YOUNG JUSTICE: OUTSIDERS Teaser Announces the Premiere Date
DC Universe has released a new teaser for the long-awaited animated series Young Justice: Outsiders. As we see the Earth come into view in the teaser, another object takes over the focus, and it's none other than Apokolips.
The main purpose of the trailer, though, is to reveal that the series will premiere on January 4th, 2019. So we won’t have to wait much longer folks!
The superhero line-up in the series includes Static, Kid Flash, Robin, Wonder Girl, Spoiler, Blue Beetle, Thirteen, Arrowette, Arsenal, and Beast Boy. There are also other characters that will appear. Producer Greg Weisman previously confirmed, “Batman and the Outsiders, I suppose, is a big one. Specifically for the first few episodes.”
Producer Brandon Vietti also teased a few other things that we can expect from the series saying, “We’re kind of riffing on that, doing our Earth-16 version of that story. Our entire series has been granted by DC the designation of Earth-16 and we really lean into that. There are a lot of reminders of that throughout the season. The number ‘16’ pops up quite a lot.” He went on to say:
“It also allows us to kind of riff on the comic books rather than have to stick to them very faithfully. What we try to do is at least really pay respect to the characters or storylines that we’re riffing off of so that hardcore fans really feel that respect but also can be surprised. The hardcore fans that know these stories and know these characters inside and out, we want something new and something fresh, a different take. And then for new people coming onboard hopefully they’ll be able to see our stuff and go backward and see what the source material was and rediscover the DC Universe as we have.”
There’s a lot of cool stuff to look forward to! Here’s the synopsis:
In Young Justice: Outsiders, the teenage Super Heroes of the DC Universe come of age in an animated world of super-powers, Super-Villains and super secrets. In the highly anticipated new season, the team faces its greatest challenge yet as it takes on meta-human trafficking and the terrifying threat it creates for a society caught in the crossfire of a genetic arms race spanning the globe and the galaxy. Equally praised by critics and viewers for its impressive visuals and rich storytelling, Young Justice reached more than 25 million unique viewers in each of its two seasons on Cartoon Network. This passionate fan support set the stage for the new third season.
The series is being executive produced by Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!, Justice League Action) and Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under the Red Hood, Superman Doomsday), and Greg Weisman (Star Wars Rebels, Gargoyles) will also produce.
Young Justice: Outsiders will be coming to DC Universe on January 4th! If the teaser below isn’t enough for you, you can always click here and watch the previously released 5-minute trailer.
