Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Oh Yeah, That Forum: The Titans the other Teen Titans: YOUNG JUSTICE

say anyone seen the cartoon Young Justice? so far two episodes have been shown and so far I like it!!!!! How about you?

New Young Justice episode is finally out.

You can see it here. (and any other eps you've missed)

Barbara, Dick, Bette were in the "Homefront" episode....last week Mal, Bumblebee, Wendy, and Marvin were in the "......." episode which Superboy and Miss Martian were sent to infiltrate the gang of Ice villains.

interesting that Peter David wrote the episode where Harm and Secret appeared...alongside Zatanna....Wendy, Marvin, Mal and Karen also made the brief appearances..dressing up as super heroes at halloweens party.

Well, I finally read the conclusion of PAD's Young Justice run, and...

I thought I'd share this. Scroll down a bit for an awesome photo of PAD standing next to a group of YJ cosplayers:

Thank you for getting me into Young Justice, Lash.

Young Justice deserves nothing but love! Peter David did an excellent job. I just wish some of those characters had transitioned beyond the series - a lot of them were really cool!

Man, I'll never forget an issue (it might've been a crossover or 80-Page Giant) where couple of JSA members (I want to say it was Green Lantern and Flash) watching the YJ kids with Red Tornado doing something and being like, "I want to join Young Justice." "Me too." It was too cute!

Very well said, Cali.

I might have already said what I'm about to say in other thread, but I think it bears repeating: PAD's Young Justice run was, along with the first 18 months of the Postboot Legion, the closest I've ever seen to the anything-goes spirit of the Silver Age being rekindled.

I need to give Young Justice another go sometime. I read and quite enjoyed the first few issues but it only took me one bad issue to drop a comic back then, and that issue guest starring the terrible Bloodlines characters (Razorsharp and the Psyba Rats I think they were called) is what did it for me.

I also didn't really pay attention to writers back then so I think it was only much later that I realised that that issue wasn't written by the book's regular writer.

I think the thing that has really prevented me from returning to the book over the years is that I really don't (or didn't) like some of the main characters.

I used to really dislike Impulse, but eventually grew to appreciate the uniqueness of his goofy character as a breath of fresh air in the otherwise way too somber DCU (just in time for Geoff Johns to destroy it in his Teen Titans run :rolleyes: ).

But I have never liked Cassie Sandsmark Wonder Girl. So knowing that she's one of the main four characters in that whole series is a big obstacle.

Blacula, Cassie evolves a lot over the course of PAD's Young Justice run. TBH, I've only ever liked Cassie when PAD was the writer. Didn't like her per-PAD in Byrne's Wonder Woman, didn't like her post-PAD in Johns' Teen Titans.

I've said this for years, but they need to get PAD to do a Young Justice reunion miniseries to try and do damage control on the characters.

Unfortunately, that won't happen until the three-headed executive monster running DC has been kicked out into the street. It's no coincidence that PAD stopped working for DC right after the 2002 executive shift.

Buy it, borrow it, do anything short of stealing it, but if you've never had the Young Justice Experience, then do please read this:

Was Young Justice: The Secret that one-shot that came out before the series, written by the guy who was originally going to write the series?

Yes. It's actually quite good, but I don't like the way the writer (Todd DeZago) indirectly accused PAD of using his ideas in the Titans Companion 2 book. That sounded like sour grapes to me. PAD, like all of us, has many faults, but passing off someone else's ideas as his own is not one of them.

Earlier this morning, I spontaneously brainstormed a ton of ideas for a Young Justice continuation, if it were to pick up from where the PAD/Nauck series left off. In no particular order:

- Greta (formerly Secret) would remain a supporting cast member as she adjusts to being a normal child now. She'd be especially close to Cissie and Traya.

- Spoiler would deputize for Robin as team leader while he takes care of some personal issues.

- Empress would leave the team to concentrate full-time on raising her de-aged-to-infancy parents, but still make the occasional guest appearance.

- Wonder Girl would find out that the whole "Zeus is my real daddy" crap was a deception engineered by Circe.

- Impulse, who doesn't care anymore whether he lives or dies, would disappear into the Speed Force for an indefinite amount of time.

- New members, including The Ray's ex-JL teammate Gypsy (who renames herself -- I haven't decided on a name yet, but I've got...um...Camouflage as a placeholder,) Steel's niece Natasha Irons (as Mecha,) and Lagoon Boy.

- An adventure in space, guest-starring the Wonder Twins (who appeared, quite memorably, in YJ #50,) and having Snapper Carr confront an embarrassing part of his past when it turns out there really is a Star-Tsar, and, man, is he evil!

- And last (for the moment) but not least...SINS OF YOUTH 2: BABY BOOGALOO -- last time it was LOBO, this time it's MAXIMA's turn to get irreversibly de-aged (just don't call her "Maxie," 'cause she still packs a powerful punch!)

Check out my new avatar.

Don't recognize her? Shhh. Her identity is...SECRET.

Tee hee.

Bendis and Patrick Gleason are relaunching YJ... It's in this month's PREVIEWS.

Is Teen Lantern a new character? I thought I'd heard the name before.

"New legacy heroes" = derivative characters = probably no pennies from DC royalties programme.

I don't think there's ever actually been a character called "Teen Lantern", but the name has been around in Fandom for quite awhile. As I recall, there was a guy on the old DC Boards who was obsessed with the idea, and would post about it on various boards, including the Legion one, regularly.

Wow! I'd thought of Jordana, but had completely forgotten that she actually used that name!
