>65 episodes over 5 seasons of 13 episodes each + movie
>each season with a different character focus: TT on Robin, Terra, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy, while TB has Ethan, Yin, Batgirl, Robin, and finally the Justice League as a whole
>each season has both entirely standalone eps which still integrate into the story, and episodes with heavy continuity (mostly season premieres/finales)
>3 different intros for each (TT: English/Japanese/Larry, TB: S1-2/S3/S4-5)
>rather similar (though certainly not identical) animation style, especially compared to other cartoons
>Robins look remarkably similar (see pic)
>Batman appearing in TT spinoff comics looks most like TB's version
>TT primarily aired on CN and TB on Kids WB, but both shows aired on each others' main networks during their runs

I'm going to stop you right here. This is the standard "full" run for a series that targets children at least in the mid 00s. 52 is technically where the limit got drawn but the extra 13 happens if you're popular. It has to do with union rules. Basically they bill it as S1 = 26, S2 = 26, S3 = 13. Sometimes if it's extremely popular you get more than that but it usually happened with a title change to avoid giving everyone on the crew raises.

Except each season was completely separate here, at least in writing terms. Not to mention there are plenty of 65-episode cartoons that don't follow this pattern: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SixtyFiveEpisodeCartoon

Writing structure doesn't change the financial categorization when it comes to the union rules.

Isn't that a good thing? Anime is widely considered superior.

You are aware that TT season 5 was originally going to be 20 episodes, right anon? If they were even considering that, it throws your logic out the window completely.
