From Sci-Fi Wire:
Cartoon Network president Betty Cohen told the Fandom Web site
that itsupcoming animated Justice League series will indeed feature
Aquaman.
The series--from Batman/Superman producer Bruce Timm--is based
on the DCComics Justice League of America series.
The series will also feature the familiar DC superheroes Flash,
WonderWoman, Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter and a black Green Lantern.
"We willstart with 26 all-original half hours of Justice League,
and we alreadyknow it will be real popular with our fans, especially
the 9-14 yearolds who love to watch our Toonami block," Cohen told
the site. "As forwhen it will debut, I really don't want to say.
I know Timm is putting alot of time and effort into the production
of this series, and I toldhim I'd rather he do it right than not
do it at all. If it takes himuntil late into November to get the
series done, I'm not worried. Wearen't under the same pressure to
produce new series at certain timeslike the broadcast networks.
That means we can debut Justice League anytime it's truly ready."
Cohen added, "We know from our experience of airing Super Friends
foryears on Cartoon Network, here in the U.S. and around the world,
thatJustice League will have a vast, built-in audience hungry for
anexciting new look at these classic characters." |
