Young Justice and Mad Magazine Are Cartoon-Network Bound

?Huh. Didn’t see this coming. From Cartoon Network’s upfronts, courtesy of DC’s Source:

MAD MAGAZINE is an animated sketch-comedy series produced by Warner
Bros. Animation that uses the iconic MAD Magazine, published by DC
Comics, as inspiration. Expect a chaotic mix of animation styles and
twisted humor to pull back the curtain and expose the truth behind
movies, TV shows, games, pop culture and, of course, curtains.

“You can expect to see some familiar faces on screen and big names
behind the scenes,” said Diane Nelson, President of DC Entertainment.
“The show will unleash MAD’s irreverent take on pop culture and today’s
headlines, and feature classic characters including Alfred E. Neuman and
Spy Vs. Spy. Our partners at Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network
are helping DC Entertainment revitalize the cherished MAD brand across
all media.”

The section of the press release for Young Justice will make you want to hit yourself, so let me just tell you the cartoon will star Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash,
Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis as shown above.Yes, Aqualad is suddenly black in what might be the most hilariously obvious token black character in the history of ever. You may now lose your shit in the comments, but let’s try to keep our insanity respectful, shall we?
