List of Young Justice episodes

"Independence Day" is the first episode of the animated television series Young Justice, which first aired on November 26, 2010 alongside the episode "Fireworks" as part of an hour-long special. The episode features Young Justice team members Robin, Aqualad, Superboy, and Kid Flash, while Miss Martian and Artemis joined later in the series. References to the cartoons Super Friends and Teen Titans appear in the episode. "Independence Day" won an Emmy Award for Individual Achievement in Animation.

After Batman, The Flash, Aquaman, and Green Arrow, with their respective sidekicks Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad and Speedy, each defeat a villain with ice powers, they go to the Hall of Justice so that the sidekicks can be officially inducted into the Justice League. Martian Manhunter and Red Tornado pull the mentors aside to debrief them on the day's events, but Speedy is furious at the League and media's disregard of their proteges as "sidekicks" and reveals that their true headquarters is in space, before leaving. Superman contacts the mentors about a fire at Project Cadmus, and Zatara subsequently contacts the League to help stop Wotan from blotting out the sun. The mentors decide to let the fire department handle the fire and leave to stop Wotan. The sidekicks are ordered to stay put, but are disappointed that their mentors didn't trust them with the Watchtower. Robin suggests they investigate Project Cadmus and solve the case before the League does. They all agree and the trio sets off.
