Besides this revival project, Nelvana is also working on the Battle of the Planets reboot. Right?

That was formally announced 3 years ago and there's been no news since. It could be still in development, or it may have been abandoned.

Actually, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Anime/BattleOfThePlanets and http://gatchaman.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_the_Planets:_Phoenix_Ninjas both confirm that the project is still in development. Also, I contacted the administrator of www.battleoftheplanets.info and he had this to say to me:

I am in contact with Tatsunoko regularly, and unfortunately there just isn't any news to pass along for the new Battle of the Planets project. As far as I've been told, it is still being worked on but I haven't heard any projected release dates or airing locations yet.
It did not evolve into Infini-T Force, they are two separate productions. Infini-T Force is a Japanese project, and will be centered there. The new Battle of the Planets will be for North America and other territories. Although Infini-T Force received its worldwide premiere in Los Angeles in early July, it is still meant to be mainly a Japanese TV show. I was present at the premiere and they never even mentioned the new Battle of the Planets during the presentation.
If I hear something I can pass along, I'll be glad to let you know.

Well?

TV Tropes and a Wikia don't really know anything more than you or me. It doesn't sound like the admin of that site (who I know used to work for Sandy Frank - the original licensors of Gatchaman) has anymore insight either.

So TMS will be back to work on Bakugan. I'm expecting a trailer during the summer.
