there's just no Justice in the world
DC have failed pretty badly at making their characters popular. Superman and Wonder Woman are as well-known as Batman, yet DC have failed to establish them in modern media. And they should literally copy Marvel with how to push their B-tier heroes, like Flash and Green Lantern, into the mainstream.
They utterly failed with GL, though. I don't think the current leadership at WB knows how to to push DC characters other than Batman and Superman.
Sucks
Korra isn't close to being as good as any of those shows either.
With you here. Still entertaining though.
Which is a shame, cause they were doing so well with GL. They just couldn't get the movie right, which was the most important part.

I came into the thread thinking it was so active because of a really great episode......
Even their last Superman film failed. They need Man of Steel and Justice League to succeed. If they fail, it'd mean another 5+ years of nothing but Batman.
Meh don't think they need to copy Marvel, but they have had so many chances to expand their core characters
Could have spun out a Wonder Woman or Flash animated series after Justice League Unlimited
Well we did get a Green Arrow show eventually.. wasn't from Smallville... though I think more of a blessing now
Let's not talk about their last attempt at Wonder Woman
The DC Shorts (both in front of the movies and in the DC Nation) have been great..but they canned the movie ones.. and the only show they created from the exposure.. was a reboot of a show they aired like a decade ago...
ah totally expected though. They truly ruined the show, I can't even muster up enough interest to finish episodes these days. Whereas earlier in the season I was ridiculously hyped. But honestly when you think about it, YJ should have been it a perfect fit. Poor scheduling combined with the serialized nature of the show made it hard to watch. Maybe a 2-3 episode arcs (like JLU) are better suited for animated shows?
Sad about GL too...they only got a season and it was a damned good show. I

Highly doubtful of that because Batman is one of the only DC properties that's doing great. Expect around a 65 episode run, like with past Batman cartoons.

Why does this show get cancelled and crap like Ultimate Spider-Man gets to continue ='(
I know Disney and Cartoon Network difference =/

This is unfortunate. This show was pretty much superior to everything DC has put out other than the Timm-verse. It had potential to reach that level too if it got the same kind of support with spin-offs and such.
Why do people always ask these types of question whenever a show is canceled? The answers easy, Spiderman is one of Marvel's biggest properties., way bigger then YJ.

Returns or the animated one? Because the animated one sucked.
Superman vs. The Elites? I thought it was one of the better animated Superman movies.
If it's All Star Superman, then I agree.

Blame Sony for that, they gave up animated series rights to be able to make another movie, also know as the Meh Spider-Man.

Man my son is going to be pissed... I'll be the one crying though.
That would be a valid reason if viewership was down.

Isn't it just the episodes they haven't aired yet?

This. Fucking....this.
oh..... uh, maybe.
i dunno. at least you get a few new ones before its gone if thats true.
Scooby-Doo is dead. Most of the staff already move on to Beware the Batman and Omniverse. The Press Release likely refers to the remaining Season 2 episodes that these clusterfucks from CN should had aired in 2012 to begin with.

ive never seen a bad batman cartoon. just hoping the CG work isnt as trash as transformers and green lantern.
Sucks

ha. oh boy.
On Topic:
YJ was in such a dead zone that nobody should be surprised by this news. i still watch but hell if i even understand whats going on anymore after all this time travel business and those 3-month-long breaks between episodes.
oh.
CN is so bad with shows. CN, FOX and MTV are like the holy trinity of networks that cancel/ruin a massive amount of shows.
Not really surprised. We knew the new Batman and Teen Titan shows were coming, and there was no way they were making the DC Nation block 2 hours after the October/November DC Nation hiatus. Although I thought the new Batman show had another year before it was starting and the Green Lantern show would hold it's spot until it premiered with another season, but oh well. Hopefully the animators of Young Justice were prepared for the season not to continue and didn't leave too many cliffhangers.

One of the best damn animated shows of the DC brand since Justice League gets the can.

I want to punch the people involved in taking YJ off the air. A big F U to them! Really mad about this. Lost another show to watch during the week.
I also recommend the new TMNT show to anyone looking for a good cartoon. Great stuff. And since the toys seem to be selling well, it might not get canned in it's prime like so many other shows recently.
Tell me about it. First Spectacular Spider-Man, now this. Then there was Gargoyles ages ago. His shows are so good, but it aways seems to end the same. :/
Lmao. Saw some commericals fo Season 2 an decided to finally give it another try. Maybe things had improved with the start of a new season. Lol, nope. Well, at least it being on Season 2 now means that its cancellation is on the horizon. Would probably take a miracle for a Marvel cartoon to make it to Season 3 these days.
I do have some mild interest in seeing how the new Hulk and Avengers cartoons turn out though.

Superman Returns. It wasn't a terrible and it did decently at the box office, but it mustn't have been successful enough. I imagine if it were there would have been at least a trilogy of Superman films and probably a new Superman animated series at some point.

Tron was always supposed to just be a mini-series. Hell, it was only gonna be 11 episodes before the ordered more.
And Korra isn't as good as any of those, watch TMNT and TP instead.
OH, and your ava changed.

I just want to give time time to thank Greg for pushing characters like Blue Beetle, Lagoon Boy, Aqualad and other underused brahs. Mattel, go fuck yourselves and your shitty toys. CN, your terrible and myopic shows will be the death of you. Disney is going to evicerate you once Loebs tenure is over. So many great characters to be used, so many great stories ready to be told, so many great moments and memories to be had. Such shitty people running a beautiful industry.
Since you mentioned Loeb I just wanted to verbalize how frustrated I am at the guy. He is a hair away from 'getting it' sometimes but still misses the mark completely. Ultimate Spiderman COULD have been something special, the Avengers COULD have been great. Instead we get unmemorable schlock. I remember the fallout Ultimate Spiderman had. I really feel bad for the people involved since they clearly put a ton of time into something that completely missed the point.

I'm worrying about this too. They have 6 episodes to get things done, but honestly I think the writers and staff suspected that the show wont get a 3rd season but we'll see.
