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.
I hate how modern cartoons are so fucking braindead compared to what we used to have. A ton of cartoons treated the audience with respect, look at stuff like Static Shock, Clone Wars, Teen Titans, etc. they tackled hard topics and challenged the audience with moral dilemmas and provided well-produced action.
Hell, Teen Titans and Static Shock are some of the best portrayals of racism I’ve ever seen period. They treated the racist characters with respect and allowed them to look past surface-level observations and grow as a character instead of immediately writing them off as deplorable and making them the butt of every possible joke.
Nowadays we have teen titans Go doing an episode about thick thighs and butts or something stupid like that.
Even Avatar which was fairly recent relatively speaking was incredible.
