We also find out that Amanda Waller having been unseated as the warden of Belle Reve by the prison psychiatrist Hugo Strange (episode 11) was actually just one part of a far reaching conspiracy plot by some sort of ominous organization known as "The Light" which has been around pretty much since the beginning of the Young Justice cartoon's inception. Even the Injustice Society (Wotan, Joker, Atomic Skull, Black Adam, Count Vertigo, Poison Ivy) played a part in the conspiracy plot with their supposed defeat at the hands of the Young Justice Leaguers in episode 14. If you haven't been watching this series you've been missing out! Along with the Suicide Squad relaunch let's hope we see some more original Squad members in this series too.
How I would love to see a scene much like this on Young Justice someday. Be sure to check back here May 1st I'll be showing you all some professionally done Suicide Squad art work from 1987 that was never published .
For the first time The Suicide Squad has been featured on the re-paneled blog: http://repaneled.blogspot.com/2012/04/david-h-repanels-suicide-squad-21.html?showComment=1335316481599#c1312989547591701749
Yeah I watched these cool-ass episodes and have throughly enjoyed them, especially the last two. Now I was talking to Goo about this, but does anyone know when the real Roy I guess, lost his arm? Goo and I both thought this came out of nowhere, as did the revelation that the current "Roy" is a clone. I thought Batman was making it up, but apparently not. I'd like to see how all of this came about, I guess I'll just have to wait and see how this whole thing unfolds. So far the YJ show edges out the GL one right now in my book.
ReplyDeleteRoy lost his arm to Prometheus at the end of the cry for justice mini series. I don't know if the animated show will stay true to this, cause I don't think that Black Manta is Aqualad's father in this show. But the whole thing is hella interesting, I'm in.
Deletethank God for your comments guys it's so refreshing to know others out there are following Young Justice. in case you haven't figured it out yet i'm kinda fond of that show.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really good and engaging show. Plus the art/animation's pretty damn good! And isn't Peter David writing for the show? I know he wrote the episode before this one.
ReplyDeletea quick Google search confirms eh writes for the series but i dunno about that episode it's self.
DeleteOh now I get it! Nice post again mate, I'm not that big on TV but any show that delves into so many rich areas of the DCU that don't get usually covered as this one seems to deservesall the attention it can get.
ReplyDeletePeter David wrote episodies 18 "secrets" (Zatana and Artimisa goes on ladys night) and 23 "insecurity" (red arrow and co.are after chesire and sportsmaster)
