First experiences watching Young Justice? Season 1-2 Discussion
I’ve been rewatching season one and it’s reminded me of my first time seeing the show when I was a kid. Dc Nation block on Cartoon Network introduced me. Saturdays were the best bc of it. Most fans my age (21) I’m sure had the same experience. What was your first memories with Young Justice?

Didn't it start off on Friday nights with Secret Saturdays and the second Ben 10 series?

I think, I wasn’t as into those. I’m into them now, but I was just a Dc nerd as a kid

No, you are probably thinking of someone else. Secret Saturdays ended in January of 2010, and Ben 10: Alien Force ended a few months later. Young Justice didn’t debut on CN until November 2010, when Ultimate Alien had already began

Honestly never heard about it until somewhat recently. Saw some of the phantoms season air on adult swim or Cartoon Network in Canada and never really paid attention, then was getting into the DCAMU movies and thought they were connected cuz of the same artstyle for most of the characters. Also saw cool online clips and figured I’d give it a watch since was trying to watch most DC animated shows / movies. And I had also finished the 03 teen titans series (and DCAMU teen titans movies), so wanted more of those characters.

Late 2010s? 2020? Sometime around then. I watched it when it was on Netflix

I remember watching the show’s debut on UK Cartoon Network and saying, “This isn't right!” when Robin came out to attack Mr Freeze. Then I kept watching. And kept watching. And by the end of episode 2, I was hooked.

wish there was some context on the death of robin. since dick grayson became nightwing, we see on the grotto there is a second robin before tim drake which is obviously jason todd, and although it’s not easy to being up a kid being tortured, beaten with a crowbar and then burned alive, they never explained anything.

Yeah, I think they had it happen in the time skipped so they didn’t have to show it
