Young Justice Cartoon

[radrcks]

Okay so I've heard that the series will be taking the place of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, but does anyone happen to know the premiere date? The last I heard it was supposed to start airing in November sometime.

Why can't WB run two DC animated productions side by side anymore??? It seems they are always canceling one successful series in order to introduce a different one. Well, I suppose one plus will be that Batman is supposed to play a big part in Young Justice, but Brave and the Bold is good enough to stay on the air along with another series.

[radrcks]

Well I watched some of Brave and the Bold but it wasn't my cup of tea, I didn't despise it as much as I did Teen Titans, but it was far from my favorite cartoon. It's sad though thinking back how long BtAS StAS and even Justice League ran and now to see that most of the newer ones only last 1-2 years. Sure The Batman ran for like 4 seasons (and I was just getting used to that one by the time they pulled it) but they were only like 12 episode seasons. Forget thinking of having an animated DC property last more than 2 seasons, I'd settle for a quality DC property series lasting more than 30 episodes.

I have but one question

will Lil-Lobo and Beast Boy be in it?

cuz that would at least be a step in the right direction.

No, it's not actually based on the Young Justice comic, they're just using the name. It's Superboy, Robin, Miss Martian, the new Aqualad (I hear he'll be the acting leader), Kid Flash, and an apparently new character named Artemis who is a blonde female archer but is not Cissie King-Jones or Mia Dearden, nor is she the red-headed Amazon named Artemis in the DCU.


They've also mentioned that Speedy/Red Arrow will appear and images seem to indicate that the original Aqualad/Tempest and Mary Marvel may also appear. There are 16 members of the Justice League in this series and one of them is Zatara, which makes me think Zatanna may actually be part of the YJ group at some point. The producers also let slip that not all the members will survive.

[gbagok]

Robin being so young and still being Grayson looks so wrong. This is a specific alt reality in DC, right?

My guess is Artemis's days are numbered, and maybe Superboy's too since he died in the comics. He came back though, so that counts as "surviving," right?

[Hordak Alpha]

Yeah, anyone making any sort of show nowadays gets in it their head that a bunch of characters need to get killed off here and there. I really see no point to it, ESPECIALLY in a show that kids will probably be the biggest part of the audience. What kid is going to want to see their favorite character(s) bite the big one??

Both The Batman and The Brave & The Bold have 65 episodes.

Superman TAS - 54 episodes
Batman Beyond - 52 episodes
Static Shock - 52 episodes
ZETA Project - 26 episodes

I assume from that we're not counting the evolution of BTAS into TNBA? Because that would knock the total up to something like 111, I think?

You know I don't keep up with B&tB...

But I meant in general the days where seasons were 20+ episodes and aired daily to make it seem even longer - not the more recent trend of 12-13 episode seasons that air once a week and are off air for an extended period of time.

[radrcks]

Well I just found out that Cartoon Network is going to air a special one hour preview on Nov 26th to launch the series, but the article I read also said that they still haven't given it a weekly slot, and that it might not start airing regularly until 2011.

Whoopsie! Looks like they accidentally revealed that Artemis IS Cissie King aka Arrowette! Arrowette is a DREADFUL name. I'm not mad at them for changing it, but it's odd to choose a name that is so common.

Check it out!

Well this makes me happy. I still wish they would have kept the old costume. This one makes her look more like a green version of her Dark Arrowette costume, or a more Green Arrow influenced version. I could see them wanting to change it a bit because her costume did show a lot of skin.

It's also mostly red and most of the others also have red in their costumes (as did all of the original Titans), so this helps her stand out a bit.

[Grimbot]

This is absolutely amazingly well made.

Is this going to be repeated? Tivo didn't record it for some reason

2 episodes of GI Joe, 2 of Transformers and the Firebreather movie as well.

Crazy night of animation.

yup agreed. I dvr'd and watched young justice, gi joe, transformers, firebreather and the avengers. I felt like a 10 yr kid again with all the awesome cartoons premiering at the same time(the avengers had a 2 part 'season' finale).

Check youtube.

thank you...

Was that Conroy voicing Batman? And did I see TWO Green Lanters? And why is Zantana a guy?

1)I don't think that was Conroy, just a good soundalike.
2) Yep, Hal Jordan & John Stewart.
3) That's Zatanna's dad.

[BCI Guy]

And why is Zantana a guy?

Like RP said - her dad, Zatara. Predates Zatanna by nearly 30 years. Debuted along with Superman in Action Comics #1.

No it was Bruce Greenwood, he did the Bruce Wayne/Batman voice for Batman Under the Red Hood DTV

I watched the premere movie yesterday and I'm not imprtessed too much attitude(if it were just one or two it would be one thing but all of them?)
So far teen titans was waaaay better.

[wyldman11]

I blame the attitude thing on the situation they set up, them being teens, only having an hour, and trying to set them up as a team given the circumstances.
