Young Justice cartoon info from Comicon

[icon_uk]

Boy howdy, are there going to be a LOT of guest stars on this show... check out the artwork lining the walls!



More Information from here

• The series takes place within the 50 DC Multiverses, specifically Earth-16, at an early stage in DC Continuity
• Sixteen of the regular Justice League members will appear, with Bruce Greenwood voicing Batman, Phil LaMarr voicing Aquaman, Alan Tudyk as Green Arrow, and Rob Lowe as Captain Marvel
• The core Young Justice team will consist of Robin/Dick Grayson (Jesse McCartney), Kid Flash/Wally West (Jason Spizak), Aqualad (Kari Peyton), Superboy/Connor Kent (Nolan North), Miss Martian (Danica McKellar), and Artemis (Stephani Lemelin)

There's another piece of information about Aqualad which I won't mention here, but is on the linked page, so beware of spoilers if you go there.

Oh, and just because there was a link to it, the best butt in the DCU shows up in DC Universe Online... the view is almost... hypnotic

and for legality, about the only YJ cover I can post here I think

They're reprinting World Without Grown Ups in October

And I think Didio said something the other day about a new Young Justice book in the Johnny DC line.

[jarodrussell]

"When there's trouble, you know who to call...YOUNG JUSTICE!"

Ouch. What was that pain in the back of my head? It felt like...like...apathy?

[nezchan]

Okay, when M'Gann vanished, I can't be the only one who thought of this.

[colonel_green]

Gee, some people on the show aren't going to make it the whole way and John Zatara is a member of the League. I certainly can't imagine that anything would happen to him...

[likeaminx]

....Nolan North is Superboy. NOLAN NORTH. This will be all I will ever be able to think about:




I love VA's who play a bunch of people.

OK?...so this part stuck out about the YJ cartoon: In a twist, the creators have decided to name Black Manta as Aqualad's father!

Considering how close Johns has been working with the YJ team, and considering he's said new Aqualad was almost the first thing he came up with when DCE was formed with Diane Nelson at the head, can we thus deduce the Young Justice cartoon people have revealed a (albeit already wildly theorized) spoiler for Brightest Day?

As for the cartoon itself I notice Diana is clearly shown so whatever "rights" issues the B&B folk had with her doesn't seem to have been a problem for Young Justice. Does this clear the way for Wonder Girl to appear?

Kid Flash/Wally West

FFFFFFFFFUU

[xammax]

Danica McKellar


YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[jeyl]

Hehe. I just LOVED how the Producers called out all the members of the Justice League by name and how they serve as mentors and protege's to our characters....
...
...
...everyone EXCEPT Wonder Woman!

You want to know what Wonder Woman's status is on the DC boards? Well, there it is in that video folks. She's on the freaking board but the producers just elected to ignore her while they name everyone else who isn't a female, which is everyone but her. Oh, and Batman is the overall general who gives the orders? I'm shocked. Why don't you just have Batman give each JL and YJ member an instant death collar if they don't obey his every command? Or why don't we just call this stupid series BATMAN and the sex starved teenagers of Young Justice?

This series is going to suck. It does absolutely nothing new, focuses too much on the male demographic by ensuring that the males outnumber the females and that the males are the ones who are in charge. Oh look, even the legality cover features none of the female characters, and proclaims "The boys bust in!" I'm so sick and tired of this sausage fest bullsh**.

Robin/Dick Grayson Kid Flash/Wally West

And to think I was so exited about this ;_;

[big_daddy_d]

*sighs and groans* Dick Grayson again? I love Dick Grayson, but as much as I was really hoping the Robin in the series was Damian, would've at least rather have Tim.

[wcitymike]

Winnie from WONDER YEARS as Miss Martian? Neato.

[terrykun]

Whatever flash content (no pun intended) is at the start of this post, it's not loading on my computer, despite updating to the latest versions of Firefox and Flash respectively. Any other link for it?

[blackruzsa]

D: So no Bart and no Tim?
*cries*

otherwise, awesome.

[colonel_green]

Huh, for those wondering about there being no Wonder Girl (which confused me, given that Diana herself is present), Johns was asked about that at the DC SDCC panel:

Why no Wonder Girl in the Young Justice cartoon? Johns: "Because of the story they want to tell with Artemis. We do have plans for Arrowette and Wonder Girl in the future."

So...that sounds like "Artemis" actually is supposed to be some version of Artemis of the Bana-Mighdall.

[pyrotwilight]

But...Earth 16 is the world the awesome Super Aang/ Hyper Evolved Chris Kent Superman from Countdown Arena came from.

[starpiper]

Um...well. That was...interesting.

On the negative side, I'm really not sure why they decided to go with Dick and Wally as Robin and Kid Flash when the other members of the team are contemporaries of Tim and Bart; I'm especially baffled as to why they went with what looks like Tim's costume if they were planning on making Dick Robin. Wouldn't they go with the traditional green, red, and yellow (with optional black) with Dick? Even if the concern was that it would resemble the Teen Titans Go!Robin's costume too much, they could have easily just done a different design for the costume but kept Dick's colors. It just seems weird, since I imagine that both comic fans and people who might have watched the older DCAU cartoons would automatically associate red and black with Tim. Hmmmm...

Also odd...if there's no legal issues preventing Wonder characters from showing up on the show...why not have Wonder Girl be a part of the line-up? Are they just saving her for later on? Is a member of YJ going to be one of the people who Weissman and Vietti said won't make it out, leaving Cassie (or, given the Dick and Wally thing, maybe Donna) a place to step in? Curious.

On the positive side, I really, really love the art for the series. It's so very pretty. I'm also liking the costume designs, especially Miss Martian's dark costume (the one she's wearing when she turns invisible). I also like that, judging from the designs, it almost looks like YJ is from the same universe as the Crisis on Two Earths movie. That just seems kind of neat to me.

[silverzeo]

Okay, so Dick is going to be played by tht edude who is goign to Play Roxas/Ven from Kingdom Hearts. And the guys for the Kid was Sideswipe from RotF and Bawn in the Transformers game.... anything else from the guy... why couldn't they include Tim and Bart to play their roles...

[big_daddy_d]

Ok my eyes swept over too fast because I just now notice that Kid Flash is Wally. I don't want to sound petty but this is making me not want to watch the damn show. I'm pretty sure it'll be awesome, but.. Dick as Robin. Wally as Kid Flash..seriously I cringe thinking about it. CRINGE. Like I said before, love the characters but come on. They had their time in the spotlight. Throw in Bart as Kid Flash or Impulse at least. Personally would like to have Damian as Robin, but I would accept Tim, but god no Dick Grayson. Throw him in as Nightwing if you want Dick.

[stubbleupdate]

Nobody's mentioned that they have "sex pounding in their heads"

[bad-luck-bird.livejournal.com]

After initial disappointment at not having Bart and Tim I'm actually totally cool with the characters being Dick and Wally. (It... does not hurt that I rather like Dick Grayson a lot.) I'm trying hard to curb my stubborn fangirl tendencies of "it's different/not what I'd have written so I hate it" and give this a fair chance.

I can't wait to see what they do. It looks like it's going to be a whole lot of fun.

[sweettart1823]

I'm disappointed.

I get that later on whatever they can introduce Bart and Tim, but I mean come on. It wasn't like they were founding members of young justice in the first place [/sarcasm] And I really do hope they eventually bring them in I'm just disappointed that they didn't start out with them. And I hope they do bring in Cassie and Cissie too, I don't see why they didn't have Cissie to start off with and put Artemis in there it's just weird to me because I mean... I don't know whatever I hope at least she's like the Artemis in the comics because I love her.

I'm disappointed but I'll deal with it I guess I'll wait till I see the show.

[ruhig_knight]

The whole 'why the hell Dick and Wally instead of Tim and Bart if this is suppose to be YOUNG JUSTICE?!' thing aside I laughed at the fact pop singer Jesse McCartney is voicing Robin. Hell, I'm still laughing.

...And I'm a bit upset there's no chance of seeing a Nightwing led (non-Teen) Titans as mentors to the YJ.

[pepperspray101]

Booooo. Will the real Young Justice please stand up?

And I disagree with them having to be the new guys. Part of young justice appeal, was that they had to prove themselves to be just as good as the Teen Titans before them. They were like the younger sibling having big shoes to fill and trying to get out from under their shining older sibling's shadow and be their own person.

Part of Tims struggle was that he wasn't as cool or as social as Dick Grayson who everyone compared him to. In the end, Tim doesn't become the leader of young justice, but he's okay with it and I always admired him from not trying to be exactly like his "older brother" and letting someone else lead.

[lyraeinne]

I'm actually thrilled. Nothing wrong with Tim and Bart, but Dick and Wally are the natural choices for a story meant to homogenize an earlier, less complicated DCU. And the art. It's actually pretty.
