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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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. Depending on your point of view, I guess it's cool or kinda pathetic.

[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:



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'



Really fluid stuff. Looks great. Looks alive.

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

Spoiler:

And check out the glow of the shackles, and Hawkgirl's torso.

Spoiler:

Just about everything in this shot is jagged.

Spoiler:

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.

[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.

So.... any news?
