Young Justice: Invasion

Young Justice: Invasion is the second season of Young Justice, preceded by season one, and it comprises 20 episodes. It was expected to air in March 2012, during the premiere of DC Nation, but was later set to premiere on April 28.

The story follows the teenage superhero members of the Team, as they must deal with an alien invasion.

The first episode takes place on January 1, five years after the first season concluded. Unlike the previous season which featured a spate of guest directors, the season two production team hired a permanent set of three directors: Tim Divar, Doug Murphy and Mel Zwyer.
