Young Justice animated series

[Raph's Girl]

Ok. Now here's the deal. Yesterday rumours started flying that there is gonna be a tv series based on Young Justice. Starting with a post on a website by one of the actors voicing one of the characters (a post that has since been taken down). Reportadly the folks at WB were not pleased at the leaked info but more info has been coming out just the same.

So far the only casting is that of Arrowette (voiced by Stephanie Lemelin).

More and more info will be coming out in the coming months and reportadly all will be revealed this summer at San Diego Comic Con.

The cast of characters consists of Young Justice, Teen Titans with the JLA mixed in with Miss Martian, Aqualad, Nightwing, Impulse, Arrowette, and Connor Kent as the main characters. Yay! Miss Martian!

Here are what are supposed to be the first images of Arrowette and Aqualad. Now I've never read the Young Justice comics so I don't know much about them but was Aqualad black in that series??

Aqualad wasn't in young Justice.

It seems like they've just mixed YJ with 80's Teen Titans.

YJ was originally Robin, Impulse, Superboy, then added Arrowette, Dusk, Wonder Girl, etc.

The Cartoon Network Upfront is today!

Young Justice revealed! Looks like we got Superboy, Miss Martian (YAY!), Robin, Artemis (not arrowette), Aqualad (the token), and Kid Flash.

In Young Justice, being a teenager means proving yourself over and over—to peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself. But what if you’re not just a normal teenager? What if you’re a teenage super hero? Are you ready to join the ranks of the great heroes and prove you’re worthy of the Justice League? That’s exactly what the members of Young Justice—Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis—will find out, whether they have what it takes to be a proven hero. This all-new series is produced by Warner Bros. Animation and based upon characters from DC Comics. Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) is the executive producer. Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under the Red Hood, Superman Doomsday, The Batman) and Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, The Spectacular Spider-Man, W.I.T.C.H.) are the producers.

Yay!! Greg Weisman!! So we can expect some Gargoyles cameos! :D

[Brodie]

"The token"?Did you just...oh, wow.


And you really think they'd put in Gargoyles cameos? Doubt it.

Especially since they've been tied to Disney for so long.

[Cure]

I'll check it out. Could be cool.

The only time you'll see a Gargoyle crossover is if Wiesman writes it as a convention-exclusive play like he did for the "true" finale of The Spectacular Spider-Man

[Cure]

Screw you, Zarius! What do you know about the finale of Spectacular? Tell meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[ZariusTwo]

Screw you, Zarius! What do you know about the finale of Spectacular? Tell meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Greg got the casts of both TSSM and Gargoyles together at ComicCon (the TNG cast were there to promote their Family Guy apperance I think), wrote an albiet non-canocial crossover that they performed for the fans. You can find it on Youtube,

When I said "true" it just my own opinion, since it ended it on a better note than "Final Curtain"

[Newton Gimmick]

Black Aquaman? How, uh... Original? Yeah.

Would it have been that hard to put an actual black superhero in that role? I mean... REALLY?

[Fledermaus]

Black Aquaman? How, uh... Original? Yeah.

Would it have been that hard to put an actual black superhero in that role? I mean... REALLY?

I think it's for reasons related to every human-looking "advanced" civilization in the known cosmos (and earth) is of Aryan Caucasian ethnicity in the DC world. They're trying to make up for this by making at least a few of these advanced races dark-skinned. Plus, why invent a new superhero when it's much easier to change the face of an existing one (one who isn't too obscure or lame, but isn't so popular that an army Moonie fans will be demanding blood if the hero's ethnicity is changed)? Imagine if this was done to Batman, Spider-Man, Super-Man or Wolverine. Right, you can't imagine it, because it will never happen.

And, aside from needing to keep him blond, because Aquaman has traditionally been blond in the comics, it's possible that the designers wanted to make the Atlanteans of this universe a diverse multicultural PC paradise... or, less laughably, their own ethnicity with a bit of everything (everything meaning - exotic non-white bone structure and skin tone, but with the "superior" blue eyes and blond hair present in every advanced society... otherwise known as hot platinum blond with dark tan look). Disney has already done this with their design of Atlanteans:

http://th06.deviantart.net/fs41/300W/i/2009/038/7/6/Atlantis_Kida_by_nippy13.png

A similar thing was attempted with Green Lantern: okay so we need our token black character - but he can't just be plain black. He has to look exotic so we don't turn off the white viewers. Give him green eyes!

http://www.ifanboy.com/images/ifanboy/JL_Green%20Lantern.jpg

Ok, but getting off the topic of race and back to the upcoming show itself... I'm very excited. I am a huge fan of Weisman and have been hoping he would take on a new project - if not continue SSM (but sadly, doesn't look like it'll be happening anytime soon :( ). The man not only knows how to tell great, action-packed, thought-provoking stories, but is also a master of depth, continuity and character development... which is something that most other super-hero series, even decent ones like Justice League rarely attempt - or attempt for a while and then crap out somewhere down the line. Haven't seen Witch, but I've seen the entire 2 seasons of Gargoyles and Spectacular Spider-Man. My hopes are high. :)

[GK Punk]

No Arrowette? God dammit.

They didn't have to invent a black superhero, there are already black superheroes. They could have easily put one into this role. Changing the race of Aquaman is lame. Sorry, no way around it.

JL didn't change the race of Green Lantern, they used another already established GL to move the story along.

As a longtime Aquaman fan I'm just blown away that they thought they could do something like this and it'll just fly. Black people see right through this. Everyone does. It's lame.

If Black Kids need a superhero who's on the level with DC's heavy hitters... GIVE THEM ONE, don't just put a whitey in black face.

[Candy Kappa]

guess it's Cal Durham cast under the aqualad name

[Newton Gimmick]

I guess that would work. Just seems like such an obvious race ploy. I guess we'll have to see what they do with it.

Thanks for speaking for all black people. Black people don't care because most of them don't watch superhero cartoons anyway and the ones that do damn sure don't give two sh*ts about Aqualad's race.

Seriously. Who cares? Does it really affect anything at all? Is Aqualad going to be running around with a ghetto blaster made of coral or something?

You slam me for speaking for all black people, by speaking for all black people?

Hilarious.

I could give you a million reasons why this is nonsense, but it's a moot point. If you don't care, you really shouldn't respond. I'm just not a fan of needlessly changing a character to shamelessly appeal to other demographics. Core elements of characters shouldn't change. Race being one of them.

Assuming this is a entirely new Aqualad, it's more plausible and tolerable as I mentioned in another post.

[The Stryker]

I think I have a bigger platform to stand on than you do when it comes to speaking for the darkies. I remember when Kingpin was black and how angry the nerds were for like 3 months.

[Newton Gimmick]

Nah, you don't. However you're entitled to your opinion. If you're cool with it, that's great. You just can't take me to task for something and then do it yourself. It's hypocritical and renders your argument empty as a result.

[Brodie]

"Nah, you don't" ....uh....He probably does have more a say in it or basis for opinion on the matter being that he's black.

You're making it sound like you have more of a basis to argue against it than an african american male. And you come off as offended, or seemingly trying to state why others should be offended for such an atrocity, then you say he shouldn't argue a point because it sounds hypocritical? No, it'd be hypocritical if he was just another white guy doing the same stuff you did. He was only stating that being part of that demographic, he has a little more say in some sort of representation of that demographic than some white guy.

I'm just stating this as observation, to dissuade the possibility for mixed messages. I don't disagree with the idea that its generally a stupid ****ing idea to just make a preexisting character black, to "cater to a demographic." They could have brought in any other black superhero, for sure.

[Candy Kappa]

makes me think about generation X pilot, they made jubilee Caucasian, which was a facepalm in it's self.

besides, it's not gonna change the canon of the original, it's just a alternative story.

[Raph's Girl]

Wondering about the new Aqualad?? Well guess what! His origin story will soon be revealed in the comics! Yes that's right. Before we see him on tv we can read how he becomes Aqualad in Brightest Day 4. Apperantly he's from New Mexico. Interesting that they're doing this. It's a great way to introduce a new character. Shame they never did that with Chloe. :P

There's a picture of him here:
http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/06/11/brightest-day-exclusive-who-is-the-new-aqualad/

[Raph's Girl]

Some more info on new Aqualad (who's actualy appearing in Brightest Day 10 not 4):

When we first meet Aqualad in BRIGHTEST DAY he’s Jackson Hyde. An average student, with an on-and-off girlfriend, that’s pretty bored in New Mexico.

Since he was young, he’s been taught by his parents to fear water…they don’t want him near it because his true parents would be able to locate him. Not to mention certain changes happen to Jackson when he gets in the water.

Jackson has kept this secret hidden for years, lying to his girlfriend about being afraid of drowning, being unable to swim and being in the dark about the mysterious tattoos he’s had since birth. He’s done his best to avoid it. But soon something’s going to force him out into the open and dive into the water.

Finally good cartoons for this day and age. Young Justice and Earth's Mightiest Heroes The Avengers both look very good. Can't wait to watch.

Casting News:

Bruce Greenwood is voicing Batman (reprising his role from Under the Red Hood)
Rob Lowe as Captain Marvel
Jesse McCartney as Robin
Khary Payton as Aqualad
Jason Spisak as Kid Flash
Nolan North as Superboy
Danica McKeller (Winnie from Wonder Years) as Miss Martian
Stephanie Lemelin as Artemis

[Raph's Girl]

Ok. Some new info has come out regarding the characters:

1: Robin is Dick Greyson, he's 13
2: Superboy is Connor... he's a newborn. About 16 weeks old
3: Miss Martian is now Martian Manhunter's daughter. So she's K'hym J'onzz..
4: Aqualad is the leader and is the son of Black Manta
5: Batman will show up ALOT.... they should just rename this show what it really is...The Outsiders. Batman's apperantly the leader of the Justice League...weird
6: It's part of the multi-verse. Earth 16 to be exact
7: Kid Flash is Wally
8: Nolan North is voicing both Superman and Superboy.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/SuperHeroTooniverse/news/?a=21712

Edit: Slight correction. Greg Weisman now says that Miss Martian is Martian Manhunter's niece....therefore making her the daughter of J'onn's evil brother Ma'alefa'ak. Hmm http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?rid=866

[Raph's Girl]

Stuff learned from the Young Justice Panel at NY Comic Con:

1: The JLA is a new org consisting of the following members: Superman, Batman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow (voiced by Alan Tudeyk), Red Tornado, Hawkman, Zatara (Zatanna's dad), Captain Atom, Black Canary, Green Lantern John Stewart, Captain Marvel, and Hawkwoman (Hawkwoman? not Hawkgirl?)

2: Robin is Dick Grayson, voiced by Jesse McCartney. He's the youngest member of the group at age 13, but he has the most experience. His parents were killed at Haley's Circus and adopted by Bruce Wayne four years prior.

3: Kid Flash is Wally West, 15, and good friends with Robin. Voiced by Jason Spisak. Not as fast as the Flash, and he can't stop on a dime -- he has to skid to a stop. He's very much into using his momentum as a weapon, so his costume has shoulderpads and kneepads. Vietti: "His body is like a human cannonball... he has a little bit of a parkour approach." His goggles can also see different light spectrums.

3: Khary Payton (Cyborg from Teen Titans) will be playing Aqualad. This 16-year-old Atlantean is not Garth -- but Garth, his best friend, WILL be in the series. Apparently Payton really wowed the producers with his voice. As seen in Brightest Day (but apperantly his origin is slightly different than Brightest Day), Aqualad has a big secret -- his father is Black Manta. His tats help him bend and control water.

4: Superboy is 16 weeks (but looks years) and voiced by Nolan "Raphael" North. Weisman says it's a new interpretation of him.

5: Miss Martian is uh... 40 Earth years old, which is equivilent to 16 Martian years. Greg Weisman obviously thought the whole ages slower than humans thing in Gargoyles worked out quite well in Martians... Danica Keller voices Miss Martian.

6: Still not revealing who Artemis is darnit!!

7: Red Tornado is the den mother of the kids. Black Canary (the daughter of the original) is combat trainer.

8: Besides the mentors of the kids (Superman, Batman, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman) we'll also be seeing alot of Zatara and Capt. Marvel. Nice that Zatara was given a major role for once.

9: Capt Atom is um... a background character

10: Crispin Freeman voices The Guardian!

11: Don't be surprised to see the Wonder Twins.....

12: No embargoes in this series (there were originally a couple) so ANYBODY from the DCU can and probably WILL show up!

13: The series will premier Nov 26th

6 minute "trailer."

The animation looks pretty stellar. Leagues (ha) above the Avengers show thats on now, and I really dig that. But it looks awesome. I liked some of the designs, but seeing them in action really sells this.

Still pissed they changed Impulse to Kid Flash, but I'll live, since they gave him the goggles.

[ToTheNines]

Very, very cool. But I agree... should have been Wally + Impulse instead of Barry + Kid Flash. They're even using Wally's symbol and I think that's Josh Keaton voicing him (he was Wally in Crisis on Two Earths).

[A little *too* Raph]

So is anybody watching this? I have been recording the episodes but actually got around to watching the 1 hour "movie" premier last night. I thought it was really good. The animation was quality and the story seemed pretty solid. I hope that the actual half hour episodes are as good.

1st 2 eps (the pilot) were good. episode 3...eh not so much. Episode 4 tho was pretty good and I like how Bane was depicted. The thing that annoys me about this show is Robin. He gives himself away too much with this weird laughter. Seriously when he's about to attack you hear this weird cackle. Batman probably decided it would be good for him to be on a team just so he could fight crime in Gotham in peace. *lol*

[A little *too* Raph]

It may have been mentioned before, but is Bruce Timm in charge of this?

[Raph's Girl]

No. Young Justice is an entirely different universe. Litterally. It's Earth 16. Greg Weisman (The Batman, Spectacular Spider-Man, Gargoyles) and Brandon Vietti (producer of Under the Red Hood) are in charge of things.

Yeah I know Cure I jst was wondering how far along that got in terms of producing eps or if there was even going to be a second season, bc it seems like they r not giving Young Justice any air time and the new eps come out in spurts.

I jst thought of giving a much needed update even if the update is old...what can I say I tried :P

[oldmanwinters]

I keep on theorizing about which character is gonna die whenever I watch this show! It's a morbid practice, I know...

Here's my rankings on a scale of 1 (most likely to get axed) to 7 (impossible to have a show without this character).

1. Artemis
2. Aqualad
3. Superboy (Conner)
4. Miss Martian
5. Kid Flash
6. Zatanna
7. Robin

Wild Card: Speedy/Red Arrow

Killing off Artemis seems the most obvious option, given her shadowy backstory and the fact that she appears to be spying on the team from time to time. She feels like the new Terra equivalent. She'll probably reveal herself to be a true hero and friend right before she meets her demise. Kid Flash will have to do some growing up as he deals with her loss. Also, getting her out of the way opens up the way for Speedy to become the full-time archer. [And surely they wouldn't kill Speedy, would they?]

Killing Aqualad opens up the way for Robin to take over the team as the unquestioned leader.

Killing off Superboy seems impossible, but it would probably be ideal from a the writers' point-of-view. It's tough to write believable plots for nearly invulnerable characters who seem to possess every conceivable superpower except magic and telepathy.

Killing off Miss Martian would provide a the hardest emotional punch to the team, especially Superboy. It could lead to some very interesting character development episodes for how her teammates react to the loss of their most innocent and feminine member. However, it would also handicap the writers by removing the ever-convenient power of telepathy. It just makes their jobs easier having a character who can both read the thoughts of villains and communicate with the whole team without anybody opening their mouths. Less exposition to plan for and less animation to worry about. However... there is the possibility that Zatanna is being groomed to replace her. She's already shown that her powers can have very similar efficiency at getting info out of the bad guys.

As stated by the kill-Superbody argument, killing off Kid Flash would also give the writers a break. Even Bruce Timm confessed his frustrations with having to write believable plots for a character so fast he could probably do just about anything he wants. But, this is the Wally West version, and he's probably too popular to kill off before he even hits puberty.

Killing off Zatanna? There's no way. Everybody loves Zatanna! And killing her off as a kid would just be even more insane.

Kill Robin? Holy blasphemy, Batman! You can't have this show without Robin. The only way they would ever do that is if they were desperate to prove to the world that "We aren't like that old last-decade Teen Titans show at all! Look what we just did! Muhahah!"

Kill Speedy? Don't we need to get a little more attached to Speedy before killing him off would have any emotional impact? He's been on screen for a total of what... 45 minutes?

Of course, I suppose they could always just kill off a major Justice League member without much consequence to the main cast. But I can't remember if Weisman said the unlucky character would be a member of the YJ team or not.

[Redeemer]

I still cant believe one of them is going to die...ugh....I wish their was a spoiler tag.....actually there was probably one and curiosity killed the cat sort of thing but it will definitely be interesting.

[oldmanwinters]

Eh, I thought "Failsafe" was sorta lame. It was the generic, "let's kill off EVERYBODY for shock value and then reveal it was all a dream!" episode. The writers didn't have to worry about the plot making sense or about coming up with creative ways to kill off major heroes, since they had the convenient option of simply shooting every one with a beam and having them disintegrate without a trace.

It felt like a desperate attempt to hold the viewer's attention until we get to the big reveal at the end. It felt like a wasted 20 minutes for me. However, I did like the counseling sessions with the team members in follow-up episodes. Also, the upcoming "Invasion" season will probably make some of those nightmare scenarios into real events. So maybe the creative team plans to get a lot of mileage out of that fairly cliche "Failsafe" episode.

The DCAU Justice League episode "Hereafter" used a similar plot point (to a much better degree) with Superman being hit with Toyman's beam and seemingly "disintegrated," with only Batman realizing that matter shouldn't disappear without a trace.

Cartoon Network has damn near ruined my interest in the show. I'm gonna watch the new episodes, but I'm not really excited about them.

I'm getting kind of fed up with Cartoon Networks dvd releases. They started with just volumes. Now its a set of the first 3 volumes. Its 12 episodes... Just release a season, or half a season. Brave and the Bold did it, and its awesome. Scooby Doo mystery inc did it for the second half of season 1 and its great.

For real, DC & CN ought to do right by their fans rather than confuse them with multiple DVD releases of the same episodes. Either be clear that the smaller sets are budget titles for the cautious or casual fan, or scrap that practice and give us the proper releases!

WB did the same thing with the Teen Titans' animated series with minor half DVD releases before upgrading to the seasonal sets, so it isn't anything new. Actually, I didn't mind it with the Titans, as some of the coding was better in the minor sets. Still, it's frustating, as CN, until recently, has been spotty in releasing the rest of Season 1.

Or, "how could the second half of Season 1 soon be on DVD already, when it hasn't even aired on television, yet?" Something like that. They'll wise up, sooner or later.

Also, love your avatar -- I'm a Soundwave geek, too.

Yeah, I'm with you guys. Good stuff. Though I think the Fate helmet stuff is kinda overdone at this point. At least it seemed permanent at the end.

[oldmanwinters]

I do kinda like the idea of Zatarra as Mr. Fate. That should make him about the most powerful "hero" in the DC Universe! Also, it does force Zatanna's character to do some quick growing up since she's now pretty much an orphan. The only thing I really hate about losing him is that now Batman won't have his go-to dialogue partner.

[ToTheNines]

Yeah, I'm with you guys. Good stuff. Though I think the Fate helmet stuff is kinda overdone at this point. At least it seemed permanent at the end.

I do get tired of magic stuff after so many times, but:

Hearing Fate's voice combined with Zatana's was pretty neat.

[ToTheNines]

Another great one this morning. Anyone catch it?

It was an easy hit for me, since it starred Wally, was a snow episode and Chicago got a quick scene.

Plus it didn't end with the Light basking in their own genius, I hate how most of these episodes do that.

[oldmanwinters]

I actually thought today's episode might have been the strongest of the series thus far from an emotional point.

It was one of those stories that revealed that sometimes the most important battle isn't the big fight being waged in the sky between demi-gods, but the seemingly insignificant troubles of regular people.

Here's to Wally West, the unsung hero!

Also,
Hugo Strange is one creepy mad doctor!

[Redeemer]

I do get tired of magic stuff after so many times, but:

I actually like seeing Fate....I think the story for fate is pretty interesting and how so much power comes with a price.

And yes I did see this mornings episode. At first glance I didnt think it would horrible compare to the others, but it turned out to be one of my favorites. I am also happy that they finally told Wally about Super Boy and Ms. Martian. Finally that horrible awkward moments of Wally hitting on her and not even realizing that she is taken:P

[oldmanwinters]

Wow, I used to think Raven from Teen Titans was the poster child of a heroine with "issues," but Miss Martian now takes the cake!

The reveal of her initial "secret" was funny and cute, but the lengths to which she willing to go to continue her charade were about the most disturbing thing I've seen in this show yet!

I'm actually starting to wonder if she's really from Mars.

In other news... woohoo, Marina Sirtis now has a recurring role on the show! I can't think of anyone better suited to voice a femme fatale; as soon as I heard her I thought, "It's Demona!"

EDIT:

No, seriously, this is a potential spoiler:Regarding my suspicions whether Miss Martian was supposed to be of the same race of Martian as Martian Manhunter, I did a little Wiki-ing and found out her comic counterpart is actually a "White Martian" (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?304710-Titans-General-Discussion-*SPOILERS*&p=10557117&viewfull=1#post10557117) who began masquerading as a "Green Martian" before being briefly ostracized from the Teen Titans. She returns after embracing her White Martian identity... but still keeps a humanoid appearance rather than her beastly form.

So, looks like the show might be adapting that storyline.

[Cure]

Yeah, Miss Martian is pretty f*cked up. Also, is this why she got all freaked out when Canary said she was "white" (but meant Caucasian) during their therapy session?

[Redeemer]

Really enjoyed this episode today, pretty solid all the way around, I dont think I will be re-watching this ep too many times though, bc this was mostly for story and character development.

[ToTheNines]

Yeah, MM is pretty twisted. Gotta feel bad for her though.

Great episode overall, but I wonder why Robin was acting so bummed about leading the team... he was all about it back in Drop Zone.

Beast Boy's new origin is really cool though, can't wait for him to join the team

I'm actually starting to wonder if she's really from Mars.

She's a white Martian.

Anyways, next week's episode is a Thanksgiving episode. I'm really pumped for it, since Superboy goes back to the Cadmus lab where he was born. Hopefully we got some answers.

[Raph's Girl]

White Martians and Green Martians used to be the same race and bred by fire (litterally). But then the Guardians/Oan's thought they were too powerfull and had the races become seperate. The Green's are more peacefull while the White's are more agressive and have attempted numerous times to take over the earth. Both have a fear of fire. Megan pretends to be Green because the White's are so hated and feared by everyone else.

Im still unsure how they're persuing this with the storyline for her in the cartoon. Yeah people in the comics know she's a White and semi-trust her... but is she really J'onn's niece?? When did the seperation of the races take place? I know J'onn has a brother but did he have another sibling? In one ep Megan says she has 12 sisters. Are they all whites as well or was she just fibbing?

I feel like such a noob. I never even suspected that the kid was Beast Boy's alter-ego. It makes total sense now. But I wonder if he'll go try to join the "Doom Patrol" first?

Also, I'm starting to think that with Zatanna and Beast Boy dividing up the duties of Miss Martian, she might end up being the character to meet a premature (if temporary) end, especially given her creepy backstory.

Too bad that "Invasion" trailer mostly consists of Season 1 footage.

Well he could if Rita Farr/Elasti Girl adopts him? Gar's mom (where was his dad anyways?) would have to unfortunatly die tho. But I think Rita could get custody of Gar. She could be like his god-mother or something since both Gar's mom and Rita were in Hello Megan. They could have become BFF's on the set. There's just SOO many possibilities for Beast Boy in YJ. In the comics he's also an actor. A Star Trek actor...he was in the DCU's equivilent to DS9. *lol*

It's clear to me that I dismissed so many important little references the first time I watched this episode.

I'd hate to have to deal with Garfield's over-protective mom constantly scolding him and the Titans... er Young Justice team for putting her little boy in dangerous missions. There's an old adage that superheros shouldn't have their moms around too often. :-)

[Redeemer]

Did anyone see this morning episode???? I over slept......:(

[ToTheNines]

Yeah, it was awesome. The League had a debate over which heroes should join and which current members should stay, we'll find out the results next week. Wonder Woman finally spoke and there was a funny joke at Guy Gardner's expense.

Superboy went back to Cadmus, which is awesome because the first 2 episodes are still probably my favorite of the series. Got some neat Lex Luthor stuff too...

Awesome!!!!! I am glad they r not going to take a long brake in between season's or even during the season:D

[oldmanwinters]

Back when this show started airing, I wondered it they were trying to keep a sense of "real-time" with its broadcast schedule. Thus, all the holiday episodes would end up airing around their respective holidays. But I guess it'll be Christmas in the Spring in a few weeks!

[Redeemer]

I watched this morning episode and was definitely an intense episode, definitely up to par with the rest.

We finally know why Artimus was hiding her identity from the others, Her dad is sports master!!!! :o I cant believe I didn't see that coming and her sister jade is the one behind the mask, wow I might hide my identity as well. But I have a question why does Sportsmaster and Jade argue so much???

Great ep if u havent gotten into this show u need to!!!!

[ToTheNines]

Went out for breakfast today and missed it, but the place I was at actually had Cartoon Network on so I caught the first few scenes. Anyone else catch "Spectacular" Josh Keaton voicing Black-Spider? That mad me happy, mad and sad all at once.

It was never lined up that way anyways. Both "original airdates" for the first episode (which took place July 4th) were in November then February.

Man, that opening was so confusing to my mind. It was the most shameless Spidey parody I've ever seen!

And the voice sounded so familiar, I wondered if it was a past Spider-man VA doing it. Good to know that that was indeed the case!

I wonder if it was Greg Weisman's not-so-subtle way of thumbing his nose at Marvel for prematurely axing a great show?

[Redeemer]

Dang it I was asking about Young Justice :x
lol jk I would watch the new Spidey show, but I dont get Disney XD :(
:ohwell:

[oldmanwinters]

lol jk I would watch the new Spidey show, but I dont get Disney XD :(
:ohwell:

I'm in the same boat! But I did pick up a free preview comic for "Ultimate Spider-man" #1, which looks to be composed entirely of screencaps from the first episode. I'd be lying if I said it didn't get me excited about the cartoon!

[ToTheNines]

Just caught the re-run, very intense episode. Anyone catch the Arrowette cameo at the beginning?

The main plot was really cool, can't wait to see how Artemis handles juggling all those secrets.

The secondary plot wasn't much, but I loved seeing Red Tornado's holiday decorations. Totally reminded me of "Invasion of the Secret Santas".

We finally know why Artimus was hiding her identity from the others, Her dad is sports master!!!! :o I cant believe I didn't see that coming and her sister jade is the one behind the mask, wow I might hide my identity as well. But I have a question why does Sportsmaster and Jade argue so much???

I already knew, but I guess it's because I read the tie-in comic book. Plus it was strongly hinted at in "Homefront", I think.

As for your question:

Sportsmaster was an abusive/mostly absent father to her and Artemis, so Cheshire hates having to work with him. Especially because he's not even a member of the League of Shadows.

I wonder if it was Greg Weisman's not-so-subtle way of thumbing his nose at Marvel for prematurely axing a great show?

Greg just likes working with familiar voice actors. In this episode alone you can pick up on Doc Oc's VA doing Dr. Ivo and Electro's VA doing Red Arrow, as well as The Tinkerer from Spectacular and Lexington from Gargoyles doing Klarion's voice.

[Rat A Tat]

Anyone else catch "Spectacular" Josh Keaton voicing Black-Spider? That made me happy, mad and sad all at once.

My sentiments exactly. I was also SUPER confused for a minute because I was previously not familiar with the character of Black Spider, but even then, isn't this the first time he'd ever been portrayed with so much similarity to Spiderman?

[ToTheNines]

Well he was in "Infiltrator" as well as a couple of issues of the tie-in comic. But yeah, they totally Marvel'd him up for this show.

[Redeemer]

Just say this mornings episode of young justice, another good episode. I think its interesting how super-boy is lying and hiding his "stickers" from his friends. They definitely have a negatived effect on him. Also I find interesting that Aqualad hasn't been in the last few Episodes. I am wondering who will lead the team or if there will be two team, because the team is starting to grow. Also Red Arrow says there is no mole, but I am wondering if Super-boy might be a spy and not know it, because he does drastically change with those patches.

[ToTheNines]

Super let down by the fact that this turned out to not be a Christmas episode :(

Super suspicious of Red Arrow after this one too...

I don't think they have a negative effect, he just doesn't want anyone to ask where he got them from... his other daddy Lex Luthor.

Loved that Jack didn't fall for Robin's "Dan Danger" bullsh*t, that was actually bugging me earlier in the episode.

Definitely missed KF and Aqualad on this mission, but the next two episodes are the season finale, so I expect to everyone.

I'm sure they do have a negative effect on Superboy. He was losing his sh*t and he even stopped caring about Miss Martian for a second until Robin snapped him out of it. Didn't you catch that?

[oldmanwinters]

Ha! I feel asleep in the middle of this episode, but I did wake up for the ending.

Somebody needs to get Superboy into rehab; he's clearly got a substance abuse problem.

Upon a re-watch, you guys are definitely right.

So who does everyone think the mole is going to be?

Bet's on Superboy. If Luthor can stop him with just 2 words, who knows what else he can make him do.

[TurtleTitan97]

But I think it's gonna end up being Red Arrow.

But isn't Red Arrow,like, a good guy? As far as I know, he has not gone evil in the comics. It would be like making Robin the mole, and he's one of the most well known sidekicks in the DC universe. Second choice is Artemis since in the comics she's the villian Tigress.

True, but wouldn't the mole have to be someone on the team before Red Arrow joined them since it was mention a couple of episodes back?

I don't think its Artemous bc she holds so much disdain for her sportsmaster and her sister for obvious reasons, but I think my money is on super-boy

[The Stryker]

Aqualad. I never trusted his kind.

Second choice is Artemis since in the comics she's the villian Tigress.

Unfortunately, I suspect it's Artemis too. I love her character, so I'm gonna be sad if it is.

[ToTheNines]

Unfortunately, I suspect it's Artemis too. I love her character, so I'm gonna be sad if it is.

It's totally not Artemis. Issues 7 and 8 of the tie-in comic give you a good look into her past and motivations. She's definitely not crooked.

[TurtleTitan97]

She's definitely not crooked.

Good point Nines. But I wonder for how long will she stay like that? Her comic counterpart is already a villian, what if the same is to happen to her? She may not be the mole on the team, but she could still become Tigress anytime on the show. Only time will answer the question of what side she will choose. Plus, who knows what she told Sports Master in the end of the latest episode.

[Redeemer]

Artemus actually reminds me of Terra from the Teen Titans show. She did go evil and she was a mole. poor Beast Boy :(

[Raph's Girl]

I thought of something while watching the latest ep. There was an awesome poster for The Flying Greyson's that showed at least a half dozen or so of em. So does this mean Dick has bio family out there still??

[TurtleTitan97]

Maybe. I remember reading a comic from the show where a reletive survived that accident but was in a coma.

Well, greg Weisman has kinda answered that one. he states that Dick has a mother, father, aunt and uncle, and cousin who fell to their deaths. His only surviving uncle is in a comatose state.

The show and comics haven't touched on it though as far as I know.

Who the f*ck is that purple flying bish? Did I miss something?

[oldmanwinters]

Since I feel asleep for most of last week's episode, I figured I might have missed the introduction of Icon and Rocket (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icon_%28comics%29), but I guess they really just decided to shoe-horn in some new characters. Seems odd that Rocket would just be able to jump right into the missions without any training that we're aware of.

Anyhoo...

Looks like next week we'll have a DC scrimmage: The JV squad must take down the Varsity team!

[ToTheNines]

Wow, epic episode. I knew Superboy and Artemis were faking it, but I actually thought Miss M might have been there to do the baddies dirty work.

Red Arrow! Called it. Even if it was mind control.

Can't wait to see sidekicks versus mentors next week.

Who the f*ck is that purple flying bish? Did I miss something?

Rocket. She's Icon's sidekick, she was voted on to join the team at the end of "Agendas" along with Icon being voted into the league.

I didn't really care for her though.

[Redeemer]

Hol-y Crap........ :o

I can not believe this ep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best so far hands down
I cant believe there were three moles!!!!! I knew super boy wasnt going to go along with it, but the others I thought, especially Artimus I thought they were really going to betray the others. And to top it off Red Arrow was the Mole!!!! and now the whole Justice League is under the control of the injustice league. Holy crap.... Oh and to top it off I could not believe the animation for this episode. It was so awesome. Especially when super boy was punching the hell out of blockbuster loved the animation

Side note watching the new Avatar series, I dont think it will top the original series though but looks good so far

Holy crap cant wait for next weeks ep sofdjofajfodihadfijosfhadsiho
sorry spazzed out on the key board lol.:P

[TurtleTitan97]

This episode was pretty good. Also,

Loved how Batman deflected the RA clone's arrow like it was nothing, just plain awesomeness right there. Anyone notice that when Robin fought Bats, he was using the weapons he uses as Nightwing. Possible foreshadowing to his future prehaps? Also, glad Robin finally got to kiss Zatanna and KF got to kiss Artimes.



Can't wait to see season 2!:thyper:

[ToTheNines]

Man, I love this show so God damned much. A million awesome things about this finale, I can't wait to watch it again.

Batman vs. Robin was so epic, they way they stared each other down was just awesome. And I loved that Superboy finally got to smack Superman around a bit. (Their talk at the end was great, too).

Red Arrow is a frigging clone and SPEEDY IS CRYOGENICALLY FROZEN?? I did not see that coming at all. I should have known something was up when Guardian said he was Roy's "uncle". It's so funny because I was so confused why they got Crispin Freeman to voice Roy and Guardian way back in the first episode without even changing his voice. Makes sense now. Genius

I liked the Team's little New Year's celebration at the end. Makes me even more pissed at Cartoon Network for not airing this season earlier, as I would have liked watching this on December 30th/31st. Oh well.

Anyone pick up on the DCAU Justice League roster (minus Flash/Wally) being the "missing for 16 hours" group? That was cool.

Season 2 starts next week, I'm pretty upset because

They're jumping ahead 1 or 2 years and going with a mostly new Team roster... so far there's been no sign of KF, Artemis, or Aqualad in any previews. I'll be so pissed if Aqualad isn't in this season, and extremely pissed if he's evil now.

[Redeemer]

This episode was pretty good. Also,

Loved how Batman deflected the RA clone's arrow like it was nothing, just plain awesomeness right there. Anyone notice that when Robin fought Bats, he was using the weapons he uses as Nightwing. Possible foreshadowing to his future prehaps? Also, glad Robin finally got to kiss Zatanna and KF got to kiss Artimes.



Can't wait to see season 2!:thyper:

I actually didn't like that, too much lovey dovey . But I have to say Zatanna grabbing robin and kissing him made me laugh. :lol:

[oldmanwinters]

Season 1 is in the can! Kudos to the YJ creative team for highly impressive work.

I thought it was clever how they paired 6 of the 7 Justice League members most familiar to fans of the Timm-verse: Supes, Bats, Wondy, Manhunter, GL John Stewart, and Hawkgirl (or is it HawkWoman?). Apparently it was most than just a homage though, as we'll be finding out just what exactly they did during those unaccounted-for 16 hours.

I was a bit confused as to why they didn't include The Flash and complete the lineup of the "Original Seven," but then I realized that it wouldn't have worked because Wally West is actually Kid Flash in this continuity.

I do have to air at least one major complaint about this series, however. Namely, the Villains. They all seem to have about the same agenda and cooperate fully without contention, bickering, or scheming their own agendas. Apparently, we've got Vandal Savage, Luthor, Joker, Ra's Al Ghuul, and Klarion functioning as lackeys to some "Greater Evil." There's just no way that could happen given the diverse character (or lack thereof) of that motley crew.

I can only assume that 90% of all the villains we've seen on this show have been brainwashed by the yet-to-be-revealed "The Light." I'll go on the record in saying that Mind Control is fun for short bursts but is a pretty weak way to write villains at lengths. And if they aren't being MC'd... dang, I'll be really disappointed.

Wow, I hadn't read that bit of info yet! It seems a strange choice, given that the whole angle with "The Light" seems like it would have been an immanent threat. I kinda figured they shake up the YJ roster since the mysterious sub-plots involving Artemis and Miss Martian have been resolved more-or-less. The team started to feel a little bloated after the additions of Zatanna, "Red Arrow," and Rocket. I am very much looking forward to seeing Beast Boy. Can Starfire, Raven, and Cyborg be far behind? :-)

You're a little confused here. The Light consists of Ra's, Luthor, Vandal Savage, Klarion, The Brain, Queen Bee and Ocean Master. They've all teamed together to systematically destroy the Justice League. No mind control needed to get them to attend that party.

Yeah, it's definitely non-traditional to have almost all of the villain's working together, but it makes logical sense that they do since all the heroes work together. I personally chalk it up to the fact that The Light is just paying all their underling's very well, that's how they get nutcases like Joker and Poison Ivy to work for them.

Even then, there are still some standalone baddies in the continuity. Harm, The Terror Twins, and Clayface to name a few. As well as all the stuff that happens off-screen.

[sdp]

Well the show seemed to get flack from the internet but I always enjoyed it, I loved the first season and each episode, the hiatus made me forget about the show but quickly picked it up once it started airing again, now if they had aired it without so many breaks I think I would've only liked the show more since I would've gotten a lot more out of the continuity it had. It definitely has some flaws but overall I loved it. Every time we saw the league I always wanted to have a show that was about the league but that's fine. We do see the League in action with the same characters basically in the DCU DTVs which while technically a different continuity, I don't care they fit perfectly so why not it just helps expand on the league and dont hurt the show since they are separate adventures. Can't wait for the second season and hope that it continues for a third. I also wouldn't go as far to say that its better than the DCAU because its an unfair comparison, that show got many shows through a whole decade to set up its universe, if Greg had that much time and also different shows I'm sure it could become better, but it just won't happen. In fact I'm already setting up for S2 to be the final season the show will get and knowing Weisman it'll end on a cliffhanger with tons of unresolved plots.

The show does have a few things that annoy me, I like the romance and all which people complain but I don't like some of the decisions they made like having them talk psychically, sure it makes sense if you have the ability to do it to use it but it takes away from superheroes being superheroes, you never saw the Justice League doing it even though they had J'onn with them. I'm also not a fan of the whole "this is a young DCU", I mean it really isn't, I wish it wasn't Dick as Robin etc. Batgirl looks older in that screenshot, and you have other characters like Superboy, the second aqualad and now Jaime Reyes, this is anything but a Young DC Universe. I would've rather had Arrowette than Artemis since her whole arc was a bit boring anyways and yeah when the show info was leaked I just expected a show like Teen Titans again, which the original YJ comics were like and we had been told that Dick would be Nightwing. But instead we got this which is still awesome. But a bit of a disappointment as well.

So I have a question about the Young Justice figures, I know the line is getting cancelled but are we still seeing some of the figures from Toy Fair like Batgirl? And is there a site that shows all the figures released for the line? I love the 6" Batman and Artemis, don't really like the Robin though, unsure which other figures came out. Did Cheshire come out? I really wanted her.

[oldmanwinters]

You're a little confused here.
Heh, wouldn't be my first time! :P

I've had the hardest time catching reruns of this show to refresh the continuity in my brain. I guess I need to read more Wikis to get everything straight in my head. This is the kind of show I'd prefer to watch in large chunks on DVD, but the releases thus far have been pretty pathetic. I hope they're planning on at least releasing a "Season 1, Part 1" DVD to compliment the upcoming "Season 1, Part 2" set. (Man, that just sounds ridiculous in writing).

Ah, okay, that at least clears up a few things for me. I still just don't think that long term cooperation between such diverse villains makes sense. The DCAU episode "Injustice For All" was the best case study in what would probably happen when high-profile DC villains try to form their own team. Depravity breeds more depravity.

About that time-skip...

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m31ks8Kf8a1rntmaxo1_1280.jpg

Looks like my initial thinking of 1-2 years was way off... Seeing as how Dick was 13 in season 1 of YJ, this looks more like a 5 year jump. Cool.

Also, that means the Robin we've been seeing is either Jason or Tim. Please be Jason.

No. That image is from an episode set in the future (for YJ anyways). It's already been established that Robin is Dick Greyson on several occasions. In particular the recent Haley Circus episode.

Meanwhile. Take a gander at Beast Boy...

*facepalm* I'm a huge YJ fan, I know Robin was Dick in season 1 (I even said as much directly below the picture I posted...) What I'm saying is

season 2 is going to take place ~5 years in the future and the Robin that we've been seeing in the previews for season 2 is probably Tim Drake. Further proof? Just look at that image of Beast Boy you posted, he's obviously a teen, but he was like 8 years old in "Image".

[ToTheNines]

This just in... Mae Whitman (the actress voicing April in the upcoming TMNT Nicktoon) will be voicing Wondergirl this season.

This makes me happy because I really don't care for Wondergirl otherwise.

Amazing. I cannot wait!

I hope Artemis is still around and hasn't become Tigress yet.

[Redeemer]

Im pretty dissapointed by the time advance, we only got one season of the team and now I am dissapointed.....oh well hope fully I will still enjoy Season 2

[ToTheNines]

So I was right about the 5 year time-skip. Not sure how I feel about it yet, just because this episode was jam-packed with a whole lot of "who? what? when? why?" moments for me.

Turns out I liked the Superboy x Miss Martian thing more than I realized, because MM and Lagoon Boy just didn't sit well with me. Always awesome to see Nightwing, and so far I like Tim Drake, which is cool because I never cared for him in the comics.

Anyone else pick up on Dick's line to Tim? "Just don't die"... any chance Jason Todd died in the 5 year gap?

No Aqualad... boo. I wish they would have revealed if that was still Barry as Flash. It's impossible to tell since his costume always resembled Wally's Flash costume from the start. Hopefully Barry died and Wally took over.

I need to rewatch and jot down all those new computer designation #'s, it sounds like there was a lot of new Team membership because I did remember that Tim was B20.

Overall, I'm excited to see the plot develop, but I think I'm always gonna miss the season 1 cast.

[Redeemer]

Just watched the new episode and I have to say I am dissapointed we barely even get a full season of this team and now its gone all to hell......
I didn't even see Aqualad, kidflash in the episode, its five years into the future, not 2 and most of the team is with the league now. Superboy and Megan are now indifferent to say the least. Wonder girl and Batgirl were surprisingly good, I like the addition of the blue beetle, Beast boy bothers me though I dont like his voice, but its only bc I hear Teen Titans Beast Boy in the back of my mind....I also dont like the way Megan looks now its weird I dont mind how NightWing and the others look like I actually like the improvement. I need to see a few more Episodes, to see where it goes....

^Oh same here ^ I will miss the season 1 cast

[Cure]

Just keep mentioning you're "dissapointed". That'll change things.

[oldmanwinters]

Yeah, I thought the same thing!

I think that Dick's voice kinda cracked a little when he said that line.

Hmm... any chance Young Justice is in continuity with Batman: Under the Red Hood (http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/dcuam/redhood/media/)? :)

EDIT: Eh, Probably not (http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/dcuam/redhood/media/41.jpg). That plot line would be a pretty epic flashback story, though.

[ToTheNines]

Right. UTRH Jason was Robin for a good while, and there was a 5 year time-jump in YJ, so that's not enough time. Plus a bunch of small things like Nightwing not recognizing Amazo, and Riddler being portrayed totally differently.

Now that I think about it, 5 years isn't really enough time for Young Justice to have their own spin on the "Death in the Family" thing. Seeing as how Dick was 13 and is now 18... he couldn't have been Nightwing that long, in turn meaning there's no way Tim has been Robin that long, in turn leaving no space for Jason to get adopted, train, become Robin, have a crimefighting career, then die.

Well, DC always has their "Hypertime" theory, right?

:???:

[ZariusTwo]

The New 52 have a similar gap between their past and present..five years approx, and there were supposed to have been several Robins in that timeframe too.

[ToTheNines]

Well, DC always has their "Hypertime" theory, right?

:???:

Well this is a Weisman show. He operates with hard dates.

The New 52 have a similar gap between their past and present..five years approx, and there were supposed to have been several Robins in that timeframe too.

Yeah, but like I said, Dick aged from 13 to 18 so it would seem that he hasn't been Nightwing for very long. Plus Jason dying looses a lot of meaning if he's only been Robin for a short time and then Tim steps in almost immediately afterwards. There should be a good amount of build up to both his death and his eventual replacement.

And as awesome as Red Hood is, this season's dealing with multiple alien races attacking Earth, I don't think they need to cram the drama of a resurrected Jason Todd to go along with all that. Plus Speedy's still missing, Artemis and Aqualad's allegiances are in question, and The Light is still out there.

[Raph's Girl]

Like everyone else I wasn't too keen on the changes.

I was totally bummed to find out Megan and Connor broke up and she's now with Lagoon Boy.

This 5 year thing totally screws everything up... GAH! We get Rocket as a member of YJ for like 1 ep and then BAM... "5 years later" and she's now a member of the JL.

Twas cool to see Lobo tho...if only briefly.... and Tim Curry is in the show now as G. Gordon Godfrey?! I half expected him to start singing. *lol*

[Turo602]

I really enjoyed this episode. I mean, Nightwing! Finally! Although, his voice was kind of weird and unfitting... Anyway, I don't see why anyone should be worried, just be patient and everything will be explained. I do miss the old team, but as long is the show is still good, I'm good. Can't wait to see where this goes.

[sdp]

Well like Season 1, we start with tons of questions that leave you wondering and some fans angry. Also like S1, it was more interesting the scenes with the characters that were only featured for a few seconds in the episode instead of the actual featured characters.

I have mixed feelings about the time jump, I think it is awesome and can't wait to see what is happening with these characters. I hate how other DC shows never leave the "early dc" universe since they always start in the beginning, so it's nice to see a time jump. However I'm also bummed we didn't see more of the original characters and actually see things get there. Of course counting the show even if successful would never have more than 65 episodes, I'd rather see a time jump. Can't wait to find out what happened during the 5 years because you know that is what the season is pretty much going to be about.

About Under the Red hood, like I mentioned I think most of the DCU animated movies take place in this universe. Do they? Well according to Weisman they don't but he is very controlling with his shows. As far as I go, the movies don't affect the plot in any way the YJ show and only adds more depth to the Justice League that we don't really get from the show since there just isn't time Crisis on 2 Earths, First Flight and even Wonder Woman. I definitely think Under the redhood could've happened, probably not the whole movie but in those 5 years, maybe Robin could've easily left Batman say when he was 15 after 2 years and shortly after we get Jason who wasn't Robin for too long and died, Tim just became Robin recently. 5 years is plenty of time for it to work.

As far as I know, every one of those modern DCU movies has its own separate continuity, with the possible exception of Superman/Batman Public Enemies and Superman/Batman Apocalypse. I was just throwing out a wild theory when I threw in that reference to Batman: UtRH. I don't seriously believe that Weisman would try to shoehorn a prior stand-alone film into his vision of the DC universe, but it might make for fun fan speculation as to what exactly happened between the Robin tenures of Dick Grayson and Tim Drake.

[ToTheNines]

Jason who wasn't Robin for too long and died

Pay attention to the flash backs in Red Hood, Jason was Robin for a pretty long time before Joker killed him. And like I said there's a lot of other little things... like Nightwing not recognizing Amazo, despite fighting him at least once in the YJ continuity.

That being said, Jason could have already died in the 5 year YJ gap. But I don't like the idea of Dick leaving Gotham and becoming Nightwing so young. He should at least graduate high school first.

I don't think Killing Joke happened. Batgirl was clearly Barbara. So unless in that 5 gap time Jason became Robin and was killed. Barbara was shot, paralized, got better and became Batgirl again... just like in the comics?

[ToTheNines]

Who said anything about The Killing Joke?

EDIT: I guess you're talking about Jason's line from the movie "... the friends he's crippled!". That could still work as long as Killing Joke would happen before he returns as Red Hood, and there's definitely a number of years between his death and return.

[Raphael86]

Hopefully Artemis will show up soon. Can't wait to see her as an adult.

I'm not happy with his absence in the first episode either, and I definitely don't like his "replacement" Lagoon Boy. But...

http://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/assets/media/news/images/young-justice/young-justice-invasion-toy-box.jpg

While I'm happy that this picture from the toyline confirms he'll be in this season, he's looking rather sinister and that armor looks like something a guy working for Black Manta (Kaldur's real daddy) would wear...

Hopefully he's either gone undercover, or it's just a coincidence (everyone else in the picture is a hero). I'm all for heroes changing allegiances, but not during an off-screen time jump. And ya know... preferably not my favorite character.

[TurtleTitan97]

I gotta admit, Aqualad's new costume looks pretty sweet. But yeah, I hope he hasn't gone bad and he's just undercover as well.

This episode sucked.

[oldmanwinters]

This episode sucked.

I think Miss M killed that little Krolo though...

Overall, I liked this morning's episode, but I'm also a very forgiving TV viewer. Superboy's character development seems to have come a long way [in the past 5 years at least].

Also, I'm starting to find Beast Boy a little annoying, which I didn't expect. Whereas in the Teen Titans show, I found him weird and hilarious, in this episode he just came across as an immature little brother who repeats the same phrase until he gets the attention he wants. I suppose that makes sense, given his now revealed orphaned status and unique relationship with Miss Martian.

Speaking of that green lady, I was a little confused as to what she did to that Krolo at the end. It looked to me like she was just probing his mind intensively, which got her the info she wanted but left him a shriveling little zombie. It reminded me of what Martian Manhunter did to the Thanagarian in the "Starcrossed" episode of Justice League. I kinda figured Me'gan's dark side was behind her given the resolution of Season 1, but it appears that she's still got some inner demons she has yet to exorcise. Then again, maybe the Krolos did something to her mind while they briefly held her captive?

Should make for an interesting season.

[CyberCubed]

I really like Young Justice, but The Joker in this show was terrible. I've never actually found Joker boring before in any incarnation but this one. Terrible design, lackluster voice, and nothing about him was exciting or memorable.

And I am not just comparing him to Mark Hammil's Joker from B:TAS, even The Batman's Joker was more entertaining. The one from the 1989 movie, Heath Ledger's Joker, etc.

Its the biggest disappointment of this show, I hope we don't see much more of him unless he's handled differently.

[ToTheNines]

Dude he was in 1 episode and wasn't even the main villain... wtf?

[CyberCubed]

Dude he was in 1 episode and wasn't even the main villain... wtf?

But he was still there. I would have rathered not seen him at all. I am still catching up on Season 1, I am up to episode 20 I believe. I already know about the time skip though.

As much as I like this show I have the feeling CN is going to pull the plug on it after the second season. The toyline has been canceled and "Beware the Batman" is likely to replace it in 2013 on DC nation.

I'd love it to get at least 52-65 episodes like all the other DC shows, but I am not seeing it.

[sdp]

Well it has a confirmed 46 episode run which isn't too bad only 19 episodes less than the standard 65 DC episode run, I am not too optimistic about another season but I can see them renewing the show for a final 19/20 episode season that brings the count to the standard 65 episodes. Were the "The Batman", "Brave and the Bold" toys big sellers anyway? I always remembered them clogging up the toy aisles. Also how is GL TAS doing? The movie didn't do well and they are trying to get the sequel off the ground but it's far from confirmed if it'll happen, it could be years like with Superman Returns before we see GL again, not to mention GL also doesn't have a toyline and the movie toys bombed so maybe YJ has a chance to stay alongside Beware the Batman. Too bad we won't get toys of some of the timeskipped characters....

[CyberCubed]

I actually just caught up on all 28 episodes of Young Justice. I never bothered to watch the show as it was going because I always knew CN had a crazy schedule and I'd lose interest.

I was going to wait for the DVDs but once I heard about the time skip and that Nightwing would appear (one of my favorite characters), I immediately went back and watched the entire first season and the new episodes in the span of one weekend. I can definitely see how the story would be confusing if people watched it with all the breaks.

I really like this show. On some levels its better than Justice League was or even Teen Titans. Speaking of the latter, I am hoping we eventually see Starfire, Cyborg and Raven since Beast Boy showed up. It would be nice to see their new designs in this show. And Cyborg recently appeared in the Justice League Doom movie which used Young Justice designs.

I am glad to see Nightwing and Tim Drake get more screentime. We always saw far too little of them back in B:TAS, and Nightwing only got 1 episode on Teen Titans.

[Cure]

Oh, MAN. This show, you guys.

[Raphael86]

This episode blew my mind a little bit.

[oldmanwinters]

Well, Aqualad sure seems to have been a naughty boy these past five years!

Kids today...

I've got a feeling we may not be seeing the Magnificent Six (Leaguers) for a while. That space tribunal seems to be a convenient plot device to get the big guns off-world and put the focus back on the YJ team.

[SS_Turtle]

I just got into this show last week, seems ok (hard to tell with just 2 episodes) I will have to watch the first season to see what I really think.

[Raph's Girl]

So what did we learn this week:


1: Awww...Kal and Con are brothers now...how sweet

2: Aquagirl ist kapoot... poor Aquagirl. We hardly knew ya from that one episode you were in...

3: Aqualad is now Black Manta Jr! Eek!! :o

[Redeemer]

Just watched the last two episodes that I missed, due to traveling...... and I must say my mind has been blown!!!!!!! I was really skeptic of the 5 year lap, but I am actaully enjoying the season 2 storyline and I love the scene were Aquaman sees that Aqualad has become the aprentice of black manta!!!! cannot wait for this weeks ep

[psych23232323]

I wanted to post a reply but it would be a spoiler, how do you do that spoiler tag with the show button?

[psych23232323]

Thanks GK Punk :)

Young Justice is I think one of the best shows CN has right now, in my opinion.

I have read that it's being theorized Aqualad may be a mole. Reasons were because of how Aqualad tells Robin and Superboy about the bomb and how much longer it would go off and Nightwing is the only one that knows about it. I think it can go either way really though it was shocking that someone as level headed as Aqualad would turn to the Darkside.

I never heard that he would be a mole, but as you said with how level headed aqualad was its hard to see him betraying his friends, but telling NightWing that there is a bomb shows that he does still care for them on some level......but also you never know, Aqualad and Aquagirl were dating at some point and she died in battle.....you never know what he might do.....

[sdp]

I love hims as a villain though, I don't believe the mole theory since all those aliens did indeed die. The spoilers for this weeks episode seem hardcore if true which the guy who's been leaking hasn't been wrong so far. Great show.

Yeah thats true... those aliens did die, but I am still wondering what happened to kid flash and Artemus........ I am thinking Artemus gave in and became evil......I wonder what happened to kid flash though....

[psych23232323]

Yeah thats true... those aliens did die, but I am still wondering what happened to kid flash and Artemus........ I am thinking Artemus gave in and became evil......I wonder what happened to kid flash though....

Artemus is based off of Tigress from the comics, who is a villainess. So it is quite possible Artemis gave in to evil and became a villainess known as Tigress. Some rumors are that she died.

As for Kid Flash, I think he becomes the new Flash. The original Flash dies and Kid Flash takes over the Flash persona in the comics so that is what may happen.

An older Red Arrow is in the next episode who will probably go by Arsenal, may be more answers will be in the next one.

Like I said, Aqualad being a true evil villain or a mole for the good guys can go either way.

[oldmanwinters]

So, Wally & "Roy" = brothers-in-law?

[Redeemer]

Yeah this episode kinda of let me down in terms of story...... I can actually say this is the first episode I did not care for........ I mean Artemus and Wally shacking up???? I thought this was a cartoon???? I dont know I think I am more dissapointed in the fact that kid flash and Artemus are no more.... and then guardian is also a clone????Red Arrow has a kid and with psycho mask?????? What the hell......... This episode gave me mixed feelings about the entire season now :ohwell:

[CyberCubed]

Uh, Wally and Artemis are now 20 years old. Remember Kid Flash was 15 in the first season, but this was a 5 year time skip.

So Wally and Artemis stayed together from their teens to the age of 20. What's the big deal? They probably had sex too, who cares? Its nice not to see another broken relationship.

[ZariusTwo]

Yeah this episode kinda of let me down in terms of story...... I can actually say this is the first episode I did not care for........ I mean Artemus and Wally shacking up???? I thought this was a cartoon????

... Have you never seen ANY DC show before where this was prominent? Relationships have been the crux of YJ since the first season. Not to mention there are other examples of cartoons dealing with these kinds of adult issues. Are you stuck in 1976 with your tiresome Scooby-Doo reruns which are all "safe" and "wholesome" for the kids? Grow up, lord knows today's cartoons have.

Your other reasons for being dissapointed are pretty lame too. Seems like you react badly to change, which is what all greart shows go through.

[Redeemer]

Seems like you react badly to change, which is what all greart shows go through.

actually I do :lol:
But I think I am more shocked at even seeing it in the first place, I think its mostly bc it showed Artemus in nothing, but a jersey I think is what shocked me so much. The reason I have such a problem is bc we only got 1 season before the time skip.... I wouldn't mind a time skip after two seasons..... but I feel like the time skip was just too soon.....

Other than that I still love the show, but like I said I think I was just so shocked by the episode overall.......

Well at least Kid Flash and Artemis are alive. There's a chance they may don on costumes again if a situation comes forth.

I was surprised a time skip happened soon, I don't know if they'll do that with each season. But I guess they wanted to show other heroes as well.

Wonder Girl, this is the first time I've seen her in an animated series at all.

That is one of the things I like about this show, it's not focusing too much on certain characters. Like in season one, each character pretty much got a chance in the spotlight.

And heck the Bat family is in season two but the show doesn't focus too much on them at this point. Since it's early in the season, I want to see what more will come.

I just hope Beast Boy isn't called out as like the weakest in the group like in Teen Titans.

Watched this mornings ep and It was so,so.... I just didn't enoy it..... I think its bc of the lack of main characters.....But I am glad to see these new characters getting some face time, but still just didn't enjoy the episode that much, but I did enjoy the Blue Scareb getting a lot of face time in this ep.. He is one of my favorite new characters

[oldmanwinters]

I didn't recognize whether those people in the pods at the end were supposed to be familiar to the viewer. Did I miss something?

[The Stryker]

It's Blue Beetle.

And Scarab is spelled with two A's.

I hope they explain Wonder Girl's backstory in more detail. For those of us who never read DC comics I have no clue who she is. All I know is Wonder Woman trained her, I don't know if she's human, an Amazon, etc.

I realize I can find this all out by doing a 2 minute search online, but I'd prefer the cartoons explain who these characters are like they're doing with Blue Beetle.

"Cassie Sandsmark is the daughter of an archaeologist... and the Greek God Zeus! After Wonder Woman discovered the amazing powers of Cassie's birthright, she granted her new protege the name Wonder Girl."

[oldmanwinters]

That was probably one of my favorite episodes of the whole series. I love these "Flash Family" focused stories.

I was shocked to see just how "off the pace" Wally West is compared to the Allen family heroes. That was hilarious.

Pretty spooky ending to the episode though.

Yeah another great episode, not my favorite by far, but still a good episode.
and ...... I was actually mad to see Wally West was so slow, I think Wally West would be the fastest in all honestly....and that ending was spooky as hell!!!! I want some freaking Batman Beyond thrown up in here!!!!! lol I would have loved to see Terry Mcginnis! But Its interesting how they found Roy Harper finally, I also am wondering what he will become in this series....

[Leo656]

Actually, there's lots of historical comic book precedent for Wally being the slowest Flash, at least at times. When he was younger but after Barry disappeared and Wally took over as The Flash, for years his speed powers were unreliable to the point of sometimes disappearing completely, but even at what he thought was full speed he was still much slower than both Barry, and himself when he was Barry's sidekick. Turned out much later on that Wally had subconsciously blocked himself off from even approaching Barry's level of power because Barry was his hero and he felt it would be blasphemous to ever truly replace him. But during the "Return Of Barry Allen" storyline in Wally's comic, around issue 75-ish, Wally was forced to finally become his own hero and eventually became even more powerful than Barry ever was.

Then a buncha guys who grew up in the 60s/70s started writing for DC and threw out everyone and everything not related to the Super-Friends cartoons of their precious and overrated childhoods. So now Wally apparently never existed at all, except on this cartoon where he apparently still does. Bummer.

I like this show, I don't get to see it enough. It's the only thing out there resembling the "real" DCU for the past year.

Bad-Ass!!!!I think Wally is my favorite flash, he reminds me of Raph of the OT, very sarcastic at times, but yet very serious.

and yeah I have to agree this is the only DCU Storyline I have seen in a while , or at least that I consider DCU

[CyberCubed]

I loved Wally West on Justice League and Teen Titans, (remember, Kid Flash appears in one episode of Teen Titans in the 5th season), so he is my favorite Flash.

I love him in Young Justice too. I don't care much for the other Flash's as I don't know them.

[Raph's Girl]

I am SOOO happy to have Bart Allen in the show!! He's my fave of the Flash family!! WOOT!! This take on Bart is rather interesting too. He comes from a post apocalyptic future! I wonder if we'll see more changes to the "40 years from now" timeline as the show progresses?? Perhaps they were thinking at first that the catalyst was the death of Barry??

Hmm... seems like the death of the Flash is the catalyst for a number of apocalyptic futures in DC's animated shows, doesn't it? 8)

[Leo656]

I like Bart, but not as much as Wally. And I like Barry *in theory*, but I didn't grow up with him. I don't dislike him, but since they brought him back it's only made me miss Wally more, and I haven't seen anything of Barry's Flash that was worth losing Wally, I'unno.

[ZariusTwo]

Ditto. First Barry story I ever read? His death in Crisis.

I watched The Flash tv series with Barry as the lead, but whenever I played with my Flash action figure, I always insisted it was Wally.

Wow...

Kaldur really has become a scumbag!

Wait...

Oops, never mind!

Also,

So...

We were right and Kaldor is just secretly gone to the dark side to spy on the Light. But at least we know more about Megan and Connor's break up! Yeesh! Also nice to see Carol pop up in this series. Wonder if she's been Star Sapphire yet?

When Megan turned into the Mermaid I was hearing "Under The Sea" in my head. *lol*


BTW folks. This is the last ep till Aug/Sept. Unless the UK or Australia decides to air more eps.

Basically she's using her powers to kill the bad guys and Connor is in the typical goody good hero mode and doesn't believe what she's doing is the right answer to the problems. "There's always another way.." type of thing.

That's not all that happened...

...when Superboy first confronted her about it before they broke up, Miss Martian tried to wipe his memory of him ever getting angry at her. Superboy "felt her touch" in his mind, though, and found her out. That's why he resents her.

And also, goody good, really? You make it seem like valuing life is a bad thing.

Man, Young Justice is quickly becoming one of my favorite cartoons of all time, and that says a lot.

I hope to god the show doesn't get canceled after this season. But with so many new DC shows starting, (Beware the Batman, Titans Go, more Green Lantern), they may put something on the chopping block.

All DC shows tend to end around 52-65 episodes....I really hope this at least hits the 65 episode mark before it ends.

I highly doubt the show gets cancelled so soon with the ratings it gets, I heard its been getting huge ratings.... Just saw this mornings ep I knew Aqualad wasn't evil!!! I swear they were going to kill Artemus! I was fooled though....lol, I wonder now if she will take on the role as Tigress sense she is actually Tigress in the comic...Oh and for future reference Megan does not kill, just puts her victims in a comatose state :lol:

I hope they show re-runs at least if they are going on a break

[ToTheNines]

New episodes, when? You guessed it. 9-29!

TMNT YJ weekend!

[CyberCubed]

Sadly this is probably the final batch of new episodes for Young justice, I don't think the show will be renewed for Season 3.

I admit I'll be pissed if they renew that awful Green Lantern show but cancel Young Justice. I know one of them is ending to make room for, "Beware the Batman" in 2013.

[Lampy]

i was wondering when this show will return. just when it was getting good... they leave us hanging with "Depths". thanks ToTheNines! yea i hope they cancel the green lantern show... young justice has a better plot. however... YJ has more hiatuses (after only a few episodes) than any series i know. so it might be the one to go if you're right, Cubed.

[ToTheNines]

I can't wait for the rest of this season, so much interesting stuff going on. The League's trial on Rimbor, Speedy being thawed out, Bart coming from the future, Aqualad and Artemis being undercover, Miss Martian getting scary, Blue Beetle's scarab getting more aggressive. The list could go on!

Main thing I'm dying to see though, is how Sportsmaster and Cheshire react to Kaldur killing Artemis. That'll be awesome.

[Lampy]

yea i know... the show has a lot of things going for it (especially if you're a DC fan and can pick out all the nods to the past continuity). it would be a shame if they just cancel it. what i'm dying to see is how the league is doing at the trial. 6 leaguers causing trouble on another planet is something i've never seen them do before. so i want to see more detail on the s*** they caused. and yes... kaldur is going to get his butt whooped once sportsmaster finds out.

[CyberCubed]

I just want it to be renewed for ONE MORE 13 episode season, is that too much to ask?

Sure it had a good run compared to other shows, but I would have liked 65 episodes of Young Justice. A lot of the new characters are still underdeveloped.

Nothing wrong with those formats

You don't seem to have a problem with the new Turtles cartoon being CG only, or the fact it'll be a comedy/action hybrid like the original Teen Titans, so why turn your back on some promising DC shows for those reasons?

[pannoni1]

This pretty much marks the end of an era for action animation, as the upcoming Beware the Batman series is going to be CGI, with a sidekick that sounds like it could be Leonardo's. All remaining 2D cartoons are now mostly either FOX primetime holdouts or E/I's. There is basically nothing left to prove with 2D action/comedy animation and CGI continues to improve. This is good news though since it means that TMNT won't need to compete with Young Justice as much as feared, especially since Nick is planning to rerun TMNT every week.

[Lampy]

i prefer the 2D animation, but i don't mind CG animation either. so long as the animation and plot are done right... i'll be a happy camper.

I loved Teen Titans but the new one is just going to be a gag show with no storylines and no fighting.

And considering how bland the Green Lantern show is, I don't have high hopes for a CG Batman. Plus I think gun-toting Alfred had been canned after the travesty of the movie shootings.

From what Ive heard is they have produced 44 eps and have aired only 33, so I do not know what they are going to do with the series, I understand the logic behind everyone's thinking, but I dont imagine Cartoon Network killing off one of its most popular series just yet, the only reason I could imagine is lack of toy sales or profit in general. Bc from my understanding its getting good ratings.

They produced 46 episodes total, they're going to air the last batch now.

Basically if they don't renew the series soon, then it's bad news. Basically the same problem Thundercats, Spectacular Spiderman, Wolverine and the X-men all had:

If a show isn't renewed right away, the production staff can not go ahead with new work...and thus since it takes 9 months to produce an episode from start to finish...it won't get done.

So if CN doesn't tell the staff that they want a new season...the show is basically canceled. It's the same thing that always happens...fans sit there hoping there's a "chance" for a new season...they get their hopes up with their ridiculous petitions when they have no clue how animation works

[Redeemer]

they have no clue how animation works

I know how animation works, I simply do not understand CN business strategy :lol:

[CyberCubed]

They are morons. What I don't understand is WHY they won't give it a 65 episode run.

The Batman, Teen Titans, Brave and the Bold were all given healthy 65 ep runs before they ended...I'd hope Young Justice would be the same.

[Leo656]

Honestly hate how CGI has taken over everything. I predicted that the second Toy Story came out and I was prevented from fully enjoying that film because I knew it was simply the harbinger of things to come, meaning the end of hand-drawn animation, and I'm sad whenever I see how I was right.

I dig this show, I dig GL too even though it's CGI, but not thrilled about the new Batman so far. If the only upcoming DC shows in the future are CGI, I will be very unhappy.
