Young Justice #3

Young Justice continues to fill in the blanks of the television series. This one looks at an early "team building" exercise with just Kid Flash, Robin and Aqualad. They're not a team, which is still picked up in the series. Robin does more of an active role here than he has, aside from one mission where he makes a play for leadership, in the series. It's watching dynamics develop.

The League of Shadows makes its first appearance. I think there's more of an explanation here than there had been on the show. They are more familiar with them in the show than they are here.

Things I liked:  Robin showing initiative.  I'm used to him being the leader.  He's not going to be for this incarnation of the team because he's so young, but seeing that there's flashes of competence is good.

Thinks I didn't like:  Some of it seems rehashed from the pilot.  Robin going off laughing, Kid Flash racing off.  I get what they're trying to show, there's just other ways to do it.  Like the scene where Kid Flash and Robin hit each other because they're used to working with their mentors in a different way.
