I'm not so much into Grand Finales. Probably why I'm more of a television or comic book guy than a movie or graphic novel guy. I believe (whole-heartedly) in the on-going story. That's what LIFE feels like to me. Gargoyles is a perfect example. Characters come; characters go and some even die, but the world goes on. I even know (but don't ask) how Goliath dies, but I don't see it as the end of that world. It's only A FINALE, because there is no THE FINALE. -- Greg Weisman

"I think Brandon and I feel that if we like something, the odds are good the fans will. So if you have a moment that you're like, "Oh my God, that's so of cool. Vandal Savage is the father of Dr. Fate." It's like, we think that's pretty cool, so we think the fans will think it's pretty cool too. And that sort of becomes our guiding light." - Greg Weisman

"It’s really examining the dangers of looking at the past through rose-colored glasses and doing a great service by having most (though not Superboy) of the characters realize that this is not the past as they remember it to be. This is the past as seen through Peter David’s eyes and as such it is much more immature and problematic. A key moment of this was the interaction that Robin had with Batman. As we saw in Batman: Urban Legends #10, the Bruce that Tim knows was supportive and happy for Tim finding his own happiness with Bernard. However, the Bruce of the Peter Davidverse? Less so, going as far as to call Tim’s sexuality a phase, a phrase that absolutely would have felt right at home in David’s era of Young Justice." - Cori McCreery

We have the advantage of hindsight. You've got DC with 80-plus years of continuity behind it. That's hundreds and hundreds of writers, artists, and editors over those decades. And so, I think it's inevitable that there's duplication, there's inconsistency here and there. I'm not claiming that the same couldn't happen to us. I'm just saying that we have the advantage of being able to look back across DC's history over this period with hindsight. With that, comes opportunity. We didn't name Dr. Fate Nabu. That's from DC lore, but Nabu is, in mythology, the son of Marduk. And we made Vandal Marduk, and then what that means is that Vandal is the father of Nabu, Dr. Fate, just as an example. -- Greg Weisman

"There are a lot of comics that I absolutely recognize that are problematic, and I still love them because they mattered to me at specific times. And, I'm not saying that all of them were, but definitely to your point, we've moved, we've changed as people, and that's okay. And we are still able to go back and go, you know, I don't love that this was happening, but this was happening, and we can talk about it now. And we can recognize it now. We didn't recognize it then, some of us didn't – I certainly didn't. And so I think it's having that love and wanting to maintain that love but recognizing that you can't stay there." - Meghan Fitzmartin

"There were a lot of female characters at the time who struggled to be in those spaces. And I recognize that, I recognize being in a very male dominated space. And I think there's a lot of angst that we don't always talk about. And there's a lot of, "Well, you should just be happy that you're here." And I think for Cassie, I think that's a lot of people being like, "Well you should just be happy enough that you're here." And that takes away from a lot of the stuff that she's had to put up with and go through. And so wanting to give Cassie that voice and give her that space to put paint to the fact that she's frustrated. She's got a lot to say. And as I said, as Dave and I were digging into the story, it was a lot about how Cassie is just done. Cassie is just angry. And it was fun to be able to write that, it was fun as a female creator, to be able to write being angry. Because it's a space that we don't always get to see." - Meghan Fitzmartin

We decided early on, that although we were borrowing the Young Justice title, we were not adapting the Young Justice comic. Rather we were adapting the entire DC Universe through the eyes of its young heroes. -- Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti

We have a MUCH larger audience numerically in S4 than in ANY prior season. Hell, our hate-watchers alone probably top our S1&2 numbers. -- Greg Weisman

It was 30 years ago next month that Tim Drake debuted the first major redesign of the Robin costume, outside of the older Dick Grayson of pre-Crisis Earth 2.

"I thought, 'There is no next issue... Oh no. I’m going to miss writing...not only Miles [Morales], but all of his friends.' All of these characters discovering adulthood is really fun to write, and I’ve been writing it my whole life. There’s something about that magic moment where you're not quite an adult, not quite a kid. So I said, 'I don’t want to say I want to do the Ultimate line here. Because that’s not what I’m saying. But I want to do a line that would represent that idea.' Dan [DiDio] said to me, 'Young Justice is just sitting there, and it bothers me. Because people love it, and we don’t have a Young Justice comic.' 'That’s perfect,' I said." - Brian Michael Bendis

In the highly anticipated new season, the team faces its greatest challenge yet as it takes on meta-human trafficking and the terrifying threat it creates for a society caught in the crossfire of a genetic arms race spanning the globe and the galaxy."

It will be paired with the new live-action Titans series!

In this action-packed series, Dick Grayson emerges from the shadows to become the leader of a fearless band of new heroes, including Starfire, Raven and many others.

Television."

The Young Justice TV tie in comic was fairly unique insamuch as it works in parallel with the broadcast series. Events from the series were referenced in it and even more unusually plot points from the TV series were revealed or expanded in the comic. (This is probably because the comic was written by Greg Weisman, also the story editor for the series itself and he believes in cross marketing)

Case in point a long time Batman villain who had a new origin, and one which ties into a rather unexpected character; The Daughter of the Demon herself;
