History ComicBook / YoungJustice2019

* ShipSinking: Subverted. [[spoiler: Issue #3 seems to have sunk the Conner/Cassie pairing in by revealing that Conner is a married man with wife and a daughter on the Gemworld. However, Issue #6 reveals that the marriage is actually a front and the child not his. As Conner explains, when he fell into Gemworld, he witnesses Lophi, a pregnant peasant farm woman, being taunted over being a future single mother and lacking a mate (she later reveals they killed her husband in a Turquoise trade war). Conner proceeds to claim he's her husband and when one of the Opal soldiers attempts to antagonize Conner, he catches the guard's punch, even ''crushing'' his fist, before taking his "wife's" arm and leaving. He acts as her husband to protect her while she took him in refuge while waiting for his friends. While it's debatable if they harbor any genuine romantic feelings for one another, they do deeply care about one another and are grateful for one another's kindness in their time of need. In fact, when the little girl was born, Conner actually named her Martha, after Ma Kent.]]

* {{Retcon}}: According to Bendis, Conner will have always existed and has simply been missing the whole time. [[spoiler:It's implied that Conner was around before Dr. Manhattan caused the New 52 and him being teleported to Gemworld caused him to slip through the cracks.]]

''Not'' to be confused with ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice: Outsiders'', which despite carrying the name and launching at around the same time, is ''not'' tied to this comic in any way.

* CallBack: When the team drops in on Earth-C, Captain Carrot recognizes the human-types from the "[[ComicBook/{{TheMultiversity}} Multithirsty]]"

* RetCanon: Issue #15 reforming Young Justice into a sprawling "Young Justice League", complete with official ties to the Justice League, seems to be bringing it more in line with its [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice cartoon counterpart]].

* MythologyGag: Amethyst's design is based on her design from the ''WesternAnimation/AmethystPrincessOfGemworld'' shorts.

* CostumeEvolution: Tim, Bart and Conner get looks inspired by their original ''Young Justice'' designs, but with added touches to keep them current.

** Somewhere between the end of the New 52 Teen Titans run and the first issue, Cassie is going through something that makes her not want to use her powers. Before she joins the battle, she's obviously crying because of it. [[spoiler:Issue 2 reveals that [[ChooserOfTheOne Zeus tried to recruit her to be a guardian of the realm]], [[RefusalOfTheCall she refused because she was tired of people telling her what she should be]] and TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive.]]

* MoreDiverseSequel: While it still retains the core foursome, they're joined by Teen Lantern (African-American), ComicBook/{{Naomi|DCComics}} [=McDuffie=] (also African-American), the Jackson Hyde Aqualad (African-American and gay), Jinny Hex (a lesbian), and their allies include [[ComicBook/DialHForHero Miguel Montez]] (Hispanic and gay or bisexual) and the ComicBook/WonderTwins (aliens).

** In issue #5, when [[spoiler:Zatanna accidentally unlocks Tim's memories of the pre-''Flashpoint'' universe, we're shown not only most of the recognizable members of the original Young Justice, including Arrowette, Empress, Secret and Slobo, but also ''ComicBook/GrantMorrisonsJLA'' line-up and past mentors Red Tornado and Snapper Carr.]]

The first arc involves Jinny, Tim, Cassie, Bart, and Keli coming to Metropolis for reasons of their own, only to end up fighting off an invasion from Gemworld, which has been affected every time Earth had a major crisis (which is to say, [[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths a]] [[ComicBook/ZeroHour lot]] -- [[ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis seven]] [[ComicBook/FinalCrisis of]] [[ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}} them]], [[ComicBook/{{Convergence}} in]] [[ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal fact]]) and now they know it's Franchise/{{Superman}}'s fault. The five young heroes end up crossing into Gemworld in pursuit of the retreating invaders, where they meet Amethyst and Conner. Together, they must unite against the machinations of Dark Opal.

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: Jinny Hex is the teen female descendant of ComicBook/JonahHex.

** And it turns out the team only exists at all because [[ComicBook/TheFlashRebirth Eobard Thawne]] didn't want Bart to reunite the Flash Family, so he hypnotised him into seeking out his friends instead. NiceJobFixingItVillain, you just created a superhero team, Reverse Flash!

* AtrociousAlias: During the team’s jaunt through the multiverse, Tim defeats his Earth-3 counterpart and takes his costume and name, becoming “Drake”. At the end of issue 18, Tim’s back to being Robin with everyone telling him what a terrible name it was.

* CheapCostume: Cassie Sandsmark just has a Wonder Woman tank top, a brown jacket, a black skirt, leggings and tennis shoes; not really much of a superhero outfit. She still manages to make it look cool, especially in the first issue variant.

** In issue #5, when [[spoiler:Zatanna accidentally unlocks Tim's memories of the pre-''Flashpoint'' universe, we're shown not only most of the recognizable members of the original Young Justice, including Arrowette, Empress, Secret and Slobo, but also Grant Morrison's ''JLA'' line-up and past mentors Red Tornado and Snapper Carr.]]

* VagueAge: It's not clear how old Bart is, at least biologically. At times he seems to be as young as he was when he was first created, at others he seems closer to Tim's age.

* MoreDiverseSequel: While it still retains the core foursome, they're joined by Teen Lantern (African-American), ComicBook/{{Naomi}} McDuffie (also African-American), the Jackson Hyde Aqualad (African-American and gay) and their allies include [[ComicBook/DialHForHero Miguel Montez]] (Hispanic) and the ComicBook/WonderTwins (aliens).
