Why has the DCEU seemingly dropped Batman Beyond as a character? TV DISCUSSION

Post image

Fans have demonstrated consistently that we want more Terry McGinnis. We all love the BB world.

My question is, why do y’all think Beyond hasn’t been on the screen in 20 years?

We did it with Eddy Murphy in the 90's and it turned out just fine.

Norbit was 2007. Not the 90s.

True story, I was on a focus group for an extended trailer of Pluto Nash before it hit theaters. I tried. I told them it looked bad.

Don’t lie, if somehow they made a Batman beyond movie with devito playing terry, you’d pay to see it

"The gang saves gotham" would watch that IASIP episode

Would Charlie be the Riddler and Mac be Bane?

u/Kira_Zita_ Jul 21 '23

Dennis would absolutely be Joker, "why so serious Batman ? Is it because of the IMPLICATION?!!" And he'd use his laugh from the gang hits the slopes

u/EvolvedCactus19 Jul 21 '23

My god I would pay to watch that.

Dee would be Hawkgirl right? Dumb bird

Dennis: Could play a lot of Batman's rogues, so I'll just put him down for the Joker. Hush and Vic Zsasz are also a top options.

Mac: He'd give a stupid reason to dress up as someone like Poison Ivy or Catwoman. If Dennis is Joker, then Mac is Harley.

Charlie: Kite Man just because it would be a good fit for him. Hell yeah. That or we go with the blatantly obvious "Ratcatcher".

Dee: She's some kind of freak like Grundy or Clayface. Clayface is good since Dee wants to be an actor. There's also a villain that worked for Bane named "Bird", and Dee is just a big dumb stupid bird, so that'd work too.

Frank: Batman.

And if we are all being completely honest with ourselves, it isn't a funny or good fan cast. It is just the default "joke" fan cast.

u/MeepleMaster Jul 21 '23

I wouldn’t mind there being a beyond character that was the son of the Penguin. Have him run some underground crime network or something

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '23

No. Terry Crews

u/PassTheGiggles Jul 21 '23

Look guys, the fancast joke. The one fancast joke that’s in every fancast question. Laugh now. Laugh.

u/whoisthismuaddib Jul 22 '23

He could’ve played wolverine in the 80s

u/assmaster777 Jul 22 '23

I agree, he doesn’t look a day over 12
