Animation has announced that “Young Justice Season 3” is officially happening – bringing back “The Team” – the young counterpart of the Justice League who specialize in covert operations and featuring heroes such as Nightwing/ Robin, Superboy, Miss Martian, Kid Flash, and Aqualad among its members.

Animation and Warner Bros. Digital President Sam Register said. “We are excited to bring the show back for this loyal fanbase and to provide an opportunity for new viewers to discover this excellent series.”
