing the strange nature of superheroes. Just make junior versions of each character and keeping the same boring, watered down themes with any "update" essentially being glorified edge/
