Josh Keaton, the voice of the main protagonist: Hal Jordan on the "Green Lantern" animated show spoke to IGN recently and had this to say.............. 

 
Keaton said, “From what I’ve heard the performance of the [Green Lantern] movie made it so there was a lot of movie toys still in stores. And so the stores didn’t necessarily differentiate between one being movie toys and others being animated series toys. They just said, ‘Green Lantern? We already have those.’ And so because of that, a toyline wasn’t even made. And because a toyline wasn’t made, we really didn’t have the funding to go on in that sense, because a lot of funding is tied to that. So it’s unfortunate. It wasn’t because the fans didn’t like it. It wasn’t because of the ratings. It really, at that point, came down to the merchandise, and we had a lot to overcome from the performance of the film and that’s where it was.”

So you see....just bad marketing... Don't blame the new shows Don't blame Cartoon Network Blame Ryan Reynolds :D

it had two seasons. but yeah, all the people blaming Beware The Batman and Teen Titans Go were kind getting annoying.

just read this over IGN as well

1. it is f##king ridiculous that a show is cancelled because of toy sales and not because of ratings

2. it is even more f##king ridiculous that a show is cancelled because of toy sales from toy lines that are

. . . .a. imaginary

. . . . b. not for the show in question

it only had one season of 26 episodes

I'm shocked that people are surprised about toy sales impacting a cartoon's longevity. If you lived through the 80s you'd be used to this. For instance Star Hawks was an infinitely superior show to Thundercats but Thundercats toys sold great while Star Hawks didn't sell for crap. Now Thundercats is a household name and barely anyone remembers Star Hawks

@cattlebattle: You're right I screwed that up but it kind of helps prove my point a bit.

@cattlebattle: It had Superman and Batman as Central cast members

@cattlebattle: It had Superman and Batman as Central cast members

@cattlebattle: They probably made enough off just TAS to fund the first 2 seasons

:(

Dont blame Ryan Reynolds. He did his part well. The movie wasnt up to the mark. And, the show was too good. This is what made the difference between the movie and the show.
Although the reason they gave was very lame.

Man this still annoys me, merch from a bad movie doesn't sell so they cancel a great show...
