 "Don't call them sidekicks." Young Justice is an animated television series based on DC Comics, created by Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, The Spectacular Spider-Man, W.I.T.C.H.) and Brandon Vietti (Batman Under The Red Hood, Superman Doomsday, The Batman), produced by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation, and distributed by Cartoon Network.The first season follows a group of teenaged superheroes — Robin (Jesse McCartney), Aqualad (Khary Payton), Kid Flash (Jason Spisak), Superboy (Nolan North) and Miss Martian (Danica McKellar), later joined by Artemis (Stephanie Lemelin), Zatanna (Lacey Chabert), Red Arrow (Crispin Freeman) and Rocket (Kali Troy) — who are members of a covert operation team under the authority of the Justice League. The Team and the League battle a cabal of supervillains known as "The Light" and its minions, though the Light goes to great lengths to make sure the heroes never discover they exist as a single organization.The second season is set five years later with an expanded Team of old and new members. The now-adult Robin, now known as Nightwing, is still on the Team as leader and mentor to the junior members — the new Robin, Wonder Girl, Beast Boy, Lagoon Boy, Blue Beetle and others. Superboy and Miss Martian also remain as mentors, while other members have left the team, some to join the League itself.Members of the show's creative team include Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman The Brave And The Bold) as executive producer, Phil Bourassa (Justice League Crisis On Two Earths) as lead character designer, Jamie Thomason (Gargoyles, Hercules) as voice and casting director, and Geoff Johns overseeing the process as DC's Chief Creative Officer.Despite sharing the title, it is not a direct adaptation of the comic book series of the same name, and the show's story arc is original. However, it does draw material from Young Justice, Teen Titans and other DC Comics series. Peter David, chief writer of the Young Justice comic, is also one of the show's writers.The series is set in a "young DC Universe", Earth-16 of the DC Multiverse, during an era informally dubbed by the Powers That Be as the New Age of Heroes. While the series follows an episodic format, there are multiple subplots and overall story arcs weaved throughout the episodes. Though the Team's missions are the main focus, their personal lives at home and school are explored as well. The series makes use of many, many characters from the wider DC Universe as the supporting cast, including characters which had never previously been animated.—Tagline for Young Justice
