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.

October 6, 2017: Summary of panel. It includes more characters than seen in the original comic, many suspects who could be Jack the Ripper, not sure yet if rating will be PG-13 or R, at least one sequence that makes you squirm a little bit, not a direct adaptation of Mike Mignola's visual style but the crew took some visual cues the comics and fused that with their traditional animation styles, tried to get as much shadow as possible on Jack the Ripper, first clip has Batman attacking the criminal that's taken charge of the boys and made them pickpockets, and directs them to go to an orphanage and turn around their lives, there's a real emotional arc for Bruce, Selina is an actress/adventurer, and inspired by Sherlock Holmes character Irene Adler and is an equal to Bruce Wayne, they investigate the tragedy together, second clip shown is of Batman and Selina Kyle fighting Jack the Ripper in a slaughterhouse, Alan Burnett said he always wanted to set a scene in a slaughterhouse, movie isn't aiming for historical accuracy, crew are fans of the show Penny Dreadful, Sister Leslie (Thompkins) makes a strong presence in the movie, and the movie has DC Comics Easter eggs, Jack the Ripper Easter Eggs and Sherlock Holmes Easter eggs.

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.

December 31, 2018: It's been two years since Wally's death and Nightwing has been apparently leading a small black ops team to uncover a metahuman trafficking ring. Tigress is a part of Nightwing's black ops team. Black Lightning joined with Nightwing's team after a battle with what he thought was alien monster that was really a human who was forcibly experimented on. Kaldur also became the new leader of the Justice League. Brion Markov willingly experiments on himself to unlock his metagene and the superpowers that come with it to save his country. Halo is one of the victims of metahuman trafficking but is later saved by Nightwing and Artemis. She eventually becomes part of the Outsiders team. Halo can create different auras with different functions, including red for a heat beam and green for a stasis beam. Forager is from New Genesis and is part of a society of humanoid bugs. Like all New Gods, he has superhuman strength and reflexes but can also curl up into a ball like Sphere. Static did take up Black Lightning on his offer and sought his tutoring for his powers. Thirtreen is the daughter of paranormal investigator Doctor Thirtreen and tapped into Metropolis' "urban magic" to unlock her powers. She can access the knowledge of cities she's in, fire mystical blasts, track auras, and control bodies for a short time. Thirteen also has a psychic link with her pet iguana Leroy and briefly dated Blue Beetle. Jaime Reyes is now in perfect harmony with Scarab but Apokoliptian technology remains a great danger to them. Beast Boy is an actor on a hit sci-fi show and is an advocate for the anti-metahuman trafficking movement, but still remains a superhero when the time allows. CBR Article

July 16, 2018: TV Guide Comic-Con special magazine reveals Supergirl and Wonder Woman go by Kara Danvers and Diana Prince. The core theme is "mashing up being super and being teenagers." Kara craves the glory and fame of her cousin, Superman. The writers draw a lot from their own experiences as teenagers. Teen versions of The Flash, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and Hawkman will appear, but with the exception of one boy they will mainly emphasize friendship with the boys rather then crushes or romantic interests.

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 22, 2018: Q&A with cast and crew. SyFy Wire YouTube
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
