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.

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.
