One hour premier of "Young Justice" on Cartoon Network

Cartoon Network is staging a one-hour Young Justice special event this month, The Continuum has learned.

The new animated series based on DC Comics characters will debut with the two-part "Independence Day" episode on Friday, Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. (ET/PT).

Here's how the show is described:

"In Young Justice, being a teenager means proving yourself over and over -- to peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself. But what if you're not just a normal teenager? What if you're a teenage super hero? Are you ready to join the ranks of the great heroes and prove you're worthy of the Justice League? That's exactly what the members of Young Justice -- Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis -- will found out, whether they have what it takes to be a proven hero."

Cartoon Network has yet to schedule Young Justice in a weekly time period -- and that might not happen until early 2011.

The Young Justice event will be followed by a repeat of the Firebreather movie, which premieres on Wednesday, Nov. 24. Batman: The Brave and the Bold will not air on Nov. 26.

100 Copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops stolen from Gamestop


It seems as though some people out there just can't wait for Call of Duty: Black Ops to hit the normal retail channels because over the weekend two gun-wielding criminals held-up a Baltimore area GameStop for more than 100 copies of the highly-anticipated first-person shooter. Black Ops is being developed by Treyarch Studios and published by Activision Blizzard and is scheduled to release on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC tomorrow. The robbery happened just before closing time in the Festival at Bel Air shopping center, as the thief's entered the GameStop and pulled semi-automatic weapons, demanding every copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops that was in stock. It was the second armed robbery of a Harford County GameStop store in less than three weeks; the sheriff's office said the men might also be responsible for the other incident, at the GameStop's Aberdeen location on October 21st.

A few unlucky customers happened to walk in during the hold-up and were placed in the stock room, thankfully no employees or customers were harmed. It's unclear for what reason the crime was perpetrated but we would assume that the thieves are looking to unload a couple thousand dollars worth of the game, before it's official release date. As of this writing no new information on the crime has been discovered and no copies of Black Ops have shown up on the black market, representatives for GameStop declined our request for interview. No word on whether or not customers who had pre-ordered COD: Black Ops at the unlucky store would get their game on launch day, our guess is they will. Stay tuned for our official review of Call of Duty: Black Ops tomorrow and make your own decision as to whether the game is good enough to warrant this type of criminal behavior.
