    Young Justice is getting better.

    I've really enjoyed the last several episodes. Last night's "Failsafe" was the best of the series so far. It took a an old "what if" story trope and put a different spin on it. It looks like Megan may be set up as a Jean Grey/Phoenix type here. Very interesting.

    It took me a while to warm to this show, but I think they've finally figured out their niche. The characters are all well-defined now.

    My only real gripe now is I hope they address the Superman/Superboy issue soon. I still can't buy Superman acting so indifferent to Conner. Yes, it would be weird to deal with your clone, but Clark's upbringing by the Kents should have taught him to be accepting of people who are different, and come from extraordinary backgrounds, don't you think?

    I wish Mattel had done the regular figures in 3 3/4 size with better articulation. The JLU style figure is outdated in the market, and it doesn't really fit the more anime-action oriented nature of this series.

    I had no problem with the series until last night. After it was over I was like "what just happened?"

      I don't like the dim colors they use to color this cartoon. It's so gloomy or something. It affects me so much, it's difficult for me to even watch this and be entertained. Just not a fan of this 1.

        I like it most of the time, but "Brave and the Bold," is still on-air and that show is so great that it outshines YJ most of the time. I think the writing is picking up, though.

          I'm enjoying it mainly because it's what there is. I'll take this over nothing at all. I do agree Chris - I hope they explore the Superman/Superboy angle more. I did enjoy the Bruce/Dick playing basketball moment.

            I thought last night's episode rocked! The last couple of episodes have been great, too.

              I think they could use a fun episode to kind of break things up. It's a bit TOO heavy. Justice League did some dark, dark stuff, but they also threw in a fun one now and again to break things up.

              I'm going to really miss B&B. In a lot of ways, B&B is the old DCU, and Young Justice is closer to the new.

                The last episode I saw had Artemis attending the same school as Robin. Only she doesn't know who Robin is. But Robin knows who everybody is. Anyway he runs up to her and takes a picture with her and tells her it will be funny later. I was laughing so hard.

                Then if that wasn't cool enough, Barbara Gordon asked him was he was doing!

                  I don't know why they didn't just do another JLA cartoon. Seeing who is guest starring is what's best about this toon.

                      Could it have been Stephanie? Cassie(Wondergirl)? Arrowette(don't remember her real name)?

                        iu really like the show. it's almost as good as the JLU and every week they seem to have some great guest stars. I also like the serialized nature of the show

                          The blond girl next to Babs and Alfred was also seen in the school episode with Dick and Artemis. It's Bette (Bat-Girl/Flamebird) Kane.

                              I refuse to watch it...they should have stuck with B&B and been more loyal with the scheduling...
