Young Justice
Young Justice is an animated series based on DC comics’ various “sidekick” heroes. The series follows the adventures of Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis, all of whom have been recruited by Batman to act as the Justice League’s covert-ops team. The series was developed and is produced by Brandon Vietti and Greg Weisman.
The series is not an exclusive adaptation of the DC comic title of the same name but rather draws from all across over seventy years of DC canon, particularly the original Teen Titans, the Justice League of America as well as the original Young Justice comic series.
The series premiered on the 26th of November 2010 with a one hour movie.

References to Gargoyles in Young Justice
- When the clone Superboy speaks for the first time in Independence Day Part Two, a surprised Kid Flash blurts out "He can talk?", to which Superboy takes offence. Greg implied that this was a deliberate call back to one of Elisa's first reactions to Goliath in "Awakening Part Three".[2]
