Elseworld Universe???

[Storm]

With the latest news about Teen Titans being apart of the DC Animated Continuntiy family (Batman, Superman, Justice League, and Static) Does this eman that BB and ZP are elseworld shows? This is very weird. As much I don't want to ignore Batman Beyond or The Zeta Project I think I have to :( I mean RoTJ really screwed up the DC Animated Continunity. Don't get me wrong RoTJ is one of the best animated movies out there. Do you hink there will be an DC Animated Elseworld Continunity??? Maybe Bruce Timm and others will make more Elseworld shows? Would you like to see an Elseworld Universe? Maybe in the future a JLU show will happen.

I don't understand your question...what makes you think that this would make The Zeta Project and Batman Beyond be Elseworlds?

[Jor-El]

We assume it's Elseworlds because the producers have gone on record before as saying it's a continuity unto itself.

And personally, with all that they still have to make for their shows, there's no reason to go into an Elseworlds universe. Batman Beyond was great and I liked it a lot, but let's hope the Elseworld's stuff ends there.

Thanks Barry & JLL

And the Elseworld Universe was just an suggestion

Don't thank me! I must have sounded like an idiot! I guess I didn't understand what you were meaning...sorry about that...Sometimes I can't understand what I read...go figure!

If they worked this into continuity they could have some great storylines to deal with...Nightwing supporting Robin instead of Batman or something. Remember, Tim Drake didn't want to give up being Robin after his encounter with the Joker in the flashback sequence, it was something he grew to hate over time. They never explicitly stated he would never be Robin again...

[Squall]

It's not the Batman forbidding Tim Drake to be Robin again that screws up the continuity in the Animated DC Universe here; it's the fact that Joker died at the end, while Tim Drake was still young.

The easiest way to fix this is in your mind; I just pretend that Tim Drake was older when the ROTJ flashback happened than he really was. His voice did sound a little older... :) Thus the ROTJ flashback happened right after JL's and TT's series... :)

[Jor-El]

While Squall's explanation is plausible, the series in an Elseworlds series and there's no reason to have to work out the timeline. It happened in a totally seperate continuity.

Me personally, I think of ZP and Batman Beyond as Elseworlds anyway.

[BeastBoyWonder]

My continuity is BTAS, STAS, TNBA, and BB. To me, JL doesn't fit.

[goatboy57]

I think Timm and company underestimate the viewers' desire for continuity. I can understand the writers not wanting to get "boxed in", but I think the majority of fans want to put BTAS (both), STAS, JL and BB in the same "universe" and, simply, in a certain timeline.
If something happens in JL that may conflict with what happens in BB, leave it to viewers to make an assumption there's an event that will happen between the two timelines that will logically work out, but don't throw continuity out the window! Am I in the minority on this? I don't think so.

[metaphysician]

Batman Beyond is a series set in the future. *ALL* future stuff is "possible future."

People expecting it to be canon are just setting themselves up to made fools of.

[BeastBoyWonder]

I am simply stating that I enjoyed BB, and I would rather keep it in my little universe than JL. Whether things contradict each other, or the future is nothing like what is predicted in BB is of little consequence to me. I am aware that many of the science-fiction elements of BB are not plausible for the near future. I just enjoyed the show more than JL so far, and am picking it out of personal preference.
