Although, thanks to Mary suggesting I cosplay Misfit at D*Con last year, I'm now a fan of "Birds of Prey" and starting to read a little "Secret Six".

So... Updates on the Young Justice cartoon.
Cut for length )

A few of you might recall me making this post a few months ago.

OMG-OMG-OMG
YOU GUYS!
It's Young Justice!
Not 'Justice'! It's 'just us'. Adults never listen.

Okay. For serious. Rumor mill hit the streets a few months ago when Arrowette & Aqualad's designs were accidentally leaked by voice-acting candidates. Today, the announcement was officially made by CN and DC. Cartoon Network will be having a Young Justice cartoon.

Cartoon Network provided the following description of the series:
"Young Justice: In Young Justice, being a teenager means proving yourself over and over—to peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself. But what if you're not just a normal teenager? What if you're a teenage super hero? Are you ready to join the ranks of the great heroes and prove you're worthy of the Justice League? That's exactly what the members of Young Justice—Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis—will find out: whether they have what it takes to be a proven hero?

This all-new series is produced by Warner Bros. Animation and based upon characters from DC Comics. Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) is the executive producer. Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under the Red Hood, Superman Doomsday, The Batman) and Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, The Spectacular Spider-Man, W.I.T.C.H.) are the producers.
" [Edited for better readability by s8.org/Greg W.]


NOW. As long as that red-haired and green-eyed Kid Flash is Bart Allen combined with lack of research, I'll be a happy camper.

Until proven otherwise, I will believe:
1. That Robin is Tim Drake. That is Tim's color scheme, and no other Robin would chill with Kon-El.
2. Artemis is a re-name of Arrowette, a.k.a. Cissie King-Jones.

EDIT:
An update from Greg W. himself (the man who gives me confidence the show will kick ass) via Ask Greg on s8.org:

" We're hard at work on the 26-episode first season. Got a great writing staff in place, and the designs look phenomenal. I really think the series will kick some major ass!

And that's about all I'm allowed to say right now...

Yes, I have a gallery of image macros at my disposal.


P.S. CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!

- Bart, Young Justice: Special #1

You guys know that I absolutely adore Young Justice and (more specifically) Impulse, right? It was the most fun DC Comics has had with a series in ages.

So when a DA friend, Aeolus06 shared a link this morning, I was overjoyed.

Young Justice League Animated Series on the Horizon? [Newsarama.com]

Apparently, a voice actress leaked a part she was recording for a new DC animated series in the works on her personal blog. The entry has since been taken down. :D Stephanie Lemelin blogged that she’s voicing Arrowette in an upcoming "Saturday morning cartoon" called Young Justice League. Oh yeah, she also posted an image of the character (seen at the Newsarama link) that she claimed was concept art for the series.

In a less-certain-sounding unidentified source, the starting cast has been listed as:
- Arrowette
- Impulse
- Superboy/Kon-El
- Nightwing
- Martian Girl
- Aqualad

Now, those last two were certainly never members of the team in the YJ comic (due to being a different generation set), and I hold onto the hope that some sort of name/TV licensing issue has them calling Tim!Robin Nightwing for this series. Which would give the Robin/Superboy/Impulse original founders of Young Justice thing. Anita Fite/Empress (Isn't her name just awesome? I-need-a-fight. XD) came into the comic later, so 'm not too worried about her inclusion yet. I just worry that the bat-family YJL member may not be Tim, and I see no Wonder Girl/Cassie Sandsmark or Secret listed there.

To get a feel for the original comic series, I have a bunch of quotes from the Impulse and Young Justice comics posted here.

I know this could turn out horrible, but I'm excited anyways.
