A brand new trailer for Young Justices Outsiders was released, revealing a little more about
what we can all expect from the third season of the show that will be premiering on DC’s
new subscription based streaming service, DC Universe.
The trailer starts off with the same news report we saw in the last one, with Kat Grant
doing a piece about the metahuman trafficking issue, and features a lot of the character’s
we’ve come to know and love from the show.
But it also excludes quite a few others.
So today, we’re taking a look at Easter Eggs, references, questions and everything
else that we noticed about the trailer!
Also, stick around to the end of the video, we’ll be reading some comments from one
of our past videos.
Let’s jump in!
New 52 Costumes Many of the characters have gotten a costume
upgrade for season 3, and a LOT of those upgrades are inspired by the New 52.
Many consider this a slightly weird choice since some of the costume designs in the New
52 weren’t overly adored, including Wonder Woman’s, who appears in a shot as a hologram
wearing none other than her New 52 get up.
Which Robin is it?
One of the biggest questions we have about the new trailer is concerning Robin, and which
Robin it is underneath the mask.
Is it Tim Drake, or Damian Wayne?
Based off the costume alone, it’s a bit difficult to tell.
Considering many of the costume designs featured in the trailer are pulling from the DCAU New
52 designs, one would think that perhaps that detail could shine some light on this question.
But, Robin, who is featured towards the end of the trailer in a battle shot, is wearing
a costume whose body suit looks like Tim Drake’s New 52 threads, but has a hood, like Damian
Wayne’s New 52 outfit.
Many think that because Damian is the current Robin in the comics, it would make sense for
him to be Robin the show, but then what about Tim?
That being said, Tim was Robin in season 2 after Dick Grayson transitioned into Nightwing.
The Heroes you Demanded There’s a whole lot to take in in terms
of characters in this trailer.
Let’s start with who we do see in the trailer.
From the previous trailer, we knew that we would be introduced to Terra, who is depicted
as the princess who is missing in the opening news report.
Her brother Geoforce is prominently featured, not only as a marked metahuman, but also in
a scene where he seems to be struggling with controlling his powers.
He bursts into flames, and then ends up naked, and its good for a chuckle.
While it’s for comic relief, it also signifies that the Light has likely been activating
the dormant powers of metahumans on Earth, and Geoforce, who hasn’t learnt of his powers
yet, is just discovering them at the beginning of the season.
Now, let’s talk about whose missing.
Fans are incredibly optimistic that the tagline at the end of the trailer, The Heroes You
Demanded But that raises some questions.
Will Kid flash Wally West be returning?
Fans are hopeful that he’s just trapped in the speed force rather than dead.
We did get to see a shot of Bart Allen in his new kid flash outfit though.
There was also a notable absence from Miss Martian yet again in this trailer, but fear
not friends, her voice actor is confirmed to be part of the cast.
So perhaps the lack of reveal on her part may play into something important in the shows
plot.
Aqualad was also absent, and so was Beast Boy, and Jason Todd’s Red Hood.
Not Avatar There’s an exchange about a minute into
the trailer that takes place between Nightwing, Superboy, their team and a villain.
This villain is NOT Iroh from Avatar, which has been largely contested in the comments
on the trailer’s YouTube video.
Or joked about.
We sincerely hope y’all were joking.
Rather, this antagonist, who tells them that their trespassing must be punished, is a brand
new villain.
Who could he be?
He looks a little bit like David Hersch, who was a Flash Villain in the New Earth continuity.
And in another shot, we can see on the back of his jacket that there’s a pointed triskelion
symbol.
But other than that, we’re personally at a loss for who he could be.
But he’s definitely not from Avatar, friends.
The Green Blast At around the 1:23 mark of the trailer, as
Blue Beetle is fighting off an alien foe, there’s a quick moment where a green blast
interjects in the frame.
Who could it be from?
A popular fan theory is that it’s Starfire, whose Starbolts are traditionally green, and
have also be represented as that colour in the teen titans animated series.
It could be Halo, who is one of the new additions to this season, and comes from the Batman
Outsiders comics.
Her powers in the comics consist of various different coloured auras that can be used
for energy blasts, and in the comics, her green beams are stasis beams.
Generally in the comics though, the green stasis halo she created would protect her
from being immobilized.
Alternatively, this could be another sign of Miss Martian, but that seem as likely as
the other two.
Alright that’s it for now folks!
What else do you all notice from the new Young Justice trailer?
Give us a shout in the comments below and let us know your thoughts!
Speaking of comments, lets read off some of what you guys said on our Top 10 alternate
Versions of superheroes 2018 video!
From Comic book yugioh life entertainer magarine (mar-ja-rine), “The batman who laughs should
be at least number one in my book, not number 3.
Also you should have put in all the Batman mashups from Dark Nights metal in this video.
I’m very disappointed to not see the Devastator and all the other Batman mashups in this video.”
We actually toyed with the idea of putting the Batman Who Laughs in at number one!
The reason why we didn’t include more was because Dark Nights Metal came out initially
in the summer of 2017, so we wanted to focus more so on the ones that debuted in 2018.
We actually have a list of Batman alternates on our channel that covers every single one
of the Batman alternates, so if you get the chance, head on over to it and check it out!
You won’t be disappointed.
Next up, from Queercore Central, “If soldier supreme is made into a movie, Hulk Hogan has
to play him.”
HAH!
Oh boy, I can actually see that.
It’s mildly terrifying, but also totally works.
And finally, from trex advent, “Iron Hammer, arachknight and Ghost Panther look awesome.
How would it be if they appeared in the MCU?”
If they were in the MCU sh*t would go DOWN my friend!
That would be one hell of a film.
Maybe when Marvel Studios runs out of iconic storylines from the comics, they’ll hop
on adapting this series.
Fingers crossed.
That’s it for now folks!
