Re: Young Justice League Animated Series in the works
Bah, they show a repeat and it's a random episode from the end of the first season? They rename the show and they still show the first season? I don't want to pay 3 bucks just to watch episode 1... 
It did give me a chance to catch up, though.
Hey, an all girl-team episode, and an actual reason for it.
Loved Impulse, especially the fact that he's basically putting on the cheerful "tourist" persona.
I'm glad that they gave a reason for including Artemis on that mission, especially since she wasn't all that needed plus she was admittedly rusty. I also liked that Black Mantis's test for his son wasn't about harming his former teammates, but about being honest and not taking credit where it wasn't due. Also they explained in a clear way why Superboy and Miss Martian broke up.
What's up with Mal/Herald? Does he have superpowers, because I don't think I've seen him in costume (I missed the first episode) and at first I thought he was John Stewart out of costume (I know, I know, it's animation, ok? Everyone does kinda look alike...)
So the major dangling plot points:

If they cancel this show, I will fucking blow up Cartoon Network's office. This is the best animated superhero cartoon show since the original JLU and Batman:TAS.

It wouldn't surprise me if Young Justice only gets two seasons on air. These shows live and die by their toy sales, not how much the adult fans like them. Remember that Cartoon Network has that weird, futuristic Batman show coming up.

However, I don't think it's all about toy sales, since CN isn't getting a cut of the merchandise for these series (at least not that I know of). That's probably true of their original series, but not too sure about their licensed series. Green Lantern doesn't even have a toy series (probably due to the terrible movie toy tie ins).

I just got a DC Nation magazine with Young Justice on the cover with this month's Batman & Robin, if this show isn't coming back then they've god some oddly timed promotions.

Re: Young Justice League Animated Series in the works
The show's coming back. It's just taking a break for the summer. The rest of Season 2 is still being produced.
And here's the details for the comic book series:
SEASON TWO of YOUNG JUSTICE: INVASION
Episodes 201-207 have all aired. (How was "Depths" for a pre-hiatus cliffhanger? Not too shabby, huh?)
Episodes 208-210 are in the can.
Episode 211 has been edited and spotted for music and sound effects.
Episode 212 is being edited.
Episodes 213-218 are all overseas being animated.
Episodes 219-220 are also overseas being animated, but we have a few more color models here in Burbank left to complete and approve.

YOUNG JUSTICE COMIC BOOK
Issues 0-16 are all on the stands, available at comic book stores or online.
Issue 17 is done. I've already received my comp copies, and if you want a sneak peak this weekend, stop by my signing at Denver Comic Con. (More on this below.)
Issue 18 is being inked.
Issue 19 is being pencilled.
THEN, starting with Issue 20, the book changes titles to YOUNG JUSTICE: INVASION.
Issues 20-25 are a big story: a six issue mini-series within the series. About 95% of the content is split between December 1st of Season One and five years later on December 1st, JUST before the start of Season Two.
Issue 20 is scripted and ready for pencilling.
Issue 21 is being scripted now.
Issue 22-25 are all loosely plotted.

Re: Young Justice League Animated Series in the works
You know, when I first heard about the DC Nation block I thought DC was going to use it to promote their comics, especially the new 52. But they don't mention comics at all. At the very least I'd expect some promotion for the YJ comic book since it's written by one of the creators...

Re: Young Justice League Animated Series in the works
When? I DVR pretty much the entire block and I don't remember seeing it (admittedly I do skip over commercials, but I think I would stop to check out a comic book related one, especially because I'm on the watch for the shorts).

I've watched the last few episodes on-demand. I think the show is decent. I know it's on Weds, but what time? I don't think I see it in the primetime slot.

Re: Young Justice League Animated Series in the works
Thinking about it now, Cartoon Network might air that commercial at other times of the day. It has definitely been in heavy rotation on that channel and a few others like G4. I actually think the promo looks awful and I have no idea why someone that didn't already read comics would have any idea what is going on in it or want to check out what DC comics are about.

From what I have read at the ToonZone forums, New episodes of YJ and GL will start on Sept 29th.
So, Enjoy the outdoor summer fun and get yourself ready for plenty of indoor fall excitement.

Re: Young Justice League Animated Series in the works
Fantastic. I feel like such a lame being dismissive of this show when it was first announced. I really thought it was going to be similar to The Batman (which I can't say was horrible, I just know it wasn't for me), but Young Justice is one of my favorite shows on TV. Period.

Bump for the new episode.
I don't know anything about Red Arrow/Speedy/Roy, so I had to look up the Wikipedia article and it's cool to read about Arsenal. Enjoyable episode, although I could have done without the bridal shower scene.

So now we'll have red arrow and arsenal - and I'm sure luthor will hold leverage over arsenal for that arm.
