So I watched Batman Beyond from start to finish over the summer. I like Terry as a character. Since I prefer reading comics to other comic-related media, I decided to check out Batman Beyond comics. Truth is, I'm a bit confused about what to read. I intend to read the other Batman Beyond books eventually, but I think it'd be good to read the stuff that is (at least in theory) current canon in the post-Flashpoint universe. I know Terry's in Future's End, but I skipped that event really (besides a couple of the one-shots that tied to the comics in my pull list at the time). Regardless of your opinions of Future's End, I want to read it, but which Batman Beyond comics are part of that continuity? I know there's a currently ongoing post-Rebirth series, but I'll get to that once I've finished the stuff leading up to it. There's a 2015 series which presumably comes right out of Future's End. I know there are other Batman Beyond books (from a glance at Comixology) that were published post-Flashpoint, but I'm not sure if they're the same continuity. Any ideas?

Batman Beyond 2.0 is the only other book, I can think of. That one follows Terry from the animated series. They, along with Justice League: Beyond (or 2.0, I don't remember) tell the story of the future of the DCaU.

The most recent series follow Tim Drake and Terry, following Futures' End.

Batman Beyond (1999-2001, 2010, 2011), Batman Beyond Unlimited (2012), and Batman Beyond 2.0 (2013) follow DCAU Terry. Basically, any issue made after 2014 is unrelated to the DCAU/Batman Beyond cartoon.

Now, if you want to experience Terry in the mainstream DC universe then read the 2015 and Rebirth series'.

Cheers guys :-)

I'll start with the 2015-onwards stuff and then look at the older DCAU stuff when I've got a bit more time.
