Get Ready To Feel the Aster

Ten things I want to see in Young Justice season 3.

For those of you that read my recent article on the show Young Justice, you'll recall that I mentioned that there was a possibility of it being renewed. Well, that possibility has become a reality: the prayers and pleadings of fans have fallen on merciful ears, and Young Justice is getting a third season.

It's unclear when that will be released, and whether it'll go through Cartoon Network or Netflix, but right now, I'm just happy to now that my favorite heroes are coming back. And, in honor of this monumental occasion, I've devised a list of things that I'd like to see in season 3. It's not a list of demands or must-haves (honestly, I'm just relieved to get another season), but just some things I'd be interested to see included.

1. Where's Wally?

Listen, I get that people die, and all, but do you seriously expect me to believe that Wally West is dead? There's no way, okay? We all know he's just trapped in the speed force, trying to get out. Having a scene where Barry or Bart finds him and rescues him would be not only heartwarming, but extremely satisfying for anyone who's been reading the DC Rebirth reboot (in which it turns out Wally West was trapped in the speed force and forgotten by all, until Barry found him). In this case, of course, everyone on the team still remembers Wally. I'd like to see a slow build-up of them grieving and trying to way to change his death, only for them to realize he's still alive.

2. The (Re)Birth of Red Hood

The show confirmed that during the time skip, there was another Robin who died, presumably Jason Todd. In comic books, he was killed by the Joker, only to be resurrected via the Lazarus Pit. He then turned into a violent anti-hero known as the Red Hood, who sought to be the antithesis of Batman, using guns and murder to rid Gotham of criminals.

3. Black Canary as the head of the Justice League

At the end of season 2, Captain Atom passed his chairmanship over to Black Canary. I'd like to see how she uses that power, and what kind of leader she is on that scale. I have no doubt that she's going to be a kickass commander.

4. More insane villains

While I'm totally loving the villains already featured inYoung Justice, I'd love to see more. One of the show's best features is that there are basically no limits on which characters it can use, since it's a cartoon and completely free of the restraints that bind the live-action DC TV shows.

I'm particularly hoping to see more of the Flash Rogues, especially since they're a traditionally unique villain team, which is typically only interested in petty theft, and even teams up with the Flash sometimes. I'd love to see a full-blown Rogues line-up on Young Justice, because while I love the versions of Captain Cold and Heatwave (portrayed by Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, respectively) seen on the CW's Arrowverse, most of the Rogues are a lot wackier and outlandish than that medium allows for. But when you're using animation, the sky's the limit with the effects you can create.

5. Titans

Am I over the cancellation of the original Teen Titans? No, no I am not. But as it doesn't look like that's coming back any time soon, in cartoon or live action, I'd settle for more Teen Titans characters showing up in Young Justice. Right now, we're only missing Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven. I'm really hoping the latter shows up eventually, since her story arc (revolving around her demonic father and the prophesy that states she'll destroy the world) has always fascinated me, and would make for a great plotline.

6. Lex Luthor as a member of the UN

One of the unsung virtues of Young Justice is that it managed to create an intelligent and charming version of Lex Luthor, who was affective, but not over the top. At the end of season 2, he masterminded a plan to save the planet from the Reach's plans for destruction, not only saving the world, but also increasing his public image enough that someone suggested he fill an available position on the UN. Knowing Luthor's cunning, he's probably all-too willing to take that opportunity, and I'd love to see what he does with it.

7. More of the Bat-Family

I'll be honest. I don't just want Jason Todd. I want Stephanie Brown, Damian Wayne, Cassandra and Katie Kane, Duke Thomas, the whole shebang (I'll settle for no Terry McGinnis, though). I want to see them become a bigger family, and I want to see more of their interactions with each other, especially since Nightwing is bound to be grieving over the apparent death of his best friend, Wally.

8. John Constantine

Sometimes, I look at shows, and think: You know what this needs? A Cockney-accented, chain-smoking con man and magician! In all honestly, though, I don't see how adding Constantine would be a bad idea (hey, he made the flashbacks in Arrow season 4 tolerable, if only for one episode). Anything mystical and occult is his specialty, so it'd be cool to see Zatanna come to him asking for help releasing her father from Dr. Fate. Or, if Raven appears, it'd be cool to see him function as an authority on her lineage.

9. More Time Travel

Since we've got Bart Allen, who else is waiting around to travel back in time? Eobard Thawne? Inertia? Booster Gold? (On second thought, skip that last one). Since time travel exists in this universe, there's no telling what could happen next. I'd love to see the team, all grown-up, encounter younger versions of themselves and struggle not to tell them about the timeline. Or, better yet, I'd love to see someone try to change the timeline (yes, I know what happens in Flashpoint. What can I say? I'm a glutton for bad consequences).

10. DARKSEID!

Look: Vandal Savage and the Light have been working with Darkseid the entire time. You really expect me to forget about that little bombshell? I mean, hello people: he rules the planet of APOKOLIPS! He wants to conquer the universe! HE'S BASICALLY AN IMMORTAL ALIEN GOD! So, yeah, I want to see more of him. So sue me.

That's about it. Feel free to comment your own suggestions and takes on what you'd like to see in season 3. Until then, stay whelmed, and keep checking the news for info about when new episodes will come out.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
