If you haven’t been tuning in to watch DC Nation every Saturday on Cartoon Network then I am going to tell you right now that you are missing out on the best Saturday morning cartoon block to be featured on CN in years. (What is DC Nation you ask? Well, DC Nation is an exciting one-hour block of original programming and exclusive content on Cartoon Network that’s based on the DC Comics library of legendary characters, and it airs Saturday mornings at 10a/9c!) Not only do you get the stellar Young Justice and the new Green Lantern: The Animated Series, you also get to see the very creative and entertaining original shorts that are being created by different artists and writers each week.
I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I was when I realized DC Nation shorts would start to feature lesser-known DC properties. My favorite addition to the mix has been the Animal Man shorts (he’s my favorite!). The ones that have aired so far have been incredible, and I honestly just wish they were longer! If you haven’t seen the ones that have aired so far here they are for your viewing pleasure – the first segment features Captain Cold – another lesser known DC villain that I’m pleasantly surprised they’re giving some attention to:
And here’s a quick preview of the Animal Man short that’s coming to us this weekend (unfortunately only featured on Facebook at this time. Sorry about that!):

Lastly, I wanted to share with you one of the newest Teen Titans shorts to air during DC Nation. I’m so happy they continued to feature these characters AND keep their original voice actors. It really makes me miss the show!
