Welcome to the Team, Jaime Reyes

[arbre_rieur]

Some pages from YOUNG JUSTICE #20-21, which take place a month before the first episode of the second season.

YJ #20 (Players, Chapter 1: Wheelbarrow, Shoe, Thimble):







YJ #21 (Players, Chapter 2: Directly to Jail):

Wonder Woman, Superman, Superboy, and the Captains Atom and Marvel have been forcibly teleported to the Moon by whoever this "First Leader" that Brainiac is cooperating with is.

Interesting Brainiac design, and references to Jaime's old series.

YJverse is still the best 'verse.

[long_silence]

I'm still miffed by the lack of Paco and Brenda

[espanolbot]

Well we haven't seen Milargo or Jaime's parents either, doesn't mean they don't exist.

Seriously, if the show can have Madame Xanadu, Steph Brown and Rocket in it, I don't think that Paco and Brenda are going to stay at the fringes forever.

Besides, they've already shown that Jaime has something approximating a normal home-life outside of superheroing, maybe he deal with them there. :)

[icon_uk]

IIRC we see Paco briefly in flashback in the most recent episode (the one pulled from broadcast but on iTunes)

[magus_69]

That was his friend Ty, IIRC.

[icon_uk]

D'oh! Forgot about Ty, and it would make more sense to include him since he's a metagene candidate with a subplot.

[lieut_kettch]

I'm hoping Ty's last name and his grandfather referencing his coming from "a long line of Apache Chiefs" isn't a red herring, and we see him bust out of of his Reach cell with an, 'INUKCHUK!"

[wizardru]

This is the second time I've heard that an episode was pulled from broadcast. What's the dealio? Was it just pulled because of programming issues or was it pulled due to content or what? I mean, will they be showing it?

[icon_uk]

Cartoon Network programming decision by all accounts, though no one knows why. Rumours that it was because Steph makes a cameo have been fairly debunked. It will be shown, but in January, when the DC Nation block returns (after a two week return!)

[amaresu]

It's a large cast and we, rather unfortunatly, don't have the time to go into everyone's home life. It's safe to assume with this production team that they're there in Jamie's background, just not onscreen.

It'd be neat if CN stopped messing around with the show and maybe authorized some spin-offs or something to focus more on individual characters or groups.

[kaysper]

I was a bit disappointed that the runaway in Beneath was Ty instead of Brenda...But I can understand the reasons why. (One, having metagene potential kind of defeats the purpose of the character, and two, there's probably only so much even THIS show can slip past the censors.)

I'm still holding out that they'll probably show up at some point even if it's just a cameo, what with all the sly winks the series has already been providing.

[icon_uk]

Heh, I never really noticed before, but M'gann is pulling a Sheila (and I don't mean that in Australian slang terms, sorry)



I always loved that power effect, the fact that she vanishes before the cloak does.

[kaysper]

I love this animation of M'gann, if only because I feel like doing just that a decent chunk of the time..Though it being adorable also helps.

[eyz]

Loving these little nods to Giffen's Beetle^__^
The "Peacemaker"! Aw Yeah!

[lieut_kettch]

Plus it was the Charlton characters (plus Guy) that initially got close to Jaime. I wonder if Earth-16 has a Question.

[amaresu]

I just really enjoy how Dick constantly shows up behind Jamie. It amuses me.

[majingojira]

. . . And now I ship Jaime and Wonder Girl.

[espanolbot]

Well it's unlikely for WG to end up with Conner, what with him being technically 22 (biologically around 16 though with a chronological age of about 9 or so).

Also he's kind of dating Wendy from the Super Friends, who he goes to college with. While still having feelings for M'gann, who he dumped for attempting to mindwipe him of his disapproving thoughts about her mindwiping people to the point of near-braindeath, who is herself still dating Lagoon Boy

[arilou_skiff]

God I love superhero soap opera!

[icon_uk]

IIRC Conner's chronological age was 16 weeks when the series started, so he's only recently turned five.

[long_silence]

Is he dating Wendy? I didn't really get that vibe from their talk.

Also for some reason I get the feeling Cassie has a crush on Nightwing.

[lieut_kettch]

Hmm... this can work. It's unlikely Traci 13 will be introduced since Zatanna is the same age as Dick in this universe-- and another dark-haired teenage sorceress would be confusing.

[espanolbot]

Depends on whether the Traci of the Young Justice universe is also a biracial English girl or not. If she were, then it'd be harder to confuse her with the Italian American Zatanna.

[kaysper]

Cassie being upset over NOT being abducted is too fun for words. (Oh, she may bluster and fib, but the dialogue and expressions say otherwise.)

[sslrranma]

Anyone know who are in those crystals? I recognize black adam and obviously major force.

[pinkbeauty34]

I prefer there not being paco and Brenda. G
They usually just annoy me. I like the YJ version of blue beetle, his life, and his story so much better.
