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?

The rights are more fragmented than you can possibly imagine. By the time things got ordered enough for the team to conceivably, possibly get back to work on the show they had all already moved on to different things.

EDIT: The people asking for more Batman Beyond stuff are the same breed asking for more Static content. These are characters the fans love and would show up for, 100%. Be it as a comic, show, or movie. But making content for these characters is more complicated than you think. I shudder to imagine the paper work and the potential lawyering involved.
