Young Justice Season 2: The New Blood.

[Punter23]

Where the heck has Roy/Red Arrow gone? Maybe him, Wally, Nightwing, Arsenal and maybe Zee to the mix to help the other three I guess

[Ood Omega]

Clone Roy is likely taking care of his baby daughter seeing as his baby momma is out for revenge for Artemis' death.

Good god give superboy a powerup already,he is getting beat by everybody left and right,its pathetic.blue beetle...really??

Fix his aging problem,which will let his human and kryptonian dna create a third unique strand that will give him his TTK.

stephens2177 you really need to give up hope for TTK Greg Weisman has outright stated he does not like TTK and that he and the production team like keeping him at Golden Age Superman level strength.

Also Superboy being beat by Blue Beetle is perfectly legit as Black Beetle was able to beat him (and the Team) in Before The Dawn and a scarab controlled Blue Beetle is equivalent in power/skill/strength to Black Beetle so logic follows that Blue Beetle can defeat Superboy as well.

Well weisman doesnt know whats best for SB then,and making him a punching bag for everybody and everything is disrespectful.

Ill just go with kon was low on oxygen and was a easy target because of that for the reason he got taken down....again ugh.

[MB99]

The Scarabs are extremely powerful. Black Beetle was able to solo the team and Blue Beetle was able to fight evenly with Black Beetle. It makes sense that Blue could also solo the team. Especially when they aren't expecting it.

There is no "best" for Superboy, people simply enjoy different versions. Weisman likes heroes that struggle more in combat (as evidenced in lower strength/durability levels of the characters compared to there comic counterparts). Superboy was really not a punching bag, he was defeated by a well timed surprise attack and had to take the hits of a panicking Arsenal from a an opponent, as MB99 reiterated, is equal in power to a previous opponent that him and the entire team down before.

The ending for this episode (actually the episode as a whole) really reminded me of Season 1's Homefront (episode 12 also written by Jon Weisman who wrote this episode as well). Team battles an extremely strong opponent(s) wins but at the very end is taken out by a surprise enemy from their ranks of allies. Very enjoyable episode all around and definitely seems like the beginnings of the endgame operations of the season (as future trailers have shown War World is sticking around for more episodes). Also the kiss between Wonder Girl and Arsenal was probably an homage to comic Arsenal's relationship with a different Wonder Girl (Donna Troy). Also I totally called it on Guardian's and Bumblebee's relationship problems simply being one of overdedication to work/career and high school nostalgia and not cheating.

Superboys been pretty consistent since episode 3 of season 1. Also seeing as he has the most screen time out of every character in this show I don't really see the complaints about him. He's probably the linchpin of this entire show at this point

[Galosengen]

Can't have a Weisman show without Keith David voicing at least one character.

Also how the hell is Roy gonna get off War World now?

Maybe this will be the plot point of episode 17 The Hunt, this the logline for it:

A band of misfits is put to the test when Lex Luthor sends them behind enemy lines… to rescue the team

So perhaps the runaways will be responsible for getting them off War World? (if the League can't?)

[Vic Vega]

'Wing's lost nearly all his troops.

All he has left now are Wally and Red Arrow. With Lagoon Boy laid up in the hospital.

Even assuming Sphere can find its way home, that probably isn't enough to launch a rescue mission.
Hopefully, that means we get to see Zatanna and Rocket again.

I quite like Superboy in the comic form but I must confess that it is understandable why they decided to remove the whole tactile telekinesis thing. It would have been a weird thing on the show... a clone of Superman and he has completely different powers? One would expect the clone to have either a similar to diminished powerset, not completely new ones added into the mix.

Veeeeeeeery nice touch on d romance btwn Mal/Guardian & Karen/Bumblebee....we/SZ really felt it.
