'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.

I didn't like either show, can't say I'm disappointed.

Couldn't the creators try to take the show to a different network for more seasons?

yeah If they could somehow remove all DC comics licensed characters, because CN still holds the deal to air the DC stuff, as evidenced by the new shows taking the place of these two.

I swear to God Nickelodeon is the only cartoon network that actually gives a sh*t about the fans. Disney cancelled both Spectacular Spider-Man and Avengers:EMH only to replace them with crap Now Cartoon Network does the same with two very good shows? it's complete B.S. Yet F*cking shows like Ben 10 can survive for almost nine years...

hey! the first couple years of Ben10 were good...

Maybe it isn't as bad as we think. They're not on the list this time but let's remember that DC Nation is a one hour block. Perhaps CN is just letting Beware the Batman and Teen Titans Go! get some screen time and we'll see Green Lantern TAS and Young Justice when Batman and Titans have finished up.

It's a shame to see the Green Lantern show go. It was nice to have Kilowog as a main character for once. I hope we get an ending for Young Justice before it ends. I hope they have time to tie up all of the plot threads.

@Smart_Dork_Dude: Yeah I agree about pretty much everything you just said. Beware the Batman seems like something we should beware as a cartoon. And I've never really been all that into the Green Lantern universe. That cartoon actually got me reading the Geoff penned series and backtracking quite a bit. Such a shame. At least they haven't messed up the movies they've been putting out.

I just died....T____T Don't care about the green lantern BUT Young justice was so good. Why? Why do all animations that are more mature get cancelled and completely ridiculous shows like family guy or south park stay around forever?

Just losing my patience for television cartoons, which is pretty sad since that's part of my schooling lol

They're really cancelling YJ for that Teen Titans Go crap? I admit, YJ did go downhill in season 2, but there's no reason to cancel it. And replacing it with that retarded Teen Titans go sh*t is just stupid. And While I haven't watched GL (I could never get past the horrible CGI), I'd much rather watch something about a guy like GL instead of ANOTHER Batman show (has anyone else noticed that each Batman cartoon is worse than it's preceeder? We went from TAS to The Batman to The Brave and the Bold. Beware will be sh*t). I think I'm done with Cartoon Network, no matter what they air.

Wow...If this is true, I guess I suspected as much. I mean, Cartoon Network has an awful way of handiling the airing of YJ seasons. It'll be going strong and then all of a sudden stop. I'm hoping this isn't true

I got about 4 episodes into Young Justice before falling off on it. I can tell it's good but the teeny-bopper styling persisted too much to get me through any more episodes. Now that it's ending it seems like the perfect time to dive back in and see how good it really is. Have seen about half an episode of Green Lantern and was not feeling it.

Everyone saying Cartoon Network is going to fold because of this needs a reality check. Cartoon Network still thrives off of Adventure Time and Regular Show, it's not going to die because of the loss of YJ and GL; but they're still idiots for doing so.

My guess is the kids with fatty brains will like Teen Titans Go a lot better than Young Justice.

I am really pissed about Green Lantern, but I hated young justice, and I'm glad to see it go. To be fair though, it is certainly worlds better than that crappy teen titans cash grab that they are inflicting on us.

it's the same thing that happened with Wolverine and the X-Men and Avengers!! WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS!!

At least Avengers: EMH had a definite ending (and needed more Beast). I STILL suffer separation anxiety from Wolvie and the X-Men.

THEY WERE ABOUT TO START THE AGE OF APOCALYPSE!!! *sob, sob*

All I can say is that they'd better not end them, especially Young Justice, on a cliffhanger with unanswered questions, I hate it when they do that. I say, if they want to end a show, they need to end it properly, with closure.

Still to cancel shows, especially Young Justice, that are showing their potential is just downright mean.

(I guess you can tell my favourite it Young Justice)

and if the info I found is right, we have 6 episodes (14-20) of Young Justice & 7 episode (20-26) of Green Lantern left
