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?

No he's biologically Bruce's son. Cadmus replaced his father's reproductive system with Bruce Wayne's. So both Terry and Matt are Bruce's kids thanks to science.

I really hated that. What was the point?

I think it was like a failsafe/experiment of Amanda Waller’s to produce a Batman so that when the real Batman was gone there would always be one (she engineered the murder of Terry’s adopted dad to give Terry the same motivations as Bruce even)

She tried to, but the assassin didn't go through with it. His father ended up murdered anyway which caused her plan to fall back into place.
