Season 3 of Young Justice Episode Private Security Reviews

Of the three episodes of Young Justice: Outsiders that dropped last Friday, the start "Private Security" is the funniest — though you can't call it straight filler.

Young Justice ever moves the plot forward, even in its lighter episodes, and "Individual Security offers a chip of respite from the action, information technology turned out to be the near emotional of the new incarnation.

[Ed. note: This mail contains spoilers for "Individual Security" the fourth episode of Young Justice: Invasion]

The episode begins with Artemis, Superboy, and Black Lightning figuring out what to do with the iii stragglers from their mission to Markovia. All of them contact Nightwing, only he is very deliberately ignoring their calls.

Instead, Nightwing shows up at Bowhunter Security, a private security firm (wink, wink nudge, nudge) owned by Volition Harper (Roy Harper's clone from the outset season who has since reformed). Along with Nightwing are original Roy Harper (going past Armory) and Jim Harper (some other Roy Harper clone, going by Guardian). They're hither to convince Will to accompany Nightwing on yet another covert mission. Roy agrees — but only if they help him on a Bowhunter Security task.

Cue the Hire-a-Cop uniforms! Cue the riffs! Cue that instant face of regret on Nightwing'southward part!

"Allow's not pretend y'all were planning to hitting your traffickers before nightfall," says Volition

"That is the Night Knight fashion, correct?" chimes in Jim.

"I hear all those bad boys plough into pumpkins in daylight," adds Roy.

The job turns out to be a flake more complex than the group thought, as a a agglomeration of thugs decides to steal the shipment of Goode Goggles in broad daylight. Fro at that place, information technology's car chases and more jokes, as the clones and Dick accept on the VR headset bandits. But while the banter is fun and information technology's hilarious to run into the usually secretive Nightwing dressed in this uniform, there'southward something off — why isn't Dick answering his calls? Why is he guarding goggles with the Harper clones instead dealing with the Markovians? Will is suspicious, but of course, there are goggles to protect.

At the same time, Artemis brings Halo to a meeting with Zatanna. This subplot hints at the deeper undertones of the Bowhunter Security plot, as Artemis and Halo watch Zatanna meet upwards with her father. In the original Immature Justice seasons, Zatara was a prominent League member, who allowed Lord of Order Nabu — too known as Dr. Fate — to inhabit his body instead of taking over Zatanna's. Once a year, for one 60 minutes, Nabu releases Zatara so he and Zatanna can reunite.

This feeling of grief and loss continues to permeate through the episode, specially when nosotros learn just why Nightwing has called Will Harper on this mission.

In a slip of natural language in the midst of battle, Nightwing calls Will "Wally." That'due south when Will realizes why Nightwing peculiarly asked him on this mission— he needs his best friend. Since Wally West is dead, simulated Roy Harper is the closest substitute.

Nightwing is defensive at offset, but while beating upwards the bad guy with a flashlight and a clipboard (no Batarangs for individual security guards), they eventually have a center-to-eye. Nightwing is reluctant to "do teams" anymore, given what happened with Wally, merely Will confronts him about this hesitation: Dick needs to stride up.

Nightwing relinquishes and then the two toss the crook that they're property in a higher place their heads into the street. Against a setting sunday, Dick realizes that he needs to stride information technology up and make it right. He doesn't mention Wally again, but the speedster's presence is felt.

Young Justice: Outsiders excels when it balances its humour with its depth. "Individual Security" is at present the best example. The loss of a major character isn't something that the show's 3rd season hand-waved or overused: no one'southward forgotten Wally West, simply at the same time, those closest to him aren't wallowing in pools of grief or swearing vengeance. Instead, the feelings of loss are subtle, but however very much present.

The next three episodes of Young Justice: Outsiders premiere on January. 18 on DC Universe.
