Hey guys.
I'm as bummed as anyone, but didn't Superman TAS just get 3 seasons, and original Justice League just two, and Justice League: Unlimited just two, and Legion of Super Heroes just two, and Brave and the Bold just three...
...not sure what the set of expectations were. Just sayin'.

It was amazing. I'm really starting to think you guys just watched the first season or something. Later on it has a darker tone like what YJ was doing.
But from what I remember those shows weren't treated as badly as YJ.

Superman aired every day as did BTAS, and JLA had an episode every week. the breaks (if any) were not long at all. and we got endings and wrap-ups to all the storylines.
Justice League had something like 50 episodes
Justice League Unlimited had 39
Neither were built on season long storylines like YJ. Which, to me, makes those shows feel like they went on alot longer.
Oh, and no where near the amount of breaks between episodes.

Don't worry, I'm in the Teen Titans love bandwagon. It's not a competition between the two shows anyway.
Even though we all know YJ has nothing on TT in character development and pacing.

I really did enjoy the show. I don't think getting so dark really suited it, however.
It was Legion of Super Heroes that seemed to really take naturally to it's new, darker tone, just in time to be cancelled and never released on DVD...
Good point about the hiatuses (hiati?). I just remembered the show I mentioned above, Legion of Super Heroes, which also got the Cartoon Network short stick.
And of course, NONE of these series are getting a proper Blu-Ray release. DC Nation fans should be glad that GL came out in a full season format on DVD (but where's the BluRay?) and of course Young Justice fans are enjoying their first-half-of-first-season kiddie three-pack, and the inexplicable Part Two follow-up.
At least that's better for you than being a fan of:
Second Season of Legion of Super Heroes
Second Season of the Zeta Project
Virtually all of Static Shock
All this shit should be on Blu-Ray now, along with Batman: TAS, Superman, JL, all of it. It's money on the table. If you're just going to give us SD, so many people I know are just going to pirate. The picture quality of Blu-Ray is one of the built-in defenses against piracy.
Fucking WB shm... rip WB Premiere...
For the love of God this. Don't get me wrong I love Teen Titans but to hell with some lazy comedic retread. YJ and GLTAS should be given a chance to complete satisfying stories before being swept away in favor of more marketable programming.
Woah woah woah. the Cadmus arc for two seasons of JLU is fantastic. It's not in every episode but it's reinforced throughout the seasons nonetheless.
has it been as up front as the ongoing saga against The Light!
It was a lot more subtle.
YJ is very "HEY GUYS, THERE'S AN EVIL VILLIAN SUPERGROUP BEHIND THIS SHIT" and every episode ends with THE LIGHT ACTUALLY WON THAT ROUND ANYWAY. JLU set up a constant arc about the fear of unilateral superheroic powers, a Department of Defence black ops unit designed around containing defeated supervillains (and using them, incidentally, as government strike-forces) but it never out and out revealed its hand until the final four episodes or so.

Wait, LoSH got dark?
The ending was kind of a cop-out in a JRPG sort of "BUT THIS IS THE REAL FINAL BOSS" way, but it was executed so well that nobody cared.
Very true.

I didn't even know there was a new he-man series. I wonder why it got canned.
Fucking awesome as fuck
Yes that was so brilliant and only possible with a consistent schedule and reassurance of episode count.
I was so worried coming off JL into JLU and losing the two episode format for fleshed out stories. When I realized what they were doing with JLU it was a holy shit moment.
While I liked Justice League, for featuring the main heroes of DC, I appreciate the story building of the smaller/unused heroes and villains in YJ. I like the group dynamics of YJ, as it's usually the same grouping (though changed when Season 2 started). I'm also more a fan of the long story, which YJ is doing (though The Light stuff in Season 1 was annoying).
But mostly, I just want any DC show on, specifically a "serious" version like YJ/JL/JLU. TT of old was too "light/fluffy" and I just don't like the look of that Green Lantern show (the meh looking CG).

right down to the multiple forms and everything. think about it.

I disagree. JL season 2 was pretty good and the first season of Unlimited/JL4 was pretty solid too.

PSA: you can get the whole thing on DVD at Target for $10. I got it on sale a few weeks ago for $7. It also includes stuff from the 40th episode that was never animated.
JLU season 1 was JL season 3, not season 4.
I thought JL Season 2 and all of JLU were solid. The only stinker was JL season 1.
Boss Doggie

Oh right, I thought JL has 3 lol
To be fair JL 1 was just finding their sweetspot. Also Supes looks really old.
Anyway, I really hope YJ doesn't get a surprise can. And with all these news I fear for GL.

The Batman was a good show too brahs. Come at me.

Sure. Season 2, the whole Superman X/Imperiex arc, which of course concluded with the return of Brainiac 1 in a rather dark set of episodes.
It was good work, Cartoon Network buried it, snuck the last season out while bitching that no one watched it. It's never been released in any form.
At least all of Season 2 of Young Justice seems to stand a good chance of being released...
Naw I'm with you man. Only a few things really bugged me (Mr. Freeze). Overall, good times.
Static Shock was the hidden gem of DC animation universe. I'm glad JL had a shout out episode for it.

Funny how that was just the result of what characters were available due to licensing. The end of Teen Titans meant the beginning of Robin in The Batman.
It's really kind of fucked up when you think about it, like how this whole Milestone/DC thing is probably the source of this whole delay... so whole characters and scenes can be cut out of the shows?
Uh oh time for another internet underground.

Lol don't let Rafa see you speculate it was the Milestone thing, he's gonna flip out.

I'm gonna postulate it also has something to do with Beware the Batman reaching into recent and more obscure DC villains.
But eh, what the fuck. I'm in.
They just need to get with the fucking times man. I purchase, at full price, upon release, the shit I love on Blu-Ray, by Season, with Extras, one and we're done. Put it out, and you'll sell it.
This piddly DVD three pack or even worse no-release bullshit from 10 years ago is embarassing. EMBARRASSING.
If the Marvel animated product weren't so uneven (never saw EMH) I'd cede the entire contest to them alone based on WILLINGNESS TO FUCKING RELEASE IN MODERN FORMATS.
Fire whomever it is who has had that job for 8+ years. Fire them. Do it.

if JLU got 2 then basically JL got 4 seasons, it was the revamp of JL's mediocre first outing, fixed up the show big time. It got good in JLU, the regular JL show only had a handful of good eps.

Okay well not the first ridiculous theory on the internet I've repeated.
The question remains, why?
Hell, I'd have theorized it's just to allow for some cross-marketing with the DVD release of Part One of Season Two if it weren't so sudden that my DVR keep happily recording that Dragon whatever...
I think it's better to count by number of episodes. JLU season two was a little bit "more of the same" and didn't reach the relevance "Season 1" did, but it only had like 11 or 12 eps to do it in. "Season 1" had 22. Meanwhile if you count by DVD realeases, The Batman had more seasons than Batman: TAS.
All part of the madness of the way Wanrer has released these series, which leads me to...
I really enjoyed it. The series needs a proper DVD release.

Yeah, I know what you mean
after him being the big bad all season it was anticlimactic. I did like how Superman X mourned his death because it robbed him of his purpose, though.
Things are getting desperate you guys. I already rewatched all my DC animated stuff, so I actually made it about 15 minutes into the first episode of Ultimate Spider-Man yesterday.
I don't think I'll watch any more of it, but you see how desperate the situation is getting...

Damn, what IS it with Weisman's shows getting slammed like this? Oy vey.
...On that note, I'm nearly finished my third watch of Spectacular. So good.

Thanks to you all, I bought the "fun" pack as it was the only one available to me. I caught some Invasion on Demand... Figures another of my favorite shows get the crap treatment yet the real crap stays on the air. I swear it's a conspiracy against me!
