I still have some hopes for Batman Beyond mainly because one of the editors berated and reversed a decision to kill off Mad Stan in Hush Beyond. Killing off Terry's enemies was a low move and did absolutely nothing for the series. Continuity errors within itself is presented in Hush Beyond, which led me to consider it non-canon for the sake that it contradicts itself and does more harm than good. Having Mad Stand return was a good step, and even better within his portrayal in his short appearance in Unlimited. I honestly don't think the current writers actually saw Beyond, and given that Joker plugged d**k full of holes, after the Tim Drake incident, supports this. However, the main editor has, so there's that.
Personally, I'd rather not see anymore of the generational characters as that was one of the major things that the creators of Beyond didn't want. We don't have Scarecrow Beyond or Mr. Freeze Beyond. He have Blight, we have Shriek, we have Inq, we have Spellbinder. With characters like these, why do we need a Catwoman Beyond?
Maybe a new writing team can pick it up and do something neat with it. I'm kind of sick of seeing Terry play second fiddle to everyone.
Thank You! I don't feel like they saw Batman Beyond either. So far I haven't seen Blight, Stalker, Inque, Shriek, the Rat Boy, Willy or his Golem, etc. there it is to be a continuation of the series tho, sadly. There are some Batman Beyond appearances that are not set to be cannon. The story is to go from:
Batman Beyond Mini Series 1-6 1999
Batman Beyond Ongoing Series 1-24 1999-2001
Batman Beyond Return of the Joker Tie In
Superman Adventures #64 (Kinda an issue 25 tho in a Superman Comic, where Terry has to go back in time due to a problem Superman caused, however while in the past Braniac takes control over the Beyond suit and Terry and Present Day Superman have to beat him.)
Years later it gets picked up in Superman/Batman Annual #4 in 2007 where it became a "Legit" DC Universe Character, before nerds considered Terry Animated series only and didn't accept him. Then it got these series that continued from it:
Batman Beyond Mini Series 2010 1-6
Batman Beyond Ongoing Series 2011 1-8
Superman Beyond #0 One Shot
Batman Beyond Unlimited Ongoing 2012 1-8/9 so far.
Terry has been in some other comics but they aren't to be a continuation like one famous example is Batman #700 which has Damian Wayne as Terry's mentor not Bruce. So its sad they don't seem to know anything about the show/series in this new "Unlimited" title. And your right Terry is playing second fiddle to everyone. I don't like seeing him take a back seat and playing sidekick, hes now in the Justice League going to other planets, doing Justice League missions, and having others in Gotham help him out (Catwoman Beyond, Vigilante, etc.) while I'm always excited to see Terry get new series, part of me kinda dreads to read how they are going to screw up Batman Beyond next. So I have a love/hate relationship with the series.
