News and Notes – DC Nation pulled from Cartoon Network

Without warning or any announcement to viewers Cartoon Network pulled new episodes of Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice (along with new DC Nation animated shorts) only three weeks into the new seasons of each show in favor of reruns of Johnny Test and episodes of the network’s new show Dragons: Riders of Berk.

At the time of this posting none of the official sites (including Cartoon Network’s homepage, the DC Nation homepage, or DC Comics’ homepage) had any acknowledgement or explanation for the last-minute change. In fact Cartoon Network’s official page for Green Lantern: The Animated Series still has the show’s schedule listed at 10/9 Central on Saturday mornings. According to Rising Sun Tokusatsu the DC Nation block was quietly removed from Cartoon Network’s schedule at 1AM Saturday morning for at least the rest of October.
