Pictured in this article is the promotional poster for "Young Justice: Invasion", the working title for the Second Season of the animated television show, Young Justice. "Young Justice: Invasion" will be a 20-episode season long story that will start airing in late 2012, after the first season concludes with the airing of its 26th episode.
According to Brandon Vietti, writer and executive producer on the show, "Young Justice: Invasion" will be a 20-episode "novel" that follows the Team as the combat an alien invasion of Earth. While the core members of Aqualad, Superboy, Robin, Kid Flash, and Miss Martian are confirmed, other supporting characters are still a mystery.
Vietti also mentioned that there will be only 3 directors used in this season to help maintain the tightly knit storyline. If rumor proves true, this second season will have a "24" like feel as it will be told if not in real time, then in the course of a couple of days in the show's time, but will take months in ours unfortunately haha.
It seems that "Young Justice" has truly been earning its strips as far as popularity goes. While the show itself gets consistently high ratings, and already being confirmed for a second season, there are toys, statues, and even a video game in the works for the series. It seems that Young Justice is really coming into it's own.
So what do you guys think? How do you feel about the season long plot/story being told in "real time", telling of a season long invasion that will only be days to The Team? What do you think of how tightly knit they are planning to keep the season storylines and director choices? Are you excited to see something that no other cartoon has really ever done?
