Young Justice producers Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under the Red Hood) and Greg Weisman (Gargoyles) revealed the following to 109 at NYCC..

Greg Weisman: We're adapting Teen Titans, we're adapting Young Justice, we're adapting the whole DC Universe. We're set on Earth 16 in the DC multiverse and we're sort of making ours a young universe. Superman's only been around 10 years, the Justice League's only been around three or four years. Robin's been around four years. The others have been doing it for even less time. Speedy for three, Kid Flash for two, Miss Martian hasn't done it at all yet when our series starts. So we're keeping it young.



Brandon Vietti: It's a show about teenagers who happen to be superheroes [...] They're a cover ops unit, and that will have repercussions in their lives, with their mentors, their parents, all kinds of things [...] The villains we will see are Mr. Freeze, Icicle Junior, Killer Frost, Captain Cold, and Black Manta are the five that we're revealing, obviously there's a lot more.

GW: Last time I checked, we had over 150 DC heroes and villains in the show. We have a really small handful of original characters in the show. From the Justice League, the big three are Batman, who assigns them they're missions; Red Tornado, who is their den mother; and Black Canary is in charge of their training. The other characters include their individual mentors (like Superman and Martian Manhunter), other heroes like Guardian and Speedy, and the Justice League, whose line-up includes Wonder Woman, Captain Atom, Captain Marvel, Zatara, Hawkwoman, and others. We have a 16 member Justice League. [...]


Well, they really like their icy villains don't they? A preview of Young Justice will run November 2011 on Cartoon Network and the series will officially debut Spring 2011. Io9 also have some news on the upcoming Green Lantern Animated Series, but I'm not sure it's anything we haven't covered before. Click the link below to check it out for yourself.

Here is a video interview, and first look at the show.

First the series was going to premiere in October, then it was November, then they said the special would air in November and the series would air in early 2011.I was thinking January.Now they say it will air in the spring.So we're looking at a March/April debut.5 more months.

So 16 members but they only show 15. The only person I see missing is wonder woman. This show looks fantastic.

That looks pretty good. while I liked the Teen Titan from a few years ago, this looks leaps and bounds above.

this kinda old news. They mentioned it way back in SDCC. I still think a world without Zatanna is a crime..but I will still see it at some point

this show is not fully for kids, the creators said in a previous interview that some of the main characters will die.

"I still think a world without Zatanna is a crime..but I will still see it at some point"

Someone asked at NYCC why they chose Zatara in stead of Zatanna and they said the answer will become obvious about halfway through the season.

"wonder woman must've been taking that league picture... "

That must be old, because if you look at the ComicCon video from a few months ago, she is up there between Bat6man and Flash.

I have to say that DC's artwork is always several steps above Marvel's.

This show is a dream come true for me! After JLU(BEST cartoon ever) went off, I was a little drained for a DCU cartoon.

BTW,that Aqualad is NOT supposed to be Garth,it's the new one featured in The Brightest Day comic.
AshleyWilliams
AshleyWilliams - 10/12/2010, 6:26 PM
I cant watch this video,my computer sucks. Does it say that he's Garth?

jazzman - 10/12/2010, 6:26 PM

I wonder how many people realize that the new Aqualad in the comics is based off the one in the show and not vice-versa. Hm......

I hate shows about teenager superheroes. Even when i was a kid I hated things like Teen Titans and the like. Having said that the 2 things that I like about this upcoming show and that look promising is that

a) It seems there will be a heavy dose of the real justice leaguers mentoring the young ones, which means more screen time for the heroes we actually want to see...hopefully

b) the animation is great. Looks even better than the animation from the classic Superman/Batman: TAS and Justice League and Justice League Unlimited from the 90s to the early 2000s...Those were the best shows and I still don't get why they cancelled them, I thought they were really popular....They were the best superhero adaptations ever.
