In March 2012, the shorts premiered as part of the DC Nation block, produced by Warner Bros. Animation. They aired alongside Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice, as well as with Beware the Batman and Teen Titans Go! in 2013.[1] Cartoon Network revived the Teen Titans animated series as Teen Titans Go!, based on the New Teen Titans shorts. Despite having one Cartoon Network / Warner Bros. Animation short, Swaroop (aired during The Big Pick contest), DC Nation Shorts was the first and only Cartoon Network original series co-produced by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation.
In 2011, Sam Register promised new content every week on the block in addition to the shorts: "...whether that's a new show or an interstitial or a short".[2]

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]
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.
