I read that too. The $10 million is for an average 2D animated show. We also have top of the line 2D shows, which cost an average of $1 million per episode (Avatar: The Last Airbender). So I'm putting YJ at somewhere in between the 3D and 2D extremes.

Also, it is true that 3D shows cost a lot to make, but this is only when starting up. Once they finish the models for something, it's there. Given enough seasons, GL:TAS can include enough characters and dynamic action to put even Young Justice's fight scenes to shame. And probably at the same or cheaper cost.

This is why Star Wars the Clone Wars looked really awesome once we got into the final seasons. That final arc involving Ahsoka? Looks really really like a Star Wars movie.
