Fans of DC Comics and their world of characters may be in for a treat in 2012.
The Cartoon Network has announced a “DC Nation” programming block as being part of their plans for next year. The cable channel already has Young Justice and has a Green Lantern animated series on the way; could this mean we’ll be getting more? Maybe this could be where they could put that live-action Blue Beetle project that Geoff Johns has wanted to do.
Here are quotes from the Cartoon Network press release:
Debuting in 2012 as a multi-platform franchise, DC Nation will be the exclusive home for original DC animation properties. Backed by the production, publishing and marketing resources of Warner Bros., DC Entertainment and Cartoon Network, DC Nation will be an on-air and online programming block populated with event programming, interstitials, exclusive behind-the-scenes of theatrical production and an insider look into the world of all things DC.
“DC Nation on Cartoon Network will be the first-ever dedicated broadcast destination to showcase the depth and breadth of the DC Universe,” said Diane Nelson, President of DC Entertainment. “We and our partners at WBTV are thrilled that fans will be able to immerse themselves in DC’s phenomenal stories, experience a wide spectrum of amazing characters and stay up-to-date on the latest happenings of the world’s greatest superheroes and their creators, both on-air and online.”

this is FANTASTIC news! i am SO excited to see this!!
Beyond awesome. Hopefully it will mean more good new shows like YJ on top of good reruns.
I wonder if they’ll air any of the DC DTV movies?
I heard they plan on ending Brave and Bold eventually and replacing it with a new bat show. Frankly, I never want to see Brave and Bold end! Maybe this will encourage them to keep it around longer or at least in constant reruns.
Let’s see Marvel do that. Ha!
This is fantastic news!
This makes me love Cartoon Network even MORE! W00t!!
