10 Best New Cartoons Of The Decade
10. Young Justice
DC’s ability to make fantastic movies has been questionable this past decade, but one thing they’re still solid at is producing brilliant cartoons. Picking up where the likes of Batman Beyond, Justice League Unlimited and Super Friends left off, Young Justice has been another gem in their lineup.
Debuting just as the decade began in 2010, Young Justice took a prolonged break in the middle, leaving six years between Seasons Two and Three. Had it put out more episodes, it might have even clawed up higher.
It certainly borrows from the DC shows of the past, and manages to stay true to the comic books while reinventing certain characters with fresh, often ambitious takes. The standard ‘good guy vs bad guy’ arc is still there, but Young Justice is fully aware that as a modern show, the audience is expecting it to be clever.
Releasing under the shadow of the DCEU and the Arrowverse, plus falling short of DC’s best animated shows, means it might not go down in history. With the exceptional cast of Troy Baker, Bruce Greenwood, Nolan North and Kevin Michael Richardson (to name but a few), it might just deserve to.
