This has been the sentiment of my friends and I for years and largely the reason (in our opinion) that DC is far ahead of our preferred pantheon as it regards cartoons. If Marvel wants to pander to children and short attention spans, more power to them. I'm just not a fan and will continue to enjoy DC's animated universe.

On another note, Disney has much to do with why cartoons are still regarded children's vehicles here in the states. The irony is that Japanese animators learned the craft from Disney's early efforts, but years later America still hasn't grasped what the Japanese have known for a long time which is cartoons are just as viable a medium for telling adult stories as any other. In fact, due to ballooning live action production budgets, 'toons might just be more viable for certain adult themes.
