Cartoon Network is bringing viewers more of the beloved Justice League superheroes. DC Comics announced on its blog Friday that the channel will soon be the home of Justice League Action, a new, quarter-hour series from Warner Bros. Animation. Better still, the series will feature the voices of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, who previously voiced Batman and the Joker, respectively, in previous installments of the TV franchise.

In the new series, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman will join faces with a rotating group of fellow DC Comics heroes to continue keeping the world safe. They’ll have to deal with a variety of dangerous threats, from invaders from space to strange magical forces. At just 11 minutes apiece, episodes are described as “tightly-paced,” but they’ll still be action-packed and “exciting.”

Conroy, who has worked on the series’ predecessors, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, made sure to spread word of the latest addition, sharing a “photo” on Twitter of himself and Hamill.

Conroy and Hamill’s well-known voices will be joined by those of several other familiar voice actors, including James Wood (Lex Luthor), Diedrich Bader (Booster Gold), and more. The creative side is also packed with DC Comics vets. Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!) will serve as executive producer, while Butch Lukic (Justice League), Alan Burnett (Batman: The Animated Series), and Jim Krieg (Green Lantern: The Animated Series) will produce.

The Justice League’s TV and film presence has been especially notable of late and looks to continue to be. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is set to hit theaters in March, with a two-part Justice League film coming in 2017 and 2019. Fans also have numerous standalone films starring Justice League characters to look forward to, so it’s definitely an exciting time to be a DC Comics lover.

No release date for Justice League Action has yet to be announced.

Deadpool & Wolverine’s ending, explained
A masked Ryan Reynolds covers his mouth as Hugh Jackman glowers in a still from the movie "Deadpool & Wolverine."

Deadpool & Wolverine has superhero-landed in theaters, making for the Marvel Cinematic Universe's biggest blockbuster event yet. This threequel shows the Merc with a Mouth getting drafted to the Time Variance Authority and teaming up with a variant of Wolverine to save his universe from destruction. Since the film features the return of 20th Century Fox's mutant heroes, fans have been dying to see how it will affect the MCU at large.

Kevin Feige said in a press conference that Deadpool & Wolverine would finally begin the MCU's "Mutant Era." He also said to Gizmodo that, on a scale of 1 to 10, the impact the film would have on the MCU would be an 8, while stating that Avengers: Infinity War would be a 9 and Avengers: Endgame a 10. The idea that Deadpool's third film would come anywhere close to those two films in terms of impact hinted at some huge changes. Let's break down the film and what its ending means for the MCU.

The best movies on Amazon Prime Video (July 2024)
Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell turn around in a small car, looking concerned.

Is it a coincidence that the same weekend that Deadpool & Wolverine opens in theaters is the exact time that Amazon Prime Video debuts one of last summer's top action films? Quite possibly. But Prime Video certainly understands that Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning is going to be a big streaming draw now that it's no longer exclusive to Paramount+. Additionally, Prime Video is also streaming Bob Marley: One Love, a music biopic that debuted in theaters earlier this year. That's a great one-two punch for Prime Video.

For younger viewers and families, Prime Video has the recent arrival,  My Spy: The Eternal City, as well as an assortment of films from MGM, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, and Paramount. You can find all of our picks for the best movies on Amazon Prime Video below.
