Where are all the Good Super Hero Shows?

  Back in the day, about 12 years ago, we got new shows like Batman, Superman, even Spider-man all the time.  Anywhere from every week to even daily.  Ending with the incredible Justice League Unlimited which was definitely the best animated series ever created.  I really looked forward to watching it every week.  These days it seems like everybody is more interested in creating their very own thing like Ben 10, Robot Chicken, Chaotic, Generator Rex, etc...  Which seem to be either run into the ground with rerun after rerun or sold into syndication to the point where no one even wants to see them every again. 
    But to me it's all more of a question than a complaint.  I mean people obviously still love super heroes.  I mean Batman, Iron Man, hell even Hulk have managed to have pretty good movies in the past few years; so what exactly do these networks think is wrong with having animated shows for them.  And I don't mean the quarter seasons that were on Nicktoons, Toon Disney, and others last year.  The Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon's second season was so short that I don't think it even hit seven episodes. 
    Most attempts for a good series have been bogged down in bad art, kiddie focused stories, and of course what seems to be the worst problem.  The shows come out so rarely only the most die hard of fans pay attention. 
     Considering the super low cost of creating animation these days, after all there are people who make strips on their home computers every day; I can't understand why these shows can't come out more often and have normal seasons.  Or at the very least 9-12 episode ones. 
       Finally with the exception of Batman Begins and Dark Knight; there has NEVER been a live action movie that could hold a candle to the equivalent in animation.  Take a look at some of the recent and excellent animated flicks from both Marvel and DC if you don't believe me. 
          What do you guys think? Am I right?  What heroes would you like to see come out with a NEW animated series?
