| abstract | - Johnny DC is a discontinued imprint for DC Comics' titles for younger readers, mostly to coincide with cartoon shows that aired on Kids' WB and/or Cartoon Network, including Scooby-Doo, Teen Titans, and Justice League. It ran from November 2004 to February 2012, when it replaced by DC Entertainment.
- The character originally appeared in various Silver Age of comic books|Silver Age]] DC Comics]] advertisements, and was used to promote DC's entire line of comics. He had a cartoonish face, wore a mortarboard]], had stick figure]] lines for his arms and legs, and a body that consisted of the DC Comics logo. In the late 1980s, Johnny DC hosted a DC promo page called "DCI with Johnny DC" which appeared in many comics of the era. Like Marvel's "Bullpen Bulletins]]"—and DC's previous incarnation, the late 1970s/early 1980s Daily Planet (DC Comics house advertisement)|Daily Planet]] feature—"DCI with Johnny DC" featured miscellaneous DC news items, often spotlighting certain books or creators, and also included a partial checklist of current DC titles. In the mid-1990s, Johnny DC appeared in the satirical special Sergio Aragonés Destroys DC]]. He's shown as having become disillusioned with the modern direction of DC's superhero comics, criticizing the various members of the Justice League]] and accusing them of having changed for the worse. In 2004, Johnny DC was revived and redesigned, as a mostly-silhouette]] cartoonish child. His name is now used as the name of DC Comics' imprint]] of comics marketed primarily to children, approximately ages 8–13. The line consists primarily of books based on Warner Bros.]] and Cartoon Network]] animated TV series. These have included series that began as animated features (e.g. Scooby-Doo]], Looney Tunes]], and The Powerpuff Girls]]) and those based on DC Comics superheroes (The Batman Strikes!]], Teen Titans Go!]], Legion of Super Heroes in the 31st Century]], and Justice League Unlimited]]).
