I wasn't aware of this poll when it was open but if I was, I would've voted for Young Justice. But as someone pointed out, that's probably because it's cancellation was so recent, I'm still mourning it. Well that, and that was the one show that I tried to follow the most and it was the only one that featured a wide range of DC characters. However, if these factors weren't so definitive in my decision-making, I'd have a really hard time deciding between YJ, Avengers: EMH, and Wolverine & the X-Men. Spectacular Spider-Man was really good, yet I don't feel it was quite as good as any of the aforementioned three. GL: TAS got quite good near the end, yet paled in comparison to the other four superhero toons on the list. I never really got into SW: TCW, but want to eventually, though I doubt it would hold a candle to the others. And I never watched Transformers Prime and no it does not appeal to me.
However, from what I understand, both Spectacular Spider-Man and Wolverine and the X-Men weren't canned by network executives, but were victims of Disney's acquisition of Marvel, as they had deals with the WB and Nickelodeon respectively, which Disney wanted to terminate in order to keep their newly acquired property on their own network.
Did anybody else notice that YJ's second season was only twenty episodes instead of a standard twenty-six? After noticing that and reading someone's post somewhere about how the season probably only got finished due to it already being in motion, I began to think- What if the writers had originally intended to do a full twenty-six episode season, where the team fought the forces of Apokalips in the final six episodes? Maybe the intended season really never did get completed. Well, it's something to think about. I am however, bummed by the lack of enthusiasm for a comicbook series continuing where the show left off.
