Don't confuse this show with Teen Titans or anything like that; yes there are adolescent teens in this show discovering their potential like many other great kids shows on the market, like Avatar, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, DragonBall, The Legend of Korra and so-forth, but Young Justice is like a spiritual sequel to the Justice League & Justice League Unlimited cartoons from the 2000s and more. This cartoon is super kick-ass stuff!
It's what superhero shows like Ultimate Spider-Man WANT to be, but struggle to find the right balance between entertainment and broadly appealing wisdom that kids and adults can enjoy in the same way. Young Justice masters that: it's got solid drama, nice splashes of humor throughout and of course some great action that shows this great team working some difficult stuff out.This superhero fest gets 4.5/5 stars.

When it was on for its first time,I always loved to wait till every Saturday morning.After it was cancelled,I was really sad,so I decided to see what happens if I watched the show a billion times on Netflix,but as I got older, I realized it was just a overrated show, and dc fans say it is way better than other shows made by dc that I loved to watch when I was a kid.And as I am almost 20, I have given up on this show.

This is a great show when we needed a real super hero show but unfortunately it was cut after 2 seasons. It was the only good super hero show when it came out and really after it was canceled after 2 seasons fans really want to see it come back on Netflix is the word and with Netflix bringing back shows and making them and movies they need to get this show back up and running so a season 3 and more can happen. So the shows plot is about the sidekicks of the main heroes of the DC comics like Batman, Flash and Green Arrow. It's a interesting look at superhero shows and is well acted and interesting and a shame it was cut short so if you want to see it come back ask Netflix and DC comics and watch on Netflix and buy it as well so they know we want more.

I had heard great things about this series, about its depth, its characterization, its humor and even its standing as one of the highest-rated animated series on IMDb, up there with masterpieces like "Avatar: The Legend of Aang". So, when I saw it available for streaming, even if it was just its first season, I decided I needed to check it out. The experience watching that first season... wasn't so good. I liked the way the characters were introduced and their general group dynamic, but things like Ms. Martian's grating catchphrase and overall too-childish humor, the lack of development to get to know some of the least-popular Justice League heroes (me not being an avid comic reader, I spent a few episodes wondering "just who/what IS Red Tornado, and why should we care?" before caving in to just googling him) and the arbitrary way of keeping some of The Team's members (usually the more useful ones for the specific mission) out of certain episodes all dampened my enjoyment.Then I had a chance to watch the second season and boy did my opinion change. The time leap had helped mature the original team members into much more capable, likable and interesting characters. The dynamic between the new members had become more solid than with the ones before, and the decision to put the bulk of the humor on a single character with better delivery than any other funnyman before him was the right one. The increased focus on the over-arching, season-long story and its fewer antagonists than on "mission of the week"-type narratives with too many villains. The brilliant way this narrative's many twists were handled (even if they weren't particularly difficult to guess beforehand). The events during the time gap, only mentioned in passing, as well as the JL's even more sparse appearances all help create an air of mythological mystery around these characters, an improvement over the simple question marks many of them were during the first season. These and other decisions made for a far more enjoyable and interesting story to watch than the first season had (though not without its weaknesses, some of the new Team members introduced in the second season do get badly shortchanged in regards to their on-screen origins, as do some of the older ones in regards to what they've been up to during the time-gap).I have decided to rate this series with an 8 as an average of my grades for both season. The first one seemed to me like a solid 7, a good introduction to an interesting world, with a lot of untapped potential and room for improvement. The second one, a definite 9, lots of improvement over the first, an imperfect but still wildly enjoyable story that really grabs you and keeps you watching. Considering the threads that were left hanging at the season/series end and how much it improved from one season to the next, I can't help but wonder what would have been if a third and maybe further seasons had been green-lighted. Maybe the third season would have been a perfect 10, but as it currently stands, it's no more than yet another of the great "what if"s of DC's history with adaptations, up there with George Miller's "Justice League: Mortal", Tim Burton's "Superman Lives" and others. However, unlike those, I still hold the tiniest bit of hope that we might yet see the return of "Young Justice". Fingers crossed.
