DC Nation Shorts


DC Nation Shorts is an animated series of shorts featuring characters from DC Comics from a variety of different titles that aired on Cartoon Network on Saturdays at 10/9c.

Production

In March 2012, the shorts premiered as part of the DC Nation block, produced by Warner Bros. Animation. They aired alongside Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice, as well as with Beware the Batman and Teen Titans Go! in 2013. Warner Bros. revived the Teen Titans animated series as Teen Titans Go!, based on the New Teen Titans shorts. Despite having one Cartoon Network / Warner Bros. Animation short, Swaroop, DC Nation Shorts was the first and only Cartoon Network original series co-produced by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation.
In 2011, Cartoon Network executive Sam Register promised new content every week on the block in addition to the shorts: "...whether that's a new show or an interstitial or a short".

Latin America

The DC Nation Shorts have been transmitted by Cartoon Network since July 2013. The series are transmitted randomly in commercial breaks and it has broadcast shorts this way for years. This is because Cartoon Network Latin America has not incorporated the DC Nation block. The shorts broadcast were Tokyo/Baby Superman, Amethyst Princess of Gemworld, DC Super Pets, Animal Man, Vibe, and The New Teen Titans.
