We have known for over a week now because the online schedule already populated. Surprising as it is, it’s just the normal lineup. 
 

Admittedly, the current state of the schedule isn’t really worth putting on pause anyway. You won’t be missing anything of note. 

Do you have proof of this absurd claim? My Spectrum on-air doesn't quite make it that far yet!

Feel like this was something you could have googled, but whatever.

Goes out a full 3 weeks. July 11th is blanked out, but that’s likely only because of Lazarus swapping in for Kamui.

I guess I could have googled that.

I sincerely doubt that's what they're actually gonna do. Debuting a new Supes on July 4th is just asking for trouble.

I don't think intern-kun has got it right this far in advance.

That schedule is very rarely wrong. They blank out the schedule for the slightest of changes, so if there was going to be a marathon, that schedule would be blank. And then the 11th would NOT be blank because Kamui would still have an episode to air. 
 

They likely figured that viewership is low enough at this point that it doesn’t really make a difference. Also consider the HBO Max release schedule which doesn’t allow for delays, so even if they do end up doing a marathon, Superman would still premiere.

Eh, you're right. Their hands may be tied this time.

They seem to be using marathons more strategically. Either to do a series wrap up or as a delay tactic rather than just automatically for a holiday. It’s probably more important these days to do that. Sometimes it aligns with a holiday, but if it doesn’t, they aren’t going to do both

I mean anyone who's still bothering to watch the linear block in 2026 almost certainly has a DVR or the equivalent. If people can't watch live on the 4th they'll just catch up afterwards.
