Time really isn't the reason. One should not forget that near the end of season 2, Torrian had done three animations, all at least six minutes in length, only six weeks apart from each other; Iron man VS Lex Luthor (6 minutes and 59 seconds airing on April 29th 2015), Snake Vs Sam ( 7 minutes, 30 seconds and airing on june 2nd with a difference of 34 days), then Goku VS Superman 2 (6 minutes and 21 seconds, airing on July 18th 2015 with a difference of 46 days).

If i had to guess, its likely because doing so was so taxing on Torrian. The whole reason season 2 ended was because Torrian was working himself to exhaustion. Now he seems to be taking it a lot easier.

The second reason is probably Joker VS Sweet Tooth. That is the last animation Torrian has done that is over 5 minutes long and he really doesn't like it with the amount of flaws it has. I think he is trying to focus on quality rather than quantity now. As a result we get shorter fights.
