Probably the same reason it took Marvel much longer to start making quality live-action films: They didn't have Warner Bros.
DC is owned by WB, and that has tremendous resources when it comes to television and animation.
The Batman show was definitely awesome. One of the greatest cartoons ever and it's recognized as such. That was the exception I was referring to.

Marvel probably just wanted to get their properties out there on TV. The teams probably weren't as good. I know the company distributing them forced them to tone it down on Spider-Man too. So that didn't help.
