Want a Young Justice Revival? Here's What You Have To Do

We all miss Young Justice. It was a beautifully animated show with compelling storylines, great voice acting, direction, writing, you name it. Unfortunately, it was cancelled back in 2013 due to it's toy line not selling well enough (which is the problem with action cartoons these days. If the toy line doesn't sell well or you can't make a toy line, the show's plug is pulled. This is what happened with Sym-Bionic Titan).  This obviously didn't sit well with fans. Multiples times this year and last year #BringBackYJ or other hashtags about the show have managed to the reach the top of the trends on both Facebook and Twitter. Former showrunner Greg Weisman (who also worked on The Spectacular Spider-Man and Star Wars: Rebels) says there's still hope for a third season of the show to become a reality. In order to make this happen, here's what you gotta do according to Weisman.


1. KEEP THE SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS GOING
The social media campaigns for the show such as #KeepBingingYT or #BringBackYoungJustice have been working. These hashtags often lead to the show becoming to top trend on Facebook and Twitter. We need to keep this up. The more people see the message, the more support the show will have.


2.  IF YOU HAVE NETFLIX, BINGE WATCH THE SHIT OUT OF THE SHOW
Every view counts. Netflix has basically become a subscription based TV network with the increasing about a original shows and movies coming to the service. It has become a place where cancelled TV shows have a shot at revivals. So if you have Netflix, binge watch the shit out of the show. If the show get's stellar ratings on Netflix, this will attract the attention of the Netflix executives and Warner.




3. BUY THE DVD'S AND BLU-RAYS.
This also a great method of support for the show. If the show has very strong DVD and Blu-Ray sales, this could peak the interest of Warner Bros. to give us more Young Justice. And obviously, buy new copies of the DVD's and Blu-Rays. Warner's not getting any money if you're buying them used.



4. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LIKE BUYING YOUR SHOWS DIGITALLY, BUY THE SHOW ON DIGITAL OUTLETS.
If you like getting your TV show's digitally, buy the show on iTunes, Amazon, Google, or any other digital outlet the show is available for purchase on and binge watch them there. This will have the same effect as buying the DVD's and Blu-Ray's.



5. BUY THE TIE-IN COMICS
While the show was running, there was also a tie-in comic book series that ran along with the show. The series was cancelled after show was cancelled. What you can do is the buy the comics (the comics canon to show, not any other Young Justice series) on comixology or and other digital outlet where the comics are sold. The sales of the tie-in comics will attract the attention of DC, letting them know we want more Young Justice.


According to Weisman, conversations about the show seem to be happening at Warner, and the fact that they're even talking about the show means that these methods are working. The crew who worked on the show are willing to come back and even have a third season all planned out. So if you want Young Justice revived, do one or more of the methods listed above. It's all up to us.
