Can't say I'm too sad about that. I think the 52 Batman that is coming out will be my last purchase, and it's coming from BBTS. I got what I needed out of DCUC.
I would like Matty to lose the DC license and someone else pick it up eventually. I'd like to see what another company would do with it. The line has lacked imagination, in my opinion.
Check out what Mattel had to say regarding the cancellation of their Young Justice toyline and what we can expect from the company and their DC offerings for the coming months...
Toy Fans,
You may have heard that the time is nearing for the end of the Young Justice toy line. While we’re as bummed as you are, we want to be sure you know this doesn’t in any way mean the end of DC toys from Mattel. In fact, it’s quite the opposite!
Next month kicks off not one, but two new lines: our DC Universe Club Infinite Earths subscription service dedicated to true collector characters you won’t find at retail. The first shipment goes out in May and features an all-new 6” Golden Age The Flash figure. If you missed out on this awesome subscription, a limited quantity will also be available at MattyCollector.com on May 15th at 9am PT. Then, in late May, head to your local retailer and you’ll find The Dark Knight Rises, a kid-targeted Batman™ line. And for 2013, we’re planning an innovative collector-aimed line coming to retail stores.
Keep your eye on this spot and we’ll have more details as they’re available. Our partnership with DC is stronger than ever and we couldn’t be more excited for all the amazing new collector and kid toys to come!
-Matty
All I can say is, just hurry up and give us Larfleeze, Matty!

Hey, DC Fans! Check out The Fwoosh's awesome in-depth look at the first offering from Mattel's Infinite Earth's club - Jay Garrick!
This Justice Society member is finally available through Mattel's exclusive online club and will start shipping out next month!
Featuring new packaging, an awesome chromed up helmet, a great sculpt and even greater paint job, this is the Golden Age Flash every DC fan has been waiting for!
No accessories are included with the figure, but he'll still fit in VERY nicely amongst your other DCUC characters!
The perfect figure to kick off this highly anticipated movement by Mattel! Look for Jay Garrick to start hitting club member mail boxes and online at the Matty Collector website starting this May!
Enjoy!

Does this mean that Supergirl/She-Ra Two-Pack was cancelled?
If I had to guess, I'd say the loss of retail support may be due more because of the prices they charge for these figures and Kids just not being able to afford them than anything else. Although I could be wrong.
