Greg Weisman Teases Hope for Young Justice Season 3

[Xiewin]

Has anyone heard about this?

Greg Weisman thinks there could still be a future for Young Justice. While announcing that the critically acclaimed cartoon’s second season was available on Netflix Instant Streaming, Young Justice’s executive producer hinted that the show could see new life if there were enough interest.

"RT! #YoungJustice S1 AND S2 now on Netflix! Want YJ S3? One of best things u can do is watch ALL eps over & over on Netflix. Or buy BluRays!"

Weisman clarified in subsequent tweets that while Warner Bros (or Netflix) hadn’t expressed interest in a third season, a strong showing on Netflix could motivate WB into action on a potential third season.

[CyberCubed]

That doesn't mean anything, Weisman always hopes to continue all his canceled shows.

Nobody is going to foot the bill to pay for a new season of Young Justice, especially since its been canceled a few years now. Also given this is a DC property they would still have to get DC to agree to continue the series, they may not even care.

[Xiewin]

That doesn't mean anything, Weisman always hopes to continue all his canceled shows.

I don't know that much about Weisman, so I'm completely oblivious to whether or not he tried promoting something like this before.

However, it's an interesting read.

[CyberCubed]

Weisman still thinks he can make 6 Gargoyle series spinoffs...for a show that got canceled back in 1996.

He's currently writing for Star Wars Rebels so I don't think he will get to make Young Justice. He also said he doesn't work for DC anymore.

[NinjaPug]

He left Rebels after Season 1.

[plastroncafe]

I would like a season 3, but in the meantime I'm going to rewatch seasons 1 and 2, because...damn those were good.

I really miss the DC Nation block of cartoons. It was great that for a little while there was some really awesome 'toons still on Saturday Morning. Alas, no longer.

[CyberCubed]

I'd find it hilarious if WB greenlits a Young Justice Season 3 but then doesn't hire Greg Weisman back to write it.

I don't know why the guy thinks he can do whatever he wants. He always gets fired or his series always gets canceled no matter what he does.

[drgon78]

This is hardly the only series I would like to see get continued, though it would be nice to see a series I actually want to get new life.

[ZariusTwo]

Frankly, I pretend YJ season two did'nt happen. First series ended on such a happy and optimistic note and the second series was far too mean-spirited. It was'nt bad, but the tone shift was just not what I personally liked.

Wiesman's an eternal optimist though, gotta hand it to him.

[TurtleTitan97]

Netflix is reportedly reviewing YJ stats and its said that if they like what they see it could lead to a third season: http://geektyrant.com/news/netflix-currently-reviewing-young-justice-stats-for-potential-season-3

Its never going to happen. DC has to agree to it, they won't do it. Its a pipedream.

I don't blame you. I still liked season 2 somewhat, but it felt like there was way too much going on compared to the first season.

[CyberCubed]

They added way too many new characters and had no time to develop them all. Wonder Girl never even got a spotlight episode or a backstory. She was just there.

[turtle1237]

If UJ gets other season after what 2 years? Perhaps theres hope for Thunder Cats? I can dream can I? The reboot never had a finish story.

[CyberCubed]

If it does get a third season, watch Greg Weisman end it on ANOTHER cliffhanger on purpose just so he can try to get it continued again for a fourth season or beyond.

He's known for being spiteful and purposely ending things on cliffhangers in hope he can return to it someday.

[M.O.D.O.K.]

They added way too many new characters and had no time to develop them all. Wonder Girl never even got a spotlight episode or a backstory. She was just there.

The show wasn't about her. The main focus has always been the main six, and there were the most focused ones on both seasons, with Blue Beetle and Impulse focused on for plot reasons.

He's known for being spiteful and purposely ending things on cliffhangers in hope he can return to it someday.

Ehm, no. He's very diplomatic about the companies he works on and that's why he still works in the industry even today. He doesn't end things on cliffhangers, but he does leave loose ends because it's more realistic to him that way. Life doesn't just suddenly conclude. There's always more battles to be fought another day.

But I won't get in your way of your fanfiction about real people, bro. :oops:

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Oh man, more Thundercats would be amazing, so frustrating how that was left.

A season 3 YJL would be so awesome, as long as the quality was maintained,and they got the voice cast. I would be all in.

Who knows maybe they could bring more shows back, I would love to see another season Futurama or at least a movie.

[CyberCubed]

Futurama was already revived like 3 times, let it rest.

We had four Futurama movies, and I think only one of them was any good and relevant to the overall saga ("Bender's Big Score"). The revival seasons were strong, but I think they've told all they can with it now.

Are you kidding? They could do so much more with Futurama, and that comes from David x Cohen himself!

You want to see Futurama become stale and awful like Simpsons? The show already got a 52 episode and 4 movie revival, isn't that enough?

The new seasons also had a number of lackluster episodes, so I'd rather the series end on a high note than become the next Simpsons.

[Vicky82]

Family Guy was cancelled but after very good DVD sales, they brought it back.

Futurama is very different from Simpsons, there is so much more you can do with it. You can be outrageous and get away with it, Simpsons is about a family of 5 and is grounded in generally reality.

Futurama by it's nature is set in a world with more open ended possibilities, and so can have so many more stories that fit the shows criteria., without going down the same path the Simpsons has.

I wouldn't want to see a whole lot more, but just a little more. The shows creators, writers and cast want it, and so do I.

At the end of the day, if they bring it back, you don't have to watch it, let those that enjoy it, do so in peace.

[CyberCubed]

It got 4 movies. And 52 more new episodes. That's like...enough.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

If it does get a third season, watch Greg Weisman end it on ANOTHER cliffhanger on purpose just so he can try to get it continued again for a fourth season or beyond.

He's known for being spiteful and purposely ending things on cliffhangers in hope he can return to it someday.

He's explained many times that he NEVER intends for series like Young Justice or Spec. Spider-Man to end on cliff-hangers. They're more like "Never the End" type things.

They added way too many new characters and had no time to develop them all. Wonder Girl never even got a spotlight episode or a backstory. She was just there.

Agreed, but in all fairness I bet Weisman never imagined he'd get an oddball number of episodes for season 2 like 20; he was probably imagining a second season of 26 episodes when he and Vietti were mapping the storylines out. Those 6 episodes would have been used for Wonder Girl, Batgirl, Lagoon Boy and other characters who had little screen time.

[CyberCubed]

Batgirl and Tim Drake got no characterisation or moments really, we were just expected to know them since they're Batman characters.

Wondergirl got no focus or spotlight, no backstory. Just that she messes up a bit.

Lagoonboy was literally just there for shipping wars.

Beastboy was alright, but he was forgotten about in the second half of the season.

Static Shock and the Superfriends just ate up screentime.


Literally the whole season was just about Blue Beetle and Impulse, yet they added a whole bunch of other new characters on top of them.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Yeah. Had there been an extra six episodes to develop those characters better, the second season might have been able to further cement Young Justice's place as one of the greatest super-hero cartoons.

God damn I hope this third season idea works out.

[CyberCubed]

This is a rumor, its not even confirmed. Netflix has never stated they're looking into funding another season, plus as I said, you have to get DC to agree to do this too. Its not like Netflix can say, "OK, we're making a third season!" without DC and their production company all agreeing to do it.

So take this with a grain of salt bc I do not know how reputable the source is but this might be the best chance yet for a season 3

Actually, I read that Weisman isn't currently involved in Rebels's second season. - http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/10/02/greg-weisman-leaves-star-wars-rebels

If UJ gets other season after what 2 years? Perhaps theres hope for Thunder Cats? I can dream can I? The reboot never had a finish story.

While I wasn't the biggest fan of the Thundercats reboot, I would much rather see a second second season of that show than a third season of YJ.

Family Guy was cancelled but after very good DVD sales, they brought it back.

And it's sucked ever since

I enjoyed the first few seasons or so of Family Guy's revival. It wasn't until the around the turn of the decade that I stopped enjoying the new FG episodes.

[CyberCubed]

LOL @ reddit, twitter, tumblr, etc. all throwing parties over the idea of Young Justice getting a Season 3, acting like its "confirmed."

Boy, these people sure are setting themselves up for an amazing fall.

[ZariusTwo]

Futurama is very different from Simpsons, there is so much more you can do with it. You can be outrageous and get away with it, Simpsons is about a family of 5 and is grounded in generally reality.

I'd love to know what show you're watching. Simpsons hasn't been grounded in reality for years. As evident by their Futurama crossover and the fact they've met Kang and Kodus outside of the Treehouse of Horror shorts.

[Coola Yagami]

I think he means the Simpsons still live in a somewhat, though overly cartoony version, of the real world... while Futurama has the characters go to different planets and face all sorts of weird monsters and aliens every other day. There are always new planets and new creatures to explore.

As for Young Justice, I'm all for it. DC, like any company, is all about the money anyway. If Netflix is willing to fund it and they can convince DC that a season 3 will make money, then they might say yes.

Thundercats..... I love the show concept and the characters back in the 80's.... but the new one was boring as hell. I caught a few episodes here and there, but it seemed to focus more on slice of life or world building than you know..... action. I know a show can't be all action and no plot either.... but you also can't have all these fighters with weapons and stuff... just doing nothing but give exposition.

The only eps that caught my eye were the one with Panthro giving the flashback with his best friend now turned enemy, and Pumyra hating Lion-O and wanting to kill him and so forth. I don't know. If they make another season, I hope they remember the original show they based it on had some action in it too. I guess with the incredible animation style and quality I was expecting some really sweet fights and was disappointed... or maybe I missed those episodes and only tuned into the boring ones? I don't know.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

If by some stroke of luck Netflix does pick up the show, I hope that the animation isn't as wretched as it previously was. As much as I love the show, the animation was really not pretty.

Not the character designs, I mean. Those were fine. Just the actual animation and movement.

Especially season 2. If you watch the show in HD the amount of jaggies and poorly placed eyes and mouth become very apparent.

[ZariusTwo]

The next few days are crucial if season three stands a chance of being picked up

A canceled DC cartoon coming back with Weisman as the writer/director? I reeeaaaally don't see this happening.

This sounds like a pipedream for the people who want all their canceled shows back. Next you'll see people think Legend of Korra or Avatar can be revived, or the DCAU with Bruce Timm, or Spectacular Spiderman, and so on and so forth.

Remember the days when canceled cartoons stayed dead?

Bruce Timm continues to work on DC material to this day.

Korra received a proper ending, correct?

And Spec. can never be revived unless Disney somehow gets the right for the product.

Young Justice is a special case.

[CyberCubed]

But DC still has to approve of this. Its not like netflix can "flip a switch" and make a DC property show.

Korra had an ending complete with a "The End" and everything.
Which isn't to say that there isn't a very vocal fanbase who wouldn't clamor for more, if the creators were up for it.

We are getting comics though, for both Airbender and Korra, so there's that.

The whole DC Nation lineup was given a very short shrift, in my opinion. Green Lantern the Animated Series as well as Beware the Bat and Young Justice were all cancelled prematurely.

Something something about not enough boys liking it, or that it wasn't selling enough toys.

[Raph's Girl]

That and Cartoon Network not giving a flip and the year long breaks between episodes. :P

You kiddin' me?

How many times did the Flintstones come back in one form or another? Scooby-Doo? The Jetsons was brought back after 20 years! Technically Batman TAS came back after a couple years off the air as "The New Batman Adventures". Also, y'know, Family Guy and Futurama, for some more recent examples.

I'm not convinced it'll happen in this case, but... it's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before.

[CyberCubed]

How many times did the Flintstones come back in one form or another? Scooby-Doo? The Jetsons was brought back after 20 years!

All the new Scooby Doo shows are technically reboots. There's been what....15 different incarnations of Scooby Doo by now? Flintstones has also been off and on but hasn't had a series in over 20 years, just one off specials and movies.

Technically Batman TAS came back after a couple years off the air as "The New Batman Adventures".

B:TAS ended in 1995, and TNBA came out in 1997. A 2 year break is hardly a big deal.

Also, y'know, Family Guy and Futurama, for some more recent examples.

Those shows being adult comedies are a different deal, we're talking about kids shows here.

That's an entirely different situation. There's no continuity from one Scooby episode to the next (save for Mystery Incorporated, which thankfully was able to finish its story). If a new Scooby-doo show comes out, in the minds of TV-watchers, it's just more Scooby, not a reboot.

[ToTheNines]

The next few days are crucial if season three stands a chance of being picked up

http://cbverse.com/2016/03/this-is-important-week-to-binge-watch-young-justice/

Interesting. I don't have the time to be binge watching anything, but I've been leaving the season running on my Netflix before bed, work, etc.

Would love to see what happens with Darkseid, and Wally's return.

[ZariusTwo]

I was often wondering why Flintstones has had a lot of struggle making a comeback over the years, aside from little things here and there like "On The Rocks", "The Dabba Don" episode of Harvey Birdman, and the WWE movie.

I think it's because it's probably one of few Hannah-Barbera properties to have some kind of existing conclusion. They actually grew up Pebbles and Bam-Bam, married them off and made Fred and Barnie grandparents. They let the characters advance too much and now everything else trying to recapture the "feel" of the show in it's prime feels like a regression, and that you didn't really need to see more of the story, the story was pretty much over with.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I was bored and made this. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K16khrcaTNA) Depending on your point of view, I guess it's cool or kinda pathetic. :P

[CyberCubed]

Young Justice isn't coming back. The show is probably too expensive to produce, it had the most production values of any cartoon of recent memory.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Which is surprising to me since I've always thought the animation was cheap-looking.

[CyberCubed]

The animation looks better than any 2D show I've ever seen.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

You mean the character designs? Or the actual animation? Because I'm talking about the actual animation.

[CyberCubed]

Do you have examples? Thought it looked much better than other shows from the 2000's like JLU, TMNT 2k3, Wolverine and the X-men, Spiderman.

Which is understandable as the show came out in 2011 and the other shows almost a decade earlier.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

There were very few instances were I felt that the movement of the characters felt fluid. A lot of the time things seemed very stilted...

Here was a standout instance of EXCELLENT animation:

http://s5.postimg.org/j4vdtesqv/Pounce.gif

The emotions, the movement, the subtle but clear shifts in facial expression all seem more - pardon the word - animated.

Of course, not all scenes could be so filled with energy, but honestly it felt at times like a talking heads show.

Here's what comes up when I Google 'Legends of Korra gif'

http://49.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m55xpze67w1rs30kho1_r1_500.gif

Really fluid stuff. Looks great. Looks alive.

Here's what comes up with I Google 'Young Justice gif'

http://data.whicdn.com/images/21828805/large.gif

Kid Flash's body isn't even moving. Just his lips. His eyes are blinking, which is kind of surprising to me since if you look closely not many characters blink in this show.
I'm not choosing this certain gif unfairly, the characters really are this immobile a lot of the time. I think that one Korra Gif is better than anything you'll see, animation-wise, in Young Justice.

Also, a horrible job was done in smoothing out digital 'jaggies'.

Take a look at Miss M's eyebrows.

Just about everything in this shot is jagged.

http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/youngjustice/guides/reviews/33depths/12.jpg

Now, it may not look like much as a still picture, but it's very distracting in HD - which is supposed to be the superior format, so why should the show ironically look worse in it?

The jaggies are even more distracting when juxtaposed against great shots and linework like this (http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/youngjustice/guides/reviews/32bloodlines/128.jpg).

[drgon78]

Well animated and well written show. I would love for it to come back if they can get the old writers, voice actors, animators, etc.

[plastroncafe]

HD is only the superior format for things that were designed to be viewed in HD. Methinks that was never truly the case for this show. SO really the blame here isn't with the animators, but whoever gave the g'head to release a show in a format it was ill-suited for.

[ToTheNines]

So.... any news?

[TheSkeletonMan939]

So.... any news?

People like Greg Weisman and Danica McKellar are still asking people to stay involved in binging the show, and Netflix representatives have confirmed that the company is indeed looking at the possibility of acquiring the rights for a third season. So...

[NinjaPug]

Do you have a link to where Netflix reps confirmed they were looking into a 3rd season? I never assumed a 3rd season was just wishful thinking on the part of GW and the voice actors but it is nice to get some sort of confirmation from Netflix. Hope it all works out.

People have been posting screenshots from customer service chats.

Of course, their job is to make the customer happy, and could be talking out of their asses, but I'd like to think that the response from fans is overwhelming enough that Netflix seriously is looking at acquiring the rights for a third season.

There are a dozen others like this; interestingly, whereas in earlier screenshots of chats the customer service people are more tentative in talking about a series revival; in more recent ones they are more firm in confirming that things are definitely in the works. So that's a good sign.

[CyberCubed]

I severely doubt this show is getting a new season. Why would Netflix pay out of their own money to fund this? Why would DC agree to it?

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Why would Netflix pay out of their own money to fund this? Why would DC agree to it?

Netflix paid money to make a Richie Rich TV show. I think they're willing to take risks if they think it can mean a solid payoff.

Daredevil and Jessica Jones did extraordinarily well, and not many people knew who they even were. I imagine a third season of a well-liked superohero cartoon is less of a risk than those two shows were.

Why wouldn't DC agree to it? They'd probably get a healthy share of the profit. The only reason Young Justice was cancelled was because no one bought the crappy toys, and apparently "too many girls were watching".

DC already gives Netflix the rights for Justice League, The Batman, and a good bit of their direct-to-DVD movies, so DC has a good relationship with their streaming service. I imagine the shows do fairly well.

Thanks to social media, Young Justice has been constantly "trending" on Netflix for the past couple of weeks, so the audience is clearly there.

Plus it makes Netflix look good in the eyes of the media-loving consumer even more. In terms of original content they have great Marvel shows, House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, etc.; people like good television, but I think people might love comebacks of old shows even more: the new Pee-wee movie, Fuller House, Clone Wars season 6, Arrested Development season 4, etc. So picking up a third season of arguably one of the best modern superhero cartoons outside the DCAU adds to that image they've built for themselves.

There is every reason to think that Netflix can and will pick the show up for a season 3. I have never seen a thoroughly negative review of Young Justice; everyone has a reason to watch it. It's clearly got a dedicated and wide fanbase; the creators are all on board for a return, and in fact are the ones pushing for it. Greg Weisman has neglected to push for the return of his shows in the past for fear of seeming like a lunatic to potential employers, and the fact that he's now doing it for Young Justice says to me that the show has a very strong chance of returning.

If the show does come back, the Dynamic Music Partners had better come back with it! :D

[CyberCubed]

I just don't trust this new age social media stuff. Its is beyond my comprehension. I've never watched a show greenlit by netflix or hulu.

I just don't like it that any cartoon can come back from the dead years after cancellation. It just shouldn't be done. Its like people clinging to the past.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

It's not like Vietti and Wiseman would be starting from scratch, just because Netflix told them they had another season to make. They had a whole third season and beyond mapped out.

I just don't like it that any cartoon can come back from the dead years after cancellation. It just shouldn't be done. Its like people clinging to the past.

Not just any cartoon: one that lots of people clearly have strong affinity for. If Teen Titans Go were cancelled today no one would really care.

[CyberCubed]

I don't trust Weisman either. If we get a third season watch him end the finale on yet another cliffhanger just so he can try to get a fourth season. He will probably do it purposely.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Weisman has said numerous times he never ends his seasons on cliffhangers, nor would he do so to get another season. That's stupid to assert; the decision is out of his hands anyway.

His shows don't have definite ends so that there's always an opening for the next adventure, whether he makes one or not.

You shut your mouth.

[sdp]

I just don't see this happening since its been too long and even if it got renewed it'd still take a year after it happened to get a S3, would anyone who watched the show now even care? It just makes more sense for Netflix to fund a DC cartoon instead of this revival. All this "trending" is pointless as internet fandom is not equal to ratings. I'd love a S3 but not gonna happen

Of course the show would have another cliffhanger, Greg Weismen for as good as he is, he's also damn crazy and over protective on what he works with. He's absolutely nuts which is a shame since he's so talented. No company should ever give him full creative control over a project.

Just because its above your comprehension doesn't mean things aren't happening or that shows greenlit by netflix aren't amazing.

And what's wrong with cartoons making a comeback? It's rare but it should be done. And look who's talking about people clinging to the past. You re-watch old shows all the time.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

So nothing really happened with this, right? I knew the people expecting netflix to revive a DC cartoon were grasping at straws.

It takes more than a few weeks for approvals and stuff to go through, you know. Even if Netflix decided to make a third season the very day that hashtag started being used, I'm sure they'd still today have a lot of work ahead of them before even thinking of announcing it publicly.

They need to get the rights, estimate based on people's schedules when work can begin, make sure they can even get everyone on board, get in touch with animation studios, and probably dozens of other things I can't even think of... it's more than just asking DC and WB for permission.

Completely correct. The biggest obstacle in all this is DC/WB hammering out a deal with Netflix bc DC will not allow Netflix to freely make a profit off their intellectual property.

That's what makes me think this is not going to happen. Even if netflix wants to do it, DC/WB probably don't care about seeing a cartoon that never made much money be revived.

[oldmanwinters]

Eh, I liked Young Justice, but by the end of Season 2, I was kind of exhausted with the endless teases about the villains' "master plan" and all the speculation about triple agents on the team. I can't say the final episode payoff was worth the season long build up either.

I will say, however, that the final episode will always be special to me on account of the Three Speedsters saving the day... with young Wally West sacrificing himself due to the sadly ironic fact that he was so much slower than his mentor and his protegee. A poetic end, honestly.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Toy sales may have sucked, but I've heard several people mention that the show was doing great, ratings-wise. That's what the companies involved would be after - strong viewership. As far as I know Netflix cares little about how the merchandise, if they even make any, sells.

with young Wally West sacrificing himself due to the sadly ironic fact that he was so much slower than his mentor and his protegee. A poetic end, honestly.

What's doubly ironic is that Wally was going to retire from the superhero world for good after this last mission... be careful what you wish for, I guess.

[CyberCubed]

If it gets renewed I expect 13 episodes at most just to wrap up the show. I'd be fine with that, this is not a series that needs to go on forever. Just do the Darkseid plot in one last 13 ep season and finish the show off properly.

Weisman never does that with his shows. In his eyes, keeping a "never the end" feel to his shows means putting in some fascinating new development in the last twenty seconds of the finale episode (like Osborn surviving his apparent death in SSM, and the last-minute Darkseid reveal in YJ), which, depending on what the twist is and how it's done, can be just as fun as or far more disappointing than something like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCRZmkJxy90) (<-- I consider that the best way to do it... twist endings become, funnily enough, predictable when they're constantly done as Weisman feels compelled to do).

It's possible Netflix may direct him and Vietti to not do a last-minute twist, since if a fourth season were to never happen it might make Netflix look sort of bad. They might fear a "you revived a show but weren't going to finish it?" kind of response.

[CyberCubed]

That's why I don't like Greg Weisman. He always tries to leave things unfinished in hopes that years later he can go back to it, but that never happens and thus the fans suffer with unresolved storylines.

[ToTheNines]

Eat my ass cubed.

[CyberCubed]

Its because of Weisman, that the fans suffer with unresolved plotlines. He needs to stop thinking he's going to get 5+ years to work on a single show.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

It's from Reddit, but I think it's legitimate.
Some guy met Peter David, one of the YJ writers (and got an autograph) and David had this to say:

•Young Justice was in fact canceled due to poor toy sales even though very few toys were produced not because lack of views or quality
•Bloodlines is his favorite episode while the 1st draft copy he signed and gave me contains scenes cut from the final product
•After seeing the large increase of views on Netflix, Netflix approached him for a 3rd season not long ago, he's hoping for even more seasons after that
•He's not a fan of Teen Titans Go
•He also wrote episodes for the popular show Ben 10 and Ben 10 Alien Force

I wouldn't get too excited or hopeful yet, but if this is true then it could be very promising.

https://www.reddit.com/r/youngjustice/comments/4yw795/ama_today_i_met_peter_david_writer_of_young/

[CyberCubed]

Meh, there's no reason to get excited until anythings confirmed.

Given that new Justice League Action cartoon airing on CN in a few months, I think DC will see that as their new standard action superhero show and won't feel a need to bother with Young Justice.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Well, one will be airing on television and the other would be for online streaming. You can't really compare them that way since they're different mediums.

[CyberCubed]

Yeah, but DC still has to give it the go-ahead to netflix either way.

I don't know, I've completely lost interest. I loved Young Justice, I'll rewatch the show in the future, but at this point I don't really care much if it gets more episodes or not. Its only one DC show after all, they'll be dozens of new DC cartoons over the next 20-30+ years.

Its not like this is one specific franchise like Futurama that has no other iterations, voice actors, or writers. We'll see dozens of other versions of DC superheroes for the rest of time.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

The problem is that Warner Bros. and Cartoon Network seem to think that cartoons that treat the audience like they aren't morons don't sell merchandise.
I bought the CD. I bought the Blu-rays. I even bought that ****** game. That's the problem with tying the life force of the show to the merchandise: anything that wasn't the soundtrack or the DVDs sucked balls. The toys sucked. The video game sucked, even after a delay of like 18 months. I think that was all the merchandise the show got in the first place.

I like TTG as much as the next guy, and I'm sure the new "Action" show will be all right, but I think it's important for the companies - even Marvel as well - to recognize that there IS an audience today for cartoons with intelligent, mature writing.
If YJ doesn't get renewed, then I hope at least in the near future SOMETHING happens with superheroes in animation that isn't in the vein of Ultimate Spider-Man or Teen Titans Go.

[sdp]

I feel bad for the fans whose strings are pulled thinking there's hope.

Then again with all the Nicktoon revivals and even Teen Titans returning (even if on a different form) I guess anything can happen but set your expectations accordingly.

A lot of those shows ended years ago though. Teen Titans ended in 2006, got a comedy revival a decade later.

Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, etc. all ended over a decade ago in the early 2000's...got revivals.

Young Justice ended back in...2013, I think? Its really only 3 years ago.

[drgon78]

Yes, it ended in 2013, but at least it got a second season that is more the Thundercats(2011) got and really liked that one.

At least there is hope it will get new life on Netflix now if only other series could get revived like Thundercats(2011), W.i.t.c.h., Green Lantern, He-Man(2002), Swat Kats, Pirates of Darkwater, etc. Basically every good cartoon that got only 1-2 seasons.

Apparently Netflix has at least had a meeting about the possibility of picking up the show.
So at least they're aware of it.

[CyberCubed]

Plot twist: Netflix picks up YJ, but Greg Weisman isn't hired to write/direct the new season.

New season turns out to be a huge disappointment, and fans are outraged for all eternity like so many other shows who have a poor last season. :lol:

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I have to say, if Netflix didn't have such startlingly good original programming - including superhero shows! - I'd pretty much have that outlook on the series's future.

There's more good writers in the world than Greg Weisman. Plus Brandon Vietti was the primary story producer along with Weisman - it wasn't a one-man band.
Victor Cook (Mystery Incorporated, Spectacular Spider-Man) would be an awesome replacement if Weisman were unable to return for whatever reason.

[CyberCubed]

To be honest I'd be content with just a short 13 episode season to wrap up whatever they were planning with Darkseid.

This is not a show that needs to go on forever. But watch Greg Weisman purposely end the last episode on a cliffhanger again because he's known to do that in hopes of getting more episodes, but it always spites the fanbase.

[Spike Spiegel]

I love how Cubed always ends his posts on a cliffhanger.

As usual you miss the point.
It's not a cliffhanger, moron. A cliffhanger is when a bad points a gun at a good guy and it cuts to a commercial break. Weisman's endings are more of the "never the end" type.

I love Young Justice and Spectacular Spider-Man, even though they end on "cliffhangers". I don't feel spited.

[CyberCubed]

Greg Weisman is known for purposely ending things on cliffhangers in hopes he can revisit his series years down the line in either comics or another show. This is nothing new.

The man should know by now cartoons can get canceled randomly at the turn of a hat, so he should at least give his finale's satisfying conclusions.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Greg Weisman is known for purposely ending things on cliffhangers in hopes he can revisit his series years down the line in either comics or another show. This is nothing new.

You're a ****ing moron. You rotate between saying six basic things in all of your posts:

1) I hate turtle nostrils
2) I think old people should be euthanized
3) I see that this character is female. I will assume and hope that she is lesbian
4) Time sure flies!
5) Greg Weisman is a hack
6) *insert stupid thread title here*

I've even brought Greg Weisman with me today so that he can explain to you how his endings aren't cliffhangers (I agree with him):

"I NEVER leave a season with a cliffhanger.
I ALWAYS leave a season with open-ended closure.
I don't mean to sound disrespectful to you or any of my fans, but that's how my mind works. If you don't like it, I can't really help you, because you'd be asking me to change the way I tell stories.
But perhaps we're not so far apart. You cite the JLU ending, which I haven't seen. But you state that, in essence, it has open-ended closure, even noting it had unresolved plot points. That's EXACTLY what I do at the end of EVERY season. Not everything is going to be tied up into a neat knot, but every major plot point of that season will be, as happened at the end of Gargoyles, WITCH, Spectacular Spider-Man and Young Justice.
So what exactly are you looking for from me that's any different?
http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=19248

[CyberCubed]

This seems to be a rather bizarre response. Look at how he ended Young Justice Season 2, with Darkseid being introduced shaking hands with Vandal Savage.

At the time he had no idea he would get a Season 3 or not (and as we know he didn't), so he could have just ended the season with Vandal Savage flying off into space never to be seen again. That would have stung far less as a cliffhanger than seeing that tease of him going to Apocalypse and shaking hands with Darkseid.

I know Young Justice is one of your favorite shows, but there's no reason to be this overly concerned.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I'm not "overly concerned"; I'm just pissed at your wanton ignorance.

You made a thread a few weeks ago about how you can't understand why people wouldn't want to be an intellect, and yet you constantly display stupidity in every one of your posts.

I think it's much cooler to have an ending with effing Darkseid, Vandal Savage, and G. Gordon Godfrey (?) than one where Savage sort of disappears.

[CyberCubed]

I think it's much cooler to have an ending with effing Darkseid, Vandal Savage, and G. Gordon Godfrey (?) than one where Savage sort of disappears.

Even with the knowledge you may never get a conclusion? At least the first way around Savage disappearing in space still leaves stuff open ended, but it doesn't make you bitter about not getting to see what happens next. If Young Justice ended like that, I think an outcry over no Season 3 would have been far less.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Even with the knowledge you may never get a conclusion?

Yeah!

Thing is, they had been setting up Apokolips since day 1. Whether or not Darkseid dapped up Vandal at the end is moot. That plot was still gonna be left hanging.

That's not a good thing.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Sometimes it's done gracefully (as in SSM) and sometimes less so (YJ). I appreciate the ending of SSM, not that of YJ.

[CyberCubed]

Exactly my point. He's liable to end Season 3 on another cliffhanger in hopes he gets a Season 4 or beyond. And if that happens, the same cycle of fandom disappointment will happen again if the show doesn't continue.

Realistically speaking, how long is this renewal for? I assume at least 20 episodes, hopefully not just 13 episodes.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

He doesn't do it "in the hopes" of getting another season. The life and death of a TV show does not hinge on whether some network executive wants to see what happens next. Your logic is so awful. He does it because he feels that real stories don't have clean-cut endings. Real life certainly doesn't.

Most shows do try to wrap up their loose plot threads when they know they're ending, or are unsure if they're getting another season. The writers themselves suffer most of all, because their plans might never happen so they want to "get it done" rather than live in regret.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Hmm, doesn't sound great to me. What made season 2 worse (for me) were all the characters and junk. It wasn't as focused.

Part of that was because they had a constricted episode count to work with (20 as opposed to the usual 26). I actually preferred the second season for its more focused story.

[CyberCubed]

The episode count wasn't the problem, its that they introduced too many new characters in addition to keeping all the old ones around.

Wonder Girl literally had no purpose. She never got a spotlight episode and we didn't learn anything about her. You could say the same for Batgirl and Tim Drake too if they weren't established Batman characters everyone knows about from other shows.

Lagoon Boy only existed for shipping drama, and then you had all those other characters like Bumblebee, her boyfriend, then Static Shock his racially diverse superfriends, and so forth.

Old characters like Kid Flash got a reduced role in Season 2, Zatanna barely appeared, etc. for this reason.

[Cure]

IIII dunno. I respect your interpretation but it felt all over the place to me.

[sdp]

Wow, I've never been happier about being wrong in fact in my posts here where I mentioned it was highly unlikely I always said I'd love to be proven wrong. When Teen Titans was revived years later it was in a different style so it kind of made sense and that show was far more popular. To see a serialized show like this revived only a few years later it's just awesome, never saw it coming I mean how many "revive" show petitions have we had since the internet arose?

As far as S3 I'm sure many of the original plans will be different, it'll only keep the main ideas. I doubt for example the video game no one played will have any role anymore. We also need to wait and see what we get, as far as we know it could be a one off DTV or something like that and even if it's a season it might only be 10 episodes or so but we'll see. It's still a year away most likely.

What am I hoping for?
Time skip because I loved seeing the DC Universe grow between seasons, that's something we never see.
More characters. Again while many heroes didn't get a huge spotlight I just love seeing awesome heroes get their one appearance in a show.

[CyberCubed]

To be honest I can't think of many shows revived after cancellation. Futurama, I guess now Samurai Jack, and this, are the few.

The Bruce Timm DCAU has stayed dead since 2006, an entire decade ago. Given how popular that was I'm surprised we never did get a follow up.

I completely agree with all of this. During my first watch of YJ, all these new characters all of a sudden appearing in season 2, with "established" backstories, coupled with elements of the story haveing happened without witnessesing them made for a pretty confusing start to the season for me. Add the fact that most of my favorite characters in the show got kinda shafted, and changed around with, almost to the point of being separate characters than the ones I'd grown to like. Nevertheless it got better over the course of its run. The season wide story was an interesting thing to watch play out, and some of the new characters we interesting. Nevertheless, season 1 was better, and I hope season 3 is like it.

[CyberCubed]

Man, also completely forgot that some villains like Slade were taken down off-screen and such. I really hope they all get a second chance now.

I hope they give Wondergirl more of the spotlight this time around. She was really shafted last season.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Yeah, she got like one good episode and was then gone forever.
Incidentally, I think my favorite episode is 'Before the Dawn' (the one where they formally introduce Black Beetle).

Shame we can't get that second season of Thundercats to finish the story. It's such an awesome show and actually WAY better than the 80s version.

SO HAPPY:D I hope the voice cast return??? and the animation is of the same quality???

I can't see why they wouldn't have the same voice actors, but I am worried about the animation quality, bc CN would only bring this back if they could make it profitable which is achieved with either higher sales or lower budgets.

I did not watch it as much as I should have, but it was better than half the crap CN has on now and I would actually watch it now if it got a new season.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I for one am hoping the show goes onto Netflix rather than CN. I couldn't bear to see the show absolutely demolished by the network again.

[ABrown]

I don't think I'll end up watching this. I couldn't keep up with this show when it was airing. There's no way I'd be able to remember anything now that three years has gone by.

Nothing will be better than the original for one simple reason: the outtakes.

You do realize you can watch all 47 episodes right now very quickly, right?

[ABrown]

Well 1. No I can't. I don't own the dvds. So I don't currently have a means of rewatching the first two seasons. And 2. I wouldn't want to rewatch the episodes. I didn't find the first two seasons anywhere near entertaining enough for me to want to rewatch.

Really? You're a fan of the DCAU and other similar superhero shows so why didn't you enjoy Young Justice?

Likewise I'm pretty sure the whole show is still on netflix and other places online too.

[Redeemer]

Just bing watched six episodes of season 2 and the second season is really under-rated, but that might be bc of Blue Beetle, Night Wing, and Static Shock :)

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I wonder if S3 will make any sort of reference to Jason Todd. I think Weisman said that he became Robin and died within that five-year gap.

[Redeemer]

They already made a reference to Jason Todd in season 2 after they faked Artimis' death. There was a statue of Him, Artimis, Tedd Kord, and Aqua Girl in the "Grotto"

[ToTheNines]

Yeah, Jason became Robin about 2 years before Invasion and died about a year later.

[CyberCubed]

Ugh, if they do a timeskip they'll probably bring in Damian Wayne too.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I doubt that. The introduction of a new Robin each season would be too formulaic.

[ToTheNines]

Depending on how many years the jump is, it'd be cool to have Bruce "dead", Dick as the bat, Tim as Red Robin, and that little **** Damian running around.

[CyberCubed]

A lot of people are expecting the new season to pick up right where Season 2 ended, but he already said there would be a time skip if there was a Season 3.

Makes you wonder why Darkseid would prolong attacking the Earth then if it he doesn't do it for 3-5 years or whatever it is.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Why would he bother attacking the Earth? He's an ally of Vandal Savage.

[CyberCubed]

About how long does animation take from start to finish? If they just started work on the new season let's say around last week...what's the earliest we might see the first episode of the new season?

I heard animation takes 7-8 months for a single episode of a cartoon. Plus they have no scripts yet and have to get back into production. I think we won't see Season 3 till around September-October 2017 or later.

I guess reality is hitting in how far off the new season still is. About a year.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

It depends on whether this ends up on CN or Netflix.

If CN, I'd say maybe a year.
If Netflix then maybe 18 months or so, since they like to have full seasons up for the bingers.

Plus they have no scripts yet

True, but they aren't working from scratch. The plot of season 3 is completely mapped out.

[CyberCubed]

Yep, but I'm guessing Greg Weisman may change things around or do things differently than if Season 3 came out when it did. Whenever stories are postponed writers usually say, "Well I'm not going to write it exactly the way I would have years ago, but here's what I'm doing now."

I wouldn't be surprised if the Season 3 we get now is vastly different than whatever was planned originally.
