"Young Justice" News & Discussion Thread, Part 32 (Spoilers)

[Greg91]

But yes, insert gripe about no special features but technically we got that with the behind the scenes series. I would have been content with a one commentary track in this release.

I understand budget restraints are usually the reason for a lack of special features, but it seemed like an easy opportunity to throw in the Bringing Back Young Justice with Whitney Moore series. The season two Blu-ray had some extras so this seems like a step back, but I'm not complaining at all. Super glad it's coming to home video at all.

Very cool it's a lot less of a wait than I predicted. It seems the first animated series hits Blu-ray/DVD quicker than the live action series from DCU. Interesting. I'm glad we have 3 choices of format to pick from as well. But yes, insert gripe about no special features but technically we got that with the behind the scenes series.

I like bonus features and commentary too.

Behind the scenes is one of my favorites.

Agreed! The behind-the-scenes material that has appeared on DC Universe would be a logical addition, and I would be all for commentary tracks (ideally for all 26 episodes, but at least for several key ones).

 

[Marvelman02]

It could even be an unrelated character whose name starts with an "L" and is only wearing some custom jewelry, for all we know.

Like Lori Lemaris?

Good question.

Point taken. It's possible WB & DC want to reach audiences that don't have the DC Universe app, hence the digital download, DVD and Blu Ray releases.

I wonder whether El Dorado and Cyborg were given B-designations at the end of the season. I know that they joined the Outsiders rather than the Team, but it would follow tradition for the young heroes to continue to be "promoted" from guest status to B-designation status.

Extremely likely. Along with Orphan. There's a LOT of designations that weren't revealed by season's end... But yeah. El Dorado is likely B-34, Cyborg B-35, and Orphan B-36.

 

[Parker-Shepherd]

On another note, found out a lot of people cosplayed as Young Justice characters at New York Comic Con this year.

 

[Yojimbo]

Weisman broke the 6 month hiatus from Ask Greg and answered two questions, one about casting the main cast in season 1 and new additions in Invasion.

 

[SweetShop209]

Stephanie Lemelin mentioned how she auditioned for Miss Martian before she was cast as Artemis.

I think I heard that story.

Also at Long Beach Comic Con a few years ago Greg talked about the diversity on the show such as when it came to characters who came from somewhere outside the United States, he wanted them to sound similar, in short, having the same accents, one example he mentioned was the Reach.

That's really insightful. Good read .

Also interesting that they had Mae Whitman in mind for Wonder Girl without even needing to audition. I wonder if this was just in general, and they would've cast her as Donna, or if they just felt she was perfect for Cassie ?

Stephanie Lemelin mentioned how she auditioned for Miss Martian before she was cast as Artemis.

Kind of curious to see what her Miss Martian would've sounded like...

 

[Parker-Shepherd]

That's really insightful. Good read .

It's not uncommon for people to audition for one role in a TV show or movie but they end up getting a different part. This happens in animation too.

Also, when casting, there's usually people who have a certain person in mind when trying to figure out who should play a particular character. Then there's the hard part of finding a replacement when a certain voice actor isn't available.

Khary Peyton and Kevin Michael Richardson are just two examples of voice actors who have been on shows like Young Justice and played more than one character.

Someone at Long Beach comic con mentioned Greg Weisman had one wall in his office that's covered in index cards where he's written down ideas and such for Young Justice.

 

[Yojimbo]

Minor but Weisman mentioned Melisande is European. The rest he's said before.

Weisman, Jason Marsden, Zehra Fazal, Zeno Robinson, and Christopher Jones will be at Grand Rapids Comic Con (November 8-10, 2019).

You never know! Could mention some season 4 tidbits .

(I wonder if they'll ask/confirm BartxEduardo).

lol, maybe, but I no longer hold my breath. I'd guess a quick production update on where they are -- outlines, scripts or voice recording.

A production status update sounds most likely at this point.

 

[ShadowStar]

Anyone else think that A-08 and A-09 might have been Rita Farr and Garfield Logan? Just a hunch on my part.

I wonder if any of the Doom Patrol had their own designations (if they even really existed).

 

[Yojimbo]

Perhaps, fits the time frame of those designations. At one time I was even thinking Karen Beecher and Barbara Gordon. Like they started out in support roles much like Mal then took up a costumed identity.
