It still boggles my mind how marvel could be building so much talent and squander it in a matter of months.

I will never forgive CN for canceling young justice

Looks like they rammed Teen Titans GO's artstyle down the DCAU's throat and told them to deal with it.

I don't know if anyone mentioned already but Paul Dini is involved with this

Susan retweeting everyone saying she should get the part is making me believe she doesn't have the part, and that makes me think she won't. 
Yea, kind of sad that Clancy isn't returning, but I'll give the show a shot.
And the reason for doing so (if true) is disgusting.

Paul Dini claims that network execs felt YJ targeted an older and different audience than they wanted, which was explicitly young boys (NOT girls, because they don't buy as many toys.)
This. They basically didn't want girls buying toys associated with the show. Because, how dare they.

Mark Hamill did exactly the same thing with retweeting fans who were crying out for him to play the Joker role in The Killing Joke just after it got announced, even though it was later revealed he had already long finished recording for the role.
There is still hope!
Seems like Brent Spiner is gonna voice The Riddler

I love me some Brent, but John Glover is still alive, ppl. Again, I can deal, just a bit too nerdily disapointed.

I'm sure Spiner will do fine, but my preferred Riddler is actually Wally Wingert.

Better than him voicing joker again *shiver*
I've learned not to judge these shows by first glance. While people still hate Teen Titans Go! it is a really funny show with an odd amount of adult humor for a kids show. It's basically concentrated versions of the funny episodes of Teen Titans. I miss YJ and that could have been a great show on its own too, I just don't get the rhyme or reason for these shows getting cancelled. Marvels Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy have that action and art style people want but the shows are just awful. Give me Mighty Avengers back please. Ultimate Spider-man is just trying way too hard to cram everything and the kitchen sink in it to pander to various MCU, comic and tv show storylines and is just a hot mess. So i'll give this show a chance, the voice cast is absolutely amazing, but I reserve judgement. It won't be a JLU/JL and people need to do themselves a favor and put that comparison away. Those shows covered so much ground I really wouldn't want them to try and copy it at this point because of the retreading. I'd rather them just start where they left off if that was the case.

Yeah, this was found to be fake (or at least misinterpreted).Greg Weisman said it on his twitter that money was the reason for it's cancellation, not a female audience.

I actually don't mind and does give an alternative Timmy style
Just a bunch of cool concepts fron comics sent down the drain.
Adventure Time and Regular Show do fine with creating "actiony" 11-minute episodes. AT and Steven Universe do good creating running arcs with the 11-minute format too, but i'm pretty sure they said they didn't want to do arcs with this, it's just going to be superhero action, so the best comparisons are the AT one-off episodes or Regular Show which is mostly self-contained, and yet have time for characterization and such.
