Wait...the new shorts have nothing to do with DCU heroes? That's disappointing.

Actually, they do. There was a pair of sisters calling themselves Thunder and Lightning who were the daughters of Black Lightning, a longstanding DC hero, with Thunder introduced in Judd Winick's Outsiders and Lightning introduced in the post-Infinite Crisis Justice Society of America comics. As for Amethyst, she's also a DC property, at least now, anyway, and DC is publishing her monthly comic as of the last couple of months or so.

Weren't these supposed to be done earlier but postponed? I think I sqaw them in some promo stuff.

Thanks for the info. I'm ignorant to DCU heroes. I thought they were original characters. I think it's a great idea to introduce and develop b list characters. The Thunder & Lightning clip was the best one. Looking forward to seeing it.

You're welcome, and it is a pretty good idea to introduce more characters that haven't gotten as much spotlight or development in past mass media adaptations as others. As great as Superman and Batman are, the whole of the DC Universe shouldn't be reduced to piggybacking on them.

Yes. Both shorts were supposed to be on when these GL and YJ episodes were originally supposed to be on.

Everything got delayed by Cartoon Network reasons only Cartoon Network actually knows.

I hope that they're on Youtube...

I seriously think that DC Comics/ WB Animation need to make the Amethyst Princess of Gemworld shorts long than than two measly. At least make it four minutes long.
