In March 2012, the shorts premiered as part of the DC Nation block, produced by Warner Bros. Animation.

DC Nation Super Spectacular

In May 2012, DC Comics released a 64-page monthly magazine called DC Nation Super Spectacular. The featured strips are based on the Young Justice & Green Lantern: The Animated Series television series as well as additional content such as behind the scenes features.[29][30]

Latin America

The DC Nation Shorts have been transmitted by Cartoon Network (Latin America) since July 2013. The series are transmitted randomly in commercial breaks and it has broadcast shorts this way for years. This is because Cartoon Network Latin America has not incorporated the DC Nation block. The shorts broadcast were Tokyo/Baby Superman, DC Super Pets, Animal Man, Vibe, and The New Teen Titans.
