The minds behind the fan favorite, but long canceled Young Justice are still ready to bring season three of the show to life, but it doesn’t look good. Brandon Vietti was on the Shanlian on Batman podcast — you might remember when Paul Dini revealed his adoration for Margot Robbie on there — and talked about the possibility of a third season of the beloved superhero show:
“If I do, it’s like all above my pay grade. If there’s anything going on it’s like way above me. It’s one of those things where like Greg [Weisman] and I developed a show, but with other people’s characters. You know what I mean? So, it’s not ours to go pitch. I wish I could tell you more. I wish I could say “Yeah we’re in talks!” But, I’m not in any talks. It’s not for me. It’s not my thing to go talk about. Maybe we’ll get some good news about it someday. Greg and I, Phil Bourassa, our character designer, We’re all anxious to jump back in the world. We have more stories to tell, we’d love to do it and honestly we’re on stand by until our bosses come and say “we want to make more.”

The real push for DC and Warner Bros. currently seems to be in film with their Justice League buildup and their DC Animated movies on home video. The recent Justice League Vs Teen Titans proves that, as many of the characters from Young Justice are updated and added to the current slate of animated DC offerings.
Dini himself has talked about how television seems to get animation all wrong currently, but many are still clamoring for a new series to jump onto in the vein of Batman: The Animated Series. There’s a great history there, which Young Justice is apart of, and fans will still want some of that.
