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=''>
El productor Greg Weisman se ha mantenido activo en el Justicia Jóven Fandom, respondiendo preguntas aquí y allá, pero en última instancia, manteniendo mucha más información sobre "qué sucederá después", en secreto, ya que el sueño siempre ha sido producir una tercera temporada del programa. Ahora, parece que ese sueño se ha convertido en realidad, ¿y no estamos contentos de que no lo estropeó todo antes de que pudiera comenzar?
Weisman, junto con su productor original, Brandon Vietti, volverá al timón de la tercera temporada. No se ha anunciado si Justicia Jóven saldrá al aire en Cartoon Network como lo hizo anteriormente o si buscará un nuevo hogar en otro lugar. Las temporadas uno y dos están actualmente disponibles para transmisión en Netflix.
