One of THE best DC cartoons of all time, in my opinion., 15 February 2012
Author:
Tolly Maggs from United Kingdom
DC has always been well known for making fantastic children's cartoons
that can be aimed for the hardcore adult fans as-well, bringing nothing
but top-notch shows. However, in recent years, it seems that the
quality of DC cartoons have dropped. The two main shows that come to
mind are "The Batman", a terrible show which is clearly aimed at the
younger audience, and "Batman: The brave and bold", A decent cartoon
that isn't on par with classic DC cartoons.
However, this cartoon has brought back the best parts of the best DC
cartoons and combined them into one. The "Justice League" series was
fantastic, but as the series went on it was clear that each episode
focused on the development of particular characters (Especially in JL:
Unlimited) which did not have an ultimate affect in the series. episode
was a one-off that usually didn't require viewing of the previous or
next episode. Young Justice saw this, and tried to do something new.
Firstly, it made sure that the team stays small, like the early days of
the Justice League, so that it could make these characters actually
important to the plot lines. Secondly, it made each episode a one-off
adventure that tied to a single string plot that brought each episode
together. JL and JL:U did this a few times, but Young Justice has a
clear sense of what's happening in the plot, and what the characters
are going through. THIS is why I love Young Justice: it knows what it
is trying to do, and it makes you constantly want more.
The cartoon style is an updated version of the Justice League's
animation style, which shows both seriousness in the tone of the
storyline, and the professionalism of the series as a whole. Teen
Titans was a 'fun' series, but it was difficult sometimes to accept the
serious moments amidst the childish artwork. That's not so much a
complaint of Teen Titans, but I appreciate what Young Justice is doing
and I prefer it.
Voice work is fine, and the music works. Both are easily above par. I
actually think EVERY voice is great, even Batman's (even though I am a
die-hard Conroy fan, Bruce Greenwood gives a voice I would definitely
expect from Batman). There is one exception, though: I was not
impressed by the Joker's voice, or his character. I could see they were
trying to make him more "Sane", but that doesn't work, as the character
should be the definition of insanity. However, he only appears once,
and the other actors are really good.
If you look at my other reviews, you can see that I often give good
scores in my reviews. Let me clarify that I am not always giving full
marks to what I like, but I prefer to review great shows/movies which I
think deserve to be praised. This is definitely a show that deserves to
be praised, and I hope the show goes on to be very successful.
Bottom line: Fantastic. I would recommend to anyone, not just DC fans.

Better than Teen Titans, 29 December 2010
Author:
langsts21 from Sioux City, IA
This series has most of my favorite DC Comics characters whether it be from Young Justice or the Justice League. The show unlike Teen Titans' TV-Y7 rating is rated TV-PG which promises more mature themes and better action sequences. My favorite Young Justice member is Robin followed By Speedy. Robin is my favorite member because I'm a huge fan of the superheroes that Batman regularly teams up with and the super villains that he regularly fights. Not just the storyline is better than Teen Titans, so is the animation. The animation reminds me of the straight to DVD PG-13 movie Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths. The action, the comedy, the characters, and the animation are all top-notch.

DC got it right, 20 July 2011
Author:
polo2popa from United States
DC Universe finally got it right with this series; this is one animated series that I look forward to seeing the next episode. This is a more advanced and updated version of the comic book which I like a lot, and allowing the youngsters to go on covert missions learning how to be a team as they stumble through how to be heroes is a real watchable and enjoyable delight. Hopefully they won't stray too far from the storyline that they've set and allow us to see the progression of the cloned Super-Man Connor as well as Speedy or the Red Arrow, which will make this one of the best superhero action series since Super-Man and Batman. I think this will give other animators something to think about and will definitely put DC in the upper echelon rivaling the new Marvel series (TAWMH), keep up the good work.

'Independence Day' or 'All we want to do is save the world!', 27 November 2010
Author:
paperback_wizard from United States
There has been no lack of series about the young, troubled, and
super-powered set. Arguably, the very concept of the super-hero genre
has been called a teen power fantasy. The hero IS the teenager,
striking out at the world, righting wrongs in a way a kid never could.
And I can see that. I can also see the implications of that notion.
Because teens are sometimes scared of themselves. Scared of the new
thoughts and feelings they have, the older they get. Scared of the
changes in how they perceive themselves and how they see the world.
Why, even Robin has days when Batman seems like a weird control freak
rather than the beloved mentor who keeps Gotham City safe! There comes
a time when a young super-hero wants to venture out with his peers.
This is the core premise behind Young Justice, the latest series based
on DC Comics' vast and rich mythos of super-heroes. Heading the series
is Greg Weisman, perhaps best known for his work on the cult classic
Disney series "Gargoyles" and the highly popular "Spectacular
Spider-Man" animated series.
His strengths are character development, intelligent and complex
villains, and world-building. We get quite a lot of each in the first
episode.
The partners (do NOT call them "sidekicks") of the sixteen-member
strong Justice League are getting ready to take their first step into,
well, the Big League. Access to the Hall of Justice. Participation in
the missions that save the World, the Universe, All of Reality, etc.
But when the League does get an alert, they're left to pose for
tourists and stay put. How infuriating.
Why, it's almost enough to make them want to sneak out and investigate
a mysterious fire at a top secret genetic research facility! Which they
do…only to find that someone's after-school science project involves
cloning the most powerful hero on Earth, and transforming him into a
loyal, brainwashed slave. My, my, my… The banter is crisp and funny,
ranging from Robin's pondering on why people are always being over or
underwhelmed, yet one never hears about someone just being "whelmed",
to the classic bit about confusing codenames: Bystander #1: "Hey, look.
It's Speedy!" Bystander #2: "Oh. Is he the Flash's sidekick?" Bystander
#1: "No, he's Green Arrow's." Bystander #2: "…*…well, that makes NO
sense at ALL." Most of the episode sets up the cast dynamic. Speedy is
the hot-headed rebel. So rebellious, in fact, that he storms off in a
rage a mere eight minutes into the episode. Robin is the tech geek. Kid
Flash is the plucky comedy relief ™. Aqualad is the calm, natural
leader who always finds his center, despite increasing misgivings about
the world and his place in it. And Superboy is the freshly-minted son
Superman never knew he had…much to each other's mutual confusion and
anger.
I loved the usage of obscure characters from the DC mythos, such as
Blockbuster, the Golden Guardian and Dubbilex the DNAlien. I loved the
twist about the true goals of the eerie creatures being created by the
Big Bads.
The Big Bads themselves, an ominous unseen council of ominous known as
"The Light" managed to seem creepy and smart rather than cliché and
trite. Always a plus.
If I have a complaint about the pilot, it's that the female members of
them team were either absent entirely (Artemis won't join until episode
six) or only made a cameo in the coda (Miss Martian, the sweet-natured
niece of J'Onn J'Onzz, Manhunter From Mars). Hopefully they'll be given
a prominent role in the actual series.
All in all an exciting, witty, satisfying pilot. The scope of the
series looks ambitious, the animation budget seems to be sky high, and
the young heroes are now basically the Black Ops branch of the Justice
League! That's a notion as disturbing as it is awesome. I'm sure the
moral ambiguity will be addressed.
Count me in for the regular series, coming out January of next year.

It was the best!, 26 November 2010
Author:
jlmeyer01 from United States
I watch the show without any spoilers believe me you will not waste time watching this great new show. I watch the Justice League and Teen Titans. It seem to have the best of both worlds. My kids and I did not take our eyes off in till it was over and even then we saw it again. If every episode is a least half as good as the first one, this is going to turn out to be new best cartoon on Cartoon Network. There was great graphic, good voices and great story telling. So even you don't have kids check out this new cartoon it is more then worth your time. Well they telling me I have to type more lines. I already told you what I thought about this great new show. So there not really much else to say.

Second season picks up fast, 6 October 2012
Author:
magooford123 from United States
I've seen a couple of reviews that say the jump between the second season and the first is a huge mistake, and initially I would agree with those reviews. The team from the first season was the one I knew and loved, and for the first couple episodes, the decision seems to be a mistake. However, as they have fleshed out this seasons story line and developed these new characters, I have liked the series more and more. Impulse and Blue Beetle have turned into some of my favorite characters, and the plot twists throughout this season have been absolutely incredible. I know it might be hard to jump into the first few episodes of the second season, but if you give it a chance, you will enjoy it just as much of the first.

Teen Titans Meets Young Justice; For both Tweens and the Young at Heart, 11 October 2012
Author:
kronos_kronos from United States
This show is what Teen Titans should have been in the eyes of those who
did not appreciate it's anime meets Tex Avery style. This is aimed more
at both kids and adults rather than more squarely at kids like TT, The
Batman and Brave and the Bold were.
This is actually an adaptation of both Teen Titans and Young Justice
comics, mixing elements of both. Viewers complaining about this show
not having strict adherence to YJ comics just b/c of it's title cannot
seem to grasp this or lack the imagination to see this.
Like the Teen Titan series from 2003, Young Justice is also anime
inspired, but is a straight superhero action show and does not indulge
in the absurd elements of that show (i.e. no pint-sized cutesy standard
for the character designs), nor does it simplify its stories and
characters for young kids comprehension (a necessity in the 3
aforementioned shows being aimed at young children primarily.)

DC - This is the Series We Needed and the One We Need Right Now!, 2 January 2013
Author:
sayen_shin from Canada
Everything fits perfectly in this magical series. These days, if a
series shows quality, it is because it was taken seriously by high-
ranked people. I love the tone, the characters, the plot-line, the
themes, the secrets, the chemistry between many characters, the
relationship between Justice League (mentors) and Young Justice
(sidekicks), the way they make superheroes used to be forgettable now
memorable, etc. I absolutely didn't care about Superboy, Speedy, Blue
Beetle, etc., but now I really am interested and I think that is the
strength of this show.
The only tiny, small and little complaint I have concerns the music.
Actually, I love how it is played throughout each episode, but to make
it truly epic, it needs a better introduction or a standout song just
like ''The Batman'' (90s, ''Superman'' (90s) and both ''Justice
League'' and ''Justice League Unlimited'' : Tananan! Tananan!
Tananananan! ... Of course, it is only a personal opinion and it
certainly does not diminish the quality of this show.
I have watched the entire ''Young Justice'' season 1 and everything
that has aired of season 2 in the last four days and whaouh! I want
more and more and more. Whe I started watching season 2, I was utterly
surprised to see a 5 years jump from where season 1 left and CHUCK
NORRIS or GOD was I pleased! It truly is an intelligent move because it
allows to bring new young superheroes like Blue Beetle or Impulse, etc.
I am 20 years old and this show certainly is for young teenagers and
young adults and even adults. Many theme are for mature people, with
life and death decisions.
I can't believe how great the animation is, almost as great as every
single DC animated movie they release each year, last one being ''The
Dark Knight Returns, Part 1''. I truly hope they'll continue this
series for many years to come because it is AMAZINGLY AWESOME! This
series take risks and it works just fine in my book. That is what keeps
it fresh. However, I hope they stay focus on the main characters they
developed in the first season, not making the same mistake of some
episodes of ''Justice League Unlimited''.
I can only give it a minimum of 9.5/10, but IMDb approximates, so to
me, it is a 10/10! If any of the designers see this review, I encourage
your awesome work and make you know that you have my total admiration.
I was searching for a good show and I found yours by total luck. I am
not very lucky in my life, but I think, that day, I totally was!
THANK YOU ;)

A great show that I would highly recommend to anyone, 1 February 2012
Author:
anonymousbrowneyedgirl from United Kingdom
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
WARNING FOR SPOILERS!!
Just watched this show from episodes 1-18 and can I just say that I
loved it! As a kid I would have watched Batman, Batman Beyond, Justice
League, Justice League Unlimited, Teen Titans and can I just say that
this show beats something like Teen Titans hands down.
The animation and art style is similar to Justice League: Crisis on Two
Earths. The series focuses on the sidekicks of comic book legends like
Superman, Batman, The Flash and many others.
For the beginning of the series we are introduced to four characters of
the soon to be arranged team, Robin, Superboy, Kid Flash and Aqualad,
Speedy does make an appearance in the first episode for only a short
time. I was actually surprised with some of the character changes, like
Drake Grayson replacing Tim Drake and Wally replacing Bart and some of
the other changes. What gives this show a plus is that it focuses on
each member, including future members like Artemis and Miss Martian and
how they work on becoming a team, it also shows that even though your a
hero's side kick or in Superboy's case, clone, that they, themselves
are developing and trying to get through some personal things as well
as learning how to work together and on who to trust.
there are also some relationships and turmoil within the group, Aqualad
the leader, is sometimes unsure on whether he should be leader or not
and waits for Robin to mature so that he could handover command,
Superboy at first seems to be going through some issues with his
"father", he and Miss Martian start forming a relationship and like
every couple go through some bumps on the road as well as maintaining
their work. KidFlash is comic relief although he shows to not be
totally useless since he has a good amount of scientific knowledge and
seems to have a soft spot for Artemis while the latter seems to have a
secret that she does not want everyone else knowing and the only ones
that seem to know are the older members, Speedy (Now known as Red
Arrow) and Robin seems to know.
There are Cameo appearances by the senior members of the Justice
League, as well as Barbra Gordan, Zatanna, Garth, Tula, etc.
However I have only watched up to episode 18 but so far I am enjoying
it and would recommend anyone who has seen previous DC Television shows
or read the comics to give this show a go.

Too awesome for words, 22 December 2012
Author:
Rectangular_businessman from Peru
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
"Young Justice" is simply one if the best animated shorts from the
recent years.
At first I thought it was going to be another anime-influenced series
like "Teen Titans". Fortunately, it was something much better than,
following the same tradition of other mature and well made animations
inspired in DC comics, like the "Batman", "Superman" and "Justice
League" series from the nineties.
"Young Justice" had a great script in every episode, is funny to watch,
has likable and interesting characters, and also has a great animation
with pretty cool designs, which combine modern and classic elements,
with excellent results.
In my opinion, this is a flawless series which I would recommend to
anyone.
10/10 (And I would give this 11 stars if I could)
