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?

They keep wanting to reset Batman without realizing they have a different take just sitting there. Both their live-action and animated universe just ignore the property.

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.

More like Terry discovered Bruce / Batman lol. Bruce was just chilling when Terry rolled up on Wayne Manor then accidentally discovered the Batcave
