Young Justice 1.01

Independence Day

Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, and Speedy are brought to the Hall of Justice in Washington, DC for the first time. They are under the impression that they are going to be given full access and going forward be treated as peers by their mentors. They are mistaken. Speedy storms off disgusted, after revealing to the others what Green Arrow told him: the Justice League's real headquarters is secret satellite called the Watch Tower.

The other three stick around but are left behind when their mentors take off on a mission. Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash don't sit around for very long. Instead they head to Project Cadmus after getting a report of a fire. After helping to rescue a couple scientists they discover an elevator that goes 52 floors below ground. They also see some things that look very not kosher, including a teenage clone of Superman. He is being kept in what looks like a cryogenic sleep.

After they free the clone he attacks them. They try to talk him down but he is relentless. He keeps fighting with them until he has them all down for the count.

This is my third time watching this season on Young Justice. I really enjoyed it both previous times. This episode is not the best but it does a very nice job of setting the table. The focus is all on the guys in the team. At this point there are no gals on the team but there soon will be.
