November 22, 2016: USA Premiere of "Justice League Action" Announced

According to Newsarama.com, Cartoon Network will premiere the "Justice League Action" animated series in the USA on December 16, 2016.

"Justice League Action" will debut in the U.S. with a 4-part special event titled "Shazam Slam" on Friday, December 16, with new episodes then airing on Saturday mornings starting December 24.

"In '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."

Cartoon Network released the following clip from an episode of "Justice League Action" involving Superman taking on Parasite.
