Cartoon Network's all-new animated series "Justice League Action" premieres this Friday, December 16th at 6:00PM (EST) with a four-part special, "Shazam Slam".
To promote the premiere of the new series, Warner Bros. Animation has released the following description and video clip:
"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."
"Justice League Action" will follow in the tradition of such past series as "Justice League Unlimited" and "Young Justice" but with a heavier focus on character-driven humor.
The series also features the return of such voice actor veterans as Kevin Conroy as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Mark Hamill as the Joker, James Woods as Lex Luthor and Diedrich Bader as Booster Gold.
