Justice League Action is the name an animated television series made by Warner Bros. Animation, based on the superhero characters of DC Comics. It was broadcast on the Cartoon Network in the USA in a single season of episodes between December 16, 2016 and June 3, 2018, and was supplemented by a series of short online "webisodes" posted on the DC Kids YouTube channel during 2017.

Description[]
The show concerns the adventures of the superheroes of the Justice League team made popular by DC Comics with the emphasis being on action and humor. The main characters are Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, and almost every episode includes at least one of them. The stories normally involve members in a team-up to tackle a menace that they cannot deal with individually, like a threat to the whole world, an alien threat, or a supernatural one, and involving one or more of the show's many villains. Some stories, however, involve a superhero dealing with a more local villain but assisted by other superheroes that just happen to be members of the Justice League.
