Hace casi un mes que vi esta serie bajo recomendación de Oneyros. He de decir que de primeras no me llamaba demasiado la atención aunque hubiera seguido algunas etapas de los Teen Titans o incluso de Young Justice, aunque esta serie no esta basada directamente en esos cómics (aunque tiene algún que otro guiño a ellos).
El argumento.-
Creada por Greg Weisman y Brandon Vietti (y emitida en Cartoon Network en EEUU, creo que en España han sacado algún DVD con parte de los episodios) la historia se centra en los jóvenes "Sidekicks" de los grandes héroes de la JLA. Todo comienza cuando parte de ellos (Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash y Speedy) esperaban entrar en la Liga de la Justicia, ser ascendidos de simples ayudantes a héroes, aunque simplemente les dan acceso a ciertas partes como la Biblioteca o el gimnasio, Speedy reacciona mal a esa falta de confianza y renuncia a ser el ayudante de Green Arrow, lo que hace que el resto de los sidekicks reflexionen sobre la falta de confianza de sus mentores. Momentos después surgen dos emergencias, por lo que la Liga elige acudir a la que a su juicio es más grave. Robin, Kid Flash y Aqualad deciden ayudar en la otra emergencia para demostrar que también son héroes. Lo que se suponía que sería simplemente un fuego les hace descubrir mucho más en los laboratorios de un edificio de Cadmus. Allí descubren varios niveles subterráneos secretos y en uno de ellos encuentran a un clon de Superman al que deciden liberar, Superboy (además también encuentran a otros seres que han cread llamados Genomorphs). Como os podéis imaginar el grupo se tendrá que enfrentar en un primer momento a Superboy aunque después lograrán convencerlo para que se una a ellos.
Al final del episodio, además de descubrir el grupo de villanos que controlaba (controla) Cadmus, "The light", los jóvenes sidekicks consiguen el respeto de sus respectivos mentores, quienes deciden formar un grupo de misiones encubiertas compuesto por ellos y por alguien más, Miss Martian (M'gann M'orzz) y supervisado por la Liga de la Justicia (al principio será por Tornado rojo aunque más adelante otros héroes aparecerán para supervisarlos como el Capitán Marvel o Canario Negro). Unos episodios más adelante se les unirá Artemis (y en los últimos episodios tendrán a otros dos miembros, Zatanna y Rocket)
No son los héroes que conocemos.-
En general sí que lo son, aunque hay que tener en cuenta que la serie no se desarrolla en el Universo DC "normal" (algo difícil de calificar con el reciente reboot de todo su Universo), sino en la Tierra 16. Los principales cambios que podemos apreciar son los vistos en Aqualad, quien en esta Tierra no es Garth, sino que es encarnado por Kaldur'ahm (quien fue creado para esta serie aunque también fue introducido en el antiguo universo DC por Geoof Johns e Ivan Reis en el cuarto número de Brightest Day como Jackson Hyde, pero creo que aún no fue introducido en el nuevo Universo DC), quien será inicialmente el líder del grupo debido a su mayor edad y mayor experiencia (en cuanto a Robin la otra opción lógica).
Otro de los cambios que podemos apreciar se da en el personaje de Robin, quien es encarnado en la primera temporada por Dick Grayson, aunque su personalidad es una mezcla de la del propio Dick con la del tercer Robin, Tim Drake.
Por último, Superboy, quien también adopta la identidad de Conner Kent, tiene menos poderes que su contrapartida en el universo "normal", no puede volar ni tiene visión de calor. También habría que hablar de Artemis, la arquera del grupo, de oscuro pasado. SPOILERS Hija del villano Sportsmaster y la antigua villana Huntress además de hermana de otra villana, Chesire, FIN DE SPOILERS. Por lo demás, no encontramos prácticamente ningún cambio en especial en las personalidades de Miss Martian y Kid Flash (Wally West).
Aunque seáis Marvel Zombies, o simplemente no os interese demasiado el universo DC deberíais darle una oportunidad. La serie está muy bien escrita y engancha poco a poco, aunque tenga una narración de misión por capítulo hay grandes tramas que se desarrollan a lo largo de la serie y hay un gran trabajo en cuanto a los personajes, a los que ves evolucionar capítulo a capítulo. Además nos presentan numerosos personajes y elementos del universo DC.
Por último no se puede decir nada malo de la animación, al contrario, es de gran calidad, y es que aunque me guste mucho The Avengers: EMH, Young Justice la supera en este aspecto, ya podían lograr esa calidad de animación que tenemos en esta serie.
Young Justice Invasion (SPOILERS).-
La segunda temporada de la serie (de la que se han emitido siete capítulos aunque no sé sabe cuando volverá) añade Invasion a su título ya que como os podéis imaginar hay una "pequeña" invasión extraterrestre. Han pasado cinco años desde los eventos narrados en el último capítulo (donde varios miembros de la Liga de la Justicia eran controlados mentalmente y desaparecieron durante unas horas sin saber qué hicieron). Algunos miembros no están y otros nuevos han tomado el relevo en el grupo liderado por Nightwing: Superboy, M'gann, Beast Boy (Garfield Logan), La’gaan, Robin (Tim Drake),
Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), Bumblebee (Karen
Beecher) y Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark), además de otros que se irán uniendo (como Impulso, Bart Allen). La calidad sigue presente y la trama apunta a ser más que interesante.
Seas o no fan de DC es una serie que deberías ver.
Valoración: 8.5-9/10
Almost a month ago I saw this series. I must say that at first I wasn't too interested in watch it but I had followed some stories of the Teen Titans and even some of Young Justice, but this series is not based directly on those comics (though it has some kind of homages/tributes).
Plot.-
Created by Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti (and aired on Cartoon Network), tells the story of the young "Sidekicks" of the great heroes of the JLA. It all starts when some of them (Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash and Speedy) expected to enter in the Justice League, being promoted from simple assistants to real first class heroes, but they simply give them access to certain parts like the library or the gym, so Speedy reacts badly to the lack of confidence and he resigns, he doesn't want to keep living just as Green Arrow's sidekick, which makes the rest of the sidekicks to think about the lack of trust of their mentors. Moments later two emergencies arise, the League chooses to go to the one that in their opinion is more serious. Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad decide to help with the other emergency to prove that they are heroes too. What was supposed to be just a fire makes them discover much more in the laboratories of a Cadmus building. There they discover several secret underground levels and in one of them they find a clone of Superman who they decide to free, Superboy (in addition, they also found other beings who have been called Genomorphs). As you can imagine the group will fight against the clone at first but later they will convince him to join them.
They are not the heroes we know. -
In general, yes they are, but you must take into account that the series does not develop in the "normal" DC Universe (something difficult to describe after the recent reboot of the entire universe), it happens in Earth 16. The main changes that we can see are those seen in Aqualad, who on this earth is not Garth, he is Kaldur'ahm (who was created for this series but was also introduced in the previous Universe DC by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis in the fourth issue of Brightest Day as Jackson Hyde, but he hasn't appeared in the new one), who will initially be the group leader due to be older and more experienced (than Robin, the logical choice).
The second change that we see is something with Robin, who is incarnate by by Dick Grayson (in the first season), but his personality is a blend of Dick's own with the third Robin, Tim Drake.
Finally, Superboy, who also assumes the identity of Conner Kent, has less powers than his counterpart in the "normal" universe, he can't fly and doesn't have the heat vision. I should also mention Artemis, the archer of the group, with a dark past. SPOILERS daughter of the villain Sportsmaster and Huntress, and her old sister who is as well other villain, Cheshire, END OF SPOILERS. Moreover, we found virtually no special change in the personalities of Miss Martian and Kid Flash (Wally West).
Virtues. -
Even if you are Marvel Zombie, or you are not interested in the DC universe you must give it a try. This series is very well written and you'll get hooked soon, even they have a mission every episode (that last just for the same episode) it has also bigger arcs developed throughout the series and they do a great job in terms of characters, who evolve every episode. In addition we have numerous characters and elements of the DC universe.
Finally, you can not say anything bad about the animation, in fact it is of great quality and even although I really like The Avengers: EMH, Young Justice surpasses them in this respect.
Young Justice Invasion (SPOILERS). -
The second season of the series (of which seven chapters have been aired but I don't know when It will get back) Invasion (added to its title because as you can imagine there is a "small" alien invasion). Five years have passed since the events narrated in the last episode (where several members of the Justice League were mind-controlled and disappeared for a few hours without knowing what they did). There are some new members and some of the old ones have left the group led now by Nightwing (Dick): Superboy, M'gann, Beast Boy (Garfield Logan), La'gaan, Robin (Tim Drake), Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), Bumblebee (Karen Beecher) and Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark) and others that will be joining the team (as Impulse, Bart Allen). The quality is still great and the plot seems more than interesting.
