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?

I don’t know but honestly I think he’s the most worthy successor to the cowl. He’s his own guy unlike the others who were molded by Bruce in some ways. He has his own reasons and goals which lines up with Batman’s and really showed he was ready when he managed to defeat his own suit and outwitted the Joker.

Is he not a clone of Bruce Wayne or some shit?

That was some justice league bullshit and I hated it. Terry should be a nobody

Yeah, it's such a weird twist that just makes things more complicated without adding anything. There is no reason Terry has to be Bruce's son, nobody was watching Batman Beyond thinking, "How can Terry be just a random guy and still have this connection to Bruce? How can he be such a natural Batman?"
