"Justice League Action" News & Discussion Thread, Part 5 (Spoilers)

[Yojimbo]

I guess it might be cheaper to continue doing webisodes for the DC Kids Channel, but I'm not sure how much of a cost incentive there might be to keep producing those without anything backing it up.

And it's a matter of staff, we know they wrapped in September thanks to that blog link posted recently. So 3 months might already be difficult to get the staff back together. Just the producers for example Lukic is producing on at least one other project already, Constantine, and who knows what else. Krieg is flexible because he's always writing movie scripts on the side but he could already be producing something else, too, that hasn't been announced.

If CN decides to drop it, the obvious
Alternative is that the new streaming service
Picks it up!!

You do realize they would also make another JL based show for the streaming service since this was made for Awarness of the Movie.

I would much rather have a SHAZAM cartoon series.

Let's not jump to assumptions.

I find it a tad ironic that this show was made to tie-in to the upcoming Justice League movie given how well that film went over .

In an ideal world, I'd much rather have both, though we did get some solid Shazam stuff on this show .

I think the new streaming service is going to really
Open the floodgates when it comes to new animated
Content!! I’m sure they will reveal more at Comic Con
In July!!

A tentative airing schedule has surfaced, same 7 am EST Saturday slot:
January 13: Watchtower Tours
January 20: Barehanded
January 27: Captain Bamboozle

Watched Watchtower Tours, Barehanded and Captain Bamboozle on demand with Captain Bamboozle being the favorite of the three. Season is nearing the end hope its not a series finale because i have really enjoyed the show, growing up with the Super Friends which this show has that feel to it.

I watched Capt Bamboozle, The Red Scarlet ep and Party Animal on charter on-demand. Have not seen "Barehanded" or Keeping Up With The Kryptonians yet though

well kinda figured this! cartoon network SUCKS!

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

A real shame, but I doubt anybody would be too suprised. The writing was on the wall a long time ago when the show didn't appear on the CN upfronts press release.

A terrible time-slot, lack of re-runs and no effective promotion to speak of, CN made their decision early anyway. At least they aired the show in a timely fashion.

Losing a great voice cast with this one too.

I'll wait for confirmation before playing "Taps". Besides, there is still the (strong?) possibility of the show moving to DC's streaming service.

 

[Bestmand902]

Even more confirmation that CN is, objectively, garbage.

 

[Frontier]

I'm tempted to take this information with a grain of salt, but at the same time...with the way things have been going it doesn't really seem all that unlikely either, unfortunately .

I don't know what went wrong. Was it still too much of a DC action cartoon for CN's tastes? Did the ratings matter at all? Was the merchandise sales just not enough again ?

But whatever the reasoning, the truth is that, once again, a fun, charming, and great DC cartoon was cut short on Cartoon Network .

The way I see it, in regards to their marketing, scheduling, and merchandising, Cartoon Network is pretty much digging their own grave anyway.

Last month I saw a section of Justice League Action toys at Toys R Us. Since the merch appears to be selling well it could end up on there.
