So everyone I know is talking about the new show and the death that will happen somewhere down the line...  so who do you guys think is the first to go?   I'm guessing it will be one of the core members, thats how it sounded like to me, i dont think they would've made a big deal if it was a minor character...
 
My guess is Artemis...if she is Olivia Queen as many has suggested, Olivia does end up dead...not to mention there's news that Speedy is going to join midway through the season...and having two archers isn't that interesting... so yeah..lol  I hope its not Artemis, i think a roster of six with just two girls is fine...i would be disappointed if it was five boys and one girl.

Doubt it will be Aqualad all the promotion plus its WB and they don't let minorities get dropped the way DC comics do. 
I think Aqualad and Blue Beetle are going to be the face of diversity for DC with maybe Static.

Should a character die in a cartoon?

"Most likely John Zatara in the JL lineup. Then Zatanna will replace him. "

Maybe artemis will leave for a while, speedy will join and then die, artemis comes back and we're all happy!  except 4 u speedy fans.  I think aqaualad might die, cuz then robin can take the lead.

1) A member of the JL may die and be replaced. Zatara is a possibility, the show may have his daughter step-up and become a serious member of the league after his death, kind of like the passing of the torch to the new generation. Green Arrow dying and being succeeded by Red Arrow could also happen.
2) Another possibility is that one of the YJ members goes berserk, or is careless and ends up killing a villain.
3) If a member of YJ is the first to go, I guess it would be one of the powerhouses (Superboy, Aqualad, or Miss Martian), to show the teens that even the strongest can die. My best guess would be Miss Martian since the other two are prominent in comics right now, while MM recently left the Teen Titans series.

Hopefully its Aqualad he's a really useless character.

I think they'll kill off either Artemis or Miss Martian.

I don't personally think any of the main roster members will die, perhaps a new recruit will join and got out all heroic like...sacrifice or something for the entire team.

Am I the only one who is expecting Robin to die?

I know he is the most experienced of the lot, and is the best recognized sidekick in comic book history, but he brings absolutely nothing to the show. Everyone else has some standing story going for them, and they all bring something unique to the team:

Superboy has his issues with Superman, is developing a relationship with Miss Martian, and serves as the muscle of the team. Also, the development of his character has had the most time investment of anyone on the team. Moreover, he was created by the Light, who also tried to recapture him. There's obviously some link in there, and so he must live.

Miss Martian is developing a relationship with Superboy, and helps keep the team together by use of her psychic powers. Since the Light tried to get control of Superboy once, they may try to do so again. As such, she would serve as the emotional glue for him to stay in the team.

Aqualad is the leader of the group, and the most active link to Speedy/Red Arrow. Moreover, his character has just been revamped, and has had the most time invested in it on the show, with the exception of Superboy. I don't see them killing him off either.

Kid Flash brings the comic relief. He is the only one to do so, and by virtue of that, he becomes essentially indispensable.

Artemis has been developing an interesting character over the past few episodes. If anything, I see them keeping her merely to ride on the waves generated in the aftermath of the conclusion of her current direction. Moreover, they're hinting something between her and Kid Flash.

Red Arrow has his own story of not wanting to join the team, and suspecting Artemis. It seems that they're building him up as a potentially valuable member of the team. And so, with all that time investment, I can't picture them killing him either.

That leaves us with Robin.

What standing Story does he have? None. There's the little catch, that he is the future leader of the team, but you can clearly see that they're portraying Aqualad as too good a leader to be replaced. Moreover, they aren't even referencing to it on a regular basis. So, in all likelihood, it was merely an excuse for them to make the less known Aqualad the leader, over the much better recognized Robin.

What does he bring to the team? Nothing. He's supposed to have experience, but clearly he isn't showcasing it much. In fact, Aqualad is outshowing him there as well. They did an entire episode merely to highlight the experience that Aqualad had amassed over his tenure as the leader of the group. For Robin, there's been nothing.

What character development have they done for him? None. He isn't really involved in anything significant. He isn't really having any great issues. He isn't really standing out at anything. He's just being Robin. He's just being what people all over the world know him for. That's it.

And that brings me to what I'm thinking. All of his incarnations included, what is Robin best known for?

That's right: for dying at the hands of The Joker.

I'm sure it would be a fitting end to the season, if the Light were to some how get the Clown Prince of Crime out of Arkham (assuming he's in there), in order to create some kind of a confusion. The team would obviously go for him, wherein he would simply kill the Boy Wonder, just as he did in the comics. They can run a story that Artemis (or whoever the inside source is supposed to be) lures Robin into the trap. In all likelihood, both the traitor, and the Light would be expecting him to be kept there. The Joker however, would simply kill him, and move further, causing the traitor to feel guilty and turn on the Light.

I know that the chances for this happening are very very slim… but then, what's the harm in dreaming?

I hope Roy Harper dies. He ruins every comic he's in and I don't want the same to happen to this show.

Looking at the poster for Season 2, I don't think it's Aqualad that's with his waterbearers on his back. If you look at the face, it looks more like Jaime Reyes a.k.a. Blue Beetle, so I would say Aqualad dies a heroic death as leader of the team, making Robin the replacement leader. Seeing as the season looks to be more involved with intergalactic threats, it wouldn't be too farfetched to think Blue Beetle will be added to the team. Although, I really like Kaldur, I think it's going to be him.

The first causality has already happened..... Kent Nelson. 
 
Forget about him?

I doubt it's Robin, Aqualad or Kid Flash...everyone else is fair game though..

Hope it's for miss Martian   Hello Mgann Hello bullet

@cattlebattle: Actually Artemis' voice actress confirmed that she's working on Young Justice season 2. Also Kelly Hu, who voices Artemis' mother and sister, has also been confirmed to be working on season 2. And the Invasion promo image had an archer on it, even though it's impossible to tell who it is.

@cattlebattle: I think that Artemis' voice actress is voicing more than the computer in season 2, since she said how excited she was to be back to work on the show. I personally wouldn't find saying number designations to be very exciting. Also the episode Kelly Hu is slated to voice in is a Flash-centric episode, and since YJ obviously pairs Artemis with Kid Flash together, it's likely going to be an episode about them and their families. And based on the passage of time the episode would like be timestamped on or around Valentine's Day.

@cattlebattle: The information about Kelly Hu and the Flash episode came from YJ writer Peter David. He wrote the 6th episode of season 2. I think Kelly Hu appears in the Flash episode because it was the only one in season 2, written by Peter David that had the voices recorded at the time he made the statement. And here are links to his statements about the episode.

And Artemis' voice actress stated on her blog that she's working on season 2. Here's the link.

As for why I think the episode will be timestamped around Valentine's Day, it's because the 26-episode first season takes place over 6 months, which roughly equals 4 episodes a month. Season 2 kicks off on January 1, so episode 6 of season 2 would likely take place in mid-February.

Hm... Can't be Robin. He's supposed to lead the team later... Can't be Kid Flash... Wally's never died and he's like, the only comic relief the team has Can't be Superboy. They have more character development to do with him first. I don't think It will be Aqualad because he's the team leader.. Right now, anyway. Miss Martian's too cute to die :) And then there's Artemis... I don't think they'll kill her now because she just joined on the team, but I can totally see the season end with her dying to protect the team from whatever she does to betray them (cause you know it's totally gonna be her =P)

THIS COMMENT IS SO FULL OF WIN! :)

But yes, I agree they'll prob kill off Artemis at some point to introduce Cassie (especially since DC just FINALLY got the rights to use her :P)

After last night's episode with Black Canary doing therapy, it could be anyone at this point.

The thing is I can't seen any of them dying, They're so young.
