Batman: The Animated Series is considered by many to be the definitive Batman, over Michael Keaton's Batman and even Christian Bale's. It was aired right along side Animaniacs and Tiny Toons, so it didn't exactly grab adult audiences at the time, but I think if handled correctly today, something like that would definitely grab adult audiences.

The truth of the matter is that if there were animated Firefly, we'd all watch it. We may have our concerns about it, but we'd be all over it. The fan base for Firefly is so much larger now than it was when the show aired. Considering how much less expensive animation is than live action, I think animated Firefly would do extremely well.

EDIT: I know I'm referring to a huge franchise here. Firefly could turn into a huge franchise too.

Somehow I doubt we'd ever become a huge franchise. To me Firefly works because the characters are awesome and the humor and drama work together really well. I don't see that working forever. You can't just keep the same characters or the show would get stale. Can you really bring in new characters and keep the magic? I don't know but I pretty much see Firefly as having a shelf life that can't go on forever.

Sure - by comic geeks and hardcore media fans. Basically, if we're talking about someone who would ever post to a board like this, or get into such conversations - they ain't part of the "general audience".

They tried to launch that version of Batman for general audiences - airing the show in Prime Time after The Simpsons, releasing Mask of the Phantasm theatrically - and it tanked.
