So... since we know YJ season 3 will premiere next year (which realistically speaking, isn't that far away) and we've got some info to go on regarding it, I've been thinking it's a good time to start a real speculative discussion of what we expect to see this coming season. Because AMAZINGLY, I have not seen one yet. New character additions, character arcs, new locations, possible events, etc etc. Everything relevant is fair game.
My thoughts: Personally I'm not a fan of how they completely changed the interesting and compelling origins/backstories of my two favorite characters (Beast Boy and Static) just to immediately tie them to and rush them in as part of the team with little to no development. Though I can't complain too much because at least they used them, especially since this is only Virgil's second tv appearance since his creation in the '90s. Anyway my point is, considering the season will mainly be about metahuman trafficking, I see big potential for both characters to shine here. And since that last scene teased some heavy Darkseid/Apokolips involvement, I'm expecting (and hoping) for them to expand upon the Terror Titans storyline where Darkseid kidnaps and mind controls metahumans and pit them against each other Roulette style. I'm personally hoping for a good intro to the Female Furies and a remake of the scene where Rose Wilson is forced to fight a mind controlled Static. Only thing that worries me is that there's a possibility they may cut both BB and Static from the show, as there are heavy rumors that Static and Beast Boy will be used in the live action Black Lightning and Titans series' respectively (rumors that come from the creators of those shows themselves). Though I'm hoping all the shows can still use them.
New characters, locations, and events I expect to see: The island of Themyscira, New Genesis, more of Apokolips, more Lobo, Donna Troy, Supergirl, Power Girl, Mister Miracle, Big Barda, Little Barda, Female Furies, Kalibak, Orion, Stephanie Brown/Spoiler, Jason Todd as Red Hood (screw Damien), Carol Ferris as Star Sapphire, Mal as Herald, Simon Baz, Jessica Cruz, Rose Wilson/The Ravager, Joseph Wilson/Jericho, Frieda Goren, Holocaust, Madame Rouge, Harley Quinn (and other Suicide Squad members), Bombshell, Jessie Quick, Reverse-Flash, Inertia, Danny the Street, and Fearsome Five.
Tim Drake becoming Red Robin, Captain Marvel being renamed Shazam, Wally West returning from the Speed Force (which I speculate is where he went in the finale), getting a new suit similar to his DC Rebirth one, becoming the third Flash, and ironically becoming the fastest man alive after they spent this whole series establishing how slow he is compared to other speedsters, which was even the cause of his supposed "death".
Hoping to see but kind of doubt: Starfire, Raven, and Cyborg (cause live action Titans and movies), Rose Wilson (they gave Artemis too similar a storyline to Rose's), Pantha, Kole Weathers, Argent, Bushido, Hot Spot (cause they're kind of random but I want more Titans).
So what do you guys think? Speculate away.
Oh yeah, and maybe we can address some red flags like what they'll do with Vandal Savage.
