Young Justice, Green Lantern: TAS Cancelled

[Jmaxximus]

Not sure who was watching these shows but I kind of watch anything comic, game, of hero related. I said to here this news...

Green Lantern: The Animated Series producer Giancarlo Volpe has confirmed on Twitter that his series is in fact cancelled. Additionally, a Warner Bros. Animation rep has confirmed the cancellations to Newsarama. Meanwhile, fans have started petitions here and here to bring the shows back. Read on for our original report...

Cartoon Network has revealed its 2013-2014 lineup of programming, and perhaps not surprising -- but disappointing all the same -- is the absence of Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series on the list of returning shows. Yes, it seems as though the net's DC Nation block of programming will be retooled later this year, dropping those two fan-fave shows in favor of the new Beware The Batman and Teen Titans GO! Such is the life of a superhero…

I'm not the kind of person to prematurely judge shows so I'll give Beware and TT GO a little leeway.

Still sucks to hear that those shows are canceled though

Man the last episode of GL was a tear jerker, and they were just getting the show up and going really. I'm mad they're taking these shows off the air. Young Justice had some problems with plot holes but it was still a good show. Young Justice really had high quality animation. Another season and we could have had the Sinestro Corps appear on GL....

But alas, CN really wanted more Annoying Orange as oppose to good ol comic based shows.

... seriously why an Annoying Orange show? Isn't that what his YouTube account is for?

Because it gives Danebo and Tobuscus more money

sad sad sad, both were good shows specially young justice for me it was a good show specially the fact that it has a lot of the dc universe legends, kinda makes me angry that the writters dont make full shows like the 90s  (full shows for me are 5 or 4 seasons at least ) but  what can someone do right?

[Lanier1996]

To tell u the truth I didnt like young justice because the plot didnt make sense and seem kinda boring.

[CosmicToxin]

  why dont they get rid of the dumb shows like ninjago and annoying orange? OK, maybe not ninjago but def that fruity show. if cartoon network had any common sense left they would just keep all DC shows old and new

[laspacho]

They need to bring back Thundercats for another season.

Under that quote you found is this

The writing has been on the wall for Young Justice and Green Lantern for some time now, and while this isn't an official confirmation of their cancellation, it would seem that it is a case of "no news is bad news."

[Danoartist]

This is definately dissapointing news, I like both shows. I can see why they have problems though. It seemed neither show knew where to properly begin! If you are watching GL now, I think they are trying to do now what should have been done in the first season, expanding the light spectrum! The first season was alright but, the red lanterns should never have been introduced before a GL Sinestro! They should have started with that and expand the lantern spectrum from there. Whatever, I have my opinions you have yours I could write about this until there was nothing left to say, shows come and go this is just disapointing because I actually was kind of looking forward to GL, YJ was under the radar a little for me and hasn't appealed the same way still a solid show.

I am definately not looking forward to TT Go! and if you have heard of the villains they have planned for the new Batman you'ld understand my lack of interest!

I actually like that they're giving more obscure villains the spotlight. A man can only take so much of the same old Batman villains

that would be a good idea but its gonna be on toonami if thundercats season 2 comes

This is just like the green lantern movie!

sorry i did an edit on the quote ,  but definitely this! who da hell watches that show anyway? its not even funny...at all. oh wait, it is called "Annoying" Orange ...but its still stupid. very stupid.

Simple answer: Money. Annoying Orange is very cheap make comparatively and I imagine the same for Ninjago (no clue what it is). Think about it: Orange is spawned from a cheap Youtube video. They probably pay more for the people to be in charge of the show than its actual cost of production.

Compare that to YJ, which requires formal animators to be payed, several  good VA's to be paid, and all the rest of the costs including licensing. Compared to its success, it isn't seen as 'worth it' anymore, unless YJ brought in insane amounts of viewers.

Ninjago is a 3d lego show, it isn't bad TBH but its lego so you cant expect to much.

Again, that sounds a lot cheaper than a pro animation team and a whole cast of writers and voice actors.

But it DOES have a cast of writers, voice actors and a pro animation team. Ive even spoken to one of the writers.

[SanjiSasuke]

Again, though, I would guess that they are probably less expensive to hire out. Plus there is the whole promotion that it is built around Lego sets (although I bet there are YJ toys, too, but doubt they sell as well)

Plus the big issue is the timing of the show. Saturday Mornings aren't too good for getting kids to watch shows (as a kid I always tried to wake up for Static Shock, though), thats why most big shows that succeeded on CN over the years were 6:30PM-9:00PM timeslots.

Also when did you get a chance to do that?

I will agree lego will outsell most things.

I have mixed feelings about saturday morning stuff, I mean I used to do it and if it really hurt a show then the pokemon and yu-gi-oh shows wouldnt be as popular with the kids as they are.But on the other hand, I did find myself missing more of pokemon then I did bragon ball Z, so I understand the argument.

We spoke on a bionicle forum, which btw is a much better series then ninjago.
