This is but a fraction of the diverse cast. |
It had fantastic writing, real emotionally driven characters who you really cared about. They delved into the deep history of the DC universe. From A-Z they showcased characters that had never graced our screens before, characters like 'Aqualad', a hero who was without a doubt one of the most interesting and multi-layered characters of the series. We also got Connor Kent,'Superboy', a hero that has graced the DC multi-verse for decades and has been a fan favourite for a very long time. It was this care to detail and love of the source material that really showed in each and every episode.
That's right, 'Static Shock' is there as well 'Beast Boy' and 'Blue Beetle'. Bitchin'. |
Three generations of 'The Flash', you get that nowhere else and that is why it has to come back. |
However there comes a time when studios and networks make decisions. They make gut wrenching, idiotic decisions based on the sales of a toy line, not based on the audience or popularity of the series itself. Cartoon Network decided that 'Young Justice' had run its course, two seasons was long enough for them and also they needed a new 'Batman' series because obviously he hasn't had enough exposure in the media, I mean sure he has had eight feature films, countless animated series and animated films and many more on the way but hey what is one more? We need innovation and more and more iterations of 'Batman' is going in the wrong direction. We need this series to return to our screens, it had the perfect balance of humour and drama, you cared for every character that graced the screen and the included every 'Robin' bar Damian, that's right, Jason is in it, granted he is dead but come on that is one of the defining features of his story.
I hope you have enjoyed my little rant and I also hope that you have a look at this series, and please don't watch 'Beware the Batman'. Seriously that''s what it is called, I know I say don't watch it but do what you want, for all we know it could be decent.
No Robin, and it is in CGI...... |
