Superman Wonder Woman thing is far older than new 52.
Its weird though that this show feels kinda DCAU while multiple times the DCAU crew all said how much they hated the Superman Wonder Woman pairing.
Maybe they going Bruce and Zatanna which i'd gladly take.
It was way more prominent in new52 though.

Does anybody know when/where this will be available in Australia?
What do you mean far into development? The new 52 started in 2011. It doesn't take five years to develop an animated series
Cartoon Network (US) must really want this show to fail. Not only is it airing at a bad time, the first four episodes on their Saturday morning timeslot is just a rerun of the Shazam Slam, so by the time we finally get to episode 5, the first half of Season 1 would've already been aired in the UK.
I don't care about the time slot too much. Not sure if those matter as much these days for kids shows. But I find it absolutely stupid that the Shazam Slam is just being re-aired like this week by week.
Premieres tonight in Canada on Teletoon at 9pm

Well I just watched the first 4 episodes, and I love it!
I feel that it balances out the comedy and the action very well.
IMO, this is an action-comedy done right.
But such a shame that new episodes have been hit with was is essentially a graveyard slot. But not surprised. It's CN after all.

Man, so apparently CN did air some more episodes since the premiere, as I found when I was just checking through my Vue's DVR content. The episodes are all out of order, though, and I had no idea at all that they aired. Some of the descriptions also didn't really match up properly, and they didn't all start at their proper time slot, so the recordings would start with the show already in progress.
What the fuck. It feels like CN is trying its darndest to bury this already.

Yeah sadly CN has been very much doing this for years in regards to any program that isn't really theirs (aside from Johnny Test back then) or an action show, which sadly is why DC Nation ultimately was cancelled. And of course, Teen Titans Go.

So glad Young Justice S3 won't deal with this BS.
That is so stupid too treat a product from a sister company like that. Do they know how profitable DC is outside of Teen Titans Go?!

Yeah that does beg the question on what CN is thinking. DC still makes pretty engaging stories in the comics. Their animated films have been generally well-received. At best, the DCEU has been very much successful in terms of profit. Heck there is even Injustice, which had sold gangbusters for a new fighting game IP.
CN very much treats TTG as their SpongeBob, whereby it dominates loads of time slots, while heavily promoting times 1000 at the expense of other shows.
Of course, apparently the execs at CN are moral guardians that are against action shows and want to keep things safe rather than take risks. Though not certain if true.
And as someone mentioned early, at least hopefully CN won't do anything to Young Justice season 3.

I'd seriously be dead if CW and the animated movies weren't keeping me alive.
CN sabotages
Mystery Incorporated
Young Justice
Green Lantern
Beware the Batman
DC Nation block
And Justice League Action
Meanwhile Marvel in the same period.
Avengers EMH - 52 episodes
Marvel Anime - 4, 12 episode series
Ultimate Spiderman - 104 episodes
Hulk - 52 episodes
Marvel Disk Wars - 51 episodes
Avengers Assemble - 104 episodes~
Guardians - 52 episodes~
Big Hero 6 - ~

WB/DC really needs to find another place for their stuff.

Yeah, I've managed to watch the first Shazam arc (which I liked quite a bit) but trying to find out where and when to watch the subsequent episodes and in what order is a fucking mess. I'll have to wait for the dvd I guess.
Time for DC animation to completely move to Netflix.

Due to the toyline seems like Robin will be showing up.

Only still holding that title thanks to the DTVs.
all other efforts have gone to live action.
DC still is #1 when it comes to superhero cartoons. Not that there's much competition. As long as Loeb is running Marvel TV, the animation is going to blow hard. I heard Guardians of the Galaxy was ok, as in not horrible like Ultimate Spider-man, or Avengers Assemble, but it doesn't even come close to Marvel stuff like Spectacular or EMH, not to mention the greats in the DCAU.
Neither major comic has many "great" shows on animation right now (though JLA is pretty fun). That is probably going to change with YJ coming back though.
For the most part, outside of the Shazam Slam 4-parter, most of the episodes standalone so don't need an "order"
And even with little presence still prefer watching what DC has out over what Marvel currently airs... though fingers crossed for the new Spider-man series.

It's pretty awful, and I still don't understand why Time Warner animation continuously has their shows air on CN, when it's obvious they'll get dumped. I think there just blinded by CN's "love" for TTG.

I imagine the SM / WW romance was pushed in by the higher-up executives.

Its funny how they essentially screw both markets over with this show.
UK= air like 20 and then get stuck.
US=keep delaying its premier and then you are 20 episodes behind.
UK has to stop eventually, huge downtime kills it there.
US everyone that cares will have seen it uploaded at least to Youtube by the time they get to that episode.

Fucking hell it's like they don't want it to be successful

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
They also never rerun it, either. A 7:30AM premiere wouldn't be so bad if they played the hell out of it in reruns.
Who the hell is actually watching it at 7:30?

Doubt higher-up executives care about DC much less SM/WW.
Anyone who did not see this coming wasn't paying attention to how Cartoon Network operates. They don't care about action cartoons anymore. Sure, they'll have a token action cartoon once in awhile, but that's as far as they will go.
Adult swim so yes and no i guess
Adult Swim/Toonami and Cartoon Network are two different networks that share the same channel.
Wow you learn something new every day.
I always thought Adult Swim was just the name of a Cartoon Network program block.
