Young Justice bar none. Teen Titans was a bastardized adaptation of the mercilessly underrated work of Marv Wolfman and George Perez' verison of the Titans.

Young Justice is better because it takes the material more seriously and doesn't resort to slapstick/anime style of humor that Teen Titans had an abundance of. Not only that but Young Justice was able to explore as much of the DC universe as they could, Teen Titans never made a single reference to the Justice League( Though Batman was referenced a couple of times) or featured that many characters beyond the Teen Titans property so it felt a bit small in scope by comparison.

I used to like Teen Titans as a kid, but it hasn't aged well for me since I've matured over the years. Young Justice on the other hand I can see myself enjoying as the years go on and on.

YJ season 1 was better than anything I saw on Teen Titans. YJ season 2 was not all that great storywise despite great animation and voicework. Its gotten worse for me on repeat. Teen Titans alternated between being pretty silly and being pretty awesome. I'd say Teen Titans was worse than season 1 YJ but had storylines that were better than season 2 YJ.

If we're talking about the first version of Teen Titans, not what's on now, I enjoyed Teen Titans more.

I love both shows but i'm going to have to give this one to Teen Titans. I'm really glad that young Justice threw in as many characters as possible and really gave us a terrific shared universe. But with Teen Titans only having 5 main characters and with 5 seasons, we really got a chance to know and love them. Both are 10/10 though.

Young Justice. While Teen Titans had its episodes, it mainly played up for slap stick (which is why it's back on the air as Teen Titans GO! which is all slap stick)

No Number is best. 3 builds better than 2. 2 loves better than 1 and 1 mind is better than 3.

JY season 1 was TT done right. Season 2 was a mistake. TT was TT done wrong, an insult to the classic Marv Wolfman-George Perez era of TT.

I like both. I think both were great in their own way.

The only thing that I have to criticize "Young Justice" for was the villains. The villains in "Young Justice" weren't really that great. Which is saying a lot considering the characters they used. You had Ra's Al Ghul, Lex Luthor, Vandal Savage, the Joker, Bane, etc. Yes they are in the shadow of "Batman TAS" and "Justice League" but so was "The Batman" and "Teen Titans". Both those shows manage to make their villains interesting and unique. So you can't really use that excuse. With the villains they needed to do a better job. The only villains I can remember standing out was Chesire and Killer Frost.

Now if you compare that to "Teen Titans" its a virtual landslide. All the villains on there were really well done. Even ones that weren't in the comic like Controlfreak. And it must be said that "Teen Titans" probably has the best adaptation of Slade aka Deathstroke so far in tv. Yes even better than the one in "Arrow". Sorry Manu Bennett but Ron Perlman was just way too dang awesome.

I preferred Teen Titans. The characters were a lot more lovable in my opinion.

I prefer Young Justice, especially in the villain department. The 1st season of Teen Titans was really good, and the 2nd season of Young Justice was pure genius. It ended way too soon. Was looking forward to the whole Darkseid season.
