"Young Justice" News & Discussion Thread, Part 34 (Spoilers)

[the greenman]

As they've finished (at least) 16 episodes, they could very well start showing the first 13 in October.

Yeah, but they don't produce episodes in order. So we can't say the series can premiere in order just yet. I don't mean to dampen your expectations, I also don't want it rushed.

They don't? I thought every episode of Young Justice to date was produced in the same order in which they ultimately aired?

Production order has sometimes deviated from airdate order for shows like BTAS and Batman: The Brave and the Bold, but never for Young Justice, to my knowledge.

Of all the DC animated series to ever exist, the production process of YJ has always been the most public and I can say with confidence that they’ve never produced episodes out of order

 

[the greenman]

Never heard of any production being made in order. Must be a specific thing to YJ on the streaming service.

Seasons 1 & 2 were produced in order as well. As are many series, 90s network animation practices are long gone

Yeah, always have seen it in that manner. Even for live-action films & tv. If it makes things easier for them, then that's good for them.

Greg Weisman's herculean effort has almost paid off... He only has eight questions left to answer on Ask Greg!

They though it was impossible .

 

[Marvelman02]

I'm sorry to say this, but given that YJ was not on the list of HBO's fall releases, we have to consider the possibility that we won't see Phantoms until 2022.

Bummed he didn't list the Z designations like he did with the G ones earlier this month since they're now retired in essence but glad he elaborated on Tara's timeline of kidnapping.

 

[SweetShop209]

We have 17 episodes completed.

I wouldn't rule anything out until we get closer to FanDome, regardless of what has been revealed in the Fall 2021 HBO Max listings.

In this Ask Greg question, " There are three Z-series designations missing on said bag (Z-03, Z-04, and Z-06). Should I assume they are Plastic Man, Hardware, and Metamorpho (in that order or another)?", Weisman answered, "No spoilers (but you're two-thirds right)."

So the current Z-designations confirmed are:
Z-01 Batman
Z-02 Green Arrow
Z-05 Katana
Z-07 Robin
Z-08 Arrowette
Z-09 Spoiler
Z-10 Orphan

I think Z-01 to Z-06 are Justice League members in order of when they joined (and thus, Z-07 to Z-09 are in order of Team members when they joined and Z-10 and 11 are unaffiliated heroes recruited after "Princes All"). So I think Weisman implied the anonymous user was correct that:
Z-03 Plastic Man
Z-04 Hardware

But Weisman implicitly said the user was wrong on Z-06 since Metamorpho never joined the Justice League prior to the season 3 premiere and he was recruited between "Princes All" and "Exceptional Human Beings". The only other Leaguer who left with Batman that's unaccounted for is Batwoman. So I think that:
Z-06 Batwoman
Z-11 Metamorpho

And a side note is that would mean Hardware either joined the League before Katana and Batwoman or they joined at the same time during a mass recruitment drive like what we saw in season one.

 

[ShadowStar]

Since Greg Weisman only have five questions left to answer on Ask Greg now and is holding off on dealing with them, I think that he's timing them for the season 4 release announcement. Then he might just re-open Ask Greg to take new questions, to coincide with this announcement. Just my thoughts!

This article puts Phantoms on the Fandome 2021 schedule:

However, the author does not mention a source for the info and I have been unable to corroborate this news. Can anybody tell if this is legit? Thoughts? Guesses?

 

[RoyalRubble]

I could be wrong but the site looks pretty authentic to me. Either way, we should hear more about this, and the actual schedules within the next couple of weeks.

 

[the greenman]

Greg Weisman rambled on his Askgreg site on Ed Asner.

More sites (like The Hollywood Reporter for example) have started listing some of the content for DC FanDome, and seemingly confirm Young Justice: Phantoms will be present.

EDIT - Here's a separate DC FanDome News thread for DC Animation.

 

[Harlequinn]

I may be incorrect, but I recall Greg or Brandon mentioning needing to reveal Artemis’ fake death in the same episode due to CN, as well as needing Ubu to say Ra’s would be resurrected as they couldn’t explicitly kill anyone. Does anyone remember this quote or have a source? I’ve been looking for a while and can’t find a trace of it

 

[the greenman]

I didn't see this posted, but I read earlier this week, somewhere online (Tweet) that Greg says like the Green Arrow short, this film is adjacent to YJ.

Like the Green Arrow short I did ages ago, it overlaps #YoungJustice continuity without strictly speaking being a part of it.
