Young Justice, cancelled after only two seasons in 2013, is coming back for a third season. The animated DC superhero show, which focused on the young partners (“Don’t call us sidekicks!”) of Justice League members, aired on Cartoon Network from 2011-2013.
Members of the original team’s lineup included Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Superboy, Miss Martian, and Artemis, with Zatanna making a cameo or two. With Season Two, there were some alterations to the team roster, with Dick Grayson stepping up from Robin to his adult hero persona (Nightwing) and taking over the team, while Tim Drake -- the third person to hold the title of Robin -- joined the team along with Batgirl, Bumblebee, Wonder Girl, Beast Boy, Blue Beetle, and numerous other comic book favorites.
Despite a strong and passionate fanbase, the show was cancelled due to disappointing merchandise sales. This seems to have been more because of the type of merchandise being sold rather than a lack of interest. As the show was geared toward an older audience, the line of action figures and other such toys aimed at younger children probably wasn’t the best choice.
And who can forget Young Justice: Legacy, the tie-in video game which was pulled from two of the consoles (Wii and Wii U) it was originally supposed to be released for due to everything from ' quality='' issues'='' to='' lack='' of='' retailer='' interest.='' that='' ill-fated='' game='' quickly='' found='' its='' way='' into='' wal-mart='' bargin='' bins='' everywhere,='' which='' certainly='' didn't='' help='' the='' fate='' of='' the='' show='' and='' its='' merch='' sales.='' maybe='' this='' time='' around='' the='' merchandising='' will='' be='' more='' appropriate='' to='' their='' audience.='' or='' at='' least='' a='' better='' video='' game=''>
Il produttore Greg Weisman è rimasto attivo nel Giovane giustizia fandom, rispondendo alle domande qua e là, ma alla fine mantenendo molte ulteriori informazioni su "cosa succede dopo" top secret, come il sogno è sempre stato quello di produrre una terza stagione dello show. Ora, a quanto pare, quel sogno è diventato realtà - e non siamo contenti di non averlo rovinato tutto prima che potesse iniziare?
Weisman, insieme al collega produttore originale Brandon Vietti, tornerà alla timone della terza stagione. Non è stato annunciato se Giovane giustizia andrà in onda su Cartoon Network come in precedenza o se troverà una nuova casa altrove. Le stagioni 1 e 2 sono attualmente disponibili per lo streaming su Netflix.
