Why did they stop making Justice League Unlimited?

This cartoon was awesome. They should of continued on with Season 3.

Probably because after the invasion of Apokolips, the show had run its course story-wise. With Superman's "World of Cardboard," speech, it basically meant that there wasn't really anything that could stand up to the league any more. It didn't help that, technically, both Lex and Darkseid were dead at that point. The entire show, I think, was wrapped up, and there were too little loose ends to build on if they desired to continue.

it could also be said that maybe Bruce Timm wanted to go on with other projects.

Because it ended.

Definitive conclusion. Quite satisfying, I might add.

The creators wanted it to end remember Justice League existed just prior to Unlimited. It was all done in the same art style of BTAS and Superman, after awhile artists get bored. Ever wonder why the DCAM have different art styles?

I wish they hadn't stopped :(

the show was fantastic! i wish it still was around also....... still watch the episides periodically and they never seem to get old....

JLU, static shock, and for a while YJ and GL looked like it was going to end just bc.

nothing lasts forever.

Other hit cartoons like Static Shock and Gargoyles had to end despite really high ratings

They realized that with each episode, they were drastically adding to the awesome quotient of television. If said quotient exceeded it's designated ratio, all televisions everywhere would explode in an awesome backlash, killing thousands with shrapnel, satellites would drop from the sky, and television manufacturing plants would cease to function.

But they knew this would happen at the end of the Justice League series. They continued to Unlimited. Why? Their resident futurist realized society was moving towards the internet for it's entertainment purposes. While it's awesome quotient is still high, and growing higher, Justice League Unlimited's awesome was exceeding that rate of growth significantly. Knowing this, they realized if they continued it further, the internet would also suffer an awesome backlash, shutting down and exploding all machines connected to the internet, throwing society into the dark ages.

In order to save us from this fate, they nobly sacrificed Justice League Unlimited. It's a tragedy, but it was for the greater good. Take what solace in that you can.

Because everything good in this world must be abruptly cut short.

Bring back the dam show back WB

Because you touch yourself at night.

Now aren't you ashamed of yourself?

Same thing.

They always take the good shows off the air after a time being.

Sucks.

From what I understand, it was largely a financial decision. After a certain amount of episodes, the monetary returns on making new episodes of an existing series become more marginal, especially when a large percentage of the viewership, i.e. children, drop the show to move onto the next big thing.

But @Joygirl 's response made me laugh so hard that I think you should go with that answer.

season 2 finale sucked.

It was suppose to end at season 1, that why that finale was titled Epilogue because they felt the DCAU had come full circle.

I loved that show, can't comment here because I watched it in Irish, and I can't speak a word of that. lol.

yes. when people continue shows for the sake of continuing them, they start to suck.

I mean this wasn't The spectacular Spider-man, Or Wolverine and the X-men etc, it ended because the story had wrapped up.

This was the best show Cartoon Network has ever aired.

Animation is expensive.....

I guess it became... limited.

The story ended.

Although tbqfh I would've incorporated much more or revived it.

I mean now they could add more Leaguers, have villains like the Anti Monitor, Sinestro Corps War, Blackest Night etc

Were getting YJ back, but I think a DCAU revival after a decade or so would be epic.

i still wish for more about hawkgirl and GL also Wonder Woman and Batman's story would continue somehow maybe in the future they'll bring it back

This. Why do people want everything to be stretched out to an eternity nowadays? Every story has an ending, and they should stop at that point.

i really wish the show will come back
u have the action and u have the personlly stuff and darma and everything!!!
and they can do srsly everything cus they can do a ep on almost every dc character
every group
and hawgirl and green lantern didnt end up toghter !!!
and the new justice league show is not good as this one :(

I wish they would reunite the art and story teams for jlu and make a few movies that take place un the same universe maybe after the events of the final episodes of jlu. Still a ton of story potential
