01/10/2006: "Dini on next season of Justice League Unlimited" (http://www.animated-news.com/archives/00004391.html)

The Comics2Film Fan Feed notices Paul Dini's mentioning to The Continuum of his writing a Justice Leage Unlimited episode set to air in the near future on Cartoon Network. In the new adventure, "Supergirl is kidnapped to the 31st century for what the history books say was her last adventure. The Fatal Five appear, as do more than 20 Legionaires." The episode, titled "Far From Home," is the only one Dini has worked on for the show's current season. A Cartoon Network representative has said that new episodes of Justice League Unlimited may air in late spring/summer.

This can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned! :):up:

I wish someone associated with the show (hint, hint) would explain to us why it keeps getting pushed back. By the time new eps air, it's going to have been, what, 8 months since it was on last?

I love this show but when the air episodes like this I don't expect how they expect to keep an audience.

Yay, glad to hear those guest stars are going to make an appearance. I've been a huge fan of theirs for years. I used to have a rather comprehensive collection of their appearances going back to 1957 or 58.

Wait a sec...did the last season actually "end" yet? Here's the listing from epguides.com (http://www.epguides.com/JusticeLeague/):

Season 5

79. 5- 1 17 Sep 05 I Am Legion
80. 5- 2 17 Sep 05 Shadow of the Hawk
81. 5- 3 24 Sep 05 Chaos at the Earth's Core
82. 5- 4 24 Sep 05 To Another Shore
83. 5- 5 Flash and Substance
84. 5- 6 Dead Reckoning
85. 5- 7 Patriot Act
86. 5- 8 The Great Brain Robbery
87. 5- 9 Far From Home.With the episode Dini describes in the spoiler being the last so far listed.

I was under the impression THIS season was to be a split season, restarting in the next few weeks and the season Dini's referring to is the 6th season starting late spring/early summer.

Keep hope...it will be good!

I heard they are delaying the continuation of the new season such that it coincides with the premier of Superman Returns. That's just hearsay though.

Yes the die hard comic fans with tivo will watch.

But we were going to watch anyway, it's the other random views a show needs to pick up to stay alive that will get lost with a schedule like this.

Is there any love for the Teen Titans not being renewed? Supposedly the Brotherhood of Evil story (the 3 eps that started Saturday) will be the end of the series.

That sux! I guess we should be glad they're going to finish the story and not cut off in the middle.

While Teen Titans was often a bit sillier/more childish than I liked, overall I enjoyed the show and will be sad to see it end, but I feel that way about most superhero shows. Need more of them on, damnit! :D

My initial reaction to TT was negative, but it grew on me. Besides, there's a major shortage of superhero shows. :(

"Flash and Substance" and "Dead Reckoning" have already aired in the UK. I guess that the Cartoon Network wants to encourage the usage of Bit Torrent.

I am unsure but I know there was a new episode on this past Saturday (One week after your post said it would end) with a JLU type feel of all these new Titans coming out of the woodworks. I forget the name - "Titans Together" and then another called 'Things Change" with the return of Terra (sort of).

So I assume it is still going on.

But, the first line on that website contains the phrase: last Teen Titans episode of Season 5 (and perhaps ever),

I can't agree more. This would seem obvious but I guess we are just the viewing ignorant public.

The Ain't-It-Cool-News article also says that the new shows are starting on Feb. 11th. It's not in the guide yet, so either it will be a last minute guide change or the article isn't completely accurate.

I thought the series should have ended right after the Justice League said that they would dismantle the space station and create one on earth (I don't remember the title of the episode, but it was the one where they apologized and said they would go their separate ways, and then changed their minds). That would have been a nice ender in my opinion.

FYI, the new episodes have already started airing in the UK. So they're available on torrent sites.

That sucks. It's going to be really tough going from quite a few superhero shows on TV to having just one--and who knows what will happen to "The Batman" after the CW appears.

It's unfortunate that DC is such a bunch of jerks regarding their properties.

I got the impression that part of the problem is DC's analness about their property. Although CN's crappy scheduling certainly earns them a "Burn in hell".

CN has done crap with all the mature animated series. Masters of the Universe was a great program but they slotted it bad, and advertised it worse. Mattel was also partly to blame (notice the parallel to DC), so it was just a bad recipe to start with. Why tease us with something good if you're just going to fail?

For what it's worth, I totally enjoyed the updated MOTU, but I thought it was 100% produced by a He-Man fanboy, and that he was done doing the show, but no one else could pick it up. I could be totally wrong, I thought I read that somewhere.

It's also a shame what's happening to JLU. Too bad both of these couldn't somehow survive (or at least throw the repeats on adult swim! :)

I thought I'd read that Warner recently (preparing for the Batman and Superman movie revivals?) bought up *all* the non-comics rights for all the DC (a Warner subsidiary) characters.

If I'm remembering this right, then it's entirely a Warner decision.

How a show like this could get cancelled just pains me.

Wow, this is a show my whole family enjoys.. My 3.5yo loves it because she can easily pick out the characters. My wife and I enjoy the pretty darn good stories that came of out last years season.

I am guessing the liscenseing makes this an expesive show to produce.

This has been the worst TV season for me. More shows that I enjoy have been canned than in any other season in my life.

Crap.

Guys, Yes this is the last season but they are thinking of making a dvd movie that has already been written.
Also, I am up to episode 10 already. Its airing in the Uk. There are places to get it all over the net. And for those of you who prefer not to do it that way. The new eps are airing in the US either next Saturday or the one after at 8:30pm on cartoon network.

Just sharing the happiness. Enjoy it while we have it. Too bad that will be it. 13 total eps.
