CCI: First Look At Animated <i>Young Justice</i>  
CBR’s coverage of Comic-Con International 2010 is brought to you by Star Wars Celebration 5 and the following sponsors:

 

With only minutes to go before the Batman: The Brave and the Bold presentation at Comic-Con International, Warner Bros. Animation has released a first look at the upcoming Cartoon Network series Young Justice.

In the video, producers Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti discuss the characters and the development of the series, and reveal — for all of those continuity sticklers out there — that it’s set in the present, but in “a young DC Universe.” “Superman showed up just 10 years ago,” Weisman says.

What’s more, he discloses that the Young Justice roster — Robin, Superboy, Kid Flash, Miss Martian, Artemis and Aqualad — is “really just the tip of the iceberg.” We’re given a glimpse of character sheets for Speedy/Red Arrow and a Justice League that’s “16 members strong.” The video shows footage of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow and Aquaman, and eagle-eyed viewers will also spot character sheets for Black Canary, Red Tornado, John Stewart, Captain Marvel, Zatarra, Hawkman, Hawkgirl and others.

    Wow. An ultra-sanitized show would be one where every character is white. I don't know what world you live in, but the one I live in is pretty much all over the map. So, a black Aqualad seems pretty cool to me and pretty realistic. And I have to say, it's pretty refreshing to hear black actors voice black characters.

    guys!it should be graysonn!!! eventually itll be a teen titans with nightwing!

  • Ashbaker1

    when does it start

  • JNYMRCO33

    look closely not mary marvel wondergirl!!!!!!!!!!

  • JNYMRCO33

    4 get it this video is clearer than the 1st 1 i saw….its Mary Oh well wishful thinking*

  • Dee

    Sweet, Can't wait. Just hope its a long running series. Justice League got canceled out of nowhere.

  • Flippinfrogz1211

    there might be- they said by the end of the first season, they'll have killed off at least one of them, and that there'll be a seventh and eigth regular. maybe wonder girl is one of them??

  • Flippinfrogz1211

    yea, same as the teen titans. they just had to end it with a lame movie xp. its like, could they get rid of the shows on cn that nobody watches or the stupid shows? seriously! the titans actually had a huge fanbase/audience. oh well. on the bright side, getting rid of the teen titans brought us this :)

  • Whatever 3337

    Ok… This is stupid, Dick Grayson was never in Young Justice and was already Nightwing by the time the group started. They just substituted two of the groups founding members with people who have their own team. I'm sorry but Dick Grayson and Wally West just don't belong here…

  • Tyleehyori

    well duh its tim drake because damians costumme is way different and so is drakes thats tim

  • Lukelighthouse

    Sorry, they're going with Dick Grayson. (I don't really see a problem with that, he is the best robin, seeing as he actually has taken over as Batman following his poorly timed death) They have to. Since this is just ten years into the justice league, batman still is training Grayson. If not, then you would probably see Nightwing somewhere in there. Also kid flash is wally west, so the current flash is Barry Allen. West is my fave though so no problems there.

    this is cool but bull$hit. why is it so hard to stick to the real thing..
    the only original character to the actual comic is superboy.
    i dont want Dick Grayson i want Tim Drake robin, i don’t want Wally West i want Bart Allen. i mean seriously they pulled of Tim Drake in Batman adventures, plus Superboy becomes best friends with Tim not Dick. i mean for one kids aren’t gonna care which Robin it is or Kid flash if its good they’ll watch it and love it.. but fans true comic fans your just doing what movies do taking something good a turning it to a joke.. the series might be awesome but your still killing us withe every show you’ll put out

  • wallywestfan

    But if it’s the Wally West Kid Flash, shouldn’t it be Dick?

  • elcid423

    When is this cartoon supposed to air?

  • Dickandwally

    Actully it is definatly Dick. They annouced it at Comic-Con

  • Dickandwally

    There is a one hour preview on November 26. 20 days from now. And then the rest of the show will air in 2011.

  • will

    dude it is dick grayson, they used him simply because he was the first incarnation of the character, so a larger fan base would know him

  • Iliass_nassibane

    it should be Dick Grayson as he is the original robin and was actually the longest running robin so far until he became nightwing after the teen titans arc.
    So he is the best option to go with.

  • Elderstephenson

    if it is Dick then the question is, will they try to eventually bring in Starfire? i hope not, they beat that to death in teen titans.

  • Elderstephenson

    wouldn’t it make more sence to bring in the robin that dies? they already said they’d be killing characters off. and since when does any DC show follow the actual story lines anyway? makes more sence to me to have 2 robins though the duration of the show, kill the first.

  • 123may

    If they run low on ideas, I have a few for them.

  • guest4534678

    Pretty crazy how this is coming on Cartoon Network this friday. Pretty stoked.

  • Archangel

    This is literally a reboot of the Teen Titans with almost the original team from not that sorry @$$ cartoon series that use to air on Cartoon Network but the original comic book. Original members were Robin (Dick Grayson), Kid Flash (Wally West), Speedy, Aqualad (caucasian kid from the Aquaman cartoon and comic book), and Wondergirl. I like the look of the series and glad they are using the same people who did the Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths movie. I was sick and tired of the standard DC artwork/animation from Batman and Superman animated series,Legion of Superheroes, and some of the animated movies done by Bruce Timm and the rest of the regular crew. Andrea Romano could have stayed on to continue her outstanding work with the voice actors and unfortunately most of the original voices cannot do the characters they are well known.

    I just watched the first movie thing, and I’m pretty mad that it’s Dick and not Tim. Don’t get my wrong, I love Richard, but the characterization screams Drake not Grayson, and i’d love to see a modern version of Tim (which this practically is) if the creators chose Dick, then why didn’t they keep his outfit?! Dick has no fashion sense, he’s suppose to go around like a traffic light, it’s Tim who wears red gold and black so wtf- it’d like they chose the character Dick, but chose his characterization like Tim’s. Plus Dick grew up as an acrobat so even if he’s not the leader he still kicks ass in flips and kicks, which this version lacks (this I’d more computer nerdy) so whywhywhy can’t he just be Tim!!?!? D: it’s not like they’re even using Dick’s character anyways :|
    Besides the whole wrong robin thing, this show looks pretty cool :/

  • Mjmulroney

    Dick Grayson is personally my favorite Robin. I wouldn’t change a thing about that. And YIKES, if one of the girls dies, it’ll be upsetting. They’re all pairing up, so one boy is gonna be devastated.

  • Airchairmaster

    If justice league still exists then why is kid flash wally… wasn’t it revealed in Justice league unlimited that The flash was wally…? im so confused..theres two?
