Fan Casting Young Injustice: The Final Season

Episode 7: Choice As the Young Justice broke into the Fortress of Solitude in search of Golden Kryptonite, they instead found family photos of the Kent family, including pictures of young Mara visiting her grandparents in Smallville with Fred and Themis. Out of the many, one picture stood out; Fred froze and nearly cried as he saw a picture of Superman handing his daughter a red cape. Fred revealed that he always knew Mara would face the pressure of her father's legacy, especially since it was pushed upon her. Mara never had a choice to be anything but Superman's daughter, it shattered her into the violent woman she became, someone who wanted to break free from the shadows by any means necessary. It's the same reason Themis and Jax had turned towards darkness, they never had the freedom to choose who they wanted to be. Leo, Aurora, Calamity and Furor all asked why Fred had never turned. The young Wayne revealed that he was raised by both the benevolent Batman and the once-criminal Catwoman: because of their dualities, he was raised with the choice to fight for good or fight for himself. He was given the choice to become his own person, not another Robin. Fred believed that the Young Justice program gave the young former-criminals the first choice they ever had and used it to change for the best. As the Young Justice found the shard of Golden Kryptonite they finally began to have hope that they could defeat Mara and hopefully bring April back into the light.
