CN pulls DC Nation fans sign petition as iTunes premieres new episodes

Watch online

While the buzz went all over the net, CN quickly twittered that they will absolutely bring DC Nation back, but fans would have to wait until January 2013. Cartoon Network is currently celebrating their 20 years of existence, which might explain the change of schedule, although most fans think the new hiatus is just another way of prolonging the current season.

Meanwhile, its business as usual at iTunes, that made new episodes of  The Green Lantern TAS and Young Justice available for download yesterday. Meaning, that if you want to check out your what your favorite characters are up to, youll have to pay for it.
Already fans have created a petition to force CN to bring back their favorite shows, so if youre feeling the rage, make sure to leave your John Hancock there and/or get to iTunes asap. Word is the fresh batch of episodes wont be up for long at iTunes, once CN learns of the mistake. (For the new Green lantern episodes, youll need a season pass, although some fans seem to have found a workaround).

DC Nation premiered on Cartoon Network on March 8th this year, showing new cartoons featuring popular characters from DC Comics. DC Nation had just returned after a hiatus of four months, showing a few new episodes before CN decided to pull it off the air.

My guess is, the remaining episodes of both shows will not air until 2013, in order to catch more attention for the upcoming CG animated Beware the Batman and Teen Titans Go!, two new animated shows that will be part of DC Nation next year.



Above: The past meets the future in a scene from Before the Dawn, the episode from Young Justice that didnt air on CN this weekend, written by Kevin Hopps and directed by Tim Divar. The Blue Beetle fights Black Beetle after he was captured by extra terrestrials known as The "Reach and rescued by Impulse. He learned that if not stopped, Black Beetle will be the one to take over the Earth and enslave mankind in the future. All animations on Young Justice are done by Lotto Animations in South Korea.

Below: Hal Jordan AKA The Green Lantern is transported to an alternate world where steam is still the main power source in Steam Lantern. The unaired 15th episode was written by Ernie Altbacker and directed by Rick Morales. The first season consists of 26 episodes in total. A DVD containing the first part of this season was released on August 28 (unfortunately no HD release known as of date). All animation work on TGLTAS is done by CGCG in Taiwan (also responsible for Star Wars The Clone Wars).
