Should the Batman Beyond future become canon?

[Castiel]

Given how the characters are getting older I think it would make sense if eventually the canonical story lines moved toward Batman Beyond territory like introducing a young Powers maybe while at the same time having Joker and Harley get back together and drive Tim insane and ultimately breaking the Bat Family up. For me though it would make more sense if Tim ended up becoming a dark secret locked away in Arkham and is never talked about by the Bat Family. I love this idea because Tim's viewed as the most "innocent" Robin and to me it would make for a more tragic story if the Joker despite dying ends up winning by corrupting Tim permanently. Also in a sense it falls in line with the aspect of Batman never being able to be happy.

Another change I'd make is I'd keep Terry, Bruce's son but I wouldn't do what the cartoons did I'd change things so that Bruce at one point gets Selina knocked but doesn't find out until Terry is five or whatever and being raised by the Mcginnis family. That way I can see Bruce indirectly looking out for the family and keeping eyes on Terry.

One of the major reasons I'd prefer Tim to go insane and become the Joker is he'd be a very dangerous antagonist for Bruce and Terry with how brilliant he is if he crossed into insanity he'd be super dangerous. That being said another change I'd make is I'd have Tim be the founder of the Jokerz seen in Batman Beyond rather than them being fanboys or whatever as I think that would make more sense.

Also I'd love a story line about Barbara joining the GCPD and working her way up the ranks as well as a story arc that shows what happened to his other major rogues and shows how old Bruce got to the point where he picked up that gun on his last night as Batman. I just really think a main continuity story that ties things to Batman Beyond would be cool.

Nah. Too depressing.
Current comic Batman Beyond though, better. Damian got epic garb, Dick got to be Mayor...

Nah. Too depressing.

Not nearly as depressing as Last Knight on Earth or Vampire though.

It's already canon future end saw to it,but since time is fluid they make adjustment as the timeline changes

Hmmmm...

I don´t know.. Maybe if Damian is in his 40s/50s and is not Batman anymore for one old wound or some kind of disease replacing Bruce that is dead here.

I'm fine with Beyond being canon, at least in the broad strokes. But I don't need the narrative to actually reach that point. And I definitely don't need certain particulars, like Tim being driven insane or Harley getting back together with the Joker.

But Terry taking over someday in the canon I'm perfectly fine with.

Never cared for the idea that Terry was Bruce's son/clone. Just felt unnecessary as hell.

Damian could be a wrinkle. If he became Batman and had any kind of lengthy career Bruce would die of old age before Damian gave up the cowl. But if Damian ends up taking over the League of Assassins it's not a hurdle.

He's talking about the Beyond from the animated series. That's got nothing to do with Future's End or Dc Canon
