We can add Young Justice to Cartoon Network’s animation causality list. Tomorrow morning will bring us the series finales of two DC Nation shows, Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice: Invasion. When the two series were abruptly pulled from the schedule last fall and didn’t resume their runs until January, I don’t think fans were surprised to learn that they did not make the cut when Cartoon Network announced their new and returning shows for 2013.
Filling in the gaps in the DC Nation line-up will be Teen Titans Go! and Beware the Batman. Star Wars: The Clone Wars has also ended its five season run on the network, with Lucasfilm ‘winding’ down production on that show and releasing what it has left probably on DVD or airing on Disney XD.
Young Justice took an edgy turn with its Invasion storyline, taking the Justice League apprentices into a future storyline and expanding the cast greatly with a generous line-up of DC heroes. It’s unfortunate to see its the end of the road, meeting the same fate of its predecessors Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.
Here are some images featuring from tomorrow’s swan song episode, Endgame, even one featuring four generation of The Flash. “On the verge of finally ending the alien invasion, the team discovers the price of victory may be the entire planet Earth!” is how Cartoon Network describes the episode.
