NOW PLAYING: YOUNG JUSTICE

I'm not much of a comic book nerd, but when I do read comics it's usually DC. So when I heard Cartoon Network was releasing a new cartoon based on the DC Universe, I was more excited than a 12 year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert. Details of the cartoon below:
Young Justice focuses on the lives of a group of teenaged superhero sidekicks and protégés attempting to establish themselves as proven superheroes and as teenagers dealing with adolescent issues grounded in the context of their personal lives.
It's similar to the Teen Titans series that came out a while back, but this is more serious and the drawing style is more American. Teen Titans' style was more based on anime, even the theme song was sung by a Japanese girl band.

My favorite characters in this series so far are Aqualad and Kid Flash. I like Aqualad because he's a badass, and he makes me think I should really give Aquaman a second chance. Kid Flash is just funny, and the chemistry between him and Robin is always fun.

If you haven't watched it yet, you can check the first episode here. [link]

    @Chris

    The black guy, Aqualad, has these two whips made out of water that he keeps in a backpack like thing. They can transform to any shape, he usually uses blades, whips, or a shield.
