Young Justice (dubbed Young Justice: Invasion for the second season of the series) is an Emmy Award winning American animated television series created by Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti for Cartoon Network. Despite its title, it is not a direct adaptation of Peter David, Todd Dezago and Todd Nauck's Young Justice comic series, but rather an adaptation of the entire DC Universe with a focus on young superheroes.[3][4] The series follows the lives of teenaged heroes and sidekicks who are members of a fictional covert operation group called the Team. The Team is essentially a young counterpart to the celebrity-level famous adult team, the Justice League.[5][6] The main setting is the fictional universe of Earth-16,[5] during a time period in which superheroes are a relatively recent phenomenon.[7] The series debuted with an hour long special on November 26, 2010 with the airing of the first two episodes, 'Independence Day' and 'Fireworks'.[8][9][10] Young Justice premiered on September 9, 2011 on Teletoon, in Canada.[11]

Plot

Young Justice focuses on the lives of a group of teenaged sidekicks and protégés attempting to establish themselves as proven superheroes as they deal with normal adolescent issues in their personal lives.[4][7]

Plot synopsis

Main article: List of Young Justice episodes

The show corresponds to the present time of our world, a time period Vietti has called "a new age of heroes".[7]

The pilot episode (later re-broadcast as the opening two episodes of season 1) aired a month prior to the debut of the regular series and introduced four characters: Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, and Speedy. It established their desire for greater recognition and respect, namely, a promotion from sidekicks to full-fledged superheroes. Met with opposition from their respective mentors in the Justice League, Batman, Aquaman, Flash, and Green Arrow, the protégés react in different ways. Speedy resigns from being Green Arrow's partner and begins calling himself Red Arrow. The others seek to persuade their mentors of their worth by secretly taking on a Justice League mission to investigate the Cadmus building. During their infiltration of Cadmus' headquarters, the three heroes find a clone of Superman named Superboy. After the discovery, the team finds out Cadmus is creating living weapons called Genomorphs. The episode deals with this revelation, the origin of Superboy, and how this relates to a mysterious group of people called the Light. In the end, Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, and Superboy negotiate with Batman to organize a covert operations team as a practical contrast to the Justice League, whose celebrity status makes it difficult to maintain secrecy or initiate stealth operations. After consulting with his colleagues, Batman establishes Young Justice in a secret cave located inside a former Justice League headquarters, Mount Justice, a hollowed-out mountain. Here the teens are trained and mentored by the Justice League. Miss Martian makes an appearance at the end of the episode and joins as the fifth member.

Continuity

Although Young Justice follows a continuity considerably different from that of the mainstream DC Universe, Weisman has stated that the series covers its early stages.[7] Earth-16 was chosen by DC Entertainment for the show because it was largely untapped, freeing the series and its franchise from established continuity restraints set by either the main DC Universe or other worlds in the Multiverse.[12][13]

There are differences in the line-up of this Young Justice team as compared to the team in the comic series of the same name. Dick Grayson and Wally West were chosen over Tim Drake and Bart Allen/Impulse.[14] Miss Martian was added because the date of her arrival to Earth could still fit in the early DC Universe concept.[3] Aqualad, as opposed to Robin, is established in the beginning as the leader of the team. Furthermore, the Aqualad presented in the show is an entirely new character created by Weisman and Vietti, with Bourassa responsible for the original character design.[15] Arrowette was replaced by Artemis[16] because of the producers' desire to focus on the latter's storylines.[17] Some of the Young Justice characters' ages are tweaked from those of their original counterparts;[6] however, the spirit and intent of the characters are said to be kept.[14]

Characters who are a part of the line-up in the comic will also make an appearance in the show. This includes Garth,[5][17] the first incarnation of Aqualad who later becomes the second Tempest in DC Comics; Arrowette,[5][17] the archer of the team in the Young Justice comic book series; and Wonder Girl, whose legal issues originally prohibited the producers from using the character[18] but later allowed her to be included.[17] In the show, Garth features as the best friend of Aqualad/Kaldur'ahm.[8]

Production

Conception and development

The series began development in March 2009,[4] when Sam Register, Executive Vice President of Creative Affairs of Warner Bros. Animation (also attached to executive produce),[19] wanted a show based on the concept of a cross between Teen Titans and Young Justice series of comics, but was not solely an adaptation of one or the other.[3] The title chosen for the show by Register was Young Justice,[4] as it was appropriately meaningful to the concept the creative team was looking for.[20] Greg Weisman, whom Register sought immediately after the cancellation of The Spectacular Spider-Man animated television series, and Brandon Vietti, whose work in directing a DC Universe Animated original movie Batman: Under the Red Hood Register particularly noted, were hired to produce.[21] Register jokingly described the two as being similar in appearance, in addition to being similar in thought.[5] Peter David, who penned a majority of the comic book issues of Young Justice, was approached to write several episodes.[22] Also attached to write are Greg Weisman, Kevin Hopps, Andrew Robinson, Nicole Dubuc, Jon Weisman, and Tom Pugsley—with Vietti heavily involved in the book writing process.[23]

The result of the collaboration of Weisman and Vietti was a show about young heroes based on a combination of the 1960s Teen Titans run and the 1990s Young Justice run, in addition to the recent Teen Titans and Young Justice comics, and revolved around the theme of secrets and lies.[3][14] In drawing material from a variety of comic book sources, the creative team sought to differentiate the tone of the show from that of the Teen Titans animated television series, which the team believed resembled the tone of the Young Justice series of comics rather than that of Marv Wolfman and George Pérez's New Teen Titans series it was based on.[20] The concept of a covert operations team has been compared to Impossible Missions Force, a fictional independent espionage agency in the Mission: Impossible series.[4] Together, Weisman and Vietti came up with ideas, characters, and plot points for at least two seasons, although it is unknown as to how many season runs DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation are looking for the series.[3] Although there were several characters the producers were not allowed to use in the first season (a list that has become shorter along the course of the development), they were usually in charge of the decisions determining which DC Universe character would or would not be used.[24] Geoff Johns, Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment, and Phil Bourassa, lead character designer for the show, also played a role in the conception and development process.[3]

Design

The producers intended to create costumes based in reality to match the tone of the series while keeping consistent with traditional DC Universe continuity.[25] A majority of the art direction was led by Vietti, who established that the costume designs should not only reflect the physical needs of the wearer, but also his or her personality, with Bourassa incorporating these ideas into his designs.[25] In the case of Kid Flash's suit, for instance, the padding serves to reduce the force of impact experienced during skids and collisions, and the leathery texture stabilizes his "human cannonball" momentum.[25]

Vietti cites the differences between the respective costumes of Aqualad and Robin to best illustrate what he calls "unique tailoring". Aqualad's costume is designed for the purposes of quick movement in water, and is composed of a "slick and textureless material", giving the costume its "nearly seamless and shiny" appearance. Robin's costume provides bodily protection (even against bullets) in the streets of Gotham City, and is padded and stitched with seams and sewn-in materials.[25] Batman's batsuit matches the extra stitching lines of Robin's outfit for similar functions, except that the batsuit is more military in style whereas Robin's costume is additionally influenced by athletic outfits to match his youthful energy.[25]

Animation

MOI Animation, Inc. animates Young Justice.[26] Warner Bros. subcontracted production to the international studio located in Seoul, South Korea. Artists at the U.S. animation studio in Los Angeles,[27] Warner Bros. Animation, draw storyboards; design new characters, backgrounds, and props; draw character and background layouts; and make animatics.[28] The overseas studio, MOI Animation, Inc., draws the key animation and inbetweens.[27][28] However, Greg Weisman notes that some storyboards are done in Seoul.[27] In the final stages, ink and paint and editing are done by Warner Bros. Animation.[29][28]

Characters

The initial six main characters were chosen by the producers, from a list of potential candidates of 50 to 60 DC Comics teenaged superheroes.[3] The criteria consisted of age, powers, personality, cultural icon status, and dynamics.[30] An additional regular, Zatanna, was introduced partway through the first season, and Rocket was added at the end of the season.[3]

"The Team" original members

  • Aqualad / Kaldur'ahm[6] (voiced by Khary Payton) – In Season 1, Kaldur 'Ahm (or "Kaldur" for short) was the sixteen-year-old leader of the team. His powers, channeled through the tattoos on his arms, are a mixture of Atlantean sorcery and science.[citation needed] He displays super strength, durability, as well as the ability to breathe and speak underwater, typical of Atlanteans. He also possesses the ability to form hard water constructs through the use of his Atlantean water bearers and to generate electricity.[31] He was selected as the initial leader for the Team, but stated that he did not want to remain leader and wished to turn over leadership to Robin when he was ready, saying that it was his destiny to lead this team.[32] In Season 2 (set five years in the future), Aqualad is Nightwing's mole in his father Black Manta's organization in order to infiltrate the Light and discover who their partner is. His "defection" is based upon his being the son of Black Manta (which Aquaman covered up) as well as the death of Tula in an earlier Team mission. When Miss Martian fights Aqualad later, her psychic abilities caused her to learn about Aqualad and Tigress' true mission with the psychic attack leaving Aqualad in an apparently-catatonic state.
  • Nightwing / Robin / Dick Grayson (voiced by Jesse McCartney) - Known as Robin throughout Season 1; Grayson was, though only thirteen,[6] the most experienced member of the team.[7] He does not possess any superpowers, however, he is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, tactician, and a technological genius. He has a flippant personality, and can be heard laughing in combat or when sneaking up on villains in order to unnerve and startle them. He repeatedly plays with the English language, particularly with words which cease to function without prefixes, such as "disaster" ("aster"), "underwhelmed" ("whelmed"), and "distraught" ("traught"). Batman has forbidden Robin from revealing his secret identity to the team[33], though Kid Flash is aware of it. Robin acts as team leader when Aqualad is unable to. Aqualad sees Robin as reluctant to lead the team, feeling that he doesn't know enough. "Eventually he shows that he is a natural born leader. And that's just part of what you'll see from Dick Grayson".[34] In Season 2 (set five years later in the future), Dick has assumed the identity of Nightwing while Tim Drake has assumed the mantle of Robin. Nightwing remains on the team as their leader and trainer, assigning and participating in missions. Dick encourages Tim to have confidence in his leadership skills, but the latter is apprehensive about doing so.
  • Kid Flash / Wally West[5] (voiced by Jason Spisak) – During Season 1, Kid Flash is the team's sixteen-year-old speedster. He has enhanced speed,[33] although he has not fully mastered his abilities, often falling down while running at high speeds due to a misstep. Kid Flash cannot vibrate his molecules through solid objects like the Flash and gets a bloody nose if he attempts to.[33] He is a flirt, beginning with M'gann and extending to any woman he comes into contact with. Kid Flash and Robin know each other outside the team, even knowing each other's secret identities. Wally likes to collect souvenirs from the team's missions, such as T. O. Morrow's robotic eye and Cheshire's mask.[33][35] Ava Dordi, of the Palo Alto Voice notes that Jason Spisak "captures the Lighthearted essence of Kid Flash well".[36] In Season 2 (set five years in the future), Kid Flash has given up the superhero life and is in a relationship with Artemis with the two living and attending college together. Wally does however, assume the guise of Kid Flash once again during the crisis involving Neutron wherein he assists Impulse and the two Flashes (Jay Garrick and Barry Allen) with containing a major explosion. It is revealed that Wally was aware of Nightwing's plan to fake Artemis's death so she could be placed in deep cover alongside Aqualad.
  • Superboy / Conner Kent (voiced by Nolan North) – Superboy is introduced as a sixteen-week-old clone of Superman (later revealed to be a hybrid clone of Superman and Lex Luthor) created by Project Cadmus. Although he does not have all of Superman's abilities, he has super strength, invulnerability, enhanced hearing,[37] and later: infrared vision.[32] Lex Luthor later gave Superboy a set of patches which suppresses Superboy's human DNA, giving him his full Kryptonian abilities, similar to those of Superman's; however they only last for typically an hour, and his aggression increases as well. Superboy is typically sullen, ill-tempered, and hates being told what to do. His nonexistent relationship with Superman only adds to this anger. He becomes romantically involved with M'gann while under cover in Belle Reve.[38] Sometime between Season 1 and Season 2, Superboy ended their relationship due to in part to the fact he does not outwardly age, as well as M'gann using her telepathic powers to violently extract information from enemies; even more so, that she tried to tamper with his mind to make him try to forget that they had argued about it. Five years after the events of Season 1, Superboy has remained on with the Team and his formerly apprehensive relationship with Superman has greatly improved, with Superman now referring to him as a brother. Conner is more in control of his anger, resourceful and more familiar with alien technology. Greg Weisman notes that Nolan North provides "good separation" between the dual roles he portrays as Superman and Superboy.[39]
  • Miss Martian / M'gann M'orzz / Megan Morse[40] (voiced by Danica McKellar) – Miss Martian is Martian Manhunter's teenaged (by Martian standards, though she is in her 40's in earth years) niece,[20] as well as being an inexperienced superhero.[5] As a Martian, she has telekinesis, telepathy, and flight. Additionally, she can shape-shift to a limited extent. She has stated that she cannot become intangible as her uncle can, implying that this is an advanced skill; however, by Season 2 she had learned this power.[33] In later episodes, Martian Manhunter discovers that her raw abilities, particularly in terms of telepathy and mind control, are potentially greater than his own. She pilots her own bio-ship, which transports the team and can become camouflaged with the surrounding area. She is kind and optimistic, but has a naive streak born of having learned about life on Earth through television shows. In line with this, she makes regular use of the catchphrase "Hello, Megan!" when suddenly realizing something. She becomes romantically involved with Superboy while working undercover with him in Belle Reve. While it is revealed to the viewer in the episode "Image" that she is concealing her identity as a non-humanoid White Martian, she finally reveals her true form to the team in the episode Usual Suspects, though Superboy had known since they had mind-bonded in the past. Danica McKellar thinks her character is "Awesome. Like most of the characters on the show, she's dealing with two very different but coexisting aspects of her life: she's a superhero and also an insecure teenager, all at the same time."[41] Sometime in the five year lapse between Season 1 and Season 2, Superboy ended their romantic relationship because he does not outwardly age, as well as M'gann abusing her powers to get information from her enemies, rendering the victim in a comatose state, to the point where she's "no better than Psimon", and at some point attempted to make him forget he was upset. She has become more confident in her abilities and lost her naive streak. Garfield Logan (the current Beast Boy) from the episode "Image" has become her adopted brother after the death of his mother.
  • Artemis / Tigress / Artemis Crock[42] (voiced by Stephanie Lemelin) – Artemis was the team's fifteen-year-old archer.[5][43] Like Robin, she has no superpowers, but is very skilled with a bow and arrow. She is introduced as Green Arrow's "niece" but it is later revealed that this is not the case. Red Arrow, who knows she isn't, believes that there was good reason behind Batman and Green Arrow's decision to add her to the team, as well as their concealment of her real identity, and therefore agrees not reveal his suspicions about her to the rest of the group—but warns Artemis to not harm his friends. She is the daughter of the villain Sportsmaster and the now paraplegic ex-villain Huntress, as well as the sister of Cheshire.[44][45] In Season 2 (set five years in the future), she and Wally West (Kid Flash) left the superhero life, and are in a relationship, with the two living and attending college together. She returns to duty, only to subsequently fake her death so she can go undercover with Aqualad, adopting the identity Tigress, and apparently help him complete his long term mission.
  • Zatanna / Zatanna Zatara (voiced by Lacey Chabert) – The daughter of Justice League member Zatara, she first appears in "Humanity" and sporadically through the later episodes. She permanently moves into Mount Justice in the episode "Misplaced" after her father becomes the new Doctor Fate, and is an official member of the team. Her powers, like her father's, are magical, and like her father's, her spells are spoken in reverse order. Sometime during the five year lapse between Season 1 and Season 2 she has joined the Justice League.
  • Speedy / Red Arrow / Roy Harper (clone) (voiced by Crispin Freeman) – Red Arrow is the team's male archer. Like Robin and Artemis, he has no superpowers, but is very skilled with a bow and arrow. He is also the adopted son of Green Arrow. Originally Speedy, he left Green Arrow's side in "Independence Day" when he was told he was becoming an official Justice League member when he was still being treated as a sidekick and adopted the alias "Red Arrow". He refused to join the group in "Welcome to Happy Harbor." However, he still assisted the team such as in "Targets" and is convinced by Green Arrow to join the team in "Insecurity". In the episode "Usual Suspects," he becomes the first member of the Team to join the Justice League as a full member. However in "Auld Acquaintance", Harper is told by Vandal Savage that he is a Cadmus clone much like Superboy and was the "mole" implanted by the Light, while the real Roy Harper (missing his right arm from the elbow down) is in custody of the enemy. In Season 2, the clone is shown on the edge of a breakdown, still searching for the real Roy Harper. In the episode "Salvage", it is revealed that the cloned Roy married Cheshire and unknowingly fathered a daughter with her. She states that she is willing to help him find the real Roy so as to help the cloned Roy find some peace. Shortly after Roy and Cheshire flew to Tibet to find the real Roy Harper, they recover him and bring the real Roy back to America, who is now recovering in a hospital in Star City with the clone and Green Arrow watching over him. In "Satisfaction," the real Roy Harper recuperates where it was discovered that Lex Luthor was the one who removed part of Roy's arm in order to further the cloning process.
  • Rocket / Raquel Ervin (voiced by Kittie) – Straightforward and bold, if inexperienced, Rocket is the apprentice of the superhero Icon. She uses a piece of alien technology called an inertia belt, allowing her to store and manipulate kinetic energy. She generally uses this to fly and grant herself some super-strength and a personal force field. She joins the team in the episode "Usual Suspects", the same episode her mentor joins the Justice League. In the five years between Seasons 1 and 2, she has joined the Justice League and is engaged.

"The Team" subsequent members

  • Aquagirl / Tula (voiced by Cree Summer) - A student at Atlantis's Conservatory of Sorcery and Kaldur'ahm's former girlfriend. When Kaldur began spending more time on the surface world, Tula entered into a relationship with Garth. She joined the Team during the five years in between Seasons 1 and 2, but died on a mission, leaving Aqualad devastated. This event was used as a ruse for him to serve as the Team's mole to uncover the secrets of The Light's as-yet-unidentified partner.
  • Batgirl / Barbara Gordon (voiced by Alyson Stoner) – Originally a classmate of Dick's at the Gotham Academy. In the time between Seasons 1 and 2, she assumed the identity of Batgirl and became a member of the Team.
  • Beast Boy / Garfield Logan (voiced by Logan Grove) - In the Season 1 episode "Image," Garfield lives with his mother Marie who runs the Logan Reserve around the borders of Bialya and Qurac. In this episode, it is revealed that Marie Logan once starred in a television show called "Hello Megan!" that inspired Miss Martian's human guise and her catchphrase. Garfield is hurt when Queen Bee's jets attack and needs a blood transfusion to survive following him freeing the sick oryx and an injured wildebeest from the barn. Miss Martian changes her blood type to O negative in order to save Garfield's life. He is saved, but his blue eyes at the time turned green. Sometime before the events of Season 2, Garfield's skin turned green and he developed the ability to shape-shift into animals (ergo, the name Beast Boy) with his hero disguise having monkey-like features. In "Earthlings," it is revealed that Queen Bee caused the car accident that killed Garfield's mother.
  • Blue Beetle / Jaime Reyes (voiced by Eric Lopez) – Sometime during the five year lapse between Seasons 1 and 2, he joined the Team. A device called the Scarab is permanently attached to his spine, providing him a battle suit and advises him on what it feels is the best course of action in many situations. However, Jaime frequently ignores this advice as it is often aimed at violent solutions to problems and is seen at these times to be talking to himself. Superboy is currently the only person that knows that Jaime is talking to the scarab. The scarab is believed to be the last invention made by Ted Kord before the Light killed him, but it is revealed in the episode 'Before the Dawn' that its origins lie with the alien organisation known as the Reach, who seek to retrieve the scarab, which will kill Jaime. In the future, a Blue Beetle is shown to have enslaved the human race, which Impulse traveled back in time to prevent.
  • Bumblebee / Karen Beecher (voiced by Masasa Moyo) – A young scientist and girlfriend of Mal Duncan. She and Mal were classmates of Superboy and Miss Martian at Happy Harbor High School. Her suit acts as armor and imbues her with bee-themed powers including shrinking, and flight.
  • Lagoon Boy / La'gaan (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal) – A student at Atlantis' Conservatory of Sorcery. Sometime during the five year lapse between Seasons 1 and 2, he joined the Team. He and Miss Martian also became romantically involved. He is currently the prisoner of The Light, captured by Aqualad as a way to spare his life.
  • Robin / Tim Drake (voiced by Cameron Bowen) – The third person to adopt the Robin identity, after Dick Grayson (who has since become Nightwing), and Jason Todd (who is now deceased).[46]
  • Impulse / Bart Allen[47] (voiced by Jason Marsden) - A speedster from the future who is the grandson of the current Flash (Barry Allen). Bart is stern and determined to alter history to prevent the post-apocalyptic future from which he comes, but puts on a front as a cheerful and talkative youth to the heroes of 2016. He came to their time to avert a disaster by a future Neutron. Although Bart was able to cure Neutron, he pretended that he was unable to return to his own time which was still devastated from an as-yet-unknown event. It is revealed in 'Before the Dawn' that a Blue Beetle has enslaved the human race, an event that Bart is trying to change by keeping him out of the clutches of the Reach.
  • Speedy / Arsenal / Roy Harper (voiced by Crispin Freeman) – The real Roy Harper. Eight years before Season 2, it was revealed that Lex Luthor captured Speedy and amputated part of his right arm to create a clone that would serve as The Light's mole. Having fulfilled his purpose as a mole, The Light no longer had a use for him, prompting the clone to join The Team and find the original Roy Harper. However, during the five year transition between Seasons 1 and 2, everyone except the clone assumed The Light killed off the original. With the help of Cheshire, the original Roy Harper is found in Tibet; after recovery in "Satisfaction" and learns the whole truth behind the events of the two Seasons and recalls of dealing with Lex Luthor in his last mission, prompting him to take vengeance. Although the original Roy almost succeeds, Luthor anticipated this and outnumbers, and in exchange for his life, he gives him a mechanical arm. Roy accepts Lex Luthor's offer minutes later upon Green Arrow and Red Arrow's arrival and adopts the persona Arsenal.
  • Tempest / Garth[48] (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal) – Aqualad's best friend and a student at Atlantis's Conservatory of Sorcery. Garth assisted Kaldur and Aquaman against Ocean Master and was offered the chance to become Aqualad, but declined, while Kaldur accepted. Garth continued his studies in the Conservatory and later became a lover of Tula. He joined and left the Team during the time between Seasons 1 and 2, although he has yet to make an appearance in the second season.

Justice League

  • Atom / Ray Palmer (voiced by Jason Marsden) - A superhero who can grow and shrink in size. He joined the Justice League on December 30, 2010. Five years later, it is shown that Bumblebee has become his lab assistant.
  • Aquaman (voiced by Phil LaMarr) – Member and co-founder of the Justice League, and King of Atlantis. Aqualad served as his sidekick ever since he and Garth helped him defeat Ocean Master.
  • Batman / Bruce Wayne (voiced by Bruce Greenwood) – Batman is a member and co-founder of the Justice League, and the elected leader of the group. He gives out the missions for the Justice League and the Team. When Vandal Savage infected the Justice League with The Light's Starro-Tech, Batman is one of the six Justice League members to go missing for 16 hours. In an interview at Comic Con, Greenwood differentiates the portrayal of the Caped Crusader in Young Justice: "He's younger, more of a father figure. He's tough, but not as broken (as in Greenwood's previous portrayal of the character in Batman: Under the Red Hood)."[49]
  • Black Canary (voiced by Vanessa Marshall) – Trainer of the Team during Season 1. Series co-creator Greg Weisman has said Black Canary's role on the show was in part because she is his favorite character in the DC universe.[50]
  • Captain Atom (voiced by Michael T. Weiss) – Member of the Justice League. In Season 2 after the events of "Alienated," he seems to assume the role as leader of the Justice League while some of its members are away on Rimbor to get a fair trial.
  • Captain Marvel / Billy Batson (voiced by Rob Lowe in the first appearance, Chad Lowe in the third appearance; Robert Ochoa as Billy Batson) – Member of the Justice League and once served as the substitute den mother when Red Tornado was missing. Considered by IGN to be "the best superhero guest-voicing turn in some time. (Lowe) plays him like your goofy uncle (or little cousin?) who's trying way too hard to fit in with the cool kids. 'I'm really looking forward to hanging with you guys,' he blurts out with unabashed enthusiasm".[51] Weisman notes that the character "will be an important recurring character in the series, so this could ultimately involve multiple episodes for Lowe."[52] The character was voiced by Lowe's brother Chad Lowe, in later episodes.[53][54]
  • The Flash / Barry Allen (voiced by George Eads) – Member and co-founder of the Justice League. He is the uncle of Kid Flash (Wally West) who served as his sidekick, and grandfather of Impulse (Bart Allen).
  • Green Arrow (voiced by Alan Tudyk) – Member of the Justice League. He had Speedy as a sidekick and later Artemis.
  • Hawkman - A member of the Justice League.
  • Hawkwoman - Member of the Justice League and wife of Hawkman. When Vandal Savage infected the Justice League with The Light's Starro-Tech, Hawkwoman is one of the six Justice League members to be missing for 16 hours.
  • Icon (voiced by Tony Todd) – An alien superhero who joined the Justice League on December 30, 2010. Rocket is Icon's sidekick.
  • Martian Manhunter (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) – Member and co-founder of the Justice League, and uncle of Miss Martian. When Vandal Savage infected the Justice League with The Light's Starro-Tech, Martian Manhunter is one of the six Justice League members to go missing for 16 hours.
  • Plastic Man - A superhero with elastic powers who joined the Justice League on December 30, 2010.
  • Superman / Clark Kent (voiced by Nolan North) – Member and co-founder of the Justice League. His DNA was used with Lex Luthor's by Project Cadmus to help make Superboy. He was originally apprehensive to Superboy but in the five years since Season 1, Superman now considers Superboy to be his little brother and gave him a Kryptonian name, Kon-El. When Vandal Savage infected the Justice League with The Light's Starro-Tech, Superman is one of the six Justice League members to be missing for 16 hours.
  • Wonder Woman (voiced by Maggie Q) – Member and co-founder of the Justice League, and princess of the Amazons. When Vandal Savage infected the Justice League with The Light's Starro-Tech, Wonder Woman is one of the six Justice League members to be missing for 16 hours.
  • Zatara / Doctor Fate (voiced by Nolan North) – Member of the Justice League and father of Zatanna. He was the second substitute den mother when Red Tornado was missing. Due to Nabu (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) stating that the world would always need Doctor Fate, Zatara offers himself to become the new Doctor Fate in lieu of his daughter. His Doctor Fate persona was officially inducted into the Justice League on December 30, 2010. In the five years since Season One, Zatara is presumably still possessed by Nabu.

Villains

  • The Light – The primary antagonists of the Season 1 who plotted and engineered various events throughout the series. The group was conceived by Vandal Savage who isn't the leader, but rather the first among equals.[55] The identities of the leaders are known only to a very select group of individuals that work with them.[56]
    • Vandal Savage (voiced by Miguel Ferrer) – An immortal member of the Light. As mentioned above, he was the one who conceived the Light.
    • Ra's al Ghul (voiced by Oded Fehr) – Member of the Light and leader of the League of Shadows.
    • Lex Luthor (voiced by Mark Rolston) – Member of the Light, CEO of LexCorp, and archenemy of Superman. He played a part in the creation of Superboy by donating his DNA. Lex Luthor was also responsible for the real Roy Harper missing half of his right arm in order to further the cloning projects.

Comic series

Young Justice has an official tie-in comic book series outside the television broadcast, expanding on the show's coverage of the continuity.[65] It will be written by Greg Weisman and Kevin Hopps, who are a part of the show's writing team, with Mike Norton providing the art.[66] Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani will substitute in place of Weisman and Hopps for issues #1–6, due to the latter duo's conflicting schedule and workload.[66] Along with Brandon Vietti, Weisman and Hopps will still oversee the issues for the maintenance of continuity.[66] While children of all ages are said to be able to enjoy the series, it is specifically aimed at teenagers.[67]

The comic series largely takes place in-between the episodes of the show, and often expands upon events alluded to or mentioned in the series. For instance, issue No. 0 follows Kid Flash and Superboy as they attempt to kill time while the members of the Justice League set up Mount Justice for their arrival at the end of the pilot episode. In the episode "Welcome to Happy Harbor", Robin mentions that the Justice League had been forced to abandon their headquarters in Happy Harbor after its location was compromised by supervillains, which is revealed in issue No. 2 of the comic book series to have been orchestrated by the Joker. In addition, Baltazar and Aureliani confirmed that they were asked to introduce the Joker in the comic in order to set up his eventual appearance on the show.[68]

Geoff Johns on Aqualad

Geoff Johns took a liking to Kaldur'ahm as Aqualad,[15] who was consequently introduced to mainstream continuity altered in comic book issue No. 4 of Brightest Day as the second incarnation of the mantle. In Brightest Day, he is introduced as a teenager from New Mexico by the name of Jackson Hyde who is largely unaware of his Atlantean roots.[69] In addition to his design, many aspects of the new Aqualad's back-story had to be altered to fit within the established continuity of the DC Universe.

Video games

A video game based on the show called Young Justice: Legacy is set to release in 2013, for Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360.[70] The game is currently being developed by Little Orbit, and will feature 12 playable characters and 12 bosses.

Licensed merchandise

Additionally, several products based on the series have been licensed for release. Mattel will release lines of character action figures and accompanying playsets, among other toys and games.[71] In addition to toys for the six lead characters, figures of Cheshire, Icicle Jr., Black Canary, Batman, Aquaman, the Flash and Ra's al Ghul have been confirmed as well.[72] Starting March 13, 2011, McDonald's restaurants began featuring Young Justice toys in their Happy Meals. Figures include Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Superman, Batman, and the villains Captain Cold and Black Manta.

The Flaming C

On the program Conan, Conan O'Brien visited Bruce Timm during one of his segments and they developed a super hero named The Flaming C.[73] However, on several occasions, their original creation would be animated in preexisting sequences from Young Justice using the voice acting of whichever character Flaming C was placed over. These scenes were taken from "Fireworks",[74] "Welcome to Happy Harbor",[75] "Schooled",[76] and "Denial".[77]

Home media

Three volumes of four episodes each were individually released to cover the first half of the first season, and later sold together as a "fun-pack".[78] The remainder of the first season will be released as a single package with all 14 episodes.

Warner Brothers also released Volume 1 as part of the Justice League: 3-Pack Fun box set, which also includes the two-part Justice League episodes "The Brave and the Bold" and "Injustice For All", and the Justice League Unlimited episodes "For The Man Who Has Everything", "The Return", and "The Greatest Story Never Told".[79]
