Still impressive that Jessie McCartney of all people parlayed his teen heartthrob singing career of the 90’s/2000’s in being one of the best Voice Actors out there and is playing effing Robin!

Typically, Kid Flash just takes the Flash mantle when they’re old enough. Either one of the Flash’s is dead, or they just have multiple people take the mantle

This is my favorite version of OG Robin, as he was always supposed to be a lot more of a jovial character versus Batman's brooding. It's one of the reasons I never liked Dick Grayson in Teen Titans, 'cause *that* Robin acted more like Tim Drake or Jason Todd. Young Justice did Dick Grayson perfectly.

Young Justice expands on the DC Universe more than Teen Titans due to being able to use the big name characters like Batman, Superman, etc. The intro kinda tells you who the main crew of this season is. This show is more plot focused than Teen Titans. This Robin is Dick Grayson aka the first, same Robin as the one from the Teen Titans show.

If you guys are curious as to why its called Young Justice and not Teen Titans:
Effectively, the team behind this show took the original concept of the Young Justice Comics from 1998 and used a few small details: Young "Sidekicks" who wanted to make their own team during an attack on the planet, and it kinda just sticked. The original three members were Superboy, a Robin (specifically Tim Drake, the 3rd Robin), and A Speedster named Bart Allen (Clearly related to Barry Allen, the Flash in this specific show. I won't speak much on Bart atm despite loving him a lot.
They didn't stick to really much of the comic runs story, and focused primarily on just having a show that felt like "Teen Titans". Thus, the Robin here is Dick Grayson and we have Wally West as Kid Flash (who in comics is now primarily the main Flash). They also completely changed Superboy's comic personality and design into this one, and I believe? the comics later adopted the design from this show. It could've possibly just happened to happen at the same time though. More accurate depiction of the "90s Superboy" is shown in Reign of the Supermen.
Personally, I like seasons 1 and 2 of Young Justice, and maybe a little bit of season 3, but absolutely hate the directions taken after season 2. Excited to at least see ypur season 1 reactions and hopefully get the season 2 follow up, but all that matters is you guys having fun an enjoying this!
Also small fun fact about Speedy/Roy Harper here: He's... a little fair on his anger. He's quite literally an adult. He wants to be treated with respect and like an adult yet he's belittled and ignored. I feel bad for him, despite his clear violent leaving of the group. While the others are 16 (Aqualad Kid Flash) and 14 (Robin), Speedy/Red Arrow is an 18 year old who is sick of being treated like a kid.

I will get my one and only complaint about this show out of the way right up front: I absolutely *hate* that they took Superboy and put him with Dick's team for this show. He is Tim Drake (Robin #3)'s best friend in a way that they are each integral to one another's stories in the comic and for them to just do Dick Grayson again, because Tim never gets his chance to shine on screen, then add Tim's best friend to the team just infuriated me. Having said that? This show is excellent. Enjoy the ride.

I only wish they had seen more DC comics shows before Young Justice, because the series is a little advanced in terms of characters and plots. Not long ago I emphasized introducing the characters that you should already know, and leaves references in the air, for those in the know. batman TAS, superman TAS, for the introduction of villains, Justice League/Unlimited for the hardcore plots, and brave of the bold to complement.

Well Nightwing was Batman before the New 52 reboot. In fact he stayed Batman and took over Gotham City while Bruce Wayne Batman became more of a global hero. Superboy unfortunately has never escaped the "Boy" title. Aside from a possible future version from the 2003 comics we've never seen him as Superman. But Wally is the only sidekick to be more definitive than their mentor. Wally Wests flash is THE Flash and his version is not only the most powerful but introduced all the most iconic lore around the character.
