Yes! The rumors are officially confirmed! Young Justice Season 3 is happening, as confirmed by Warner Bros. Animation. The fans have been waiting for a long time, pleading for the renewal of the animated series and their patience has paid off.
Warner Bros. Animation confirmed the news about Young Justice Season 3 becoming a reality and said that the series was already in production. The first season of Young Justice aired on Cartoon Network, back in 2013.
The show faced cancellation after the first two seasons despite enjoying an excellent rating. Slash Films reported that the primary reason for the show’s axing was that the female viewers weren’t buying the merchandize and hence they wanted to focus on younger kids, especially boys.
Ever since then Young Justice premiered on Netflix and gathered further support. According to MTV, president of Warner Bros. Animation, Sam Register, said that there were a large number of fans who wanted Young Justice to come back.
Since Netflix is already streaming the last two episodes of Young Justice, rumors suggest that the network might go ahead and release the third season.
The support that they showed towards the series forced Warner Bros. Animation to change their initial decision and get the animated series back for the third season.
Sam Register is confident that Young Justice Season 3 will garner support from newer fans as well. Season 2 of Young Justice left a lot of questions unanswered and fans are waiting for Season 3 to pick up those strands.
Cinema Blend reported that there are quite a few mysteries that need to be solved before Young Justice Season 3 can progress with their plot. While Warner Bros. Animation has confirmed new twists and threats in the upcoming season, they haven’t disclosed what’s in store for the Teen Titans.
The announcements regarding the details about the plot along with the premiere date and the network will happen subsequently. Reports suggest that Brandon Vietti, who has been the writer/producer for Batman: Under the Red Hood and Greg Weisman from Star Wars Rebels, will be back to work on Young Justice for the third season.
Young Justice Season 1 had taken place in 2010. When the second season returned, six years had passed and the time was 2016. Given the trend of a time jump, there’s speculation that Season 3 will also show a significant time leap given the gap between the two seasons.
Rumors suggest that if there is a time jump, there will be a lot of changes in the DC universe. It would no longer be possible for Bruce Wayne to remain active as the Batman. In such a situation, knowing the timeline of Young Justice Season 3 will put a lot of things into perspective.
One of the most interesting twists in Young Justice Season 2: Invasion was when Artemis decides to embrace the persona of the Tigress while giving up her status of the archer. The main reason for this move was to cope with the loss of Wally West.
However, this decision is bound to have an impact in the DC universe. Young Justice Season 3 might deal with this plot. The Tigress is a villain and given that Artemis has a connection with villains like Huntress, Sportsmaster, and Cheshire, thanks to her family, it isn’t difficult to presume that she might head the wrong way.
While Artemis has assumed that Wally West is dead, the fans believe that Wally West is missing and not dead. He was sucked into the Speed Force while trying to stop the Magnetic Field Disrupter. There is a chance that Wally West might return in Season 3 of Young Justice.
