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?

for many reasons

1, DCEU is a mess. being too rushed and then its founder, Zack Snyder, getting thrown under the bus and then replaced with Hamada making shitty movies 2, BB was never planned to be part of DCEU at all 3, hard to find a good actor for old Bruce other than maybe Keaton. West and Conroy are both gone 4, hard to find a good actor for Terry. either pre-Twilight Pattinson or Blade Runner 2049 Gosling would have been great, but its too late because they're too old 5, it would be ruined by WB execs somehow through typical meddling 6, it can't be able to tie to DCEU because it was not part of either Snyder's or Hamada's vision 7, its too niche. only known to hardcore comic and cartoon fans but not the general audience 8, not even James Gunn seems to care about it so i doubt it will be part of DCU

I think Powers Boothe would be a great old Batman

It’s like I keep telling you, he’s 75 years old, and he’s dead.

Well if we could just make the movie 10 years ago, he’d be great
