My fingers are crossd that DC Nation "block" means a 2-hour window of programming. They can air GL, Brave & Bold, YJ and mix in reruns of past series. I'd like to see a "Showcase" series featuring an eclectic mix of shorts, similar to the Blu-Ray shorts, although that might be too much wishful thinking. @Samurai36 you forgot the Lgion of Super Heroes cartoon…

Hopefully, they'll use this block to not only exploit their existing library of DCU animated series, but also feature new 'motion comic'(flash animation) original mini-episodes and short features about what's new in the DC comic book universe (a GREAT opportunity to promote their print comics, and hopefully NOT just the "DC Kids" line, either).

A revival of B: TAS, with Kevin Conroy (although Bruce Greenwood is acceptable), would be a great thing. Actually, I still feel like the last two segments of the Gotham Knights animated movie (the one with young Bruce traveling overseas, and the one where Batman battles Killer Croc) are excellent, have great animation, and either/both would make an awesome template for a new Batman animated series for grown-ups. That would probably have to be more an Adult Swim series though. “If this does not include Batman: The Animated Series then it is a fail.”

That'll be a good reason to NOT tune in. I do have high hopes for the GL animated series. Hire Nathan Fillion to voice Hal, and give us wide range of characters from the Corps (also bring back Phil Lamarr as John Stewart!), and I'll watch religiously. Well, I'll watch religiously if it's good. Put Bruce Timm in charge and it probably will be.

It's OK, but I wouldn't go THAT FAR. YJ isn't even half as good as Justice League was in its best episodes. Too much inane teen talk, and every episode I find myself wishing the grown-ups were getting into the action too. Batman only giving lectures, for instance, just doesn't do it for me. Basically, I just wish there were more Justice League being made. Anyhow, a few weeks ago I would've said Fringe is the best thing on TV. But the plot twists of the last 3-4 episodes have me wondering if the show hasn't jumped the shark/nuked the fridge/whatever. I'm still watching though, and it's still been a (mostly) great show. As for DC Nation, sounds interesting... Now that the House of Mouse has the House of Ideas, it makes sense for WB-owned Cartoon Network to develop a full slate of DC programs. I only hope that some of them will be aimed more at adults, and will be of the same quality that B:TAS and JL were in their best episodes. “Right now, YJ is the best thing on TV.”

Blue Beetle was enough of a hit in B:tB&tB that I think he's probably being considered. Stars and STRIPE is a great idea. I've been waiting patiently for a revamp of Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld as a girl's adventure show that I think it's time.

I have no idea how the ratings are, but I'd be happier to see this replace YJ than include it. I really hope this will include a lot of the other characters from the DCU and not turn into the Bruce and Hal show. More like when Justice League became Unlimited.

Gotta do Power Girl!!! Or how about an adult swim version of Lobo?! They had a great online Lobo webisodes back in the late 90's/early part of 2000, but unfortunately they got cut.
