Season chronology | |
Young Justice: Outsiders is the third season of the American animated superhero series Young Justice, developed by Brandon Vietti and Greg Weisman. The series follows the lives of teenage superheroes and sidekicks who are members of a covert operation group, referred to simply as "The Team", that acts as a young counterpart to the famous adult team, the Justice League. In the second season, Invasion, the Reach revealed the existence of the meta-gene. Following on from these events, the third season focuses on the Team battling metahuman trafficking as various nations and organizations have started participating in such activities. It also features the superhero team Outsiders.
Young Justice originally aired on Cartoon Network for two seasons from 2010 to 2013, before being cancelled due to low toy sales and Mattel pulling funding. Following a strong fan campaign and high viewership ratings on Netflix, the series was officially renewed for a third season by Warner Bros. in November 2016. Development on Outsiders began the next month. By July 2017, it was split into two separate sections/arcs, each consisting of 13 episodes, making a total of 26 for the whole season.
The first half of the season was released between January 4 and 25, 2019,[1] on DC's new digital platform, DC Universe, for a total of 13 episodes.[2] The second half of the season, consisting of the remaining 13 episodes, premiered on July 2, 2019.[3] During the Young Justice portion of the DC Universe panel at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, executive producers Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti announced that production for the fourth season titled Phantoms is already underway to continue the story after Outsiders.[4][5] The fourth season premiered on HBO Max on October 16, 2021.[6]

Two years after the Reach's defeat, metahuman trafficking has reached galactic levels, but the Justice League is unable to intercede due to U.N. Secretary General Lex Luthor hindering their efforts. Recognizing the restrictions, Batman, Green Arrow, their respective protégés on the Team, and other Justice Leaguers resign in a pre-planned move to operate as vigilantes again. Black Lightning also resigns, but only to recover from an incident on Rann weeks earlier. Days later, King Viktor and Queen Ilona of Markovia announce their plans to help end metahuman trafficking, as their only daughter Princess Tara was abducted two years ago; only to be later assassinated by a metahuman. Markovia is placed under martial law with Queen Ilona's power-mad brother, Baron Fredric DeLamb, serving as regent until the eldest son, Crown Prince Gregor, turns 18. His fraternal twin brother, Prince Brion, wants to form a team that can continue his late parents' mission and learns from royal physician Dr. Helga Jace that he tested positive for the meta-gene. Nightwing and Oracle learn that the traffickers' labs are using a tar-like substance from Markovia and recruit Superboy and Tigress to help infiltrate the country. Dick also asks Jefferson to join, but he is hesitant due to his guilt over his actions and fluctuating abilities. Despite these, he ultimately agrees to join. | ||||||||||||

The Justice League announces the resignation of several members in response to the U.N.'s restrictions. Baron DeLamb declares that vigilante heroes are unwelcome in Markovia, just as Dick's team arrives in the country to investigate the metahuman trafficking syndicate, "Bedlam". Nightwing and Tigress go undercover at the King's pre-coronation party while Superboy and Black Lightning go underground to find the labs. Prince Brion is at odds with his brother over their uncle becoming regent and plans to activate his meta-gene to save his country with the help of geneticist Dr. Simon Ecks. Superboy and Black Lightning find the captive meta-children, but are attacked by Count Vertigo and Plasmus. Despite sustaining injuries, Black Lightning manages to escape while Superboy is captured. Ecks shows the metahuman trafficking lab to a horrified Brion before Vertigo knocks him out and has him thrown into a pod. Vertigo leaves to report back to his superior, leaving Dr. Jace to arrive and activate the prince's pod. Meanwhile, Tigress rescues a young Quraci metahuman who was nearly buried by Bedlam thugs before her powers brought her back to life with no memory of what happened to her. | ||||||||||||

Tigress and Black Lightning head to the hospital to rescue Superboy, with some assistance from the girl Tigress saved, nicknamed "Halo".

DeLamb, having taken security footage from the lab, tries to frame Brion for his crimes; leading the latter to violently and publicly attack the former, revealing the Baron as a metahuman. Superboy manages to defeat Baron Bedlam as Gregor easily sees through his uncle's lies and has the traitor arrested. However, he's forced to banish Brion from Markovia because of what metahuman affairs have wrought on their family; though he asks Superboy to take care of him in his place. Black Lightning's powers return after witnessing a raging Plasmus kill Halo, but her passive healing factor allows her to survive.

All three stories are revealed to be connected, as all of the heroes were working together with Batman. They inform Diana that Sportsmaster released Shade, so Tetch could implant him with his mind control tech before turning him over to Cheshire. All of this was part of a metahuman trafficking ring run by Simon Stagg, who is arrested for his crimes. While in his cell, Stagg is visited by Shade.

In the end, the Light (now consisting of Savage, Luthor, Queen Bee, Klarion, and new members Deathstroke, Ultra-Humanite, and Granny Goodness) is revealed to have also been behind Lobo's attack on Forager to confirm that Nightwing has assembled a new covert team of heroes, which the villains see as a potential threat to their operations.

Meanwhile, with the U.N. bans preventing the league from stopping the Markovia coup, Brion and Tara decide to intervene themselves. | ||||||||||||

The Outsiders, the Team, and Nightwing's group all enter Markovia to stop Delamb, knowing that the Light plans on the Outsiders botching the mission to push registering and controlling all heroes and outlawing Leaguers who don't comply. Deathstroke informs Tara she must publicly kill Beast Boy. Brion is able to battle and capture DeLamb on live television. Tara gets ready for the kill, but Artemis is able to talk her down: stating the heroes always knew she was working for Deathstroke, but kept quiet so she could decide for herself. She accepts and turns herself in for her crimes. DeLamb proclaims he'll never stop trying to get the throne, so Brion executes him. While Violet and Tara are horrified, and the heroes are shocked and disgusted that he crossed the line, Markovian ambassador Zviad Baazovi manipulates Brion into overthrowing his twin brother, becoming king, and kicking the heroes out of Markovia. Black Lightning, Oracle, and Cyborg trace Tara's communicator to expose Lex as a meta-trafficker and, with Superman and Superboy backing them up, they successfully get Lex removed from the U.N. Tara is given a mitigated sentence as long as she does good with the Outsiders, which Superboy and Forager also join. Those behind the Anti-Light step down as leaders of the League and the Team, realizing the error of keeping secrets and manipulations for their misguided attempt on opposing the Light; with all the hero teams reuniting under Black Lightning as their leader and public opinion back on their side. The Light is pleased, with Baazovi being one of them, and using his secret meta-psychic ability to influence Brion as he works with Dr. Jace and Infinity Inc. They also keep an eye on Halo as a tool for future plans; Vandal Savage has reconfirmed his partnership with Darkseid. As the heroes celebrate at a cafe, a server wearing a Legion flight ring is seen. In a post-credits scene, Lobo kills a miniature clone of himself, that morphed from the finger he lost during his earlier battle with the heroes. Note: This episode was dedicated to Michel Lyman, an animation timer for the show who died on May 18, 2019. |

Production
[edit]Cancellation and revival
[edit]In January 2013, Cartoon Network had meetings with potential clients and promotional partners in which they announced their 2013–14 programming lineup with Young Justice being absent.[15] A Warner Bros. Animation representative confirmed in an interview with Newsarama the cancellation of both Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series, with the DC Nation block replacing the series with Teen Titans Go! and Beware the Batman.[16] While a fan-campaign was created in the hopes of financing continuations for both shows, Warner Bros. halted the campaign in May as they did not believe the goal could be reached.[17]
In December 2013, Kevin Smith and Paul Dini claimed in an episode of Smith's podcast Fatman on Batman, that Young Justice was cancelled due to the program's high female viewership, as network executives did not believe girls would buy toys based on the show.[18] Greg Weisman however denied this rumor and in a January 2016 episode of "The Hip-Hop Nerd" podcast, revealed the real reason why it was canceled. The show's funding was based on a toy deal with the toy company Mattel and due to low toy-sales, Mattel pulled the funding. With no other source of income to replace the money Mattel provided, the series was effectively canceled.[19]
The possibility of Young Justice revival first occurred in early February 2016 when the series' second season was released on Netflix, with Weisman urging fans to watch all episodes "over and over" or buy the Blu-rays if they wished for a third season.[20] Weisman later clarified that while neither Warner Bros. nor Netflix had expressed interest in picking up the show for a third season, high viewership on Netflix could motivate Warner Bros. into renewing the show.[21] During June, Weisman revealed that the possibility of Young Justice being renewed was "very real" but noted that fans needed to keep the show trending in order to convince Warner and Netflix of its potential.[22]
On November 7, 2016, it was officially confirmed by Sam Register, president of Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Digital Series, that Young Justice was renewed for a third season, stating that the dedicated fanbase and "[its] rallying cry for more episodes" resonated with them. It was also confirmed that Weisman and Brandon Vietti would be returning as showrunners.[23][24]
Development and writing
[edit]Weisman revealed in December 2016, that he and Vietti had already started working on the show's third season, and that the series would pick up story elements from the first two seasons, as well as the tie-in comic series.[25] On February 27, 2017, Phil Bourassa—lead character designer of Young Justice—revealed that he had begun working on the third season.[26] A week later, he revealed that some scripts had already been completed.[27] On April 25, it was announced that the show's third season would be titled Young Justice: Outsiders and would debut on DC's new digital service.[28] In late May, it was revealed that Chris Copeland joined the crew as a storyboard artist.[29]
Outsiders had its own panel at San Diego Comic-Con International 2017 on July 21.[30] During the panel, which was presented by Weisman, Vietti and Bourassa, they revealed that the first 12 scripts had already been finalized, ten were still being written and four more had not been started yet; this brought the total number of episodes for Outsiders to 26. The team's current roster was also revealed, consisting of: Static, Kid Flash, Robin, Wonder Girl, Spoiler, Blue Beetle, Beast Boy, and Arsenal as well as new characters Arrowette and Thirteen. It was also revealed that Dick Grayson / Nightwing, Artemis Crock, and Superboy would all be returning.[31][32] Vandal Savage and the Light were confirmed to return.[33] Regarding the all-black stealth suits worn by Nightwing, Artemis, Superboy, and Black Lightning, Bourassa stated that they are connected to Nightwing's story arc from the second season.[34] The show jumps forward a few years.
Due to Young Justice: Outsiders airing on a streaming service rather than a television channel, it would "skew more adult to keep up with the characters as they age".[35] When discussing the third season additions to "The Team" and its line-up, Weisman said that while the show would continue to focus on the characters introduced in the first season, they also wanted to introduce new characters as Young Justice is "a show about generations".[36] According to Vietti, Outsiders would revisit ideas that he and Weisman had originally planned while making the first two seasons of the show.[12]
Casting
[edit]The first voice actor confirmed to return was Khary Payton as Aqualad in February 2017.[37] It was later revealed in April that voice work on Outsiders had started.[38] In May, Alyson Stoner was later confirmed to return.[39] In June, Nolan North revealed that he had recorded five episodes.[40] In July, Marina Sirtis confirmed she would return to voice Queen Bee.[14] Some actors did not reprise their roles. Miguel Ferrer who originally voiced Vandal Savage died in January 2017. He was succeeded in the role by David Kaye. Tim Curry who voiced G. Gordon Godfrey suffered a stroke in July 2012 that affected his voice. He was replaced by James Arnold Taylor. The show's voice work is recorded at Bang Zoom! Studios, succeeding at Studiopolis where the first two seasons were recorded at.
Animation
[edit]As with the previous seasons, Weisman confirmed that studios in South Korea are working on the animations.[41] Digital eMation, another Korean studio which haven't worked on the series before, was also confirmed to be animating certain episodes.[42][43] Post-release credits have shown that DR Movie and Digital eMation (credited as eMation) have worked on alternating episodes, and none of the studios from the first two seasons were involved in the production. The episodes "Nightmare Monkeys" and "Illusion of Control" were entirely animated by Studio Mir.
Release
[edit]Digital release
[edit]Young Justice: Outsiders premiered on January 4, 2019,[44][45] on DC Universe, DC Comics' new digital media service.[2][28] The first 13 episodes were released throughout January, with three episodes being released every Friday except January 25, where four episodes were released. The second half of 13 episodes premiered on July 2, 2019.[44] In November 2017, it was announced that Outsiders would premiere "sometime after September", during the fourth quarter of 2018,[46] but was pushed back to 2019 in June 2018.[45]
On November 1, 2020, the series was made available on HBO Max.
Marketing
[edit]A panel to promote Outsiders was held at San Diego Comic-Con International (SDCC) on July 21, 2017, and was attended by Greg Weisman, Brandon Vietti and Phil Bourassa.[30] At the panel, two pieces of artwork were released, showcasing the main members of the Team, which included three new characters.[31] Additionally, new designs for Nightwing, Artemis, Superboy, and Black Lightning were also shown.[47] Another panel was held at SDCC on July 20, 2018. The panel was once again attended by Weisman, Vietti, and Bourassa, alongside voice actors Troy Baker, and Stephanie Lemelin. During the panel, the first trailer was released, introducing numerous new characters.
On August 31, 2018, it was announced that a DLC level pack based on the series would be integrated for Lego DC Super-Villains.[48] The level pack was released on May 14, 2019, where it served as an abridged version of the season two episode, "Summit".[49]
The second half of Outsiders was promoted at RTX during the weekend of July 5, 2019, in Austin, Texas, at the Austin Convention Center.[50]
