Contains spoilers from Young Justice: Outsiders Episodes 10, 11, 12 and 13.

Since returning to screens after its six-year absence, Young Justice has wasted no time reminding viewers why it received such adoration in the first place. Making its comeback earlier this month, the show's new season, 'Outsiders', centred on the outbreak of metahuman trafficking in Markovia - a narrative that progressed rather quickly due to the fact that three new episodes arrived on the DC Universe weekly.

However, this week, the streaming service unveiled four episodes, the last of which served as the midseason finale, bringing an end to the show's first stint since its return.
