Its not canceled...they've just pretty much finished storyboarding...most it is in "post production" right now. As for a season 4, its still up in the air. Most likely they're gonna do what Marvel did to the Avengers. Reboot it.

Yeah, Transformers is going back to 2D. Same crew though, with Jose doing designs. Reason of this (as well as WB not doing anymore CG shows after Beware the Batman) is cost. CG shows cost roughly 3 times more than a quality show. So yeah...GL costs 3X more than YJ...but the return in profits wasn't that much more than YJ.

The whole idea behind CG shows was to build a "library". So we can borrow things like props (a gun, a car, a building) for any new show or series that comes up. The problem, as encountered with Beware the Batman and GL, is that the shows are sooooo different. So basically nothing from GL's library can be used for Batman.

The same can't be said for 2D shows. Heck, we were still pulling stuff from the library of Batman the Animated series for things like soda cups, townhall building or a tank for YJ..that way we won't have to redesign EVERYTHING. Just send the overseas animators the turns for those items/backgrounds or incidental characters.
