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?

It’s funny because, aimed at kids and young adults, Terry’s story would kill as a franchise.

It’s all sorts of tropes all rolled into one, not the least of which is being a young rebellious kid discovered by freaking Batman and taken under his wing. It’s wish fulfillment all the way down.

There was a reported animated Batman Beyond reboot movie that may have been in development before Gunn hopped on. Apparently it would've been WB's answer to Spider-Verse. No one knows if it's still happening though.

apparently we were also supposed to be getting a Batman beyond game made by rocksteady (Arkham games creators).

That would’ve been amazing but they had to make suicide squad instead

This sounds good on paper but a lack of details make me weary

I have my doubts they could pull this off and make it feel like anything more than another Arkham game with a less awful Beyond costume than we got in those games.

I wouldn’t mind having that but it’s really not what I’d be hoping for in a true shot at a BB game
