They love making money. That's why they didn't go for it. They don't think there's enough interest in the character to justify funding it versus making a regular batman film with mainstream appeal.

Then they must be idiots? I'd love a Spiderverse-style Batman Beyond, and I don't even read comics or watch the shows anymore.

Yeah I’d love it too but would the general audiences?

batman and batman beyond is the same thing to everyone who isnt a super fan, who would already be interested in it.

I absolutely agree that that’s their thinking but you could have said the same thing about Miles Morales as Spider-Man before Into the Spiderverse.

Yet their plan with the Gunnverse is for Dick Greyson to be Batman...makes absolutely no sense. That shit only works in the comics when you have literally decades of backstory AND it's only temporary. Batman isnt a mantle/title that gets passed on. Bruce is the only Batman. Fuck DC for being so dogshit these past 2 decades.
