KnightWing Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Btw, is that Robin Tim? Because I wanna say it is. See, that's the thing. The interview says that it's a "young DC universe," where Superman only appeared about 10 years ago, and this Robin has already been in the hero business for 4 years. So it's possible that it could be Dick or Jason. I hope it's Tim, though. Also, Kid Flash looked a lot more like Bart in the first image, but here he looks a bit more like Wally. Could be either one at this point. But then on the other hand, we see there's an image of Speedy, both as "Speedy" and older as Arsenal, so perhaps there was a previous "young heroes" group? After all, it'd be weird to have Dick (or even Jason) be a kid while Roy is nearly an adult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Peter David has announced he's writing several episodes of Young Justice, the much-anticipated Cartoon Network series based on the DC Comics title he worked on for nearly five years. "I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to reconnect with the characters," he wrote this morning on his blog, "even if there are some differences between the guys I wrote and the new incarnation. I would love to tell you all about my first episode, but I’m afraid that it’s … oh, what’s the word … Secret. Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 http://www.ugo.com/tv/comic-con-2010-young-justice During the Batman: Brave And The Bold panel, creators Brandon Vietti and Greg Weissman got a chance to show off some character designs and footage from their upcoming animated series Young Justice, as well as dish on a few of the details. We saw the footage, whose animation style resembles previous animated DC efforts like Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, and takes a more grounded and realistic approach to the DC Universe. The Young Justice team will operate as something of an undercover unit designed to combat the increasinly efficient supervillains, as the Justice League's high profile prevents them from stopping more and more criminal Here's what they were willing to tell us: * 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) * SPOILER ALERT! In a twist, the creators have decided to name Black Manta as Aqualad's father! * Several cold-themed villains appeared in the footage, namely Captain Cold, Ice, and Icicle.

KnightWing Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Dick Grayson & Wally West? Nooooooooooooooo... - _ - It wouldn't bother me if it wasn't for the fact that they're using the younger characters like Connor Kent and Miss Martian alongside them. And Black Manta as Aquaman's father? That's a bit of a stretch. Still think it'll ultimately be great, though, even if it's screwing all crazy with the general DCU.

I agree, I would much prefer it to be Bart and Tim in the team, and Wally and Dick to be either JL or on their own. The Aqualad thing is coming right out of Brightest Day though. So, it's got Johns' approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YazzyDream Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Ugh, Dick. I have nothing against him, I mean, I love... RICHARD (HA! Almost got me.) But I'm kinda tired of him as Robin and really wanted to see Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Aqualad, dude. Aqualad. Oh. Well, facepalm-moment for me. Thanks. And that's actually really cool, then. I very much approve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Love how ambitious the character models and scope of this show are. No offence to Teen Titans but this is what this premise at its full potential can be, in a place where you don't mind throwing in the mentors. Weird that Dick is Tim, but then I think the Robin in this is only as old as Tim is now in the DCU, and he's not Robin any more. Plus its confusing to have generations of heroes like that, with Justice League, Titans and then the Teen Titans/Young Justice. Throw in the Justice Society and you'll lose a lot of people. This is already the most ambitious DC cartoon we've seen so far they can't take it too far. That being said, I really like the relationship between the Robins, its a really nice way of adding to the Bats/Tim relationship to some extent. Shame it won't be part of this.

KnightWing Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 There's also the fact that they're merging some of the original Titans with Young Justice and the current (younger) Titans, so it basically means that the Teen Titans don't exist at all in this continuity. Also, it's weird that Nightwing doesn't exist, seeing as how he was a really great "bridge" between the younger heroes and the Justice League in the comics. Now that he's seemingly younger than Conner, Wally, and Miss Martian, it's just.... ehhhhhhhhhhhh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Can't they just make a cartoon wihout people complaining about where it fits into continuity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Can't they just make a cartoon wihout people complaining about where it fits into continuity? No, it's not about continuity. It's just that there's certain things that were really great in the comics that they're changing, and I'm not entirely convinced that it's a good idea. Still psyched for the show, though. Should be great nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delete Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Still think it'll ultimately be great, though, even if it's screwing all crazy with the general DCU. Have they ever shown Earth-16 in the comics? Seems to me the picked a place no one has ever seen on purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Well, also- They revealed that someone would die in the show during the first season. Dick Grayson maybe? Or if they are willing to kill, maybe they are willing to revolve the roster a little more. Robin becomes Nightwing, Tim signs up as a hero with more comparable experience to the rest of the team.

KnightWing Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Earth-16 is the one with that bald, flame-eyed Superman with weird pschokinetic abilities. I think they might have gotten the number wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TFG1Mike Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm not to thrilled with what I've seen of this so far. Which obviously is very little. I think they've just taken the DCU film dtyle and put it on a TV series. I'll still keep an open mind for now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 The more I look at the image they posted of the Justice League I don't think the man with the cane is John Zatara. Between the prominent cane and top hat, I think it might be The Shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Does that look like Crisis on Two Earths-style to anyone else? They hired the same character designer because of his more "semi-realistic style." Also, WW is in there; they showed her in a preview video awhile back.

ShaunKL Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Just saw the "behind-the-scenes" video. Really bugs me that even after Teen Titans they're still drawing Richard like Tim. You can come up with an original design for Richard that's not the leotard guys! You just have to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 He's got a bit of Damian in his costume, too. They said the characters will age, so maybe Dick will actually look different in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunKL Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Putting him in as a 16 year-old, the only next logical costume evolution would be Nightwing IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'd more likely off Superboy or Barry Allen since both were killed in the comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
