At the interview at iO9 commenting on this morning's #1 announcements, Dan Didio and Jim Lee had this to say about the Teen Titans and Tim in particular (emphasis mine):
Kid Flash, Superboy, and Wonder Girl are part of the Titans roster, but they don't look exactly look like themselves.
DD: All of these characters have history with the DC Universe that existed before the team is built, but it might be just slightly different. But I think in capturing the voice and the spirit of these characters, I think they're exactly who people think they are.
JL: There are going to be a lot of surprises.
DD: I think you're looking at every one of the former Robins to have a real showcase book, and this will be the primary showcase for Tim Drake.
Every one of the former Robins, Mr. Didio? Even a certain blonde ex-Batgirl? We shall see, but I won't get my hopes up…
