Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do love the "Come on internet. You know what to do next." Sometimes we're not (just) annoying, I suppose. Where do I post what?

If only there were some other community of nerds where you were active where you could spread the news.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hey, the Internet got Saturday mail back! At least, I assume it was the Internet. Decisions can be reversed!

I wish DC would wake up to the fact that they have a huge fanbase due to the cartoons (Batman, JLU, Teen Titans, Young Justice) that would LOVE to pick up the comics.
But then they do stupid shit like slutting up Starfire, or trying to kill off John and alienating those fans.

So the position is that he was always going to live. And therefore Fialkov is a liar who quit for no good reason?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Greg Weisman, in the answer to a question, listed the various pitches made to try to continue the YJ universe: [link]
Brandon and I (both separately and together) pitched all sorts of further Earth-16 properties, including (but not limited to) a third season (of course), animated spin-offs featuring Arsenal and/or the Arrow Family, a comic book entitled Earth-16, the Black Manta Celebrity Hot Tub shorts, a direct to DVD movie, etc. Brandon even pitched a YJ meets Scooby movie. Unfortunately, none of these were in the cards.
I think any of those, (excepting the "Black Manta Celebrity Hot Tub") would have been great to see. Alas.
