YOUNG JUSTICE: SEASON 2, PART 2(2010):
The last 10 episodes of the Young Justice TV series!! These are really
REALLY good!!! Although there are a few flaws, they can mostly
be forgiven, if not ignored all together!!
At this point in the series, it's hard to know who's actually part
of the team and who's not!!
DISC 1:
EPISODE 1: CORNERED(Jan. 12, 2013):
The JLA and the Young Justice team meet up with the new
friendly group The Reach!! On a side note Black Canary is having
meetings with all the team to see how they're all handling the
battle they had with the Reach!! And Nightwing is trying to make
a new home for the team!! And not to be outdone, there's a new
alien in town, Despero, who's trying to test his superiority
to the superheroes on Earth!! And Megan is having real issues
dealing with what happened between her and Aqualad!!
Oh, and the group the Reach are using the stupid reporter
to turn Earth's people against the whole superhero bunch!!! A
EPISODE 2: TRUE COLORS(Jan. 19, 2013):
Atom and Bumblebee go inside of Jaime to try to help him
get rid of the scarab that makes him Blue Beetle!! And the
Reach joins up with Lex Luthor, which of course we all know
that can't be good!! And Sportsmaster goes to get revenge for
his daughter's(Artemis) death on Aqualad, but his "dad" forbids
it!! This sets Sportsmaster out after Black Manta! Meanwhile,
part of the team are battling against Black Beetle, when a new
Beetle, Green, comes to join the party!! A
EPISODE 3: THE FIX(Jan. 29, 2013):
Black Mantra is out for revenge against Miss Martian for
what happened to Aqualad, not realizing that she feels worse
about the whole thing than he does!!!! And Mantra has pulled
in a ringer to help get Aqualad's mind back in order!! This, of
course, can lead to nothing but disaster for the him and the
rest of the Young Justice team!! Oh, and Lex Corp and the Reach
have come up with a new product to take over the planet without
ever having to go to war!! It also contains a "gene tracer" that
allows them to identify people who have a potential for super
powers!! A
EPISODE 4: RUNAWAYS(Feb. 2, 2013):
Nightwing sends out Blue Beetle to locate some runaways
from a place called S.T.A.R.(of which there was a DC comic by
the name S.T.A.R. Corps), but it turns out that he is not the only one
looking for them!! And the kids(or at least most of them)
are looking for a cure to their powers!! And of course, Lex Luthor
gets in on the whole fun!! A
EPISODE 5: WAR(Feb. 9, 2013):
The JLA members are on trial, and trying to show that they are
not criminals!! And the fun part is that Vandal Savage it there at
the trial maneuvering the trial!! And the Earth is being attacked
by The Warworld because of the Reach!! And we have a new traitor
in our midst!! A
DISC 2:
EPISODE 6: COMPLICATIONS(Feb. 16, 2013):
At this point, it seems that the odds are way against our heroes!
The Justice League is fighting against inter stellar issues, the Young
Justice fighting against not only Lex Luthor and The Reach, but also
one of their own heroes!! And Sportsmaster and Cheshire have infiltrated
Black Manta's base, set on vengeance!! A
EPISODE 7: THE HUNT(Feb. 23, 2013):
With only a few of the heroes left after most of the Young Justice
team having been caught and most of the JLA still defending their
honor, things look really bleak! And then, enter an ally that no one
would expect, Lex Luthor!! He teams up with the runaways from a
few episodes back and helps them find the captives!! And they come
face to face with Black Beetle!! And we all know what a fine, upstanding
person Lex is! He's up to something!! A
EPISODE 8: INTERVENTION(Mar. 2, 2013):
At this point, it appears that Impulse's prognostication is about to
come true!! With Blue Beetle completely under the reach's control,
Blue is in a position to take down the team by himself! And Megan
is having a talk with Lagoon Man about their relationship!! A
EPISODE 9: SUMMIT(Mar. 9, 2013):
At this point, there are only two episodes left, and a Hell of a lot
still to wrap up!! This starts out with all the particular bad guys in
a meeting of the minds, as it were!! And Artemis gets discovered,
which also means that Aqualad also gets outed!! This brings up
quite a huge battle!! A
EPISODE 10: ENDGAME(Mar. 16, 2013):
With only Black Manta and a few of the Reach still on Earth, the
only move for them to keep from getting in hot water with the
Green Lantern Corp is to destroy the Earth!! With the Young Justice
just a lilttle too late with the evidence about the Light's involvement
the JLA members have been found guilty!! And again, Luthor to the
rescue!! This has the death of a major character!!! But honestly,
I feel that they never expected this to end with this season, and
planned on a return of this character!! A
SPECIALS:
DISC 2:
THREE EPISODES FROM THE STATIC SHOCK ANIMATED SERIES:
This is a direct spinoff from the Young Justice series!
SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM:
First things first, this is aimed directly at black youth!! The character
doesn't resemble the one from Young Justice at all!! This episode
shows the origin of the character! C
AFTERSHOCK:
After the accident that changed Virgil into Static, he ends up having
to battle some of the others that were affected by the same blast,
only they're, for the most part, all doing bad stuff!! C
REPLAY:
This is about a former child star who's out to get even with
everyone because he's no longer a popular dude but just a
"normal dude", who just happens to be able to multiplicate
himself into an infinite number of himself!! And he calls himself

From an IMDb.com customer
I watch animated superhero shows on Saturday morning
to satisfy the inner child in me and my favorites so far were
Batman TAS and Justice League. But this show blew me
away, probably because my expectations were so low
about a show revolving around the sidekicks. But it quickly
establishes that the stakes are high and it finds a good
way to integrate the story and the characters into the DC
universe. The stories are complex, the characters fleshed
out and it finds an almost perfect balance between action,
story and characters. It's not about wanna-be heroes but
heroes in the making. Taking season 1 alone I would give
it 10 out of 10 and maybe even call it the best animated
show in the DC universe, but unfortunately TV business
intervened. The show didn't hit the intended demographics
(too many girls were watching - which just demonstrates
how ridiculously archaic the TV and advertisement business
really is) - anyway this led to the tinkering of the 2nd season's
setting and the premature cancellation. The quality of season
2 is still high, but you can never shake the feeling that they
abandoned a great show and made too many compromises
to cater to a specific audience. - tmf084
