Is the Teenage in the title holding the Turtle back in non comic versions?

Many of us, while we grew up on the Fred Wolf cartoon, have been wanting to see the TMNT portrayed a bit more seriously, but they have been forever held back due to what the Fred Wolf cartoon set in motion. But, is the FW cartoon to blame, when the title itself has Teenage in it?

It just seems, the cartoons will not go beyond the teenage years of the boys, allowing them to branch out like The X-Men, Batman and other comic book properties. Do you think we will ever see a version in our lifetime that depicts the Turtles well after their teen years? Or will this be for a long time now, it's fate resting in the hands of soccer moms and studio execs not seeing past the Teenage aspect?
