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

[Frontier]

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.

I've seen some people tweet some pics of JLA toys on the stands (but I don't recall which stores).

If Justice League Action goes to the streaming service I will pull the trigger and get a subscription (at least for a few months). I wouldn't be willing to do that for just Young Justice, Harley Quinn, and Titans.

To let everyone know Episode 47 Watchtower Tours has been posted on Itunes

Justice League Action also isn't airing on Cartoon Network on Saturday, January 20th.

Bad news from Tomb Of The Cartoon Monkey--

https://tombcartoonmonkeyskeleton.blogspot.com/2018/01/work-around-town-too.html?m=1

That site also says that Milo Murphy's Law is ending and Bunsen Is a Beast is ongoing. I think I'd rather hear from something more official, like one of the creators/writers before I believe anything from this website.

That website also says that Close Enough is an Adult Swim show when it's 100% confirmed to be TBS. it's just plain unreliable. But I do think JLA is dead unless it moves to the streaming service

I just assumed it was listed under there because an Adult Swim animation studios is working on it.

If this news is true...ugh.

Frankly, JLA was too good for Cartoon Network. I can only hope the new streaming service picks it up.

Much like "Beware the Batman", I've been unable to watch the entire thing all together. So, this kinda is equally disappointing. I'm thankful to have seen some eps, and based on the numbers, over half of the shorts.

I'm not surprised. When season 2 wasn't confirmed at New York Comic-Con I began to worry.

I was worried as soon as it was apparent it hadn't gotten a guaranteed second season-order like other CN shows .

If the blog is accurate about Justice League Action ending, I think it mostly means that Cartoon Network won't be involved with a potential new season. But I still hope there's the possibility of the DC Streaming Service to produce new episodes (or only short webisodes) somewhere down the line.

I certainly hope DC/WB will feel passionate or confident enough about JLA to find a way to keep it going somehow if Cartoon Network has, once again, proven to not be the right fit for it.

Obviously there's plenty of interest from the cast and crew to keep it going .

Yeah, but one thing to take in account is the underperformance of JL the movie. The Studio executives have very good reason to steer clear of this. JLA just needs a bigger fan base at this point, but alas it won't matter.

Don't forget Executive Meddling also as well.

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 .

It's all about branding. They should have called it "Justice League Teen Titans Go! Action".

Sounds like they needs a Theme song.

Sorry to hear that JLA is ending (if what's been reported is true), but at least there have been 52 episodes (some of which have yet to air) and 22 shorts. That's a pretty good number of fun, one-shot escapades! A second season would have been great if it had involved some two-part stories and perhaps less focus on the Trinity (for the sake of variety) but alas it looks as though we won't get to see that.

I guess we can safely say WB killed JLAction by tainting the whole brand thanks to their decision to become the Anti Marvel. Weird how it only lasted 5 years.

Man of Steel came out in 2013.

Anti Marvel? Hunk? What do you mean?
