Batman Beyond was genuinely one of the best superhero cartoons, though. It had no right to be any good, and if a cartoon with that exact premise was made today it'd be trash, but it was excellent.
I agree with u/AnimeAnon about most of the rest, though. Multiverses were a mistake.
The thing that made Beyond so strong that most of these fail is that it was a genuine torch pass. Like, it was way in the future with things changed and the original couldn't just "come back" to reclaim his costume.
It was a sequel instead of a multiverse counterpart.
I love how in the episode with Ra's Al Ghoul and the Lazarus pit, when the possibility of Bruce getting young and being Batman again is brought up, Terry preemptively insists he's not going to be Robin.
Or in Shriek's intro episode, when Terry realizes Bruce still calls himself Batman in his own head. "That's my name now." And Bruce actually has a hint of a smile.
Tell that to my subconscious.
