Greg Weisman says:

"I suppose an easier task is listing who I perceive to be the leads this season. So, I'd say the only true leads for the entire season are probably Aqualad, Artemis, Miss Martian, Nightwing and Blue Beetle.

All others, I guess, are supporting players when perceiving the season as a whole, though in individual episodes one or more might have a significant role to play - and even be the lead of that episode. For example, Robin in 'Happy New Year', Wonder Girl in 'Beneath' or Arsenal in 'Satisfaction', etc. Others are always only supporting players.

If that helps any. (None of this is an exact science.)

But as I've said before, the characters used (and the amount of screen time they received) this season were based entirely on STORY. In contrast to Season One, YJ:I was, by design, a STORY-DRIVEN season."
