How could CN possibly be making more money on those shows combined than on DC nation?

(are they? hopefully not :P)

Of course they are. High Ratings = More Lucrative Adspace. Why do you think advertisers are shilling out $4 Million for 30 seconds of Super Bowl Adspace?

And, yes, in case you were wondering, Adventure Time and Regular Show have very high ratings. In fact, it's primarily because of those two shows that Cartoon Network is the #1 network for the 6-11 age group (the prime age group for childrens' television).

Not to mention that with these high ratings come merchandise opportunities, namely in the form of video games, action figures, and other types of toys. The merchandise for Adventure Time and Regular Show is growing while the merchandise for Young Justice was discontinued over a year ago.
