"Justice League Action" will arrive on Cartoon Network a lot sooner than you'd think. The new animated series debuts on Friday, December 16, 2016 at 6 pm ET/PT, just under a month from today's date. After its premiere, the show will air Saturdays starting December 24 in an unannounced timeslot.

Additionally, the pilot episode synopsis was released with the premiere announce:

In "Shazam Slam," the villainous Black Adam battles Batman on the Rock of Eternity and unleashes a horde of Djinn determined to turn the Earth back to its pre-human, volcanic state. Affected by the otherworldly powers of these primordial monsters, Batman becomes possessed and is turned into a giant flying Batmonster laying waste to the Hall of Justice, with only Superman capable of taking the fight to the Dark Knight. One by one, the Justice League - with the help of Shazam (voiced by Sean Astin) and The Wizard (voiced by Carl Reiner) - must hunt down and defeat each Djinn in order to yet again save the world from destruction.
