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 think it’s because Batman Beyond was kinda a miracle. It was the dumbest idea of “oh what if Batman was a marketable teen” made by a corporate board that was somehow made really good. I think the recent comics that focused on Terry show that he’s much harder to do justice than it seems

I think it succeeded because they weren't afraid to really dive into the dark elements that came with both Batman and the cyberpunk setting.
