Spoilers of course.
I do love that PAD put in a Doctor Who shout-out in the most recent episode.
It is funny that Roy's so much older than Wally or Dick though.
I'm thinking there isn't one.

I managed to catch the season finale in a foreign language format and I can tell you that you will be surprised who the mole is. Warning, don't click if you don't want to be totally spoiled.
This is not my preferred blue beetle, but I'm enjoying the show.

That was odd, actually.
They are (thinking of maybe) doing a season 3? That would be awesome! I know that Freehold DM will be happy, if they do it right.
If they do make a season 3, I hope it's better than season 2.
Kids aren't stupid, but the needlessly convoluted plot, completely different cast with no character introduction (and barely any development) and removal of 1st season characters was a big step down from the 1st season... And IMO, a huge part of the reason of why it didn't attract the audience they were expecting.

I really do hope those Netflix Season 3 rumors are true cause it was a damn good show

I liked season 2 though I wish Blue Beetle wasn't the only new character who got development.
How did you know I was watching this show again?
Lagoon Boy got some development. I would have liked to see more Rocket and Icon and Outsiders though. My favorite was arsenal.
It attracted the audience they wanted. It got canned because WB needed to cover it's losses on the Green Lantern bomb.
I will never forgive Ryan Reynolds for what he has done.

Ryan Reynolds didn't write, direct, design, or edit the Green Lantern movie. It's so easy to blame the actors when there a lot more things going on behind the scenes. Just be glad we didn't get the Jack Black comedy version of Green Lantern.
Actually the show got cancelled because the toys weren't selling.

Are you sure? Because it's toys weren't selling very well, that means kids either weren't watching or simply didn't like the show... Which I can completely understand, seeing the mess that was season 2.
They were so focused on adding new characters to sell toys, that they didn't bother to give most of those characters any character.

That wasn't what you said. You said it was cancelled due to not attracting the audience they wanted. It's numbers were good and they were find with the demographics it pulled.
It was cancelled because WB wasn't spending money on television due to thr Green Lantern debacle so the money was coming from the toys which didn't sell so Matel cancelled the line and the funding went away.
I wonder how accurate that statement is... Why wouldn't the toys sell if there were enough people watching (and enjoying) the show?
The only character from 2nd season that actually got some development was Blue Beetle and Impulse... The other newcomers barely appeared onscreen.
And I'm pretty sure those characters were introduced to sell more toys... That's what motivates most cartoon shows these days.
Anyway... I liked the series... The first season as pretty great. The second one was... meh.

I fragging LOVED the second season.

I would have preferred the jack black comedy version. Because I'm not entirely sure that's not what we actually got.
The movie was awful. That reynolds is enjoying commercial success in another superhero gig is monstrously frustrating to me, he killed one movie so he could do the one he wanted to do, from my pov.
Because most of the people who watched the show didn't buy the toys. The ratings were fine but the show wasn't getting enough money from merchandise to continue production.

My only problem really with season 2 was the 5-year timeskip.
A lot of character development was lost mainly due to that, because at that point, The Team went from being a "family" to being a unit with interchangeable participants. That loss really hurt the second season more than anything else.
I didn't have a problem with Blue Beetle getting development; given the nature of his battle suit, that needed to happen. But others definitely could have used more screen time and therefore more development (Cassie, for one).
I fragging LOVED the second season.
I'm glad you did. I thought it was mediocre at best, but we all enjoy different things to different degrees.
Because most of the people who watched the show didn't buy the toys. The ratings were fine but the show wasn't getting enough money from merchandise to continue production.
Which means not many kids were watching (or enjoying) it. And as much as we grown ups can love cartoons, it's the younger audience they're looking for. They are the ones that spend (their parents') money on the merchandise.
But, to be fair... CN's airing schedule for the show was awful, so that certainly didn't help.
I would kill for a Season 3 of Young Justice.
I agree CN's airing schedule was horrible though that can be said for any good show they some how get.

a lot of that development was in the video game for Xbox 360, give it a play if you can it was supposed to explain the 5 year gap.

weird.
I had no problem with the airing schedule probably because I have a dvr.|

He's enjoying commercial success because a lot of other movies. Green Lanter bombed. Hard. It hurt him more than anyone else.
And your pov is very wrong.
After all he just acted. The fault lies with DC, WB, writers, producers and the director.

pah.
He was slated for Deadpool from the wolverine origins movie. Many people wondered how he would be able to do Deadpool when he was greenlight for green lantern, if you'll forgive the pun. Many suspected he would simply phone in his performance, but what we got was far, far worse. That he jokes about the gl movie in Deadpool is a clear indicator of where his loyalties lie. The movie failing, possibly intentionally, isn't going to hurt him when he already had a contract with marvel.

Hah! This sounds like a really cheesy conspiracy theory!
It's not like his acting is what killed the GL movie. That thing deserved to bomb! It was awful! Terrible writing, terrible effects, terrible everything! In fact, his acting is possibly among the least awful things in that movie.
And Deadpool is a 4th-wall breaking character known for his meta-humour. Of course he'd make fun of Reynolds' past works! Specially one as easy to make fun of as the GL movie! He also made fun of that horrible version of Deadpool present in the Wolverine movie.

There's also backstory in the comic book tie-in to the show.
I would kill for a Season 3 of Young Justice.Watch Season 2 on Netflix... the more views it gets, the greater the likelihood of Season 3 appearing there.
No killing necessary.
Oh boy, killing is now necessary: Season 3 is a go!
Yeah I can't wait, now if only W.i.t.c.h., Thundercats(2011), He-Man(2002), and the Green Lantern animated series would get a second chance as well.

Oh man, I'd forgotten W.i.t.c.h! It's like Winx Club, but good!

THUNDERCATS! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Thundercats 2011 was my favorite so far...
