“The secret message communicated to most young people today by the society around them is that they are not needed, that the society will run itself quite nicely until they - at some distant point in the future - will take over the reigns. Yet the fact is that the society is not running itself nicely... because the rest of us need all the energy, brains, imagination and talent that young people can bring to bear down on our difficulties. For society to attempt to solve its desperate problems without the full participation of even very young people is imbecile”
Alvin Toffle
PLOT
"Teenage superheroes strive to prove themselves as members of the Justice League" or "How to make the sidekicks more interesting and compelling".
SCRIPT
By far the best aspect of this series. All the characters are fleshed out well and the main ones get the wonderful archs and developments. I can say the same abou the villains. I like the fact that we're able to experience every character growth through the years, an aspect which is crucial for this show. There's no filler and every episode is packed with relevant events which change the heroes and the villains. This show has clear rules and it's pretty self aware. A lot of different and relevant themes are explored, an aspect which makes this series one of the best DC's productions like The Batman Series. Sometimes it drags a bit but overall it's pretty engaging. I like the fact that this show manages to include a crossover with another DC's production, which is kinda unexpected. I think that this series is undervalued and deserves more recognition.
Script: 9/10
ACTING
The voice acting is good and the voices fit the characters. It isn't as good as The Batman Series but it works. I like the fact that it remains constistent throughout all the show. I like a lot Superboy and Nightwing voice actors, because they're able to infuse their character with a lot of charisma and emotions.
Acting: 6/10
PHOTOGRAPHY
Like the editing, this isn't a strength of this series. Light and shadows are mostly flat, which is kinda annoying. Which keep this section afloat are the colours, which are bright and carry a lot of symbolism. There're some nice shots but overall this is just mediocre.
Photography: 6/10
EDITING
It's ok, just that It doesn't take risks and prefers to play it safe. It's acceptable but that lowers the show's overall quality.
Editing: 6/10
SPECIAL EFFECTS
The animation is good looking and eye pleasing. It isn't original but it's pretty and the production had a lot fun at designing all the settings and heroes. I like the powers effects and how they're represented in order to underline every difference. There isn't much left to say. Even though it is similar to other productions, it has style.
Special Effects: 6/10
SOUNDTRACK
I don't find it particularly remarkable. It's like every other animated series and doesn't bring anything new. It works but it's kinda disappointing. I've expected more from a DC production.
Soundtrack: 6/10
COSTUMES
There's a wide variety of them and they evolve with the characters. I like Halo's one because it's unusual. They're pretty coloured and fit the characters powers, abilities and personality. I'm not just talking about the heroes but also the villains have interesting outfits. I think that overall this section is satisfying.
Costumes: 8/10

A good series which has a great script and offer us the possibility to know more about DC's sidekicks which are usually overlooked. Give it a try and watch it all in on e shot.
