It was recently revealed that both Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series had been cancelled by Cartoon Network.
The animated TV shows were apparently axed, at least in part, because of underwhelming sales for toys associated with the series.
According to Bruce Timm, the co-developer of the Green Lantern series, the Ryan Reynolds feature film hurt his show.

And I’m not even a Kid Flash fan to begin with so I don’t care about him! Draaaaama selling. They wanted one more… Read more »
YJ was meant to sell toys? I guess that explains the huge roster of useless characters they introduced in season 2. Even still, this was an enjoyable show, and I would have liked to see what they did with the Fourth World characters going forward.
