1. An Intriguing New Story

Though the trailer recapped what came before, it also spent a significant amount of time setting up the show's new story — and what an interesting story it looks to be. From what we can gather, it seems like the show's core heroes are no longer the superhero team they once were. However, this will all change when they reunite to stop metahuman trafficking in Markovia. The meta gene played a significant role in some of the show's earliest episodes, so it makes sense that it will finally be the focus in such a major storyline.

While this is a new story, it will also seemingly be linked to the mythology that the show built during its original run. Season 1 focused on the rise of mysterious organisation The Light while Season 2 focused on the arrival of alien invaders The Reach. But it was later revealed that both arcs were connected as The Light was actually responsible for the alien invasion. As Vandal Savage appears in the Outsiders trailer, the villainous faction once again seems to play a major part in Season 3. Thus, their arc will likely be tied to the trafficking storyline.

Young Justice has been commended for its mature writing and strong character arcs, so it's great to see that the writers have wasted no time in developing yet another compelling story for Season 3.
