A fond look at Young Justice as we wonder what the future holds for DC Animation.
This would make perfect sense as the show certainly had the quality to last.
So let us bid farewell to an era as we look back atYoung Justice.
WhenYoung Justicebegan, fans were a bit wary about embracing a new DC Universe animated concept.
They never directly say its a sequel, but they never contradict the idea either.
In this new show, the spotlight fell on the young heroes of a DC Universe.
In DC, the legacies have already been established andYoung Justicepresented the latest line in these legacies.
Altruistic kids who were trying to live up to examples that thread back to before World War II.
These were complex characters with multi-layered motivations and personal struggles.
Yet, Young Justice showed, when handled with care and love, these legacies need not be complex.
Part of the dynamic ofYoung Justicewas seeing how these young heroes fit into the legacy framework of the DCU.
For example, Zatanna joinedYoung Justicein the second season.
When Zatara was forced to lose his identity and become the new Dr.
Fate, his legacy was abandoned.
Zatanna took up her fathers mantle and her entire character arc centered on her proving herself worthy.
All eras were open to exploration forYoung Justiceand it never got bogged down with needless complexity or fan service.
All of a sudden, audiences were in new and turbulent waters without a compass.
Again, the creators kept it open exactly what from TimmsJustice Leaguewas in continuity withYoung Justice.
What certainly continued was the reverence and respect Timm had for the characters and their universe.
