11 Most Anticipated Comic Book TV Shows Coming In 2018
3. Young Justice: Outsiders
Warner Bros.
From one group of teenaged heroes to another now, and it's fair to say that fans are very lucky to see Young Justice again.
Having been cancelled in 2013 on account of a lack of toy sales (seriously), fans of the show have been crying out for something similar for some time now. Animated shows have come and gone, but now - almost out of nowhere - a third season is one the way. Featuring returning characters and new additions in Static and Spoiler, Young Justice: Outsiders promises to examine the fallout of the second season and follow the team as they take on a whole new threat, showcasing the different generations of the DCU with the mature approach the show's first run was originally typified by.
Young Justice's brilliance lies in finding that balance, and with the same showrunners returning for this new season, there's definite cause for optimism. Add to that the fact we're getting Static on the small-screen again - over a decade since his original animated series - and you only improve the formula that made the show resonate with so many in the first place.
It's been a long time, but when a show's this good, you know it's worth the wait.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
