Justice League Action is the name of an animated television series made by Warner Bros. Animation, based on the superhero characters of DC Comics. It was broadcast on the Cartoon Network in the USA in a series of episodes between December 16, 2016 and June 3, 2018, and was supplemented by a series of short online "webbisodes" posted on the DC Kids Youtube channel during 2017. There has been no public announcement concerning the current status of the show so it is assumed that no further episodes are planned.
Description
The show concerns the adventures of the superheroes of the Justice League organisation made popular by DC Comics and with emphasis on action and humor. The main characters are Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, and almost every episode includes at least one of them. The stories normally involve members in a team-up to tackle a menace that they cannot deal with individually, like a threat to the whole world, an alien threat, or a supernatural one. Some stories, however, involve a superhero dealing with a more local villain but assisted by other superheroes that just happen to be members of the Justice League.
