Need to find older news or update information? Check out the Archives. For shows, shorts or movies that are no longer in active production such as Young Justice, all of the news about it is only located in the Young Justice section and not this news page. Also to note, for this news page, on the 15th and end of each month, I do delete older news if it has been revealed. For instance, if a May 5 news item reveals a new voice actor and role and the episode he actor guest stars in airs on May 10 then I will delete it on May 15 and the news item will only be on the show's news page and not this main news page.

In the middle of the day, they spent about an hour on the first pass picture edit of episode 3x07. They got through less than half of the episode. On April 5, 2018, Weisman had a meeting first thing in the morning to look at color backgrounds for episode 3x17. This was followed by Vietti and Weisman reviewing the storyboard for episode 3x23. They were interrupted, so Vietti could give notes on an animation test for 3x10. After, they went over to the Warner Bros. Ranch to meet with their bosses (something they do every other Thursday), then returned and tried to finish reviewing the 3x23 storyboard. For April 6, 2018, they are scheduled to review Ink & Paint on episode 3x16, then finish editing 3x07.

July 13, 2018: There will be a feature in TV Guide's Comic-Con Magazine. ComicBook Article
July 16, 2018: TV Guide Comic-Con special magazine reveals the Justice League has expanded but is stretched thin, which forces the younger heroes to pick up the slack. Spoiler won't have special powers but she's a skilled martial artist. Thirteen is a fun character who has inherited some natural "mystical" ability and she's being mentored by Zatanna. Forager has a certain charm and "is pretty cute" - something not done often on the show. Outsiders will explore this world built over the first two seasons through the eyes of characters who aren't sidekicks aren't born to be heroes. It's about a different group of kids who were developing powers and didn't know what they wanted to do in life, and how they see this world. It gives the first and second season characters the opportunity to step into the lives of these outsiders and help guide them to a better future. The show will be going to it's spy and mystery roots. Lex Luthor is now the UN secretary. There are definitely elements we are adapting from the Mike Barr and Jim Aparo Outsiders comics, a little New Teen Titans, and all sorts of other stuff.

July 20, 2018: Summary of Comic-Con panel. Jennifer Kluska is a director. First clip," The Late Batsby" featured Batgirl falling asleep while studying. She gets a call from Wonder Woman about having to fight Mr. Freeze. Her dad is still up, so she can't go running off and has a humorously frustrated reaction. Batgirl tries to catch up by any means possible, including going through sewers and people's apartments. And to our surprise, she's actually the first on the scene! The show explores balances your teenage life with your super life with the idea of secret identities. Batgirl is sleuth as a hero, but as a teen, she's a fangirl. Jessica Cruz, the Green Lantern, as a hero is a protector, but as a teen, she's an activist. Zatanna as hero is magic, but as a teen, she's a showoff. Wonder Woman is kind of a fish out of water, dealing with being a hero and with adolescent stuff like crushes. Has an accent. Barbara Gordon has an after-school job that is basically a Taco Bell. The second clip showed some of the girls in detention. Wonder Woman enters the room, to the awe of the others. In her introduction, she proclaims that she's not a girl, she's a woman before getting in a fight. The girls in the room inevitably all reveal, thanks to the deductions of Batgirl, that they all have powers and agree to band together. Katana is coming back, and there are big plans for her. Supergirl and Superman have a pretty strong storyline that will be featured on the show, a thing with Wonder Woman and her mom, and Batgirl with her dad. Barbara Gordon and Harley Quinzel are best friends that grew up together in Gotham, and they have no idea that they're beating each other up at night. Harley loves very hard. She loves her friend Barbara, and she makes bad choices for love. Newsarama Article

July 25, 2018: John de Lancie voices Mr. Freeze in the theatrical short. The series will be 11 minute episodes. Catwoman "is the leader and brains of the group who doesn't sully herself with physical fighting." Giganta and Livewire "are the typical school bullies but whereas Giganta is "the bully who might pound your face in, Livewire is going to kill your soul" Livewire uses a media channel to embarrass her victims, a modern teen angle on the character that is incredibly relevant. Poison Ivy was compared to Ally Sheedy's character from The Breakfast Club who is the waif and recluse most than likely talking to a potted plant. Zatanna might be voiced by Kari Wahlgren. Expect a Catwoman versus Supergirl conflict that will entail a brains versus brawn episode. Comics Beat Article
