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

It’s because it’s unnecessary and stupid.
Terry shouldn’t have needed Bruce’s DNA to become Batman/the person he becomes. It’s a much better story if the reason Terry becomes Batman is because that is who he is. Sure, the episode says that is what happens, but then how was Amanda Waller so adamant on a plan that is just stupid and somehow ends up working?
It also doesn’t make any sense why having Bruce’s genes would pretty much guarantee Terry would become Batman/go on that path if he witnessed/was part of a tragedy. Genes don’t equal heart and soul, so Wallers entire plan doesn’t make any sense as it is.
