YOUNG JUSTICE ON CARTOON NETWORK
Cartoon Network has announced that Young Justice will premiere as a weekly series on Friday, Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. (ET/PT).
The series premiere follows a one-hour preview that aired Nov. 26.
The first two episodes airing in December will be repeats of the two-part "independence Day."
Cartoon Network has released biographies of the main characters. To view the descriptions, CLICK HERE.

Here's how the network describes the eeries:
"In Young Justice, being a teenager means proving yourself over and over -- to peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself. But what if you're not just a normal teenager? What if you're a teenage super hero? How much harder will it be to prove yourself in a world of super powers, super villains and super secrets? Are you ready to come of age in such a world? Are you ready for life or death rites of passage? Are you ready to join the ranks of the great heroes and prove you're worthy of the Justice League? That's exactly what the members of Young Justice -- Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis -- will found out ... whether they have what it takes to be a proven hero."
