Look at 2012 Super Hero Cartoons

The summer has reached an end. Many children around the nation dread the return to school. In the fall, there are new shows on television. Saturday Morning Cartoons might not be what they used to but for those who have Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon they will have their fill. Geekapoolza is locked and loaded for the 2012 television season where we have the return of Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice.

Those two DC Cartoons are not all that will be on. The third Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series will start on Nickelodeon on September 29th 2012. The CGI animated series has caused many fans debate, but most will at least check them out. Then there is the always polarizing Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon on Sundays on Disney XD and the remaining Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes episodes. At least the ones that have not aired in the United States.


Young Justice ended on a nerve racking episode. The latest effort from Greg Weisman has his usual style of twists and turns. The remaining thirteen episodes of the Season Two of Young Justice, titled Invasion will be looked forward to. The show has its critics but it could turn out to be one of the more solid DC Animated cartoons ever.

Green Lantern the Animated Series has been overlooked by some individuals. The cartoon might not be the most solid but the fan base found itself rather entertained all of the same. The second season is set to air at the end of 2012 and is the final half of the original twenty six episodes. Unless something big breaks, Green Lantern seems unlikely to return for a second season.

One would to live underneath a rock not to at least hear about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The TMNT started as an independent comic in 1984. The original cartoon aired from 1987-1996 made them household names. The second television series was a more mature and serious take, with some humor aired from 2003-2009. The crossover movie between the two titled Turtles Forever had many critics but was beloved by legions of Turtle fans. In 2012, the latest effort will be presented on Nickelodeon. Fans already debated several decisions.

Ultimate Spider-Man is being currently aired on Disney XD. There was no new episode on August 12th but a new one will air on the Marvel Animation Block on December 19th. The show had ideas that had interesting. Meddling from higher ups and the show being pulled in too many different directions seemed to cause a handful of good episodes to be buried underneath the rubbish.

All four cartoons will be reviewed at this blog coming in the Fall 2012 season.
