If it was established in Countdown to Final Crisis, it doesn't count. That series is best forgotten.

I meant Clark's real name being Christopher on that Earth.

 

[Gold Samurai]

Well I just did some checking on earth 16 and found that bit of info.

http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Christopher_Kent_(Earth-16)

Known as the Superman of his reality, Christopher developed differently from his other dimensional counterparts in terms of his physical and mental background. He was raised in a traditional Buddhist monastery, which would explain his attitude and metaphysical conditioning, and had an external spinal ridge similar to that of Doomsday. Regardless of Christopher's background, he developed superhuman powers that he used for the protection of sentient life on his Earth until he was kidnapped and brought to the Monarch's orbital space arena.

I just don't think Young Justice will be that accurate to have Superman's alter ego named Christopher Kent. He won't be around that much since it's about Young Justice anyway

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh, that was from Countdown: Arena, which was terrible and heavily connected to Countdown to Infinite Crisis, which has largely been ignored. Clearly, Young Justice isn't going that route with Superman, anyway. The Superman we saw in the clip looked like the standard Superman, not the bald monk version from Arena.

Wait, wait, it was said which "Earth" this was? And it has definite rules now? I thought it was just whatever world Greg Wiesman wants it to be for his show, like he does for his past shows, that all story editors/producers do for every TV show they work on.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Ya it was said which Earth. But that doesnt mean it is applying by DCU earth numbers. If anything, DC will change their earth16 to closesly resemble the show.

Forgot the link

As explained, Young Justice will take place with the DC multiverse on Earth-16.

No one mentioned this part but GreenWood returns

As far as the casting for the series is concerned, you can expect some pretty big names to show up on this impressive production. Most notable is Bruce Greenwood returning to voice Batman, after his take on the character in the straight to DVD film Batman: Under the Red Hood. Other names attached are Phil LaMarr (Aquaman), Alan Tudyk (Green Arrow),

I see, but if anyone really thinks WB would let a TV show confuse it's audience by adhering to Earth-16 rules that, say, Superman's real name is Chris Kent is a bit unlikely. If anything, Earth-16 provided a good basis or DC style explanation for Wiesman's world and E-16 will adapt accordingly in the comics. Much as, apparently, the Batman Beyond world of 2040 A.D. is one of DC's worlds now.

TV Guide isn't always above error, and I don't think they're as attentive to details of this show as many comic websites are.

If this series is connected to any world, it may be the world of "JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS" as the character designs are similar.

I'm sure they'll just ignore the existing Earth-16 stuff (which, I believe, is actually limited solely to that Chris Kent dude) and have it be a blank slate for the show. It'd be really stupid to start it off with that kind of baggage.

i'm pretty excited for this. loving the art.

Greg Weisman confirmed Mera will also be in Young Justice show after fans we're disappointed on the canceled Aquaman DTV. So yeha it's glad to see some the Aqua-family getitng some spotlight here.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Good. Good.

Here's a post that gathers all the Comic-con info we gathered. Hope this provides useful for people:




Producers:
- Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, Spectacular Spider-Man)
- Brandon Vietti (Superman: Doomsday, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, Batman: Under the Red Hood)

Confirmed Writers so far:
- Peter David

Roster & Voice Actors of Young Justice:
- Aqualad (Kari Peyton)
- Superboy (Nolan North)
- Robin (Jesse McCartney)
- Kid Flash (Jason Spizak)
- Miss Martian (Danica McKellar)
- Artemis (Stephanie Lemelin)

Roster & Voice Actors (more to come) of Justice League:
- Superman
- Batman (Bruce Greenwood)
- Aquaman (Phil Lamarr)
- Green Arrow (Alan Tudykk)
- Captain Marvel (Rob lowe)
- Zatarra
- Hawkman
- Hawkgirl
- Hal Jordan
- John Stewart
- Flash
- Red Tornado
- Martian Manhunter
- Black Canary
- Captain Atom
- Wonder Woman

Villains (So far)
- Icicle
- Queen Bee (Marina Sirtis)
- Captain Cold
- Ice

Other confirmed characters:
- Secret
- Mera
- Speedy/Red Arrow.

Aqualad takes the team leader role in field, wheres Justice League (specificly Batman) train and send the team on missions. I like that they took a very bold move to have a minority character whos also only a month old character, and made him into a team leader. It's a very clever and grounded idea to have crime fighters in secret working againts the criminals, especially with such an interesting cast. Especially considering Aqualad is indeed the son of the nefarious villain Black Manta. Most of the hereos are around the age of 15 or 16. Robin is 13 years old, but he's done this the longest.

Magnificent voice actor list so far, but thats what you except from a Weisman show. Really a show with such a intriquing and fresh spin on Teen heroes is definatly something worth trying out. It's not Teen Titans or Justice League unlimited. It's about Teen age heroes doing undercover missions because Justice League can't be seen doing dirty things.

Geoff Johns also stated that Cassandra Cain (Batgirl) will be seen outside of comics. Whenever or not it's this cartoon show, is left to be seen. We can also assume (based upon assumptions, mind you) that Zatanna might be a teenager here, why else have Zatarra (her father) in the Justice League?

 

[KBX]

Thanks for the info.

Are you sure thats Zatarra in the league or Zatannas cousin(Forget his name)?

 

[LightningFlash]

It's Zachary Zatara.

 

[Hush]

Nolan North=Instanious Win.

 

[Young Superman]

It's Zachary Zatara.

You sure it's not John Zatara? Isn't Zachary Zatara a teenager in the in the comics?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Dick Grayson is about 10 years older than Superboy in the comics, too.

 

[Hush]

So is this show going to get its on set of Boards? I mean Heroes is done, so that opens a slot for this.

 

[Drz]

I would love that. I need a new place to spam episode threads once Brave & Bold is over. :'(

 

[Drz]

Batman confirmed to have a big role in the show. He's going to be in the shadows watching them, but also the trainer and mission giver. Robin is a great stagetist, fighter & computer hacker. (Tim Drake trait adopted by Dick) Weisman talks how Batman is their general, will play a huge prominent role in the show, they compliment Greenwood as a great voice actor for Batman. Batman villains are also confirmed, for example Mr. Freeze is confirmed villain, among other Bat-characters.

Artemis is an existant character, not made up. She's not speedy, Arrowette or Wonder Girl. Her identity is a secret for now.

 

[LightningFlash]

Sweet. Batman needed to have a big role in the series anyways; I want to see a good Batman incarnation on an animated series as I was never a fan of Batman: Brave and the Bold, the series or its version of Batman.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I kind of wish someone else were going to be overseeing the team, but Batman does make sense. I'm just kind of sick of Batman being "the guy" for virtually everything.
