Much, much better episode than last week's that's a throwback to the first season with the young members being a covert team. Despite what the showrunners say, I don't believe the original 6 are the focus this season. I like this new team of Robin, Blue Beetle, Impulse, and Arsenal. Throw in Superboy and Wonder Girl and you'd have a team from the Young Justice comics. The Green Beetle was awesome and should join the team as well. I can see friction between he and Miss Martian.
After much focus on Miss Martian, she's benched for this episode. There seems to be a feud triangle with Sportmaster wanting Aqualad and Black Manta wanting Miss Martian. Deathstroke makes his debut and looked awesome here and in Arrow. How cute to see Atom and Bumblebee working together as well as the Justice League series logo. |

The action was much better than Cornered, that's for sure. Black Beetle seemed even more impressive in this episode than Before the Dawn and that's saying something. Not to mention his banter: "Nothing like a warm plasma bath to calm the nerves...And clean off the tomato stains." ROFL "Seriously? The fruit hurt more." He was on a roll in this episode. Can't wait to see what he does in his next showing. I'd like to say I called it, sadly I never did. But I KNEW they'd have Psimon piece Kaldur'ahm's mind back together! Way to go, M'gann, bravo, excellent job. Instead of killing Kaldur, I'm sure the Light will indeed turn Kaldur into a triple agent. Brilliant...Poor Kaldur's been messed over bad, and is about to be made even WORSE. Though it was for a short bit, Luthor and Savage are a truly ingenious duo. A lost tidbit is that I expected this to be the episode the Reach was exposed. Ah well, like I said before, more Black Beetle for us. Last edited by venomfangs125; 01-19-2013 at 04:41 PM. |

Enjoyed this episode a lot more than last week's.
I can imagine what Dread will say about the ending. ![]()

Another awesome episode. Arsenal is becoming a favorite of mine. He's got all that firepower and likes blowing stuff up. At least stuff belonging to Luthor.
This Robin is developing into quite the leader. This is his second mission that he led, right? (Episode-wise). I think Nightwing led the team once in Season One? Btw, in the comics is there something between Bumblebee and Atom? I know she's in college, but he's her professor? Or am I mistaken? |

Just watched the episode and it was good. Was totally not expecting to see a Green Beetle show up, but it was cool to see how beetles attaching themselves to different species would somewhat give everyone some upperhand against one another.
Family vs. Family will be interesting. Sportsmaster/Chesire vs. Manta will be fun to watch if we ever get to this point. I also wish they could introduce Rose/Ravager when they introduced Deathstroke but that would be a lot of family members working together. Now just give me some more development on Wonder Girl/Batgirl/Robin and I will be a happy camper all around. I still dont see how people are blaming M'gann for what she did. If anything blame the YJ trinity for not letting the rest of the team in on the idea. All M'gann knew is that Kaldur went to the dark side and killed one of her best friends. It isnt all her fault that it is all leading up to this. All the original members who arent Wally are to be blamed for everything leading up to this point. |

There's not catch about the arm, actually. Lex was saving his own skin, and he knew that the League would check on it right away, so he played it safe.

Great ep and better than last week I thought. Really glad Tim had some more spotlight/line delivery and Arsenal was pretty badass - especially when it came down to fighting Black Beetle. Green Beetle showing up to save the day was nice too. Solid episode.
And that was one massive ponytail on Deathstroke. ![]()

I enjoy Arsenal more so than Red Arrow.
He can access the Watchtower for the team since Red Arrow was a member of the group. Lex Luthor and Macho Man Vandal Savage are awesome together as top villains. (I would like to see Vandal Savage pay tribute to the late Randy Savage by doing the flying elbow smash on the team.) ![]() |

With that ponytail, he reminds me of Image Comics hero Superpatriot.

His name is a play on and homage to the word "Barsoom", the Martian's name for Mars in the John Carter of Mars series written by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

It took the preview for the latest episode of "YOUNG JUSTICE" a little longer than the last to hit the web, which due to CN's scheduling nightmare brought on some extra anxiety than intended for this episode. Oh, no, not again! But in truth, waiting until Thursday or Friday to release it used to be nothing new. And thus Saturday morning did come, and "TRUE COLORS" did reveal itself to the masses, and it was good. It is a better and more involved episode than "CORNERED" was, naturally furthering along subplots as well as delivering on the action. New characters are introduced, some older ones from the comics are cameo'd, and a literary reference is made.
Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:
I'm not looking forward to an episode focusing on the abductee brats, but I know one might be inevitable and it probably will be executed well. I am, however, looking forward to "THE FIX" quite a bit, as it may potentially answer quite a few questions as only psychic memory quests can. While this show can be a frustrating thing at times to enjoy, it's a good kind of frustration that helps keep the suspense riveting. It certainly is a fearless and bold series, for better or worse, which would rather take risks than coast on the expected. Which one prefers depends on the beholder. But, so long as the episodes remain this good, then it's an easy choice. Now THAT'S a rutabaga!

It is a monolithic view, yes, but apparently one that Bruce Timm and some others in WB animation have. Why else do Lex Luthor and Darkseid keep popping up? They're popular and well known. I am generalizing, but I do imagine large chunks of the audience prefer over the top battles with popular villains and simple solutions to complicated problems/storylines. If not, why has "BEN 10" endured for 7 seasons besides merchandise? The Cadmus arc didn't end as well as it began and JLU did over rely on certain villains when times got tough; if not for the silly "Batman embargo" I am sure we'd have gotten another Joker episode. Certain subsets of the audience like WWE style battles. Catering, or pandering, to audiences is hardly an unknown thing in television. And I'll readily admit to being a sucker for a good action sequence sometimes. "YOUNG JUSTICE" is easily the best DC cartoon on TV since "JLU" ended in 2006, and it does do quite a few things better. I do think it's struggled with focus as the cast has inflated much as "JLU" did, only it has a more serialized storyline and more effective villains.

Dont forget that Jaime is still a teenager at this point. He could grow and bulk up as an adult.
And I have seen people speculating that M'gann is going undercover again as Psimon which I could see her doing. |

Eh, this was a little disappointing. Mainly 'cause it didn't focus on Tim as much as I would've liked. Seriously, he's had three episodes and I still don't know jack about Earth-16 Tim.

youre not supposed to know about Tim. Just like Dick and any member of the Bat family, their identity is secret from the rest of the team.

yeah from the team but not the audience. Dick showed a lot more of his personality in season 1 than Tim has this season as Robin.
