With the season premiere of "Young Justice" hitting the small screen this Saturday during Cartoon Network's "DC Nation," we took the opportunity to chat with the show's producers, Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti! The two talk about what we can expect in Season Two, tease about some interesting new characters, and lots more!

MTV Geek: What can you tell us about the second season of Young Justice? Other than “Invasion” being in the title, of course.

Brandon Vietti: Well, the big spoiler is, there's an invasion. Season Two is very intense; we only have 20 episodes rather than 26, and so if you thought that Season One had a drive to it, we have fewer episodes to tell with a bigger story. Season Two exponentially raises the stakes on every level. We drive through episode one all the way to episode twenty in a very tight, cohesive form. Each episode still stands alone and tells a great story, but they're also all part of this larger whole.

I'll admit it was a pleasure speaking with Metalocalypse creator/musician/voice actor extraordinaire Brendon Small: he is, after all, who I want to be when I grow up. You can imagine my paroxysms of white-hot jealousy when a friend got a gig writing for the show—hi Dani—but you have to understand, for the better part of the last decade, I've held Small's television work in the highest regard. I'm often in awe of the career of the former lead of the classic Adult Swim staple Home Movies seemingly without effort jumps between his work on TV, live performances for a virtual version of his metal creation Dethklok, and wherever else he might pop up at any given time.

Home Movies featured Small as Brendon Small, grade school student and amateur filmmaker whose weekly stories typically centered on his small crew's attempts to either make a movie or actively avoid making one (Brendon the character was somewhat ambivalent about the whole thing at times). Metalocalypse is in many ways a spiritual (if not tonal) successor to Home Movies in that it's about the biggest band in the world, Dethklok, and their own rocky relationship with the act of making music, performing, and generally relating to the billions of people who want a piece of them.

When you stop to think about it, casting Pee Wee Herman as the Riddler doesn't seem so weird. Herman (aka Paul Reubens) is one of what's sure to be a ton of guest stars joining the Robot Chicken DC Comics Special, along with Neil Patrick Harris as Two-Face, Alfred Molina as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion taking another stab at Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Megan Fox as Lois Lane, Breckin Meyer as Superman, and Seth Green as Batman, Robin, and Aquaman.

The promise of a new show or movie with Chris Elliott top-lining it is usually a welcome (albeit rare) thing. The comedian, who’s made a career out of playing all manner of oddball characters with questionable sanity and very unique moral compasses could never be accused of giving anything less than 100% to the creeps, freaks, weirdoes, and perverts that have marked his career.

Add U.S. Marshal Chris Monsanto to that list, the cowboy hat and leather vest wearing hero of Adult Swim’s Eagleheart, whose second season premieres tonight. Thanks to a first season that hits the ground running, Monsanto joins that storied list of wonderful freak show characters Elliot has played up until now, with the benefit of a surreal and gory backdrop to add to the fun.

In theory, you'd imagine that a DVD called the "Slack Pack" would be one of those themed releases: you know, slacker-themed stories featuring the lead character of the show in question. In practice, though, you could grab nearly any handful of episodes from J.G. Quintel's Cartoon Network series Regular Show's three seasons and come up with a reasonable argument that it too would be a "Slack Pack." If the show's leads—know-it-all bluejay Mordecai and prickly, occasionally live wire raccoon Rigby—didn't slack off, they wouldn't do anything at all.

Semantics of the title aside (it's accurate, I guess), the "Slack Pack" assembles 12 typically surreal, frenetic, loud, silly, and generally very on-point-about-being-lazy-and-20 episodes of Regular Show.

Hey, do you know who's incredible? Mark Hamill. Seriously, you'd never guess that the sometime-Joker would be able to reach such weirdly deep registers to play the mystical albino gorilla Skips, Moredcai and Rigby's co-worker at the park. It's not fair to single out Hamill: the rest of the voice cast of the series is top-notch, from Quintel's performance as Mordecai to the weird, excessive energy of William Salyers as Rigby; Sam Marin does triple duty as Pops, Benson, and Muscle Man.

I don't think it would take a lot of work to make the argument that right now the two pillars of Cartoon Network's evening programming are Adventure Time and The Regular Show. Both series have earned their reps for their respective creators' willingness to dig deep into the surreal, going all over the map with their 11-minute comic opuses while still creating strange, funny, and interesting worlds and characters.

J.G. Quintel is the mind behind The Regular Show. A CalArts grad and Cartoon Network veteran, he and I spoke recently by phone about the genesis of the series, and the winding path that got him and his animal leads Mordecai and Rigby, onto Cartoon Network.
