Young Justice Cartoon - First Pic

This is old news from back in April but as I haven't posted for almost 3 months I thought I'd put this up anyway.

"Young Justice", the teenage super-team from the DC Universe consisting of Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis will air on Cartoon Network sometime in late 2010.

This is the official synopsis:

Being a teenager means proving yourself over and over – to peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself. But what if you’re not just a normal teenager? What if you’re a teenage super hero? How much harder will it be to prove yourself in a world of super powers, super villains and super secrets? Are you ready to come of age in such a world? Are you ready for life or death rites of passage? Are you ready to join the ranks of the great heroes and prove you’re worthy of the Justice League? The members of Young Justice—Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis—are about to find out. “There’s much more to come from DC Entertainment,” said Geoff Johns, DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer. “This is just the beginning.”


Personally I'm looking forward to the show. The animation (based on the below pic) looks crisp and clear and it looks to simply be an older version of the wacky Teen Titans cartoon that started a few years back. Shame that the legal wranglings prevented Wonder Girl from appearing and strange that Aqualad is now black... Nothing wrong with that of course, I guess if they were going to choose one of this lot to change race then they'd get the least amount of fan-flack by changing Aqualad!
