there's also the Superboy angle
Go back to TT of old, and he's no longer an issue.
Forgot Starfire. Her hair would have to be a disappointment.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Right, but we've already seen that in the cartoon. Which is why I was angling for the pre-IC lineup.
Speaking of live-action superheros, the local Six Flags park is apparently featuring the Justice League as part of their nightly parade now (they've featured Batman since the original movie. It was kind of a surprise when I worked then when I ran into the Batmobile parked in backlot the first time.) I only saw them for a few seconds in a commerical, but wow, talk about crappy-looking costuming. I can only imagine they'd look worse IRL.

I wish Birds of Prey had been done right. So much potential.
Tell me about it. Sigh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I don't read TT (since I haven't succumbed to the siren's comics call yet), but I love the animated show so much I would be very prejudiced against a live action version.

For values of we that don't include me, since I've never seen more than runs over into my recording of JLU. I have no idea how much of "classic" TT the comic mined, but there are a few pre-Superboy teams, and one post, though he's still quite present.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
A live-action Teen Titans couldn't possibly top the live-action Justice League. [link]

Does Lorne not count? I'm not sure I understand the specifications, so he might not. It just seemed funny to see people in Minearverse saying, "When's the last time there was a network TV show where someone regularly wore FX makeup?"

Lorne does count, and I completely forgot him in the regular category. His skin was okay, but I'm still skeptical (or forgetful) about Gar's hair.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't know that they'd invest in a fully green Gar. They'd probably settle for a nice emerald aura right before he changes shape. Cyborg? Slap a couple metallic looking appliances on his face. Starfire's hair? Do it like the cartoon and airbrush her with bronzer.

Life is eternal, Love is immortal, and death is only an illusion.
I miss Birds of Prey ALOT! To bad they had to rewrite and crew it up. The Comic is really good and the show could have been awesome.
Now I have to go elsewhere to see Shemar with a gunn. *sigh*
As to the Titans, if the kept with the small tight group there would be no more cost or effect then the do now for Smallville.
Use Dick Grayson.... Nightwing has no powers just lots of stunts.
Donna troy, in whatever version they want, is more raw strngth and is human like Clark.
They could use the same model to do cyboeg the did on SV.
Really the biggest money would go to Gar. And if they wanted to do it Starfire's hair.
But maybe for pazzaz add Bart(kid-flash) and you have his super speed.
I honesty don't think there would be much cost that is not in an average ep of SV, today. I would love to see it.
