Adventure Time and Steven Universe are very female-friendly, despite male protagonists.

Let's not act like CN is getting more conservative with what they'll greenlight or anything, either. Their process has remained more or less the same since the first wave of Cartoon Cartoons: have a series of shorts essentially run tryouts (sometimes this process is very public. Codename Kids Next Door and Megas XLR, i remember when their pilots were put on along with a bunch of others that never made it, including, ironically, Kenny and the Chimp, or the entire lineup of the What A Cartoon show), pick what you like and make it into a show.

The more opaque process comes from stuff that doesn't originate from Cartoon Network Studios itself, like the DC Animation stuff which is really a separate department even though it's all owned by the same company.

[up]It looks like she took Frank Miller's take on Batman and made him a bit cartoony.

That's not the physique of a billionaire playboy.

It's the physique of a billionaire gym junkie.

Wonder Woman looks pretty cool. Would've been nice to see an ep with her partnership with Wonder Girl.

That doesn't read as buff to me. It looks like Batman ATE the first two Robins.

[up][up] Knowing who's attached to it - it would have been better received from the very start, compared differently to what TTG! ever has been received in its whole existence.

Pretty much, yes.

Its a shame that this and none of the other shorts were turned into TV shows. SBFF,Gem world and the black lighting short had serious potential.

[up] I know:

- Princess Amynthest would of been a cool stand alone show of its own.

- Plastic Man show has been in development hell far to long and would of made a great follow up to Batman: The Brave and The Bold.

- Animal Man really capture the tone of the Grant Morrison comics, could of been great if they took it further.

- Sword of the Atom is also a neat adaption.

- And the above SBFF, well, that's a given seeing how the creator is an alumni of two classic Cartoon Network show and developed the one show of the Hub that manage to still be airing episode inspite of the channel change & have an insanely large fanbase (made of dudes, for that matter).

Yeah, SBFF would of succeeded awesomely if greenlitted.

I'm not talking about ratings, talking about would CN screw it over ASAP like they did with Young Justice.

[up]Depends on whether or not you believe that them screwing over Young justice was because of the cost or because the show had a high female following.

[up] Supposedly.But there were complains about the toys being of low quantity and overpriced. Again its depends on who you side with.

I don't remember those toys.

Pretty lame, though. I thought they'd be some sort of figure. Not some Tech Deck boards with YJ promo pics on them.

There were actual figures.But I couldn't find vids of their commercials.Just vid reviews of them.

There was some small heat over the fact that they didn't feature the female members of the team.

It also depends at what point the show still qualifies as "action cartoon." SBFF and TTG were definitely comedy, even though both have action elements at times. Would Plastic Man have counted as a comedy, and had more comedy-style production values making it less likely to be constantly on the brink of cancellation?

The overall (there are always exceptions to anything) rule of thumb for Cartoon Network is, if they don't think it'll appeal to and form future stereotypical frat boys, then they'll screw it over.
