Heh, I was brought here by searching for articles with Snowflame in them, and someone mentioned him on the first page. Too bad such a villain would never make the cut, because, if you take away the cocaine, he's not even half as entertaining.
Anyhow, this show looks like it'll be good. I like the idea of Batman as their mission control. Hopefully each adult League member will play a special role in watching over the young team.

Personally, I like Teen Titans much more than most of the DCAU. It's a lot easier for me to take superheroes seriously if they can admit how inherently silly they are in between their more dramatic moments, and I really hope this Young Justice cartoon resembles the former more than the latter. I think it's great that they're taking big risks like killing off established characters (when appropriate), but I really want to like this series, and I don't think I'd be able to if it wears nothing but a serious face all the time.

I think he does.

Teen Titans is really not as animesque as people think / claim; they pulled the plug on all but the more subtle nods by the middle of the second season.
Oddly, I had a hard time getting into Spectacular Spider-Man due to a bad case of Art-Style Dissonance, though.

"Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse." —Mycroft Next^ I think I see what you mean: Teen Titans was more gag oriented, while Spectacular Spiderman was more witty.
Yeah, Teen Titans took as much influence, if not more, from Tex Avery cartoons as from anime.
Pretty sure that the guy who did the character designs for the show also worked on some of the non-DCAU movies. And the black guy is the redesigned and Race Lift-ed Aqualad.

I noticed that the female characters didn't get any screen time in that ad.
Kind of unfair.
"Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse." —Mycroft Next^^ I thought that they were doing something similar to Avengers Earths Mightest Heroes; like not all of the team is appearing at once. Because it looks like it's just Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash at first, but then they meet Superboy in that first episode. I'm guessing Artemis and Miss Martian will appear in the next episode or the one after.

I hope Miss Martian doesn't die. She's the cute one, for me.

Shut up and wait and see a little bit more about the character. Besides, Speedy in Teen Titans did a pretty good job being similar-but-different from Robin. (he lived up to his name, and I don't mean the drugs)
A cross between Green Arrow and Wonder Woman? That sounds surprisingly awesome.
