It was probably chosen because Batman and Superman were subtitled "The Animated Series". That doesn't mean it includes nothing but the animated bits. That's way too rigid thinking.

Animation series have long had tie-in comics. Super Friends had comics. Teen Titans had comics. The Batman had comics. Batman: The Brave and the Bold had comics. Beware the Batman had comics. Young Justice had comics. Green Lantern had comics. And the DCAU has had comics for all of its run (and beyond it).
