“Greg and I both like shows that reinvent themselves while also respecting everything that came before, so that you still get the show you love but with a slightly different flavor than the season before.” “We've tried very hard every season to give each season its own unique voice,” says Vietti. The series is produced by DC Comics and Warner Bros. The newest season, Young Justice: Phantoms, which proceeds Young Justice: Outsiders, began airing episodes in October with one episode releasing weekly every Thursday through December 30. In this world, superheroes are a recent phenomenon, and supervillains have begun conspiring together on behalf of a group of key baddies known as The Light.
Taking place in an alternate DC universe known as Earth-16, Young Justice follows the lives of teenage superheroes and sidekicks - such as Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Superboy, Red Arrow, Miss Martian, Artemis, and others - who are part of a covert operations group attached to the well-known Justice League. It's a spy show, so we thought, ‘What if we make this about secrets and lies? And what if this is a show that encompasses the entire DC Universe, but just from the point of view of these younger heroes?’”Īnd that became Weisman and Vietti’s show.
“Instead of making it about five characters in a tower, with no sense of where they'd come from, or who their family was, we really got into their backstories.
“We decided that this was going to be a show about teenagers first, a spy show second, and then a superhero show kind of a distant third,” says Greg Weisman, executive producer and showrunner with Brandon Vietti on the series. But the Emmy Award-winning Young Justice, now in its fourth season and currently airing on HBO Max, still found a place to belong – and shine - in a long line of successful series. The DC Universe has produced a lot of teen and young adult-focused hero shows, from Teen Titans to Legion of Super Heroes.
