After
the success that was "Teen Titans," it was only a matter
of time until the Cartoon Network in America decided to
re-tap the well that provided them with top ratings and
dive in to a famous title from the comic world. This
time around, Warner has tackled the "Young Justice"
brand, a title about the second tier young cohorts of DC
Comics titan elite and their efforts to prove themselves
to their elders. This time providing a sterner tone and
more defined animation styles, "Young Justice" is a
definite contender for breakout series of the DC label.
This is primarily because while the series has its basic
flaws, "Young Justice" accomplishes that "Teen Titans"
so confidently strived in being and dodges what "Legion
of Super Heroes" failed in providing audiences. Both of
which was a teen oriented science fiction epic that
offered well rounded and complex characters.
"Young
Justice" is thankfully not about the anime trappings,
but gladly surrounds the sharp animation from DC
Entertainment that fuels what is a tale about the under
dogs trying to prove they can save the world without
their elder league members, all of whom watch over them
with a keen eye and harsh scrutiny. With the voices of
folks like Bruce Greenwood, Alan Tudyk and Nolan North,
"Young Justice" is an engrossing and very exciting look
at the B team doing what they do best. Led by Superman
Prime (aka Superboy), a clone of the original Superman,
they take on the enemies that the Justice League often
can't and won't and "Young Justice" comes full circle
after the pilot movie where the team finds a bond as
sidekicks trying to become true heroes in the process of
learning the art of crime fighting and thwarting
ultimate evil. |
