'Young Justice' is back, 'Outsiders' is absolutely packed with superheroes and this time with a more mature story arc

While the first three episodes of 'Young Justice' are out, this review will only cover the first episode because of the sheer amount of information and characters that seemed to be crammed into this episode. But before diving deeper into the episode, it is worth mentioning there is a prequel comic series called 'Young Justice: Outsiders - Chapter 1', which helps to fill the time gap that occurred between the previous seasons and the latest. Keeping this in mind, the episode bridges the gap seamlessly between the seasons, but you have to really pay attention.

In the episode's introduction, we see a pensive Dick Grayson (Nightwing) informing Kaldur (Aqualad) that he's quitting the team due to the death of his best friend, and Young Justice co-founder, Wally West (Kid Flash). And, we see Aqualad taking up a leadership role now that he's come of age and experience while assigning his new team their daily missions.
