Dammit, Cartoon Network. Dammit.
DC Comics has put together a pretty solid list of episodes for their top ten Young Justice episodes of all time for the far too short-lived series that aired irregularly and erratically on Cartoon Network a few years ago. DC Comics used to have a few shows running on the network and it made sense since both are owned under the Warner Bros. umbrella, but Cartoon Network tended to give shows that they didn’t have direct ownership in the short end of the stick. And this series with its two main seasons suffered a lot from poor scheduling, minimal advertising and more. That said, we heartily recommend both shows as some great serialized storytelling that completely embraced complex stories and characters.
Plot concept: A lot can change in five years, as our super heroes are about to find out. And there’s some new residents to be found at Mount Justice: new team leader Nightwing, Wondergirl, Blue Beetle, Batgirl, Bumblebee and Beast Boy. Young Justice will need all the help it can get as an alien presence has infiltrated Earth, while certain members of the Justice League are forced to stand trial at the criminal hearing off-world. Watch as The Reach, spearheaded by the quick-talking Ambassador and backed by the muscle of Black Beetle, manipulates a trusting public while maintaining its shadowy maneuvering with The Light. So report in for an epic 20-Episode adventure, as the risks have never been greater and the conflicts never so far-reaching. The epic finale will shatter everything you know!
