Justice has prevailed!
[dropcap size=small]I[/dropcap]f there was ever a time to rejoice, the time would be now. After its cancellation three years ago, fans of all ages have been craving for more and going out of their way to display their affection. Rumors started almost about a year ago with whispers of its return and those rumors are true. Warner Bros. Animation has announced that Young Justice is returning for Season 3!
Production for all new episodes has already begun with producers Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under the Red Hood, Superman: Doomsday) and Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, The Spectacular Spider-Man) returning! For now, there are no details on where the new episodes will air and when it’ll premiere, but Warner Bros. Animation stated that more details were on the way. It also has been promised that Season 3 will have “new twists, turns and dangerous new threats for the team, but most importantly, the opportunity for fans to finally continue the adventures of some of their favorite Super Heroes.”
If you’ve never seen Young Justice, I recommend you go watch Seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix right now. The series won a primetime Emmy for Individual Achievement in Animation for Phillip Bousassa for the “Independence Day” episode in 2011.
“In Young Justice, the teenage Super Heroes of the DC Universe come of age in a world of super powers, Super-Villains and super secrets. Used strategically as the secret covert weapon of the Justice League, Nightwing, Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and a host of others strive to prove to their legendary mentors, as well as to themselves, that they have what it takes to be heroes.” -DC Comics
The outcry from fans after its cancellation did not go unnoticed either. “The affection that fans have had for Young Justice, and their rallying cry for more episodes, has always resonated with us,” said Sam Register, President, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Digital Series, in a statement “We are excited to bring the show back for this loyal fanbase and to provide an opportunity for new viewers to discover this excellent series.”
