In a turn of events that’s sent a large portion of the internet into full rage mode, Cartoon Network has cancelled the incredibly popular Young Justice and Green Lantern cartoons. In a press release sent out today, they announced their new and returning shows for the 2013-2014 season. Among the shows not listed were the aforementioned shows, along with Star Wars: The Clone Wars which is transferring to Disney XD after Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm.

Last year, fans got the bad news that Thundercats was cancelled when Cartoon Network released a similar press release with that show missing from it’s 2012-2013 season, so this does seem pretty official. Also damning is Green Lantern showrunner Giancarlo Volpe announcing on Twitter that Green Lantern was indeed cancelled and the show would finish out the current season.

Almost immediately after the announcements, a petition was put online to help save the show. Now, online petitions in general don’t seem to really get anywhere, but who knows what might come of it? Young Justice is insanely popular and is considered one of the best cartoons on television right now.

Haha, that’s right I have four new customs posted in the archive. I recently did a few quick Batman related customs and wanted to share them with you. They’re all repaints, but I feel they’re pretty nifty. Click the pictures to take you to their pages.

DC Universe 6" Penguin in Black and white tuxedo Mattel Mint Condition Custom Action Figure John HarmonDC Universe 6" Robin Young Justice Teen Titans Mattel Mint Condition Custom Action Figure John HarmonDC Universe 6" Batman Mattel Mint Condition Custom Action Figure John HarmonDC Universe 6" Nightwing New 52 Mattel Mint Condition Custom Action Figure John Harmon

The first one is this custom DC Universe Penguin action figure, repainted in a completely black and white tuxedo. The next one is a Young Justice Robin action figure, repainted in Teen Titans cartoon colors as a mashup of the two designs. The third is a modern comics style DC Universe Batman. This exact version of Batman has never been done by Mattel and I never understood why. This is, in my opinion, THE version of Batman. And lastly, I leave you with a Nightwing in New 52 colors. He was a lot of fun to do, although it was also very frustrating ha ha. Click the link to his page to see what I mean.

Thanks for looking, and I hope you dig the new customs.
