one-hour block of exclusive kids' television programming and
shorts based on DC Comics characters. In Young Justice, teenage
heroes Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and
Artemis are tasked by the Justice League to act as their covert
operations team. Armed with superior skills, weaponry and
powers, the team must do battle against a wide array of villains
from the DC Universe while trying to prove to themselves, and to
their superhero mentors, that they too have what it takes to be
a hero. Their journey is further complicated when they face the
many unpredictable obstacles that arise in their path from
inexperience and youth.
In Young Justice: Legacy fans can look forward to an original
storyline set in between Seasons 1 and 2 of the television
series, written in collaboration with show writers Greg Weisman
and Brandon Vietti. The game is packed with fan favorite
playable characters, cameo appearances by popular Justice League
heroes and villains, and includes online multiplayer as well as
local multiplayer modes.
"The TV series is a fantastic combination of compelling writing,
witty humor, iconic art, and exciting action sequences. The
creators have done an amazing job blending over 180 DC Comics
characters into their show filtered through a new, youthful
perspective," said Matt Scott, CEO of Little Orbit. "The new
video game contains a slew of cool features and a large playable
cast of familiar heroes, but our core mission is to create a
unique experience that fits seamlessly into the world of the
show and offers a new way to interact with these popular DC
Comics characters."
