OK,So I just came across this as I was looking up some things and yeah..I'm not sure if I like this idea or not. I mean it might be cool but I also feel like it is taking over the spot of the Teen Titans. What do you all think and am I like the last to know that this was going on? Lol..Oh and plus they are not even going to have Wonder girl in the show.. I don't understand why they would leave her out.
'Young Justice' Animated Series Officially Announced
Posted 4/21/10 3:31 pm ET by Blair Marnell in DC Comics, News
Back in February, word broke that a "Young Justice" animated series was in the works when Stephanie Lemelin revealed that she had been cast as Arrowette. And while the young actress subsequently removed the post from her website, the official confirmation has finally been made.
Earlier today at Cartoon Network's Upfront presentation in New York, it was announced that the new "Young Justice" animated series will debut on Cartoon Network during the 2010 - 2011 season.
The series will focus on Robin, Superboy, Artemis, Kid Flash, Miss Martian and Aqualad as they attempt to prove that they have what it takes to become the next generation of the Justice League. Sam Register ("Batman: The Brave and the Bold") is the executive producer with Greg Weisman ("The Spectacular Spider-Man") and Brandon Vietti ("The Batman") on board as producers.
The "Young Justice" comic book series debuted in 1998 and ran for 55 issues. Although the concept was created by Todd DeZago and artist Todd Nauck, the majority of the series was written by prolific comic book scribe Peter David.
It's interesting to note that Wonder Girl and Secret — two of the primary characters in the "Young Justice" comic — are missing from the animated lineup. Additionally, Arrowette has apparently been renamed "Artemis."
The animated "Young Justice" also appears to be heavily influenced by the "Teen Titans" relaunch by Geoff Johns, that featured Impluse as Kid Flash and later introduced Miss Martian to the DC Universe.
What are your thoughts on the "Young Justice" animated series? Should the series stay true to the more humorous tone of the Peter David run or the more serious "Teen Titans" run by Geoff Johns? Fire up the trouble alert and let us know what you're thinking in the comment section or on Twitter!
