Young Justice Creators Talk About Bringing Back the DC Comics Superhero Show for a Third Season. Nobody thought it could happen. Then it did. Back in October 2. Young Justice—the fan- favorite Cartoon Network series about DC’s teenage superheroes—would be coming back from the dead for a third season, and last week at San Diego Comic- Con, we talked to some of the show’s creators about what to expect. At a Comic- Con press roundtable, artistic director Phil Bourassa and producers/co- creators Brandon Vietti and Greg Weismann spoke with a group of journalists (including myself) about bringing the show back after a long hiatus. They also gave some insight into how they want Young Justice to grow into the future. It’s Alive! Two of the show’s principal creators discussed Young Justice’s improbable return. Brandon Vietti: I gotta think it’s a number of things . I myself don’t even know all the specifics. But, the fans were able to communicate their love for the show in such numbers—via social media, via streaming, via anything else they could do—that the Powers That Be could not deny that they needed to look into bringing our show back. So, undeniably, I think it’s the fans, and their ability to make their voices heard online in so many ways. That’s not something I think we had, even when we were on Cartoon Network, at the time. I think social media and streaming services, of course, have developed after Young Justice went off the air. But it was nice that fans could still continue to find us, continue to spread the word, continue to try petitions and various things to get us back, and to get Warner Bros.’ attention—and it worked. Phil Bourassa: I started on Young Justice in 2. So, we’re different people now. ![]() ![]() You work on different things. You introduce new stylistic flourishes. But this is still a superhero show. I’m always going to want to make sure that we stick that landing. On the Themes of Growing Up. Young Justice has always been a show about these younger characters and their relationships with their older mentors and parental figures. I asked Vietti if we’re still going to find the characters within the orbit of the older heroes or would season three be more about them evolving into their own identities. Vietti: Yeah, as a series, that’s always been the theme, and we’re not changing that for the third season at all. We’ll still have a heavy focus on our core characters that we came to know and love in the first two seasons, but our show has always been about those core characters growing up in a DC universe that itself is growing. So, we’re always introducing new characters. That’s—again—the “Young” part of Young Justice, that there’s always new generations coming up. For example, you’ve added Static, Spoiler, and Tracy- 1. Vietti: There you go. We have to keep introducing new characters to reflect the DC Universe as it is, and, again, bounce those characters off our core characters who have moved from a mentee position to a mentor position. And we give them new generations to deal with, to see how they’ve matured. How they’ve grown since the first . What we’ve released is that there is a meta- trafficking threat. And this is a natural progression from our first two seasons. When we got back together and started to figure out what we’re going to do for our third season, first we had to look back at what we had done in our first two. And from day one, we’d been dealing with the creation of Superboy. We’d been dealing with genetic experimentation, creating super powered people that could be used for weapons, . What can we do with that? How can we harvest that? ![]() My Popular Song Collections: These are my arrangements of popular songs. Not all were sequenced by me, but they were all arranged by myself. They are classified below. ![]() And use that for ourselves?”So, it’s been a common theme. This meta- gene is just out of the bottle. Nobody knew about it in the first season. We’ve progressed through our stories where . Second season, it breaks up and now we’ve got aliens coming. This is national news now. ![]() There’s nobody on the planet, probably, that doesn’t know what a meta- gene is at this point. That’s our starting point. It’s a very scary world that we’re starting off with in our third season where anybody could be kidnapped, experimented upon, and trafficked into some usage where people are being used as weapons for their superpowers. A Shock to the System. Static is a character fans have been waiting to come back in some form or fashion for years now. The long- gone Static Shock show is finally getting a new home video release but the Milestone Media universe, where the electrically powered hero first appeared, isn’t publishing new comics yet. I asked Bourassa and Vietti about how they’re approaching a character that people have been missing for so long. Sorry, Secret Wars. In the inarguably best comic news of the week, original co- publisher Derek. My introduction was more through the animated series that Warner Bros. So we were eager to bring him in and fold him into our second season and begin to tell his story. We know he was a fan favorite. So we wanted to find an important role for him to play, to push him into the forefront. And we had our runway characters that paid homage to Superfriends and the characters . We worked him into that, along with those homages to characters I grew up with. As fans ourselves, we’re very interested in pleasing the fans and the audience, and paying attention to what they want. So, that was a conscious choice for us. Let’s talk about your visual interpretation of him. He’s had two or three major looks in the comics, but his look in Young Justice is decidedly different. Did you go through different iterations to wind up here? Bourassa: I didn’t go through them. I started on Static Shock. That was my first animation gig. Long story short, an executive from Warner Bros. He was like, “this dude is nice” and he gave me a shot as a character designer. I have a great affection for that character. That’s where I started. So, when we did Virgil in season two, he was a runaway. He was one of that group. And so I just gave him civvies. He had a very mid- . And the last thing I drew in the second season was the Static logo, and then I was done. So coming back to season three—I don’t want to spoil too much, but we have a lot of characters in it. Maybe I’ll find it through his evolution in our show or at some other point? But for now, it didn’t feel like he needed to go full superhero. So it’s just an evolution on his personal style, street fashion, whatever. He’s proudly wearing a Static symbol at this point. And as you guys know, in Young Justice, these characters will evolve. We don’t know what’s coming down the line, but I would love to keep evolving that character. The Unseen Depth of the Young Justice Universe. There’s a whole history to the Earth- 1. Young Justice happens. Vietti said that Weisman keeps track of it all in painstaking detail, and Weisman elaborated on the series’ timeline. Vietti: . Greg in particular is extremely good at writing bibles and tracking timelines of characters. Once we decided that we actually wanted to track real time through the show, it became even more important to develop an actual timeline of birthdates for people and when various characters died, and how that might have impacted a certain person going forward as a reference point for story development. So, it’s an incredibly deep bible and we’re tracking everybody in the DC Universe. Greg’s office is the writer’s room, basically, and his office is wallpapered in three- to five- inch cards. I’m not kidding—wallpapered. And on those cards we have all of our characters that we’ve introduced, we have characters that we want to introduce, we have the cities that they live in, and we’re constantly aware of this DC Universe that is around us. What’s not on the wall, of course, is then some of the writing we’ve done together or the timelines that he’s created that tie all of those characters and locations together. And any time we bring in a new character, we have to look to the wall around us, we have to look to the timelines, we have to make sure that the intersections of any new characters we pull into the show work and make sense. We have to analyze if there are repercussions from bringing two characters together—. It is incredibly complicated. But I think this is.. So, while it is a lot of work for us to track, hopefully it pays off for people when you see it and you feel it in the show. Weisman: I think the farthest back . But it’s been built over time, and it’s based in the characters we’ve already used, or use in season three. I try not to tie our hands too much on things we haven’t addressed yet. So if we decide to tell the Krona story . He talked about that process and also said we’re likely to see mission- specific outfits, like the stealth- mode suits or the cold- weather variants from previous seasons. Bourassa: . It’s always an interesting challenge. It really depends on the character, the various iterations that we’ve seen in the past, and how long it’s been since they’ve been dusted off and given a new coat of paint, you know? I love the challenge—all of it. Sometimes the lesser known characters are the most fun because you have the most latitude. Nobody cares what you do. I always go back to Professor Ojo. Nobody cares about Professor Ojo. I think the only thing that Greg told me was, “as long as he has a mustache.” I was like, “Okay. Done.”There’s more pressure for the well- known characters, you know? It’s really hard to nail Wonder Woman and Superman because you’re going to mess up somebody’s favorite version no matter what you do. So I fail at that every time. But at the same time, the exploration is part of the fun, and you just have to do your best and make it work for the context of the new narrative that we’re trying to create, and be reverent of the themes of the character. And I think that collectively in this group, and definitely in other collaborators elsewhere, everybody loves the characters. We research it. We don’t take it lightly. The stuff that we showed today, all those characters are unmistakable. Tim Drake’s costume is a little more tricked out.
