Young Justice Outsiders Reveals New Characters

Young Justice is finally on its way back!

After a long hiatus, DC is bringing back one of its most beloved animated series in the form of Young Justice: Outsiders. The new series will launch on DC’s new streaming service in 2018, and fans can’t wait to see what’s in store.

If you’re having trouble waiting another year to see more from Young Justice, DC has just unveiled the first look at Outsiders at San Diego Comic-Con.

The image released shows the line-up of characters in the show and the new styles they’re donning as the series returns. There are also some major characters missing from this piece.

Let’s break it down.

New Additions

Towards the right side of the image, next to Arsenal, you’ll notice a character named Arrowette. While not new to the comic world, she’s definitely a fresh face to the TV series. 

Spoiler is seen in this image, donning a spooky purple cape and mask.

The biggest of the new additions comes in the form of Thirteen, a character created specifically for Outsiders. 

Thirteen is wearing a military-esque outfit, and positioned between Blue Beetle and Arrowette.

Returning Faces

Fans knew they could expect the returns of some of their favorite characters, and this first image certainly confirms that’s the case.

For DC comics fans, the most notable addition to the Young Justice line-up has got to be Static. The character is pictured on the far left of the line-up, and he’s got a slightly more grounded look than you might have expected.

On the left side of the line-up, Kid Flash and Robin are pictured. Their additions come as no surprise, seeing as they were long-time characters on the original series.

Arsenal, Blue Beetle, and Wonder Girl are also making a return to the series, as they make their debuts in the image.

While all of these returning characters are exciting, there are some glaring omissions to the cast.

Who’s Missing?

The most obvious character missing from this image is Aqualad, and it’s easy to wonder why he’s not pictured. Actor Khary Payton has talked about returning to voice Aqualad – who was a mainstay of the original series – but he’s nowhere to be found. 

Is there a chance the character could be coming at a later date?

Aqualad isn’t the only major team member missing from this Young Justice line-up. The group of Superboy, Miss Martian, and Artemis are sadly missing.

Only time will tell if these characters will return to the series.
