What a shame. Batman Beyond is great and I’ve hoped that DC would do something with the series. Some day i hope

Is this where batman opens up a bed bath and beyond?

Everyone knows that Harley Quinn emanates from Batman: The Animated Series, but so does her now canonical relationship with Poison Ivy. Even though the pairing was presented as platonic, it planted the seeds for their future romance.

I see what you did there.

It was only as platonic as they could get away with in early 90’s tv animation. It was implied early on they slept together. Paul Dini was a bit pervy where he could get away with it.

“And where is the Batman?”

Poison Ivy and I do share an idea now and then…

Do you suppose Poison Ivy gets hot and bothered watching pollination videos?

More and more, seems like WB is where movies go to die. (see also: Netflix for TV shows)

In the comics, there have been ongoing series and limited series with Terry since the animated series finished. It looks like they’ve also used him in video games and one-shot appearances in other animated series.

I tend to think of how distinct that batsuit looked, the stealth mode, the way the batmobile interior looked like a Virtual Boy, and some of the rogues gallery would really suit animation better. Essentially, take the glimpse of Peni Parker’s future from Into the Spider-Verse and turn that into it’s own animated movie.

I enjoy Batman Beyond well enough, but I have seen too many terrible DC comics adaptations and too many bad live-action adaptations of cartoons that I am not bothered by the cancellation. Movie adaptations are overrated.
