Warning: Spoilers for Black Lightning #3

DC is hinting at an all-new Teen Titans line-up, setting the stage for the fan-favorite team's epic comeback. While the Titans are as active as ever in the DC Universe, the Teen Titans haven't had much of a presence in recent memory. That absence could be drawing to a close, though, as their return is being teased via a moment that introduces an exciting roster of heroes old and new.

In Black Lightning #3 by Brandon Thomas, Fico Ossio, Ulises Arreola, and Lucas Gattoni, Lightning - the daughter of Black Lightning - wrestles with the idea of fighting villains as her superhero alter ego and decides to consult others who can relate to her experiences. She sets up a video call with several heroes from across the world, all of whom are teenagers like her.

This selection of young heroes would make a great line-up for the Teen Titans, and DC may be laying the groundwork for that team's return by pairing these unlikely characters together. After an extended hiatus, the Teen Titans could be coming back to DC's continuity.

This lack of presence is due in part to the fact that the team has split into two separate factions: the Titans and the Teen Titans. The Titans have risen to extraordinary heights after temporarily taking the Justice League's place, whereas the Teen Titans are nowhere in sight.

Since the team was founded decades ago, the Teen Titans have been a consistent presence in the DC Universe, headlining multiple ongoing series over the years. The most recent series led by the Teen Titans was DC's next generation could kick off a reunion.

Now, Lightning's video call has alluded to a new group that holds similar potential as a team. Lightning's powers resemble her father's due to her ability to harness lightning, as her hero name suggests, and she is far from the only powerhouse in the mix. Some of her friends have already been of the Teen Titans, whereas others would be first-time recruits.
