'Young Justice' and 'Green Lantern' Cancelled by Cartoon Network?

Say it ain't so!

Many of us saw this coming, but that doesn't make this any less heartbreaking! Cartoon Network's latest press release lists new and returning shows and unfortunately fan favorites Young Justice and Green Lantern aren't on it! First the unexplained delay, now this? I'll let that sink in and give you a moment or two to vent.

No Caption Provided

Despite being widely loved by comic fans, the two animated shows didn't appear on the list. Instead, Teen Titans Go! and Beware the Batman made the cut.

This is very disappointing news, especially after Green Lantern shocked us with such a powerful episode ("Loss"). Viners, this is where I usually ask you to sound off, but I think a moment of silence is more appropriate.

OH MAN, It doesn't really effect me that much, but man is my girlfriend going to HATE THIS. She was just complaining about the Hiatus, now this. Guess I'll break the news to her on our way to the Comic Convention.

I'm not surprised at all for Young Justice since we know that the first and the second season are a complete story. Cartoon Network ordered 46 episodes and they're gonna air all of them. They are not cancelling it, they are not renewing it, big difference.

But I have to say I'm a bit disapointed with Green Lantern, I knew CN ordered only 26 episodes (here again complete story) but I hoped they could renew it. I was too naive I think.

@FearTheLiving:

You basically hit the nail on the head. If it's a good show on cartoon network, it's already cancelled. Luckily Avatar is only on nickelodeon.

Start watching AEMH they cancel it, I then turn my attention to Young Justice they cancel it... I'm getting the feeling I should stop watching good shows, maybe all the bad ones will get canceled.

Everything on adult swim is terrible. And that's what a boycott does: it reduces their ratings.

Annnd we're done. First symbionic titan, now they're axing both GL and YJ. Fuck cartoon network. I will not even bother watching anything on that channel. If the show is quality and made by ACTUAL animators and story tellers, you can expect CN to just cancel it. Remember back in the fall when CN just yanked the dc universe block with NO EXPLAINATION? Yeah, i was waiting for this shoe to drop. I'm done with that channel. Adult swim has been ass ever since they stopped showing animation and started making fakeass jackass shows and stoner shows. (tom and eric? what the fuck is that bullshit?!)

I'm so pissed by this news. These were great shows and I am not watching the teen titans shit they've come up with if its going to continue as it was. It needs to be more dramatic and less silly. Like say YOUNG JUSTICE! And Batman might be good but it seems like its veering far from comics and such. I dont think I'm going to enjoy either of these.

This news legitimately ruined my day. God, Cartoon Network drives me nuts. First they got rid of the excellent Thundercats. Now both Young Justice and Green Lantern? Young Justice, at least from my research, even seems to have been getting a good viewership. Better than at least a few of the other shows they're renewing.

I could understand making room for new shows to an extent. The fact remains though that they're bringing in a continuation of a show that's already had five seasons and a movie, with Teen Titans Go! (not to mention dumbing down the animation) and putting out another Batman show. Of which there's been at least three prominent ones already. Green Lantern has only gotten one season and now it's canned? It just isn't right.

This make's no sense why make create a segment called DC Nation and then CAN it's only two and best shows,now i'm hoping Beware the BatMan will be good but with the way things are going if is good Cartoon network will probably tank it,Its like networks think that cartoons should be mindless kids don''t want mindless they love the stories the action the problems,this is truly messed up i'm afraid if i tell my little brother he'll cry think break it to him gently.

Seriously, canceling these shows is stupid. There's no reason why they can't cut back on the What's New Scooby Doo reruns (they show that crap more than the superior Mystery Inc cartoon) and make DC Nation a two hour block and air all four shows

I'm not surprised. CN and Disney XD/Marvel have been COMPLETE UTTER S.O.B.S when it comes to awesome superhero cartoons! They don't care how many people watch. They don't care how big the ratings are. THEY ARE TOTAL JERKWADS!!!!!

I curse their names!!

@Reignmaker: Kids stations have older kids, tweens, and teen blocks, dc nation could of been a teen block but its understandable that kids (idk how stop so much stuff for kids) can somehow spend more money than adults :/ weird, last time I remembered having a job and spending ludicrous amounts of cash on nerd swag, which had to account to more than my 5 year old cousins ipad. Idk even think the toy market is that thriving to justify kids running everything. They don't cancel adult swim, and it is still technically on cartoon network, just at a time "when kids shouldn't be awake" even though now being 22, I still remember late nights as a kid staying up to watch adult swim. So I mean kids are watching family guy and Robot Chicken, but they won't watch a genuinely good show on in the morning about superheroes.......*cries lol jk* Sorry for ranting but I don't think the children show is legitimate, when I was a kid we had X-Men cartoons and that dealt with very adult concepts but yet it was on in the morning in a kids slot. Usually superhero shows cross the age gap, parents can watch them with their kids. So I don't think age was the issue, it obvious there wasn't enough ratings, prob only fans like myself, were watching, whereas normal kids are only tuning in for adventure time or w/e stupid shit they watch.

With the direction Young Justice was going...it was no where but down. Even though the show still had potential to turn over a new leaf and bring back fans. They just and Young Just-ended it already. Alas, poor Superboy...I knew ye well.

I support the youth, but I hate this generation. When Ben 10 and Annoying Orange has more ratings than these stellar shows, you know kids are looking up to the wrong heroes. Hopefully Warner Bros release the rest on DVD. What a shame..

I really enjoyed those shows and now I feel like my hearts been ripped out. I don't see the reason for making teen titans go an animated show since there were other shorts which were much more popular than those shorts like plastic man, super best friends forever, animal man and the batman of shanghai. I've seen the polls and these shorts completely out paces the teen titans go shorts and I really don't want to see beware the batman, I'm more interested in green lantern and other stuff right now and I never cared for professor pyg and mr toad in the comics.

More proof that cartoon network is run by morons. Green lantern being cancelled doesn't bother me at all. But Young Justice was a good show and showed a lot of diversity as did Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, which was so good the CW plays its reruns for it's saturday morning line-up.

Who is making these dumb decisions? I say we all send emails and Boycott CN.

This is some booty!!!! First they stop showing cartoons 24/7 on cartoon network; who's ever at the top needs to be fired!! The few popular shows that they have on their network the get rid of they could have a least finished the season; I hope the HUB, Disney XD, or Boomerang get a hold of these shows. These shows don't deserve to go out like this. Cartoon network is trying to lose ratings. I may be one of Batman's biggest fans but this just isn't right; I thought they would have the good sense to add these shows to GL and Y. Justice. I'm so disappointed but not surprise.
