Justice League Unlimited #12 - Batman Beyond Identity Reveal Is A Kick In The Junk

Okay, so, if you've been paying attention to DC canon recently, you'll know that recent events have left a handful of time-displaced Justice Leaguers trapped in our time.

They've been teased in the background for some time, but in today's JLU #12, they properly identified everyone on the team:

First off, personally, this feels like a KICK IN THE DICK.

90's Aquaman, Post-Crisis Peeg, Warrior Guy Gardner, Electric Superman, Kingdom Come Alan Scott, and Batman Beyond are some of my weirdly specific favorite versions of those heroes. I was so excited to see them together - especially Supes and Bats - and now I have to face the fact that it's not Terry, but the MONKEY PAWEST of MONKEY PAWS in Tim Drake, who took up the mantle during the awful Future's End event.

It also seems like a miscommunication happened here, because only one Batman Beyond was shown during the Justice League's time shenanigans, and they've already established that Terry is on the newly--introduced-comic-version of the Legends of Tomorrow:

Sounds like a gut punch. Seeing that roster and then finding out it isn’t Terry after all is brutal, especially when they already placed Terry somewhere else in current canon. Easy to see why people would feel blindsided by that choice.
