  This is the trailer for season four of Young Justice. I think it might be the best written TV show, live-action or animated, of the past few years.
   
  

  Quote:Young Justice is an American superhero animated television series developed by Brandon Vietti and Greg Weisman for Cartoon Network. Despite its title, it is not a direct adaptation of Peter David, Todd Dezago and Todd Nauck's Young Justice comic series, but rather an original story set in the DC Universe with a focus on teenage and young adult superheroes.
  
  The series follows the lives of teenage superheroes and sidekicks, namely Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Superboy, Red Arrow, Miss Martian, and Artemis, who are members of a fictional covert operation group referred to simply as 'the team' (but bear resemblance to the Teen Titans). Within the show, the team is a group of young heroes attached to the famous adult team, the Justice League, but operating outside of the bureaucracy that constrains the more established superhero team. The main setting is a fictional universe apart from the previous DCAU and other continuities (designated at one point as Earth-16) during a time period in which superheroes are a relatively recent phenomenon, and supervillains have all began working in tandem in a grand conspiracy on behalf of a cabal of key villains known as The Light.

  These 4 episode story arcs so far this season have been an interesting and creative storytelling structure. The first arc with Miss Martian, Superboy and Beast Boy was cool, and it was nice to see how Mars' societal structure is similar to Earth's. The second story arc with Artemis was my favourite so far. It was really cool to see a more noir-ish and crime thriller style plot. This current arc with Zatanna is really cool too, and I like how it also has a sub-plot centred around Vandal Savage. I can't wait to see the story arcs they've got for Nightwing, Aquaman and Rocket. I'm confident they can tie it all together in a satisfying conclusion at the end of the season.

  The Zatarra backstory was great. Seeing his origin and the stress of becoming Dr Fate was fantastic. Zatana is one of my favourite members of the team, and her powers give a fresh feel to the action scenes. The progression of her character now becoming a mentor to Mary, Khalid and Tracy is fantastic writing. Klarion being defeated and trying to fight his way back via a school bus was funny and also interesting in how that bus has briefly appeared in different scenes throughout the series. It would've been nice if this arc ended in this episode, and a new one would start next week with Nightwing, Aquaman or Rocket. Also the Beastboy subplot will hopefully conclude soon too.

  The mid-season finale was pretty good. It was interesting to see the conclusion to the Dr Fate storyline and how the mantle will be passed amongst Zatanna, Zatara, Khalid and Tracey. Zatanna cutting out Mary will have repercussions. Vandal working to readdress the balance was a good story point, and it'll be cool to see how it effects The Light and Darkseid. My favourite story arc in the first half of the season was Artemis'. I'm just hoping they can tie up all these plot points at the end of the season, and also give story arcs to Nightwing, Aquaman and Rocket.

  The second part of season four has got off to a strong start after it's mid-season break. Releasing three episodes in one go was a nice surprise. This arc was centred around Kaldur and Atlantis. But it also included subplots on Garth's battle with depression, Violet learning about Islam and Connor's quest to escape purgatory. I hoping the next story arc is about Rocket, and then the season will most likely conclude with a Nightwing story arc. I was initially slightly sceptical with the narrative structure they used this season, but it looks like they're now starting to tie everything together.

  Episode seventeen
  
  The conclusion to the Kaldur story arc was very satisfying. The mission with Kaldur seeking the crown was good. The situation with Megan and Arthur looking into Orm's past was interesting. The mystery surrounding the return of the King was uncovered. Mera taking the throne was well deserved. Vandal's plot being foiled will lead to retribution. Lex being the possible saviour of Connor is interesting.

  Episode eighteen
  
  It's the beginning of a new story arc, and this time it's centred around Rocket. We see her raising her autistic son, prior to going on a mission to New Genesis with Jay Garrick and Forager. It feels a little similar to M'Gann's arc in the sense that there appears to be a greater conspiracy going on that the team has to solve. Darkseid makes a cameo, so he'll probably be back by the the time this arc concludes. There is also a continuation of Superboy's subplot, which has now revealed that he is stuck in the Phantom Zone.

  Episode nineteen
  
  All the story threads throughput the season so far, started to become tied together now. We can now see what led up to Superboy's death, who caused it, why they did it, where he is and how the Legion of superheroes are trying to fix it. All those questions were delved into via two exposition scenes taking place on Earth and New Genesis at the same time. The main plot revolved around Razer's conflict with being a Blue or Red Lantern, which was a good story for fans of the Green Lantern animated show.

  Episode twenty
  
  It was good to see Garth meet with Black Canary and open up about his issues. Hopefully this is the beginning of him overcoming his problems. The Superboy in the phantom zone subplot progressed further, and hopefully they'll now escape. The main plot with Rocket seems like it'll tie everything together, now that  Zod's son got the phantom zone device.

  Episode twenty one
  
  This might be my favourite episode of the season so far. The action was exciting and the drama was tense. The inclusion of Green Lanterns and Kryptonians into the mix has increased the tensions. The rise of one lantern and the fall of another was unexpected. Now we'll see how the season will end soon.
