In a world where Teen Titans GO! exists and isn’t so well received, Cartoon Network decided it’d be a good idea to pick up yet another DC related show in the same vein called Justice League Action.
“Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman lead the DC Comics Super Heroes against their most infamous foes in adventures packed with relentless thrills, fun and action. No need to wait for the good stuff to start, each eleven-minute episode jumps in with lightning-paced action and heroics. Whether defending the Earth, facing invaders from space, or battling the bizarre forces of magic, the always-rotating team of Justice League heroes, are up to any challenge.“
The show will air in 11-minute installments much like GO! and without a doubt will most likely be just as campy and ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong, there are some GO! episodes that are utterly hilarious but for the most part the show is so out of the box that it can be a little off-putting and annoying sometimes.
The best thing about the show is that much like Teen Titans GO! we will be having some of our favorites return to do voices. Not only will we have Kevin Conroy back as Batman but Mark Hamill will return as the Joker. James Woods is set to voice Lex Luthor and Diedrich Bader as Booster Gold. Not bad, right?
Blue Beetle, Harley Quinn, Shazam, Big Barda, Lobo and more are set to make appearances in the show as well.
Like I said, GO! has some moments where I find the show to be funny but I am in agreement with most of the people that don’t like it in that it REALLY wasn’t necessary to dumb the show down to that level just to appeal to children. I know PLENTY of children who enjoyed and still enjoy the original Teen Titans show. Justice League Action seems appealing to say the least and I will try to give it a chance. After all, despite not being as wacky and out of the box as GO! we’ve seen some great success with DC Super Hero Girls so who knows, it might be good.
