New on DVD - "Young Justice Invasion: Destiny Calling" - Season 2 Part 1

Five years have passed since the end of the first season of Young Justice and the team of former sidekicks are trying to determine what happened to their older counterparts in the Justice League for a period of 16 hours that none of them, including Batman and Martian Manhunter, can account for. Their quest takes the youngsters into space, where they encounter both allies, such as Adam Strange, and enemies, including the alien race known as the Kroloteans. Despite the enormous challenges facing the group of heroes, including an apparent defection by Aqualad, the ever growing Young Justice team is stronger than ever, thanks to the addition of several new members; Blue Beetle, Beast Boy, Wonder Girl, Batgirl, Lagoon Boy, Bumblebee and Mal Duncan. There is also a new Robin on the team, Tim Drake, as the original Robin, Dick Grayson, is now known as Nightwing.

The primary focus of the ten episodes featured on Young Justice Invasion is the infiltration of Earth by the Kroloteans, but there are other potential threats posed by Black Manta, Lex Luthor, Queen Bee and Ra's al Ghul, who all make guest appearances, along with other DC Universe luminaries, including Captain Cold, Lobo, Cheshire and Clayface, as well as heroes Green Arrow, Flash and Black Canary. In fact, the two stand out episodes, "Bloodlines" and "Satisfaction," feature appearances by the extended Flash and Green Arrow families, respectively. "Bloodlines" boasts the debut of Impulse, who time travels from the future to help save the world, and appearances by Wally West (Kid Flash) and Jay Garrick (The Original Flash), while "Satisfaction" features appearances by Red Arrow and the debut of Arsenal. Both episodes mine the history of the DC Comics characters and provide plenty of drama, as well as action.

The special features include three Batman: The Brave and the Bold episodes guest starring the new Blue Beetle, who receives quite a bit of attention overall. Indeed, there is room for both well known heroes and those who have previously played supporting roles to shine throughout the first ten episodes of the second season of Young Justice.
