Justice League Action coming to Cartoon Network

[Autbot_Benz]

There’s a new DC Animated Series on the way… and this one’s all about the action. Justice League Action is a brand new, quarter-hour series from Warner Bros. Animation that will be coming soon to Cartoon Network.

Featuring the return of Kevin Conroy as Batman, the Dark Knight will join with Superman and Wonder Woman and the rest of DC’s iconic team of heroes in a series that promises to put the action back in heroics. Whether defending the Earth, facing invaders from space, or battling the bizarre forces of magic, the always-rotating team of Justice League heroes, are up to any challenge. Episodes will be eleven minutes in length, meaning that the action will be tightly-paced and exciting. And awesome!

Along with Conroy, Cartoon Network have announced that several other beloved DC Animated voice actors will be contributing to the series, including Mark Hamill as the Joker (!!!), James Woods as Lex Luthor, Diedrich Bader as Booster Gold and much more. Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!) will serve as executive producer with Butch Lukic (Justice League, Batman Beyond), Alan Burnett (Batman: The Animated Series) and Jim Krieg (Green Lantern: The Animated Series) serving as producers.

Justice League Action will join the popular Teen Titans Go! as the second ongoing DC Animated Series on Cartoon Network. No word yet on when it will be debuting, so be sure to follow DC Comics on Twitter for the premiere date as well as further news on Justice League Action as soon as its announced.

So what do you think? Ready for another dose of animated action? Share your thoughts and which heroes and villains you’re hoping to see below!

[CyberCubed]

So is this a comedy show too? Looks like it even if it'll have fighting.

[Raph's Girl]

So is this a comedy show too? Looks like it even if it'll have fighting.

Possibly. Or at least in the same veign as the old Superfriends stuff. But hey Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil together again!! :D

[TurtleTitan97]

Hope the show turns out well.

[MikeandRaph87]

A kiddie version of Justice League (2001-2006) in Nicktoon time increments? Wrong voice for Lex Luthor, but Kevin and Mark bring respectability to the project. The only thing this could do to grab my interest is to incorporate Bat Rouges as Justice League managed to only include Joker, Clayface, and Deadshot.

[turtlefanforever]

Should bring back Krypto the superdog.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I'm all for this! I'm actually digging the art style for this. It may look like it is aimed for a younger audience but it looks like it can be a great action series that may blend in both action and comedy. I'm gonna give this a shot! I think it's a good way to pull in kids to see the Justice League movie (assuming this series will be out before then).

[sdp]

I like the artwork but I kind of wanted something more in-line with the Batman Unlimited cartoons. Based on the description it doesn't seem like it's a comedy show. Counting episodes are 11 minutes in length I don't think we'll see super complicated plots but we could see recreations of a bunch of comic book battles that make no sense but are just cool fun short battles.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if DC comes out with yet another Batman cartoon.

[snake]

Hey, if it's 11 minute snippets of pure fights, I'm in.

[CyberCubed]

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if DC comes out with yet another Batman cartoon.

This is a Batman cartoon, more or less.

[Cure]

I'd rather hear new Batman and Joker voices.

[CyberCubed]

I don't think Kevin Conroy should be here either, this looks like a kids show probably with lots of slapstick humor. Conroy doesn't fit for this.

Its weird, they had a new Batman VA play him on The Batman, Brave and the Bold, Beware the Batman and the various DTV DC movies...yet they bring him back for this?

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I'd rather hear new Batman and Joker voices.

Tired of Conroy and Hamill too, huh?

[Leo656]

Meh. Not sold, what with that runtime. Lot of people are saying it feels like they're aiming for the same crowd they went after with Teen Titans GO. I'll have to wait and see.

[CyberCubed]

11 minute episodes with chibi animation? Yeah, it definitely going to be a kids show. Which makes me wonder why they had Conroy come back to do this when his voice won't really fit a younger skewing Batman.

[M.O.D.O.K.]

Meh. Not sold, what with that runtime. Lot of people are saying it feels like they're aiming for the same crowd they went after with Teen Titans GO. I'll have to wait and see.

That's also the same runtime Steven Universe and Adventure Time have.

11 minute episodes with chibi animation

That's not chibi.

[CyberCubed]

They look chibi to me. Wonder Woman and Batman especially. Superman is hard to tell because of the angle.

[TurtleTitan97]

They look chibi to me.

I don't think you even know what chibi means, because these designs certainly aren't chibi.

[CyberCubed]

I don't think you even know what chibi means, because these designs certainly aren't chibi.

They look small and cuddly with big heads. That's chibi.

They don't have to look like Teen Titans Go designs to be chibi, this is another kind of chibi. But it is still chibi because they don't look like standard full grown designs so they are chibi. Very chibi.

[Slade]

They look full grown to me. Just extremely simple in design.

[CyberCubed]

Does anyone remember that JLU episode where the characters got turned into kids? It was kid Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern if I recall. It was during the first season of JLU.

These designs really remind me of that episode from JLU where they were turned to children.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Can you at least wait for an animated trailer before judging?

Also, Conroy has voiced a younger Batman before.

[Commenter 42]

I hate cheap art styles.

Give 'em his ****ing underwear back.

#enoughisenough

[CyberCubed]

I hope this doesn't have the same "animation" that TT Go has, where it looks almost like cheap flash animation you would see on the computer.

In any case I expect these to be gag oriented. Happy friendly cartoons for the kiddies.

After Young Justice was canceled I don't think CN wants any "serious" DC shows anymore. They'll probably just want comedies for kids.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

What was I thinking?:trolleye:

[Shred Head]

The designs look very similar to Spectacular Spider-Man very simplistic designs means it can be cheaper to animate. Its got a lot of good names attached to the project so I'm going to be optimistic. I mean its got to be better then Teen Titans Go or Ultimate Spider-Man. Lets face it the days of TMNT2K3, Batman the Animated series, 90's X-Men, and Legend of Korra are gone this will probably be the best we can get sad to say.

[Slade]

I hate cheap art styles.

Give 'em his ****ing underwear back.

Let's start a movement! Cus I agree 100%

like, enough... enough red belts, and yellow red belts, and action tech lines, and cuffs, and goofy t-shirts, jeans...

The lawsuit is OVER.

[BabyTurtles]

Aww was kinda hoping for something more serious...like Young Justice or the first JLA......

but I'll give it a chance, why not :D it would be cool if they showed off some JL members that we don't see alot.

[CyberCubed]

Trust me, it'll be a kids show. I know about these things.

[TurtleTitan97]

Yeah, lets trust the guy who doesn't even work on the show or seen any footage and is just making assumptions just because the art style is different and simple. That makes so much sense.

Besides nothing in that description indicates this show is solely a comedy.

[Leo656]

Yeah, on the one hand it definitely does look WAY more juvenile than I was hoping for.

But, on the other hand, it still COULD be pretty good. It's not at all what I wanted or ever would have asked for, but eh. Like people keep saying about "Brave and the Bold", was it the Batman show I'd ever ask for? No. Is it my favorite one? Not at all. BUT, it was still really good from a different direction.

Still, not at all sold so far, between the art, the runtime, and the description. Looks like one that'll be easy to miss, frankly. We shall see.

[M.O.D.O.K.]

Again, the run time should be a non-issue. Shows like Steven Universe are able to weave long-term storytelling, character development, and worldbuilding in 11 minute episodes just fine.

Not saying that this show WILL or SHOULD do that. But it's not impossible either.

[CyberCubed]

11 minutes in an action cartoon is not a lot of time. You need to have set-up for the plot of the episode, the characters interacting with the villains, the fight scenes, and then the resolution.

All that in 11 minutes goes by pretty damn quickly. Its what makes me think the plots will be really simple so they can get to the action faster.

[sdp]

11 minutes is enough based on the description of the show. This won't be a plot heavy show but we will just get a basic set up and a fight. I think that works there are many iconic battles from the DCU that don't need a big set up. Let's wait for a trailer before we judge.

I just noticed that superman doesn't have his red underwear and it looks terrible. This isn't Chibi art at all either but they definitely look young.

We already have a new Batman show kind of, it's Batman Unlimited, we have 3 movies with more being made and a bunch of clips on the internet. It's for kids but kind of fun at the same time. I was actually hoping this show would have similar designs.

[CyberCubed]

I guess no DC cartoon will ever reach the highs of the DCAU, 2003 Teen Titans, or Young Justice ever again. Brave and the Bold came the closest though.

DC cartoons have been in a rut for years.

[Raph's Girl]

Ok so here's the cast so far:
Mark Hamill is Joker and Swamp Thing
Kevin Conroy is Batman and Plastic Man
Deidrich Bader is Booster Gold
James Woods is Lex Luthor
Joanne Spracklen (who?) is Supergirl
Carl Reiner is The Wizard
Brent Spiner is The Riddler
Tara Strong has also been cast but dunno her role yet. Probably Barbara Gordon/Batgirl


http://www.newsarama.com/28399-star-trek-actor-joins-justice-league-action-as-the-riddler.html

[CyberCubed]

I don't understand why they're using Conroy for this when this looks like a younger skewing kids show. Odd.

[TurtleTitan97]

Yes, because voice actors should be limited to working on shows that are either "serious" or "comedic" depending on their previous work.

Get real. :roll:

[CyberCubed]

His voice won't really fit for this type of show. It'd be as if Conroy did the Brave and the Bold cartoon.

[TurtleTitan97]

He may not have been Batman, but he and Mark Hamill did voice the Phantom Stranger and the Spectre in Brave and the Bold.

So take from friendly advice: Get over it!

[CyberCubed]

The funny thing is I love Conroy, but I'd prefer he not play Batman in younger skewing kids cartoons.

[Cure]

I'm so tired of Kevin Conroy.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

^I agree to this.

[Spike Spiegel]

I'll take Conroy over Adam West any day.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Adam West played a different Batman, though. His portrayal is based on the Silver Age comics at the time.

[ZariusTwo]

I'll take Conroy over Adam West any day.

Did you ever see The Grey Ghost episode of TAS? West voiced him and was darned good in a dramatic role

[Spike Spiegel]

Did you ever see The Grey Ghost episode of TAS? West voiced him and was darned good in a dramatic role

Oh, yeah, I remember that episode.

I guess the first season of the '60s TV show, along with the movie, wasn't so bad.

I'm kind of surprised Dietrich Bader and Bruce Greenwood haven't had more opportunities with the character; I rather liked them as well.

[plastroncafe]

Doesn't West play Batman in the series finale of Brave and the Bold?
Or is he the Grey Ghost again?

[Raph's Girl]

Adam West voiced Thomas Wayne in Brave and the Bold.

[Autbot_Benz]

Adam West was also Mayor Grange in The Batman

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

I recall watching reruns of a Justice League cartoon TV series called Superfriends back in the early-1990's. I had probably no idea it was almost 20 years old at that time.

[Spike Spiegel]

http://cdn.bleedingcool.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Th9WPlE-1-e1465153098922.jpg

It's nice to see Big Barda in there. Hopefully Mister Miracle will show up as well.

Now that I'm thinking of it, I wish there had been a DCAU New Gods spin off series or something. It would have been way better than The Zeta Project.

[CyberCubed]

So I'm guessing this is going to be a comedy show with a little action? 11 minute episodes don't fill me with confidence and these designs are younger skewing.

[Cure]

This show is gonna be dope.

[Raven]

Did you ever see The Grey Ghost episode of TAS? West voiced him and was darned good in a dramatic role

That episode still gives me goose bumps.

[CyberCubed]

Man, the character designs look very kid-friendly oriented. I'm not sure why they got Kevin Conroy to voice this Batman, may as well gone with a new VA for Batman.

I imagine this show will be comedy with a little action, but nowhere as good as Teen Titans 2003 or Brave and the Bold. Now those were comedic shows DONE RIGHT where older fans could enjoy.

[Cure]

I wish they would get rid of Kevin Conroy, too, but not for the same dumb reason as you.

[CyberCubed]

They should use Kevin Conroy for the more adult oriented Batman productions, like the "Killing Joke" DTV movie they have coming out soon, which has Conroy and Hammil play Batman and Joker.

But for these kid-friendly Batman shows they should use new voices.

[Cure]

Sure, pal.

[NinjaPug]

I don't think Kevin Conroy should be here either, this looks like a kids show probably with lots of slapstick humor. Conroy doesn't fit for this.

Jesus. This thread isn't even 4 full pages yet.

[CyberCubed]

Some people say I am very repetitive, I guess I now know why!

[TurtleTitan97]

It took you posting the exact same thing over SEVEN TIMES in this thread to realize that? :roll: You really are dense.

[ToTheNines]

Does this mean you're gonna change your ways?!?

[TurtleTitan97]

They've updated the designs for Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman:

http://i.imgur.com/i1MFYOS.jpg

[CyberCubed]

The designs look likely better now than before, definitely less of a kiddie look. Still not sold, I hope they put up a preview soon

[Commenter 42]

The red and yellow belt is no substitute for the belt and trunks.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

I don't understand why Marvel and DC are so against their characters wearing trunks anymore. It always looks odd, the belts just kinda floating there, and they look like motor-cross racing outfits.

[Commenter 42]

#bringbackthetrunks #wewantunderroos #stopthemadness

[Wildcat]

The first designs reminded me of Transformers: Animated (which was good). I like both designs.

I hope the humor is not like Teen Titans Go! I really hate that style.

That Wonder Woman design will help create a lot of prepubescent fanboys.

It has a kind of punk aesthetic.

[Yoshimickster]

So I'm, looking at the cast of this...Carl Reiner?! REALLY?! HOW?! He's 94 years old! And that's just the TIP of the iceberg that is the voice acting gold they got, they have JAMES WOODS playing Lex Luthor! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

[myconius]

looking forward to seeing what Mark Hamill's Swamp Thing will be like.

[NinjaPug]

[MikeandRaph87]

If Justice League had a kid with SuperFriends this would be it. It is nice to see Batman villains facing the Justice League. Its one of my few complaints about both shows especially the Bat Embargo issue. I just wish it had a solidified lineup. I don't care much for the animation, but unlike Justice League who was going for an older audience it wants to scuw to a younger audience so I will get used to it.

[TurtleTitan97]

Tone wise, it looks like it'll be on par with The Brave & The Bold. Really looking forward to the first episode.

[sdp]

Looks like a fun show, that's all I really want.

I just can't get used to Supes and Bats without underoos. The older desings looked better for all 3.

[CyberCubed]

With only 10-11 minute episodes its probably just going to be simple plots without a lot of fighting/action. You can also tell by the humor in the clip it was be kid-oriented and nothing too serious.

I'm still not sure why they had Kevin Conroy come back for this though, he really doesn't fit the tone and they should have just cast an all new voice to play Batman.

[TurtleTitan97]

You're never gonna stop whining over this, are you?

Seriously, get a new shtick or something. There is absolutely nothing wrong for an actor like Kevin Conroy or Mark Hamill to be a part of a fun-based Superhero show like this. Just look at Batman: The Brave & The Bold.

[CyberCubed]

But here he's playing the exact same character. If they cast Kevin Conroy as one of the other heroes or villains like he sometimes does in other shows I wouldn't mind. But to cast Conroy as Batman again? A show that has no continuity with the old DCAU and in a kid-centric series?

There's a reason The Batman, Brave and the Bold, Beware the Batman, etc. all had new actors playing Batman. I'm not sure why they went back to Conroy here.

[Shred Head]

Well it looks better then what I expected still not really that excited about this show. I would probably be more hyped if it wasn't 11 minutes. Oh well it looks better then Teen Titans GO or the garbage marvel is producing as cartoons these days.

[ObiWanFan4life]

Looks like a fun show, that's all I really want.

I just can't get used to Supes and Bats without underoos. The older desings looked better for all 3.

Same. They just feel so....naked without them.

That aside, this looks like a blast. I'm curious to see who they cast as Superman.

[Autbot_Benz]

http://www.slashfilm.com/justice-league-action-characters/

This show is gonna have 152 DC Characters. What surprises me is John Constantine is gonna be on this show. I don't think he fits for a kid show since his comics are for mature readers and get pretty dark.

[CyberCubed]

152 characters in a show with 11 minute episodes? My guess is each character will have little depth beyond the basics and just be a battle avatar outside Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman.

My expectations for this show are mixed. I'm not expecting the second coming of Young Justice here but I also don't think it'll be as good as Brave and the Bold was either.

I am very wary. Would have also prefered if Kevin Conroy wasn't doing Batman as well.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I'm liking this a lot. All three clips have sold me on the show. It looks like they're going for a mix between the original Teen Titans and Batman: The Brave and the Bold.

[Spike Spiegel]

This show looks like a lot of fun.

The '40s style Batman ears in the first clip were a nice touch. I take it they traveled in time back to the early part of Batman's career?

Well, with YJ back ,I don't have to settle for Powerpuff League at all

[Cure]

Are you? The hundreds of other roles that they were "back" for (even though they never ever left) aren't enough?

[CyberCubed]

I just wish they didn't use Kevin Conroy's VA for this. They should have used a new role.

[Cure]

I agree. Tired of it always being him and Mark Hamill.

But your reasoning is kind of retarded.

Yeah, dumb reason. Batman was a kid's show, Justice League was a kid's show, Young Justice is a kid's show.

enough we know you don't want Conroy you have said it a billion times in this thread christ

To be fair, he's not the only one who constantly posts the same thing, Mr. Arrow is such a terrible show because of the producer, blah blah blah.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I just don't think Conroy should be in a kids show. I'd prefer his voice in something like Young Justice than this.

Batman TAS and Justice League are cartoons for children that appeals to adults as well. Conroy, as the 'definitive Batman voice', should be able to fit Batman regardless of what tone the series is going for. If Khary Payton can voice Cyborg in something more serious like Teen Titans and something more wacky in tone like TTG, so can Conroy.

[Wildcat]

So they went back to the original designs? I distinctly remember they were changed to this
http://cbr0.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/imglib/Cmc1-bvWcAAY-Of-f4e10.jpg?auto=format&lossless=1&q=40&w=700&h=885&fit=crop
There's an article saying the (now real) design was fan art but obviously that's not true.

Oops sorry didn't realize the pic was so big.

[CyberCubed]

Now that Young Justice is coming back it pretty much took the wind out of this show. I mean I know this is going to be aimed at kids mostly, but it doesn't have a unique style to set it apart like Brave and the Bold, Teen Titans, etc.

Just looks too generic to me.

[Sage Ninja]

not digging WW punk rocker hair at all. Bleh! Like that she is sporting her pre52 look though.

[sdp]

Kevin Conroy feels so out of place.

While I like the comedy does this mean we'll never have serious animated takes on superheroes anymore?

Cyborg has his Teen Titans personality and that's great, adult cyborg is finally interesting.

nu52 designs suck, I do like Wonder Woman though.

[CyberCubed]

Kevin Conroy feels so out of place..

I know, I don't know why they used Kevin Conroy for this. Its really disappointing.

Supes looks silly without his undies.

Not a big fan of Wonder Woman's hair, nor the lack of Superman's undies. (no undie rule in place? :lol:) Seems like an odd series, but I'll give it a look.

[Shark_Blade]

Supes looks silly without his undies.

You mean he looks silly with his undies outside.

I can't look at past Supermen without laughing tbh, thank God for the new design.

[Autbot_Benz]

I found a pic of Constantine from the Cartoon. He looks decent just a bit to clean shaven

http://i.imgur.com/W9b1BJO.png

Also it looks like one of the Cartoon Sites I use has the first 3 episodes up already

I have watched some of the episodes they aren't bad Just they are average compared to the Greatness of the Bruce Timm Justice League and Justice League Unlimited

[TurtleTitan97]

Been watching the episodes. It's pretty much like Batman: The Brave & The Bold in 11-minute shorts. Definitely an improvement over Teen Titans Go! in terms of writing and animation.

This is my favorite scene by far:

[Autbot_Benz]

DC Uploaded a clip from The US Premiere episode. I am ecstatic Constantine is in the debut episode so is Green Arrow Swamp Thing and Plastic man

[Spike Spiegel]

I've seen several clips from this show now and I have to say, it works really well for what it is. The designs are simplified without looking too childish; they remind me of The Spectacular Spider-Man.

If they did an all ages comic spinoff, it would be a great way to get younger readers for DC.

[Autbot_Benz]

The Batman Blue Beetle Episode is on various sites. I loved how they did a nod/ poked fun at Batman The Animated Series. They even got some of the song in.


also watched the Hour Long Premiere it was nice seeing Constantine be used in more than 5 mins. Also Once Again a DC Cartoon does Green Arrow better than the actual CW show

[Wildcat]

Saw the premiere and thought it was pretty good. Cool seeing Swamp Thing. I used the watch the live action show.

Honestly I'm not a huge superhero fan. I like watching the cartoons now and then and some of the movies but I'm not as into it as TMNT. So I guess you can call me a casual :lol:

Oh and Wonder Woman is hot :D

The premiere was pretty good, I just wish the characters didn't feel samey. Here's Green Arrow, throwing out jokes. Here's Swamp Thing, throwing out jokes. Here's Martian Manhunter, THROWING OUT JOKES. I understand it's not big on character and story, but they don't all need to be so similar.

Also, Kevin Conroy still sucks.

[CyberCubed]

Its sort of like Brave and the Bold, maybe more child friendly? I do wish Kevin Conroy wasn't used here, as he feels so out of place. They could have used any other Batman voice.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

LOL, what?! Kevin Conroy's Batman voice feels SO in place! ;)

I'm really enjoying this show, especially this version of Wonder Woman. It's nice cause one of my twin boys is enjoying the show as well. And it's definitely a refreshing change from the shows that they've usually got on tv on Disney Junior or Nick Jr.

ROFL, loved that the showrunners basically had to admit last night on Twitter Lois was the love of Superman's life after fans swamped them with complaints about Supes and Wondy's date in Repulse. If Action gets a second season, I think they'll be dropping the forced romance angle between them (makes sense since the comics have ditched it in favor of Ma Lois and Jon)

OH THANK THE SOURCE-I wouldn't have minded it if they were to like...BUILD UP to it, like they did with Batman and WonderWoman, or Donnie and April, but that came out of no-where. ALSO-I felt it kinda said something that after almost sacrificing himself to remove a nanotech-parasite, that Diana would let a little garlic breath keep her from kissing Clark.

4 new episodes happened in June or were uploaded to sites in june. They are pretty good ones.

1 has Poison Ivy

1 has Penguin Deadshot and Two Face

1 has Jonah Hex and Space Cabbie and

one has the generic go inside someone to save them from dying cliche episode and one with Athena and hive

[CyberCubed]

I've still never seen a single ep of this show, I'm probably waiting for it to end before I marathon it. Knowing Cartoon Network they'll probably cancel it in the next year anyway.

Its coming to dvd October 10th

I never thought about this Hamill inspired triple threat.

I know Cartoon Network has absolutely no interest in continuing this series, which by the way was my final strike for them. I am 100% done with that network and it's garbage, after the way that it treated JLA and Transformers: Robots in Disguise. But I wonder if there's any chance at all of Justice League Action getting picked up on the DC digital service that Young Justice is going to be featured on. It is really a shame that this series didn't get a chance. It was really good.

[CyberCubed]

Looking back, Brave and the Bold was the last DC cartoon to get a full run with 65 episodes (and then a movie with the recent Scooby Doo crossover). But that's because Brave and the Bold came out in 2008, a decade ago CN still had some interest in action shows.

How would you compare JLA to Brave and the Bold? I haven't watched all of JLA yet, do you prefer it? I think Brave and the Bold had some better stories.

Cartoon Network did not care to promote Justice League during its Unlimited banner. It was moved to 10pm on Saturday and one never knew when new episodes were coming out without digging in the internet for information. So promoting DC shows has never been a,thing for Cartoon Metwork. I mean for a couple of years Super Friends were regulated to 2am Sunday morning slot during that same period.

JLU still got tons of promotion and an added 13 ep season when people thought it was over. If you look at the review threads on toonzone it was heavily popular and promoted at the time.

[sdp]

Toon Zone is not a good measure of how popular something was, it was a forum for nerds i.e. a niche. With that said, Unlimited was heavily promoted enough that I decided to check it out. At that time the only cartoon I watched was Teen Titans since I thought cartoons were for kids but I liked the tongue in cheek aspect of TT. There were tons of constant commercials promoting Unlimited that I decided to check it out and ended up loving it and getting into cartoons again.

So JLA is done for good? A shame that kids today don't have long running superhero shows anymore, just the flavor of the month every two years. This show looked fun and I look forward to watching it one day. We really did live in a golden age of superhero cartoons during the 90s and 00s.

[CyberCubed]

Toonzone was heavily active in the early/mid 2000's, that's why. Back then it was THE place to talk about cartoons online, especially DC cartoons where even Bruce Timm would post often.

Nowadays like all forums it's a barren wasteland, but back in the early 2000's to about 2008 or so it was active. Social media has killed it.

[sdp]

I know Toon Zone was super active, I spent so much time there and i found it while looking for Teen Titans news, a great place for discussions of animation in the 00's. But Toon Zone killed itself though, it banned some good regulars (including me :lol:) and made too many dumb people into mods who made lame topics which killed discussion.

They must've been hurting for members that they unbanned many people and asked them to come back including me and I tried to rejoin the forums but there was no discussion and the software their using is so damn annoying, I can't even use the forums anymore to search for old conversations since it's so bloated.

But yeah, forums are dead, they've been replaced by crappier discussions on Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr/youtubers/discord channels and none of those have the same level of discussions forums have. It seems /co/ has the most thought inducing discussions but it's also filled with the regular 4chan nonsense and posts are deleted forever.

I still have over 11,000 posts posts on toonzone, I registered there back in 2004 like I did on every major website in the early 2000's. I posted almost everywhere online back then, I've probably been on forums you didn't even know I was there. And now I'm too busy spreading my influence on ResetEra. :lol:

As for 4chan, there is occasionally some decent discussion there, you just have to avoid all the waifu threads and the constant discussion about anime fanservice and porn. /vp/ is filled with constant threads about pokegirls and suggestive fanart than discussion about the games. :lol:

I think I probably liked Justice League Action about as much as I did Batman The Brave & The Bold. They were both really fun, easy to watch shows. If Cartoon Network would've given JLA the type of exposure that it gave Teen Titans Go, it could've easily been as popular.

I remember the fifth season having to go to the old DC Comics message boards and the old tvtome now tv.com to find out new episode air dates. Fans questioned why the lack of promotion. I would love to see this revived in some way, no bat embargo and have Aquaman more official.

[ZariusTwo]

Heh, Toon Zone was the first website I actively held a long-standing grudge over due to how many roastings they gave cartoons I grew up on. I wound up contributing to the loss of their article on Wikipedia due to all the arguments we had with them over there, and I constantly rejoined the forums after a permanent ban just to further arguments along (I had so much free time back then)

Good times. Kind of glad to see it's all gone tits up for them in recent years.

I think these are are just them burning off the episodes that were available online.

[M.O.D.O.K.]

While CN hasn't treated this show as badly as Beware the Batman, it still sucks that they killed all momentum for it.

There's even an "upcoming" episode that would've made fans of Green Lantern: The Animated Series flip, but all of these delays and bad scheduling killed any hype this show had. The YouTube shorts are more well-known to people than the proper episodes.

[CyberCubed]

At this point I think WB is going to be done with Cartoon Network and just put new shows on their streaming service.

CN canceled Young Justice, Beware the Batman, Green Lantern: TAS and now Justice League action all without giving them a chance. Anything that wasn't Teen Titans Go was cast aside.

As I said before, Brave and the Bold was lucky enough it started in 2008...a decade ago CN still gave DC shows a chance and that's why it got a full run of 65 episodes. If Brave and the Bold came out any later it likely would have been canceled after 26 eps.

[PApagreg]

Everyone should watch the show just to see Hannibal Buress voicing Mr Terrific

Now that the show has been over for quite a while and time to digest how it was, what was the quality of the show? I'm in a DC mood and frankly from what I've seen it looks awesome.

[CyberCubed]

I watched the whole show a year ago and it's pretty great. It's only 26 eps long (well really 52 eps since there's two 11 minute eps in each episode), and then there's about 15 or so 2 minute shorts with complete new animation as some extra funny eps, I saw those all on youtube.

I'm really surprised they canceled it because it was the perfect mix of action and comedy. I was surprised how much fight scenes there actually were, I was expecting something more along the lines of TT Go with a little more action...but no this is a full action cartoon. There's fighting in every episode but it's light hearted and fun.

Kevin Conroy voicing Batman is great and this version of Wonder Woman is much better than the JLU version.

[ABrown]

@sdp, you should definitely give Justice League Action a watch. It was a very entertaining, not too serious, show that the whole family would find entertaining. It's a shame that Cartoon Network treated the show (along with the 2015 Transformers: Robots in Disguise series) like $hit. The treatment of those two shows were the final reason I needed to stop watching CN all together.
