Young Justice: The New Gods of Supertown by Jerry Whitworth   Since the announcement of Young Justice returning for a third season, no further news has emerged. However, it’s with little doubt this coming season will deal heavily with the New Gods. Children of the Old Gods of Urgrund whose planet split into two new worlds, namely Apokolips and New Genesis, the New Gods are ancient beings of vast power. Thus far, New Gods of Apokolips such as Desaad, Glorious Godfrey, and Darkseid have appeared (as well as their Earth-based organization Intergang) in Young Justice.

#WeLiveAgain: The Return of Gargoyles? by Jerry Whitworth   Following the success of #RenewYoungJustice in bringing back Young Justice for a third season, show runner Greg Weisman is trying to resurrect another of his cult favorite series… well, sort of. When Weisman was Director of Series Development at Disney’s Television Animation Division, he would be inspired by the series Adventures of the Gummi Bears and the film Gremlins to create a comedic series about little medieval creatures brought into the present.

Young Justice: The New Gods of Apokolips by Jerry Whitworth   While no further news has emerged regarding the return of the series Young Justice for a third season, with little doubt the New Gods of Apokolips will have a notable presence. Teased as an ally to the Light since the first season episode “Bereft” which introduced the character Sphere (a Super-Cycle from New Genesis), Young Justice would subsequently introduce Intergang (Apokolips’ Earth-based operatives), Desaad (Apokolips’ chief scientist), Glorious Godfrey (Apokolips’ propagandist), and inevitably Darkseid himself (ruler of Apokolips and its New Gods). Part of what is known as the Fourth World...
