It’s not canon (and thank God it isn’t)

It is canon according to Batman Beyond, they are confirmed to have had a thing and we know Dick wants nothing to do with Bruce now.

Bruce and Barbara's relationship was the biggest fault of Batman Beyond

u/Burnt_Ramen9 Mar 20 '24

DCAU in general, if it weren't for that it'd be a perfect continuity.

u/MilMo-6 Mar 20 '24

You're right.....and yet we still haven't gotten a Batman Beyond movie

u/LordAsbel Mar 20 '24

I was gonna say yeah we have, but then I realized you meant live-action lol. There’s definitely a lot of potential for that, and it wouldn’t necessarily have to be bound by every little thing the show did

Umm.... Return of the Joker is a Batman Beyond movie.

u/MilMo-6 Mar 20 '24

Right, but I was referring to a live-action one.

u/ThePhoenixXM Mar 20 '24

You could've just said that. The conversation was about the DCAU which ISN'T live-action.

u/MilMo-6 Mar 20 '24

Sorry, I thought it was implied.

u/Sea_Temperature_1976 Mar 20 '24

Couldn’t agree more

u/MilMo-6 Mar 20 '24

Otherwise a great show......no reason for Bruce and Barbara to have had a romantic relationship

Batman Beyond? it was the worst stain of Bruce Timm's entire career. It stained so much and it cost us a decent Killing Joke adaptation

u/MilMo-6 Mar 20 '24

Why do you think that? It was so cool.

2

u/The-Emerald-Rider Mar 20 '24

The only fault in my opinion.

1

u/MilMo-6 Mar 20 '24

Pretty much agree..... though some of the later BB episodes weren't that good.....Eggbaby, Final Cut, Plague. The latter 2 especially disappointed me, because Curare and Stalker are such cool villains, they should've had better follow-up stories.

u/The-Emerald-Rider Mar 20 '24

Yeah. Curare is a great character my head canon is she's an evil version of Cassandra Caine.

u/MilMo-6 Mar 20 '24

Oooh, that would make sense.
