Young Justice & Green Lantern Cancellation

Earlier today it was announced that Teen Titans Go! and Beware the Batman would be added the fall line up of the DC Nation programming on Cartoon Network. Unfortunately that means the absence of two extremely popular and well received shows already in that time slot, Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice. It was officially announced through the Twitter feed of Giancarlo Volpe who produces Green Lantern.

Last year both shows were pulled from Cartoon Network unexpectedly and without any sort of notice. Fans, including myself, tuned in to watch two of their favorite shows only to find them replaced with a one hour block of Dreamworks Dragons. Later on the network revealed that the programs would return the following year to resume programming. It feels much like the pulling of the shows was a ruse to try and cause viewership to drop, but it may have backfired on the company.

A petition has already started up with nearly a complete set of signatures needed to get Cartoon Networks attention. If you cared about these shows and believe they should not be taken away so soon, then please take a moment to sign the petition. This doesn't mean the shows will stay, but it's at least taking a stand and showing the company that the fan base feels ignored.
