Well ladies and gents it has finally happened, Batman Beyond (Terrance McGinnis) is now cannon to the main story line! How does that make you feel?

Kinda late to the party there buddy, just saying. :P

But I'm still curious if Futures End will in fact be canon. The fact that it takes place five years in the future along with the fact that apparently Batman Beyond is trying to alter the future by changing the past...that alone makes me wonder how any of this won't be considered some random alternate future reality and therefore...not really canon in the end. <_<

So Bruce/Diana is canon now too?!?

@pizzaman: .... Maybe. I mean that was in the show. I'm not sure it applies to the actual comics.

@war_killer: Regardless it shows that Batman Beyond is still a character in the future so even if he goes back in time to change the time line to avoid Brother Eye's conquest the fact that Terry still exist shows that he is cannon. Anyway I'm really excited to see how this turns out!

True. I'm just slightly worried because I'm a huge fan of Batman Beyond and I don't want to start reading this series, enjoying Terry being canon, only to have the story end with Terry completing his mission and disappearing or something...making him not canon anymore.

Though if anything, I actually would love for an actual Batman Beyond series to spin out of all this, possibly ending with Terry's future being changed and a new future of the New 52 being born. I wouldn't mind seeing how some of the characters from the New 52 could end up in a Beyond-like future.

If you're referring to the relationship between Bruce and Diana from the Justice League animated series, then no that is still not canon. This is not the same Terry McGinnis from the DC Animated Universe. This a different Terry apparently from an apocalyptic future of the current New 52 DC Universe. This will in no way make anything from the DC Animated Universe canon as that is all in it's own, separate universe.

That being said, it's still a possibility that the current New 52 Bruce and Diana could get together at some point. It's unlikely, but still possible.

@war_killer: Oh thank god! that relationship made no sense whatsoever.

Kingdom Come.

I realize that this is from ten months ago, but you are getting your wish.

okay?
