* CostumeEvolution: Most of the already-introduced characters, particularly the Justice League, have new costumes -- many of which lean towards their ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' appearance, such as Superman losing his classic trunks but having no collar unlike his previous ''ComicBook/New52'' suit. Wonder Woman's is similar to her outfit created for the [[WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies direct-to-video]] [[WesternAnimation/DCAnimatedMovieUniverse shared universe movies]] starting with ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueWar''. Notably, this all contrasts with the first two seasons because they were visually based on the pre-''New 52'' DCU, as the ''New 52'' and ''Rebirth'' revamps happened after the show started.

* DemotedToExtra: The Team itself, which were the driving force of the series in the first two seasons, is now but a shell of its former self with most of its membership having gone separate ways. This season focuses on the titular Outsiders, their ContrastingSequelProtagonist group, which consists of former Team and League members as well as new recruits. For reference, the Team currently only appears in the first episode in a minor role where they split, and afterwards the focus is entirely on the Outsiders.

* MythologyGag:
** The entire premise of an ideological rift growing within the Justice League that eventually leads to the creation of a more proactive new team calls to mind ''Comicbook/JusticeLeagueCryForJustice''.
** Black Lightning derisively refers to the aforementioned Justice League splinter group as “[[Comicbook/GrantMorrisonsBatman Batman, Incorporated]]” after turning down an offer to join.
** Batman deciding to [[StartMyOwn start his own]] SuperTeam because of his dissatisfaction with the Justice League is nothing new, as this happened in the comics, but instead it was the ''[[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders Outsiders]]'' rather than Batman Incorporated.
** Beast Boy is revealed to have retired from the world of superheroics and started acting in a popular sci-fi series called ''Space Trek 3016''. This is a nod to the period in the comics where he started working as an actor after his teammates on the Comicbook/DoomPatrol were murdered by Madame Rouge and General Zahl. What’s more, the purple and black uniform he wears on ''Space Trek'' is based on his costume from the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' animated series.
** Courtney Whitmore appears as the host of an entertainment series called ''[[Comicbook/StargirlDCComics Stargirl]]''.
** M'gann goes bald and turns her skin back to white, a reference to the ''Titans Tomorrow'' storyline, where one of the adult Titans is an adult M'gann. However, in ''Titans Tomorrow'', it was to show that she had a FaceHeelTurn, whereas here, she's becoming more comfortable showing her true self to others.

** On a team level, there's the Outsiders this season being led and founded by Nightwing, while Batman starts his own organization called Batman Incorporated.

Basically, the idea of the Outsiders was split in two.

!!!'''Tropes dealing with the revived ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' series that streams on Creator/DCUniverse, starting with Season 3 (''Outsiders'').'''

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/young_justice_outsiders_logo_21.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''The heroes you demanded are finally back.'']]

''Young Justice: Outsiders'' is the third season of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', the animated superhero series loosely based on the eponymous comic series by Creator/DCComics. The show, created by Creator/GregWeisman and Brandon Vietti, originally aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork, premiering in 2010. Despite garnering critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase, the show was cancelled after two seasons in 2013. For three years, fans would rally behind the show in order to get a third season made. In the end, the show's [[{{Uncancelled}} revival]] was announced in November 2016. The show officially released on January 4, 2019, as an exclusive to the Creator/DCUniverse streaming service.

''Outsiders'' follows up on the events of Season 2; after the Reach revealing the existence of the metagene, various nations and organizations have started participating in metahuman trafficking, which will be the main focus on this season.

'''Unmarked spoilers for [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice the original series]] will follow.'''

Meanwhile, there's Superboy, Tigress, Oracle and Forager, who are new additions that were never affiliated in the comics.
* AnimationBump: Not that the animation was ever low in quality, but ''Outsiders'' displays noticeably improved animation as the result of higher budgets and better technology available. It's on par with the WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies line.
* ArtShift: Going with the animation change, the art style is also noticeably different this time around. Phil Bourassa, who won an Emmy for his character designs on the series, went on to be the character designer for DC's subsequent line of animated films (to the point that several films just recycle and recolor minor ''Young Justice'' designs like young Garfield Logan and T. O. Morrow) and those years of ArtEvolution have cycled back around into ''Outsiders''.
* AscendedExtra:
** Arrowette originally appeared as the little girl who watched her dad get saved in "Insecurity", all the way in Season 1. Here she returns as a member of the Team.
** Spoiler appeared getting captured as her civilian identity, Stephanie Brown, in the second season and only got two lines then. Like Arrowette, she's now a member of the Team.
** Black Lightning had an extremely minor role in Season 2, only getting a speaking part in his final appearance (which barely amounted to anything). Here, Black Lightning is slated to be one of the main cast members as a member of the titular Outsiders.
* BreakingTheFellowship: The Justice League splits at the beginning due to the UN (specifically, [[ManipulativeBastard Lex Luthor]]) preventing them from being able to operate on Earth legally without unanimous approval, to the extent that they can't even mount rescue missions. Because of this, Batman resigns and takes a number of both League and Team members with him, while Black Lightning joins the Outsiders for different reasons.
* TheCameo:
** Black Lightning's daughters, Anissa and Jennifer, make silent appearances with their mom in the first episode.
** [[ComicBook/StargirlDCComics Courtney Whitmore]] is the star of a show called ''Stargirl''.

* DarkerAndEdgier:
** The series was already dark to begin with, but ''Outsiders'' is confirmed to allow more mature content than what was allowed on Creator/CartoonNetwork, thanks to the lax standards of streaming television. Weisman himself stated the season is now PG-13 leaning toward R, rather than PG on the verge of PG-13.
** The first five minutes show a 14-year-old girl being abducted, taken to a trafficking lab (where ''dead bodies'' are explicitly shown), and [[FaceMonsterTurn forcibly turned into a monster]] to attack Rann, where she's soon killed by accident by Black Lightning, much to his horror. Marking it further, her death is ''completely unambiguous'', unlike most deaths in the first two seasons.
** Halo receives her powers only ''after'' being killed by her metahuman transformation. So [[spoiler:she is being buried alive when her abilities bring her back to life]]. Then even more horrifically [[spoiler:her face is melted off by Plasmus]] which she also manages to survive.
* DemotedToExtra: The Team itself, which were the driving force of the series in the first two seasons, is now but a shell of its former self with most of its membership having gone separate ways. This season focuses on the titular Outsiders, their ContrastingSequelProtagonist group, which consists of former Team and League members as well as new recruits. For reference, the Team only appear in the first episode in a minor role where they split, and afterwards the focus is entirely on the Outsiders.
* HotterAndSexier: Another benefit of being an online series. There's more risqué situations and dialogue, with Stephanie Lemelin even referring to the script as "sexier".
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Par for the course given the series, ''Outsiders'' is already shaping up to be this. So far, we know there's the titular Outsiders, the third iteration of the Team, the Justice League, Batman Incorporated, The Light, and various other villains, heroes, and side characters that will consist of not only familiar characters, but new faces as well.
* MythologyGag:
** The entire premise of an ideological rift growing within the Justice League that eventually leads to the creation of a more proactive new team calls to mind ''Comicbook/JusticeLeagueCryForJustice''.
** Black Lightning derisively refers to the aforementioned Justice League splinter group as “[[Comicbook/GrantMorrisonsBatman Batman, Incorporated]]” after turning down an offer to join.
** Batman deciding to [[StartMyOwn start his own]] SuperTeam because of his dissatisfaction with the Justice League is nothing new, as this happened in the comics, but instead it was the ''[[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders Outsiders]]'' rather than Batman Incorporated.
** Beast Boy is revealed to have retired from the world of superheroics and started acting in a popular sci-fi series called ''Space Trek 3016''. This is a nod to the period in the comics where he started working as an actor after his teammates on the Comicbook/DoomPatrol were murdered by Madame Rouge and General Zahl. What’s more, the purple and black uniform he wears on ''Space Trek'' is based on his costume from the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' animated series.
** Courtney Whitmore appears as the host of an entertainment series called ''[[Comicbook/StargirlDCComics Stargirl]]''.
** M'gann goes bald and turns her skin back to white, a reference to the ''Titans Tomorrow'' storyline, where one of the adult Titans is an adult M'gann. However, in ''Titans Tomorrow'', it was to show that she had a FaceHeelTurn, whereas here, she's becoming more comfortable showing her true self to others.
* NeverTrustATrailer: The marketing made it look like Arrowette and Spoiler would be prominent members of the Team. While their ''membership'' is technically true, they leave the Team for Batman Incorporated just minutes after their introduction, without speaking a word. This was done as a smokescreen to cover the fact that the Justice League undergoes BreakingTheFellowship at the beginning, that seeps into the Team itself.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation:
** Black Lightning's wife, Lynn Stewart-Pierce, is [[ComicBook/GreenLantern John Stewart]]'s sister. Her creator, Tony Isabella, deliberately gave her the surname of Stewart in case anyone wanted to make her related to John, which has never been done until now.
** Queen Ilona of Markovia is the sister of Baron Bedlam.
* RevisitingTheRoots: Season Three plans to restore the first season's use of mystery and espionage, something that was mostly absent from the second season, ''Invasion''.
* RoleReprisal:
** Almost everyone in the main cast reprises their roles here despite the roughly six-year gap between seasons, the exceptions being Beast Boy, Vandal Savage, and G. Gordon Godfrey.
** Creator/GregCipes reprises the aforementioned Beast Boy in the place of Logan Grove, having played him originally in 2003's ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' and various other adaptations.
** [[Comicbook/WonderGirl Donna Troy]] finally makes her debut this season, where she’s voiced by Creator/GreyGriffin, who previously provided Donna’s voice in the ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' shorts.
* ShoutOut:
** Garfield is an actor in ''Space Trek 3016'', which is a reference to ''Franchise/StarTrek''. It should be noted that Creator/GregWeisman [[AuthorAppeal is a Trekkie]].
** The logo of [=GoodeVision=] is the Warner Bros. logo.
* StartMyOwn: The League's restrictions by the UN means they basically can't operate on Earth without approval. This leads to two teams spinning off of it after the mass resignations.
** The titular Outsiders is formed by former Team members Nightwing, Tigress, Superboy, Oracle, as well as former League member Black Lightning. At first it was a one-time deal, but evidently it sticks. They recruit Geo-Force, Halo, Forager, Katana (another former League member), and Metamorpho along the way.
** Batman leads the charge of the resignations, and takes Green Arrow, Robin III, Spoiler, Arrowette, Batwoman, Plastic Man, and Hardware with him to form Batman Incorporated.
* TimeSkip: Two years have passed since ''Invasion''.
