I was never a fan and the fact that the creators of the character and series have said it was “the worst written of the shows we did” and “it was really a spiderman cartoon not a Batman cartoon” only reaffirms my opinion that it was just not a good Batman story
Timm is obviously entitled to his opinions, but the fact that lots of people liked Beyond even he himself didn't speaks volumes of his talent as a creator. It's like how people love The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess even when Shigeru Miyamoto said that TP didn't turn out the way he hoped it would.
Then again, Miyamoto is the same guy who sang his praises towards Star Fox Zero, so... yeah.
The first quote is from Timm the second is from Alan Burnett so 2 of the 3 lead creatives have said it has issues
I understand people like the character of Terry, or rather his personality, but the story and writing just aren’t good. Literally everyone from BTAS ends up worse off and miserable, not to mention the pure insanity of altering Terry’s Dad’s DNA so that he produces Bruce Wayne’s sperm instead of his own. Like WTF even is that
@DeefMD That plot point was how they originally planned to end the final 4th season of Batman Beyond they were planning. However WB cancelled the show because they wanted to do a Justice League show instead. Thus they ended up putting it in a JLU episode instead. So I very much can call them out on it because the plot comes from the very writing that Bruce Timm was criticising. And when the guy who had Batman sleep with his adopted son’s girlfriend says the waiting’s bad you know it’s bad
