After years in suspense, Young Justice followers will lastly see the present’s story, which ended with loads of unanswered questions, proceed as its creators meant.
The central themes of Young Justice embrace the superhero legacy and the superhero household. Legacies are handed from mentor to sidekick, and the superhero household grows. These themes are solidified by the soar from the primary season of Young Justice into the second, titled Young Justice: Invasion. 5 years of in-universe time handed between the 2 seasons, enable a brand new crop of heroes – together with a brand new Robin, Beast Boy, Blue Beetle, Batgirl, Wonder Girl, and others – to make their mark and be a part of the Staff.
We’re hoping that we see extra of this when Young Justice Season 3 premieres. It is not that we do not love the character already current in Young Justice, however there are such a lot of nice younger characters from the DC Universe we might like to see be a part of the Staff. To that finish, we selected seven that we might particularly like to see in Young Justice Season 3s.

Supergirl
Some would possibly name Supergirl a bandwagon selection, however there isn’t any denying that the Girl of Metal is as standard as she’s ever been due to the Supergirl TV sequence on The CW. Why not carry a few of that magic to animation as effectively?
In reality, Supergirl has already made a mark on DC Animation. She was a key character within the Superman/Batman: Apocalypse animated film, however one of the best animated Supergirl thus far was the launched to the outdated DC Animated Universe in Superman: The Animated Sequence and had an awesome character arc in Justice League Limitless.
Supergirl in Young Justice can be set other than her live-action tv counterpart by age, together with her being portrayed as a youngster of age with the remainder of the Staff. Superboy may assist set her other than her earlier animated model as effectively, together with her being mentored by each Superman and Conner. This may additionally present and attention-grabbing character arc for Superboy, who would possible view Supergirl with suspicion and even jealousy at first, given she would have all the Kryptonian talents that Superman whereas Superboy is proscribed by the human portion of his DNA. In time, we think about he’d come to take a look at Supergirl as a sort of little sister.

Damian Wayne
All through its first two seasons, Young Justice already established the position of Robin, the Boy Wonder to Batman’s Dark Knight, as a legacy. The unique Robin, Dick Grayson, was one of many founders of the Staff and graduated to crew chief within the persona of Nightwing by the point Young Justice: Invasion premiered.
Throughout the 5 years between the primary season of Young Justice and Young Justice: Invasion, Jason Todd had taken over because the second Robin. Nevertheless, by the point Young Justice: Invasion begins, Jason has died and Tim Drake has taken over as the present Robin.
For Young Justice Season 3, we’re hoping that the Robin legacy continues to develop. Nightwing stepped down as chief of the Staff within the finale of Young Justice: Invasion, that means there’s room for Tim Drake to step up, maybe in his Red Robin persona.
That may additionally go away room for the introduction of the present DC Comics Robin, Batman’s son Damian Wayne. Damian has been a fixture of the DC Comics Universe for years and has appeared within the DC Comics animated film universe a number of occasions. Nevertheless, these tales are likely to deal with his relationship with Batman, be it his father or Dick Grayson sporting the cowl.
Damian in Young Justice Season 3 would supply the character a possibility to play with some children his personal age and expertise actual, wholesome relationships along with his friends, assuming he can tone down his personal depth and conceitedness lengthy sufficient to get to know them. His presence would additionally supply a possibility to additional discover what it means to Robin, not only for him, however for Tim and Dick and even the fallen Jason as effectively.

Cassandra Cain
Cassandra Cain has been forged in a number of roles within the DC Comics Universe. She was as soon as a brand new Batgirl, then briefly took the identify Black Bat as an agent of Batman Integrated. She has since been reintroduced into the DC Comics’ New 52 Universe as the hardly verbal murderer known as Orphan.
We think about the introduction of Cassie Cain into Young Justice Season 3 to be one thing of a mixture of her Orphan persona (no have to kick Barbara Gordon out of the Batgirl position) and a Teen Titans comedian e-book storyline that noticed the Titans’ archnemesis Deathstroke the Terminator forming a “Teen Titans East” crew of younger villains to battle the true Teen Titans, with a brainwashed Cassie Cain (then nonetheless Batgirl) as their discipline chief.
For Young Justice Season 3 we think about Cassie can be launched as an antagonist, maybe as a brand new agent of the Mild, who proves lethal harmful, however finally is introduced round to the facet of the angels by the continued outreach of assorted members of the Staff.

Starfire
There is a hazard of constructing Young Justice a bit too much like Teen Titans. The tone, at this level, is totally different sufficient to not fear there, however followers most likely do not need to see the Staff grow to be too overrun with Teen Titans members, notably those that already starred in a present of their very own.
The Staff already has Nightwing and Beast Boy, however we might nonetheless wish to see Starfire make an look in Young Justice Season 3. Nevertheless, we do not actually see her as a member of the Staff, however extra of an outlier.
Starfire is thought for being a free spirit. We anticipate that, after arriving on Earth, she might chafe on the constraints of being on the Staff and dealing beneath the Justice League. She could also be extra comfy flying solo.
Or perhaps she’d do higher with a accomplice? Within the New 52 DC Universe, Starfire was a member of the Outlaws alongside Arsenal, a personality who definitively went solo on the finish of Young Justice: Invasion. Arsenal’s story is one which wants some additional exploration and the delivery of the Outlaws as a rival hero group to the Staff, particularly if Jason Todd finally ends up resurrected because the Red Hood, might be an thrilling technique to go.
There’s additionally the on-again, off-again romance between Starfire and Nightwing, which might be enjoyable to discover in Young Justice.

Raven
So, about that complete “let’s not overload the present with Teen Titans members” factor…
Raven might be a enjoyable addition to the Staff and, with Zatanna now a member of the Justice League, may present some wanted magical muscle.
Extra importantly, Raven may present hooks for extra magical Young Justice storylines. A few of the greatest episodes of and long-term plots of Young Justice have revolved round magical characters and artifacts, just like the Helmet of Destiny possessing its wearer to grow to be the brand new Physician Destiny and the frequent hijinks of Klarion the Witch Boy.
Raven gives her personal magical powers, that are tied to her feelings and subsequently to her emotional journey. On prime of all of that, her father is the demonic ruler of a hell dimensions who want to use Raven as a gateway to beat Earth, so there’s story potential there.
