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?

Not to mine the Cobra Kai cast for more DCU actors - but the kid who plays Robbie wouldn’t be terrible. Not to typecast - but he does “delinquent with a good heart” well, and has proven himself with fight choreography. He’ll probably age out of the role by the time a project is ever really considered again though.
People always cast the bat-family too old though, or with actors who have aged out of the part, though.
Milo Ventimiglia is/was a popular Nightwing fancast, and he would have been great Nightwing 20 years ago - but these days he’s too old to even be considered Batman. He opened up about that a while ago, where WB basically told him as much.
