Young Justice animated series

[Raph's Girl]

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

Spoiler:

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*

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.

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.

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.

Spoiler:

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

[Cure]

Wait, you guys.

Spoiler:

Before I jump to any conclusions, does anyone know if for sure Aqualad will be back this season?

Spoiler:

CUZ WHAT IF WHAT NIGHTWING SAID TO TIM WAS ABOUT AQUALAD DYING?! YOU KNOW, HE SAID THIS AS HE MADE TIM LEADER. bhdjsba

It's an interesting theory, but they have already revealed Aqualad Season 2 art:

That said, maybe he'll only appear in flashbacks or even get the axe at some point during the season.

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

Spoiler:

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.

[Cure]

OK, good. You guys are lifesavers.

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?

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....
