Young Justice (Spoilers)
Young Justice returns in one week! So I thought I'd put up a new thread for the show :smallsmile:
Anybody excited for this? I realize that episode 10 was leaked online months ago, but the fact that YJ is returning to the airwaves at all makes me excited. I'm really enjoying the show, having enjoyed everything Greg Weisman has worked on thus far, and I continue to be excited to see where the show is going.
For the purposes of this thread, I'm going to ask that we restrict discussion out-of-spoiler-tags to aired episodes only. Any leaked material, like episode 10 is now, or preview material should be discussed in spoiler tags.
Once Episode 10 airs in a week, we can start talking about that now, but I know some people have held off on watching it until it airs officially, a position I respect and one I think this thread should respect as well.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
I like the show. I have no idea where it's going since Weisman has like 18 plotlines going on. Let's see what I can remember, I might forget some things since it's been like seven months since new episodes aired.
Spoiler
Show
So there's a mole in the group, which they seem to be pointing at Artemis, but that seems to obvious. I think it's Superboy, and he has some post hypnotic suggestions or something he doesn't know about from the cloning process. Which I actually think would be a nice season finale, spending the whole season of Kon becoming friends with everyone but then someone from The Light shows up and activates his conditioning and he
goes to town on the rest of the team. Then after Young Justice breaks him out of it somehow and Kon has a massive guilt trip Superman finally starts acting like Superman and takes him to the Kent farm to recover.
The episode with Aqualad going to Atlantis, the giant thing frozen in the ice was most likely
Starro the Conquerer, and since they sent some of the remains to Star Labs, I'm pretty sure that's gonna come back and bite them in the butt.
I can't see the Helmet of Fate not being claimed by someone at some point. And Kent Nelson being voiced by Ed Asner?
Awesome.
Artemis has some loyalty issues, which, if you're a big enough comic nerd, is cause
Spoiler
Show
she's Sportsmaster's daughter. And this show made Sportsmaster awesome, somehow.
All of the blatant foreshadowing of Robin becoming leader makes me think Aqualad is going to leave or die.
And the episode in Bialya ended with Boom Tubes. So Darkseid and Apokolips.
Spoiler
Show
And apparently there is going to be an episode written by Peter David with
Secret in it. And that's awesome for anyone like me who read the Young Justice comics.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
Really looking forward to it. I think I might see about rewatching the episodes that have already aired.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
As a side note, has anyone read those YJ spin-off comics? Not the DCU comics that the show is very loosely based off of, but the comics that are in-continuity with the show.
They any good?
-
Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
I am maybe a terrible person in that I have been steadily hooking anyone I can on Young Justice. First victims, my roommates. Next: the world? I can only hope.
Maybe if there's enough new interest they won't mess with the airing schedule again.
Not like I have the right to complain, I mean, I didn't even meet the show until Augustish. I can't even imagine what it's like for those of you who've been waiting since Marchish. o__o
(I know nothing about the comics, regrettably, but am definitely if dubiously interested. I'd similarly be curious to hear word on them.)

I did, and from what I recall they weren't that bad
And I got from those comics that on Earth 16 the flashs didn't get their powers by insanely unlikely lightning hits. (Well Jay never got his powers this stupidly)
Instead both Barry and Wally had reproduced Jays original experiment and got their powers that way.
(I hope Jay learned his lesson and now locked the formula somewhere where nosy kids can't find it)
-
Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
I never had a problem with how Barry got his powers, sometimes one in a million things happen. The problem was the Wally got them the exact same way. The exact same lab, next to the exact same rack of chemicals.
-
Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
Well, if the results of the event were duplicatable, then him being in the exact same lab with the exact same rack of chemicals would increase the the chance of a similar event with similar results happening.
Also, the Speed Force Did It
-
Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
Which is a weak explanation.
That also was retroactively invented 30 years later or so.
And they only had to come up with a new way as in the early days Jay was supposed to be from a different earth.
Now if you put them into the same continuity it makes sense that they copied the original experiment.
Especially considering that they needed an explanation for Wally, and the double strike of lightning was a bit much.

From my understanding, the reason for the lengthy hiatus was because the episodes weren't completed yet. Even if the show was topping American Idol in popularity, they can't air what they don't have.

This seems a bit untrue, given the updates Greg Weisman has been giving about the show's production.
As soon as May 12th, episodes 10 and 11 were ready to be aired (with episodes 12 and 13 in post-production). As soon as July 15, 10-15. As soon as the first of August? 10-18.
Weisman himself has said that the delays are not because of production slowness on his end, but because of decisions of the network.

On top of what kpenguin said, episode 10 was leaked to the internet months ago, so not only has that one been ready, it somehow got out long before the show's resumption.

The episode was accidently uploaded to the video section of Young Justice's cartoon network page. It was only up for a few hours, but it was long enough for the internet to grab it.

Cartoon Network likely wanted to have a good number of episodes ready before they aired them so they'd be able to air them on their own terms rather than airing one or two and then being forced to wait for the next one. And I can't blame them at all for that. So yeah, I do blame production slowness. Though, admittedly, it may be that Cartoon Network decided to start airing too early, rather than waiting for when they had a better quantity.

I dunno. Luthor doesn't strike me as a man who goes by half-measures, though.
Either way, it's good to have a sort of subtle-evil-genius Luthor. Much as I like classically hammy villains, it's a guy like this that I see being the kind that holds onto corporate holdings despite being one of Big Blue's nemeses.

He is only about 20 weeks old, and all the information downloaded into his head was specifically for his use as a weapon for the light against Superman. Which means any information on how interact socially comes from other costume wearing or insignia wearing people, all the information he has learned it he has learned in the last 4 weeks, and he is a teenager (not the most logical demographic:smalltongue:).

Perhaps, perhaps not. Remember, he basically born and rapidly aged inside a test tube, so his conceptions of how society works are... a bit simplistic, to put it lightly.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
There was so many good things about this episode.
Spoiler
Show
Roy being awesome. Sportsmaster being awesome. Luthor and Mercy being awesome. Ra's just being there is awesome.
Way too many kids at that high school appear to be superheros. And Snapper Carr is there.
Megan tried way to hard to hide the fact that she's actually a white Martian. "I'm totally a green Martian." If she had been talking to someone not Connor, they might actually pick up on it.
My favorite part was probably when Roy had tracked Cheshire and Sportsmaster back to there meeting place unnoticed and then Ra's comes out and spots him almost instantly. That's why he's the head of the League of Assassins.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
Also,

I like the Ra's reveal. I was like, "Wait, is that? I think that's Ra's al Ghul..."
Then basically as soon as Red Arrow/Speedy/However-you-want-to-call-him spots him, I had a short little "Yay, I was right"/"Crap, I was right" moment right before Ra's looks directly at him. You don't just sneak up on a Batman villain, pal.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
So, exactly how many villains associated with "The Light" are we on now anyway? I count:
Cadmus
Those guys behind the Red Tornado-esque bot.
Kobra
Sportsmaster
The League of Shadows, lead by Ra's al Ghul
Cheshire
Black Manta
That psychic guy from the desert episode (don't recall him ever being named).
Darkseid, or someone else from Apokalypse (Boom Tubes from the end of the desert episode.)
Lex Luthor
Which is quite a list. In fact, I think the only villains we've seen so far that haven't been indicated to be involved with "The Light" were the scientist who created the superhero-copying bot and that "Lord of Chaos" kid and his lackey from Doctor Fate episode. And I wouldn't be surprised if the former was working for them.

Psimon. I seem to recall him saying "Psimon says" in the episode, but unless you're watching with captions on it's pretty impossible to know there was a p there.

Icicle, Mr. Freeze and Captain Cold are probably in the Light as well, seeing how Batman noticed it was odd that three ice themed villains were attacking simultaneously.
Vandal Savage could be in the Light. Well, unless Ra's already filled their quota on immortal sociopaths.

Ah, so the one Green Arrow and Speedy handled was named Icicle. I'd never seen him before, and they didn't use his name.
Good point though, I'd forgotten about those three. Being as they haven't been mentioned since the first three minutes of the first episode, an easy thing to do.

Why would they? All they have in common is "immortality". While talking about Savage though, how has he not been trapped under an avalanche for eternity yet? Or does that happen alot but someone digs him out accidentally/on purpose?

There's a YJ associated action figure of him, though, which indicates that he'll at least be in the show. Same with Ra's.
Light member speculation away:
Spoiler
Show
He's speculated to be L-1, since the silhouette somewhat matches his profile and the aforementioned action figure means he has some role in the show.
L-2 and L-3 are Ra's Al ghul and Lex Luthor respectively. They share the same voice as Ra's and Lex and match the profiles.
L-4 is voiced by Marina Sirtis, who is confirmed to be the future voice of Queen Bee. Queen Bee's profile from her brief appearance matches the silhouette. L-4's one voiced appearance was the episode dealing with Queen Bee's Bialya.
L-5 is voiced by Roger Craig Smith, who also voices Prince Orm. Orm is known in the comics to be Ocean Master and the silhouette matches Ocean Master's appearance. He was the one who addressed Blank Manta during Downtime.
L-6 has a French accent and a dome sillouhette. These two aspects indicate it is the Brain.
L-7 has yet to have spoken and his/her silhouette is.. odd. The inhumanly long neck and prongs on the head indicate something nonhuman. Current speculation is that L-7 is a white martian.

They did once, in an issue of Outsiders that I believe was released two years ago.
But I'm guessing the new DC reboot could erase that. Who knows.
I haven't been keepin up with YJ because I'm usually too busy to watch it on Fridays, but I'm probably going to start it up again so I can find out who the light are.

Except that Cain already exists in DC canon (he lives in The Dreaming), so that doesn't make sense.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
Well, whether or not the Vertigo comics are a part of the main DC canon tends to vary.
For example the main DC universe has a whole bunch of Deaths that aren't a perky goth chick. Nekron, Black Racer, Black Flash, etc.
And aside from Cain Savage has also been Alexander the Great, Vlad the Impaler, Blackbeard and a bunch of others.

Also, if you dont go anywhere near places where avalances occur, then the risk wont ever go past 0%.
Also, if he ever actualy get stuck somewhere, then he does have a cult or something, that would go digging after him soonish.

Its complex. I all ways saw Cain in the Dreaming as the concept of Cain otherwise why would Abel be there as well.
Oh and Savage is Cain and also not Cain He didn't have the concept of being Cain until the church of crime fulfilled the prophesy. though then the mark of cain was returned to him and he was litteraly Cain walking the earth.
Also this was when Vertigo was still not quite part of DC cannon

Young Justice Joker looks awesome. So awesome.:smallcool:
Ok, I haven't seen this anywhere so I'm going to throw this theory out here. Superboy's teacher knows hes a superhero (was at Happy Harbor, and NONE OF THEM WERE WEARING COSTUMES then). Superboy doesn't even have glasses or "amnesia vision". He has an inside-out shirt. The teacher was in another episode too, not sure which one it was. He could just be a superhero-press secretary, or hero, but thats alot of work. Correcting work and hero-ing is hard. Does he have a name?

I actually get the feeling that Eddie Nigma escaping wasn't planned at all. Hugo seemed amusedly surprised when he spoke of it. I believe their real end goal was to get Hugo in the Warden's chair, with the breakout shaming Waller enough to be forced to resign. While the breakout failed, it was close enough to make Waller step down.
I do hope she shows up later. As leader of Checkmate or commanding the Suicide Squad or something.

Re: Young Justice (Spoilers)
Just caught the new episode on Youtube (was working when it aired).
Spoiler

For some reason I thought Hugo Strange's name was familiar when it was first given at the start there, but I still can't place it. The only thing that's coming to mind is Marvel's Doctor Strange, which obviously can't be it. Just what is his role in the DCU?
Good episode. Glad to see them revisiting the ice villain situation, and confirming their ties to The Light (which is getting ridiculous in how many villains it encompasses). I wonder what the point of getting Strange installed as the new Warden is, particularly since apparently it was more important than breaking the prisoners out of jail. Also wonder what role Riddler will have to play, since obviously his escape wouldn't have been mentioned if he isn't going to pop back up. I'd agree that it doesn't sound like he was part of The Light's plan, given how Strange and Icicle talked about it, which could make him an interesting wild card.
Seems every episode of the show just raises more questions about The Light. With more than half the season still to go that's fine, but I hope we start getting more answers than questions, say, as we approach episode 20 and up. For something as big as this seems to be I don't know if they can just spring all the answers on us in the last few episodes and have it not seem rushed.

With more than half the season still to go that's fine, but I hope we start getting more answers than questions, say, as we approach episode 20 and up. For something as big as this seems to be I don't know if they can just spring all the answers on us in the last few episodes and have it not seem rushed.

Huh. Must be a coincidence that his name sounds familiar to me then. Either that or it's because of the similarity to Doctor Strange. Or I have heard of him once and just remember unconsciously. Because he's certainly not consciously familiar to me reading over that wiki page.

As soon as I saw Waller and Strange were in charge of Belle Reve, I knew Light was involved. Waller had previous connections to Cadmus, so I was wary of her, but Strange I was certain would end up being up to no good. Their (the Light's) plan didn't so much surprise me as much as it reminded me that I don't always see anywhere near deep enough into the game to guess the next move correctly.
