It's hard to say what CN is doing with GL and YJ and DC Nation. After not seeing it last week and not finding it on CN this week, I wondered what was going on. I check the 'Net out and found issues with Milestone characters, cancellation possiblities, production costs, upset viewers and in the end no real answer. The only thing I want from CN is an apology. Apologize to all those faithful viewers who now wonder where their show went and what EXACTLY to expect from them in the future. DC has had issues with their shows on CN and it irritates me that the same thing is happening to DC Nation. My routine is DC Nation on Sunday then another superhero universe after that, you can figure that out. Now no DC. I read mainly DC comics, I collect mainly DC items, I've followed the characters for a long time. When CN did this and put on Johnny Test I thought it was about their 20th Anniversary or something similar. But then next week it was Riders of Berk, Jerk, Turk, ahhh whatever, didn't see the movie don't care about the show. I looked online more. Mostly the same but now a lot more PO viewers. As I see it:

1. If DC's rights to the Milestone characters were in question, why include them in the series in the first place? You don't write stories like these in a week or two, it takes time and planning let alone the production time for the drawn animation, the voice actors, artists, computer animation, etc. You don't just throw it together and hope for the best.

2. If cancellation was an issue why didn't DC or Warner animation put it on the CW or another network that gets more air time or has a better track record than Cartoon Network. CBS and Warner Entertainment own the CW and I think they could get DC Nation on there easily. CW plays JL and JLU reruns now and Arrow has just started recently why not put it on there as a morning cartoon block. DC Nation first and then JL and JLU reruns later maybe even Batman and Superman Animated reruns too. CN has been doing things lately like SyFy, put a great show on for awhile then if you don't get the results you like can it in the middle of a storyline and piss off all your viewers. I've got friends that watched SyFy for the longest time and when they canned shows they liked over and over they swore never to go back. Eureka or Farscape anyone? How about Sanctuary which SyFy didn't even say was cancelled they just did it quietly behind closed doors, hmmm see any similarity there?

3. Production costs for Riders of Berk would probably be close to the same as they are on GL. Berk and GL are both computer animated and possibly they would have similar costs. I'm of course assuming this since I don't know the actual cost so I could be wrong here but the point is why replace one computer animated series with another?

Ok I've ranted enough but my whole point is explain what you are doing to DC Nation. Apologize for only playing 2 episodes and then pull it again until next year with no explanation. Explain what's going on with DC and why. All you've accomplished is to piss off all the viewers and possibly alienate some of them from ever watching you again.
