I quote from a TV Tropes page here - but don't use it in any articles here, since it's unsourced:

"Time-Warner either didn't think too highly of the show, decided to use the show as a ransom program to coax cable providers into picking the network up by hoping for heavy requests from subscribers and is failing miserably in their tactics, or, as some speculated, is doing this on purpose to mess with Hasbro's marketing, since Time-Warner is primarily partnered with Mattel (Mattel has the toy rights to DC's characters, and DC is owned by Time-Warner. Likewise, Hasbro has the toy rights to Marvel characters, and Marvel is not only owned by Disney, but is a direct competitor to DC)."

All we *can* know is that Boomerang stopped broadcasting the show in March of '12 as a result of losing the rights to broadcast it.
