Justice League is on the Small Screen Again?
An interesting tidbit coming to us from ICv2. The website World’s Finest posted a tweet which is believed to be from a representative of Cartoon Network Canada that the network will start airing a new Justice League series this next Fall 2016. It is possible since Warner Bros. Animation is tied pretty close with Cartoon Network and in early 2016, the Batman v. Superman movie hits. So this is one of those items that we will just have to wait and see. But it wold be fun to have the Justice League back on the air.
New DC Animation
Warner Bros. Animation announced that the next three DC Comics animated features. They will be Batman: Bad Blood, Justice League vs. Titans, and Batman: The Killing Joke. The Killing Joke is a very dark story so that is an interesting choice and how they will approach the story. Hopefully they will go a little beyond the story to show that Barbara Gordon doesn’t descend into a dark depression, but works her way through the incident that has changed her life.

They do tackle more complex issues and themes, so these should be placed in you Young Adult section or if you have a separated out anime/animation collection place them there.
