Firstly, it seems that Bruce Timm is in charge of the GL show, and appears to be hiring some of the staff from Avatar. Which is nice.

Timm says,
"98% of the show is set in space, so we do have lots of opportunities to deal with other Green Lanterns. Kilowog is in practically every episode, Salaak shows up, but there's not so many in the early episodes. You won't see DC heroes like Batman and Robin showing up, at least not anytime soon [...] We will see a little bit of Earth.
The show takes place on the edge of Guardian space and the show starts off with Green Lantern getting killed off on this edge. So Hal borrows a prototypical, faster-than-light ship and he and Kilowog go to investigate. They quickly discover that there are the previously unknown Red Lanterns systematically killing off the Green Lanterns.
In the first 13 episodes, Hal and his crew are stuck out on the edge of space. Hal's not a rookie, but he's not a veteran. We actually keep that pretty loose. We didn't want to go back and do the rookie story again because we did that in First Flight and that's what the movie's going to be about. That's really well-traveled ground.
We tried to make him on Captain Kirk's level of experience. It won't follow the continuity of the movie, but we draw from the same sources [...] We'll definitely be getting to Sinestro eventually; we aren't sure when we can do that."
The Red Lanterns'll be in this show. :) Atrocitus confirmed, with the possiblity of the Rage Kitty in the future.
Also, Blackest Night might be happening, despite Batman and co. not showing up in this show due largely to it being off-Earth in nature.

Secondly here's some news on Young Justice,
And here's some news by producers Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under the Red Hood) and Greg Weisman (the creator of Gargoyles) (Ohhh, that's what he's doing instead of another series of Spectacular) talk about their show,
"Greg Weisman: We're adapting Teen Titans, we're adapting Young Justice, we're adapting the whole DC Universe. We're set on Earth 16 in the DC multiverse and we're sort of making ours a young universe. Superman's only been around 10 years, the Justice League's only been around three or four years. Robin's been around four years. The others have been doing it for even less time. Speedy for three, Kid Flash for two, Miss Martian hasn't done it at all yet when our series starts. So we're keeping it young.
Brandon Vietti: It's a show about teenagers who happen to be superheroes [...] They're a cover ops unit, and that will have repercussions in their lives, with their mentors, their parents, all kinds of things [...] The villains we will see are Mr. Freeze, Icicle Junior, Killer Frost, Captain Cold, and Black Manta; that's the five that we're revealing, obviously there's a lot more.
GW: Last time I checked, we had over 150 DC heroes and villains in the show. We have a really small handful of original characters in the show. From the Justice League, the big three are Batman, who assigns them their missions; Red Tornado, who is their den mother; and Black Canary is in charge of their training. The other characters include their individual mentors (like Superman and Martian Manhunter), other heroes like Guardian and Speedy, and the Justice League, whose line-up includes Wonder Woman, Captain Atom, Captain Marvel, Zatara, Hawkwoman, and others. We have a 16-member Justice League. [...]"
"Robin: Voiced by Jesse McCarthy. In this series, he’s a 13 year old Dick Grayson, but he’s been Robin for 4 years time, so he’s been Robin since he was 9 years old. He’s the most experienced of the team. Robin also keeps his identity secret, even from his teammates, and wears sunglasses when he’s hanging around with them in downtime. Robin has revealed his secret identity to best friend Wally West (Kid Flash), and if Batman knew, he wouldn’t be happy about that.
Kid Flash: Voiced by Jason Spizak. He’s Wally West and he’s 15 years old. Not quite as fast as the Flash, so he has to accelerate and decelerate to use his powers. He’ll also use his powers a little differently than traditional speedsters, using momentum to launch himself as a human cannonball of sorts. His goggles also have some high-tech tricks, like seeing different light spectrums.
Aqualad: Voiced by Khary Payton (who also provided the voice for Cyborg). His name is Calderon (which differs from the BRIGHTEST DAY version, whose name is Jackson). His father is Black Manta, which is something he isn’t even aware of. Calerdon’s powers are a mix of Atlantean sorcery and science, which are channeled through the mystic eel tattoos on his arms. In the series, Calderon is best friends with Garth (no word on whether Garth would be Aqualad or Tempest, if either), and there would be stories revolving around both of them.
One fan asked why the comic book version in BRIGHTEST DAY differed from the YOUNG JUSTICE animated version, and the producers said that Geoff Johns came by and fell in love with the character, so he ended up using him. But the producers clarified the Aqualad in BRIGHTEST DAY is “Earth-0″ while their universe is “Earth-16″ anyway.
Superboy: Voiced by Nolan North (who also provides the voice of Superman). He’s a 16-week old clone who appears to be 16, and he’ll eventually assume the Conner Kent secret identity. Weisman noted that this is “a new interpretation of Superboy,” but he thinks Superboy will be the breakout star of the show.
Miss Martian: Voiced by Danica McKellar. Martian Manhunter’s 16-year old niece. The producers mentioned she’s actually 48 years old, but it works out to be 15-16 by earth standards. She’s very new to the hero game, and especially new to combat. A naive girl, Miss Martian has a somewhat warped view of the world because she’s gleaned most of her knowledge by watching earth tv shows to study its culture.
Artemis: Voiced by Stephanie Lemelin. This 16-year old heroine is neither Arrowette, nor Wonder Girl nor Speedy, not an Amazon and she’s not from Apokolips. But she is an existing character in the DCU! The panel refused to reveal who, however. Weisman thought her identity should be “fairly obvious,” though.
Speedy: Not part of the team, but Speedy (the Roy Harper version) was seen in the trailer. One fan asked why Speedy wasn’t in Young Justice, since he appeared in the teaser clip, but doesn’t join the team. Producer Vietti said it will be apparent after the first episode. Keep in mind, another video preview of the show revealed a “Red Arrow” design in the background"
Hee, Conner's gonna have Deadpool's voice! Hmm, I wonder who Artemis is if she's none of those people.
...Steph?

For legality, here's a bit from Old School Teen Titans,

I don't think that frugging is a kind of dance Aqualad...
