Young Justice Preview

"Titans Together!"

Ok, so there's also a new DC cartoon in the pipeline...Young Justice...featuring ONE original member of Young Justice???




First off, Greg Weisman is showrunning, which already makes this a must-watch. This guy brought you Spectacular Spider-man AND Gargoyles, which is definitely in the Steve Top 20 TV shows of all-time.

Love that it's going to incorporate the whole DC Universe with appearances by the JLA as idols and mentors. The art style looks neat and clean, and wait, did he just say people are gonna die?

But what's with this team? Dick and Wally instead of Tim and Bart? I like Dick and especially Wally but Tim's cool, calm, collected leadership and Bart's, well, impulsiveness were the whole point of the original Young Justice series. Superboy is the only actual member of the original Young Justice and then we round out the team with the Miss Martian, the new Blaqualad, and Artemis?  She doesn't seem to be Wonder Girl, or Arrowette, is she the adult Artemis from Wonder Woman or is she the red-shirt that's gonna die and set up the arrival of WG or Arrowette?

Peter David (writer of stuff...and the Young Justice comic) has confirmed he is writing some episodes for the show, but he couldn't tell us what the first one was about...because it's a Secret.  So we're definitely gonna get some Young Justice history in this show at some point.

I just hope Slobo doesn't show up.
