Young Justice

[Legato]

Well, that was my point. The "he doesn't have the resources the bad guys have" argument doesn't wash because he has access to unlimited resources. He hasn't figured out what they're up to simply because they've outmaneuvered him.

It's actually refreshing. Batman's good an all but I like it when, if handled well, we see a villain that has managed to outsmart Batman instead of Batman always being two steps ahead of someone

How many episodes remain for the season?

[Mr. Holmes]

The season is over. Season 2 starts next week.

They made a little game to promote season 2. It more or less confirms Mal Duncan as a member of the team.

Just reposting some info that Free-Man posted in the Young Justice thread on the DC Universe section of the forums. Thought it might be interesting to some.

I'm loving this show and salivating for more, but I can't help but wonder why they even bother organizing it into "seasons" the way they do.

It seems to me that ever since Battlestar Galactica, it's become fashionable for TV studios to arbitrarily take a 6-to-12-month break in the middle of a "season". BSG is the world's worst offender, but Doctor Who, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and Young Justice are doing much the same.

YJ aired 9 episodes, took a six-month break, aired 9 more, took a four-month break, aired 8 more, then slid right into "Season Two" without so much as a breath of fresh air.

I don't get it.

So, does this mean we won't get a year to year and half delay during the season?

Probably not. This last delay was to tie into the whole DC Nation block. They wanted enough GL episodes and the shorts in the can, to make it work.

Because it gives them more time to have episodes in the can. With "Doctor Who", that's the standard practice of BBC shows. Effects driven shows like BSG, need time to complete those effects. A single 2D show takes nine months to produce and unless they outsource to multiple studios, it will take a while to get enough in the can. "Batman: The Animated Series" did that which is why they had 55 episodes done when it first aired. In the 80's, "Transformers" had Toei do season one, most of season two and part of season three, while Akom and a couple of others did a couple of episodes here and there. But the animation quality varied with lots of errors throughout. But they were able to have episodes over a four to five month period, then nine months off.

Well, as Greg Weisman said the producers of the shows don't decide on the airing schedule, that is up to the network heads.

Hopefully we wont get another hiatus. Don't want that to end up getting cancelled like Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Cassie and Beast Boy like stupid to me, hopefully this isn't their normal costume/look. Blue Beetle and Superboy look alright.

at least they can spell....

but seriously, that is very similar to her second YJ look (in the comics)

Batman may have equal resources, but he has a vastly larger work load. If Joker's attacking Gotham, Poison Ivy starting a riot, etc, Batman has to take care of that first. Luthor can pick his battles, Batman can't.

And unlike say, Ras who has a league of hired killers, virtually all of Batman's crime fighting resources run through him and Robin. So yeah, he's at something of a disadvantage

A combination of factors, including when they had the episodes completed, the summer (when no kid is apparently home on Friday nights), and this new "DC Nation" block the show was drafted to anchor.

[Mr. Holmes]

Beast Boy looks like he's half-transformed into a monkey. I actually kind of like it.

I love that Wonder Girl looks like her Young Justice counterpart. I wish the comics would go this route.
