DC's storied Titans line-up is getting a shake-up, as it dovetails more directly into the larger 'All In' initiative. It begins this March, as the long-running series gets a new creative team, a major roster change, and a new name to the book.

No, they're not going back to their old Teen Titans name. (Although we do know that something seems to be in the works for the Teen Titans in 2026.)

DC's current ongoing Titans series is being revamped to be called 'New Titans' with March's 33rd issue, owing to the new heroes joining (or is it returning?) the classic line-up of Nightwing, Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Donna Troy. While DC isn't announcing who the new members are, the New Titans #33 cover by Taurin Clarke shows them in silhouette. While we're not going to overreach and say who they are without being sure of it, the silhouettes sure look like Terra, Stephanie Brown (possibly as Spoiler or Batgirl), a Superboy, and a Wonder Girl. I'm not going to go out on a ledge and guess who the latter two are... instead I'll throw out a little hope its Jon Kent and Yara Flor. 

The 'New Titans' name is seems meant to evoke the makeover the book is getting in 2026, but also comes with a bit of history - it was the name the title carried for eight years beginning in 1988, as the team grew up and grew out of the 'Teen' part of the Teen Titans name.

The Titans series will be taken over by writer Tate Brombal (Batgirl) and artist Sami Basri. They're taking over from John Layman and Pete Woods, who have been working on the title since October 2024 - including charting the current arc, which sees the team participating in that multiversal crossover event DC K.O.

DC doesn't share what the story of the New Titans will be beyond leaning heavily in distinguishing it from the past, saying it will be "teeing up the next chapter for the next generation of DC Super Heroes with a roster of characters old and new."

That's two 'nexts' and one 'new' all in one sentence, so you can tell they're waiting to turn a page.

This New Titans overall comes as part of what DC is calling 'Act II' of the 'All In' era, set to kick off just as the current event series DC K.O. reaches its planned finale on March 4. New Titans #33 will be released March 18.
