Young Justice Season 2: The New Blood.

[JasonTodd428]

I'm telling you, the reason they delayed the show is to keep DC Nation going. Because of the delay, both Young Justice and Green Lantern's seasons end when Beware the Batman and Teen Titans Go! start.

That may be but then maybe they should have announced that new episodes would start in January if that was going to be the plan all along instead of showing two episodes back in the fall and then putting it back on hiatus. They could have continued to air reruns during that time but instead CN decided to pull the hiatus card once again.

Smart alec replies to the side, I hope I'm wrong. I thought the earlier clips showed Static being active during the escape and I was thinking they must have altered his scenes.

[Mr. Holmes]

I definitely agree that they missed a huge opportunity by not doing this. Not saying that the stories / continuity has to match up, but with the way things are in season 2 of YJ it would be very easy to find a compromise.

Basically setup Young Justice as a Nightwing Team book, and then make Teen Titans be about a particular squad (tim and co.) in that organization. It's true that the NTT as they existed would still be gone, but it'd certainly be better than the batman lite we're currently getting.

The biggest thing YJ did that I think DC screwed up is that when they made replacements they still accounted for those being replaced. For instance, Wally West is no longer Kid Flash, but there's reason for that. Or how even if Garth isn't aqualad, he's still an atlantean sorcerer.

DC on the other hand is just out of sight out of mind.

Garth is showing up in Johns's Aquaman.

Wally is still tricky because DC didn't want to flush away all the development he had as Flash.

Never said what CN did was smart.

Is word of mouth from the show's own producer/headwriter still not enough to ease your worry?
Also those clips you saw are likely from the future episodes, most likely The Runaways one.

I was just using Garth as an example where they replaced a legacy character, in this case Aqualad, but still included the original as a character. Awesome that he's going to be in Aquaman though. Guess no word on a potential Kaldur appearance? I didn't like his characterization in brightest day, but I'd love to see him as an atlantean soldier.

And you say DC didnt' want to flush away all the development Wally had as Flash, but isn't that what they did, as well as flushing everything else about the character away?

But really I guess it all just comes down to character importance. YJ treats the legacies better because they are their main characters, while DC makes decisions at the "iconic" level which then trickle down to their various legacies.

[Mr. Holmes]

Yeah Johns took the YJ Aqualad and made him generic. Although I don't even care for the animated Kaldur at this point either.

I think YJ offered a good way to keep Garth without having to worry about Aqualad and legacy mantles, which is probably what affected Johns's decision to bring him back.

[Whip Whirlwind]

And I feel like you could take that approach with other legacy characters. Give them a status quo, some sort of role that explains their absence. IMO it appeases the fans somewhat and also fleshes out the universe.

I dunno, I just don't think I'll ever see the logic in DC's decision making when it comes to their MIA legacies. Wally is the most ridiculous though if only because he was successful in comics as well as animation.

Just the final decision being "Eh, we'll just ignore the character's existence completely until we figure out what to do with him" boggles the mind.

I do hope we can end up with a situation in the DCNU where we I guess have Kaldur/Jackson whatever he'll be called in the current universe if he gets reintroduced (and Id be surprised if he wasn't) as Aqualad and Garth as Tempest or something new, you know make everybody happy and use two characters that I quite like and both fairly recognizable.

And of course I would hope one of them doesn't get offed as shock bait to further the other, Garth's death in Blackest Night was pointless already, the Aqualad's don't need more of that nonsense.

Waited all this time for an episode I already saw. Jerks.

No because the show writer claimed that would be a spoiler. How is it a spoiler if we see him doing the things Static does. Last time I check no black male teen can fly on his own.
Look we see Icon & Rocket-if that is not Virgil O.Hawkins-somebody better explain why. This guy has been mistreated worst than Stephanie Brown.

So until he speaks and says his name is Virgil Hawkins and not Jefferson Pierce Junior. Henry Iron Steels, Jason Rusch, Victor Stone, Peter Ross, Keith Robert White, Jakeem Thunder, Isiah (from Dan Jurden's Teen Titans), John Stewart Jr, Phil Lamar, Michael Holt Jr or Dwayne McDuffie-I don't think it's him.

Juice/Black Vulcan could fly using his electrical powers. Not saying this character is Juice/Black Vulcan but it's in his power set.

The spoiler request is due to how Greg Weisman operates his site. Even if a character or information about a character has been publicly released Weisman does not give away anything about what occurs in future episodes (which Static falls under). For example even when it was very obvious that The Competitor was The Reach any questions that inferred so were treated as a spoiler request. Just because a character has been revealed in a trailer does not mean Weisman no longer considers the character non-spoiler information. All the episodes are already animated and recorded they literally cannot be changed.

Juice/Black Vulcan could fly using his electrical powers. Not saying this character is Juice/Black Vulcan but it's in his power set.

It is likely Static is fulfilling the Black Vulcan/Juice shout-out role along with the other pseudo-ethnic Superfriends/Minutemen abductee characters, but it is still going to Static.

I take it you haven't seen the new trailer?

Seriously, how many of those characters ever used their powers to fly on a saucer. I get being skeptical, but at some point people have to call a spade a spade.
