First they get our Marvel movies before us and now they get our superhero cartoons as well.
Justice League Action will kick things off in a major way, with a four-episode special titled
Shazam Slam, which will see Shazam, Batman, The Wizard and Superman joining forces to take down Black Adam and escaped Djinn. The series (which breaksdown into 11-minute episodes similar to Teen Titans GO!) premieres on Friday, December 16 before airing in its regularly scheduled timeslot on Saturdays, beginning on Christmas Eve. However, the show will debut a month earlier in the UK on November 26.
Other confirmed heroes set to appear on the show include Wonder Woman, Firestorm, Martian Manhunter, Mr. Terrific, Big Barda and more. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill will reprise their longtime roles as The Dark Knight and the Joker, respectively.
Shazam Slam
' The villainous Black Adam battles Batman on the Rock of Eternity and unleashes a horde of Djinn determined to turn the Earth back to its pre-human, volcanic state. Affected by the otherworldly powers of these primordial monsters, Batman becomes possessed and is turned into a giant flying Batmonster laying waste to the Hall of Justice, with only Superman capable of taking the fight to the Dark Knight. One by one, the Justice League - with the help of Shazam (voiced by Sean Astin) and The Wizard (voiced by Carl Reiner) - must hunt down and defeat each Djinn in order to yet again save the world from destruction."
