Ever since that massively eyebrowed miser Simon Stagg showed up on the first episode of Cartoon Network's Beware the Batman, I've been waiting for the show to follow up and introduce Stagg's ever-present nemesis/potential son-in-law, Metamorpho, The Element Man! Now, it seems the wait is over: In this week's episode, Batman goes toe-to-toe with the one and only Rex Mason! Check out a clip (and lea

This Saturday's DC Nation block on Cartoon Network sees the first in a series of Metal Men animated shorts devised by cartoonists and animation veterans Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer.

To younger kids? Well, he may just wind up being known as the musician who made Puffy AmiYumi's 2002-2006 Teen Titans theme song a little easier to dance to for Cartoon Network's new Teen Ti

Like the shorts, the half hour show promises to skew a little more towards comedy than the previous Teen Titans cartoon, which occasionally got pretty dark once Deathstroke (AKA Slade) showed up and tried

Amethyst's DC Comics outlet in Sword of Sorcery may have been canceled, but fans of the sword-swinging, winged horse-riding princess still have one more animated adventure to catch as part of the Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld series of DC Nation shorts on Cartoon Network...

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how great it was that the "DC Nation" shorts on Cartoon Network put a spotlight onto some of DC's lesser-known properties (like Amethyst), but occasionally, they swerve into entirely new takes on the stuff that's already popular...
