Young Justice (nov 26, 2010 – 14h 26min, may 1, 2024 y)
Description:
Young Justice is an American superhero animated television series developed by Brandon Vietti and Greg Weisman for Cartoon Network. Despite its title, it is not a direct adaptation of Peter David, Todd Dezago and Todd Nauck's Young Justice comic series, but rather an original story set in the DC Universe with a focus on teenage and young adult superheroes.[2][3]
The series follows the lives of teenage superheroes and sidekicks, namely Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Superboy, Red Arrow, Miss Martian, and Artemis, who are members of a fictional covert operation group referred to simply as 'the team' (but bear resemblance to the Teen Titans). Within the show, the team is a group of young heroes attached to the famous adult team, the Justice League, but operating outside of the bureaucracy that constrains the more established superhero team.[4][5] The main setting is a fictional universe apart from the previous DCAU and other continuities (designated at one point as Earth-16[4]) during a time period in which superheroes are a relatively recent phenomenon, and supervillains have all began working in tandem in a grand conspiracy on behalf of a cabal of key villains known as The Light.[6]
The series debuted with an hour-long special on November 26, 2010, with the airing of the first two episodes, "Independence Day" and "Fireworks".[7][8][9] Young Justice premiered on September 9, 2011, on Teletoon, in Canada.[10] After airing its second season, titled Young Justice: Invasion, the series was canceled alongside fellow DC Nation show Green Lantern: The Animated Series in the second quarter of 2013.
On November 7, 2016, Warner Bros. Animation announced that the series would be returning for a third season, titled Young Justice: Outsiders, which premiered on January 4, 2019, on DC Universe. On July 20, 2019, series creators Vietti and Weisman announced at San Diego Comic-Con that DC Universe had renewed the series for a fourth season.[11] On September 12, 2020, it was revealed that the fourth season would be titled Young Justice: Phantoms;[12] "The Prize", an audio play that takes place between the events of the third and fourth seasons, was performed on DC FanDome on the same day.[13] In September 2020, it was announced Young Justice would be moving to HBO Max;[14][15] The first two episodes of the fourth season were released on October 16, 2021, on HBO Max.
