In I think it was a batwing issue I spotted the prototype to the batman beyond suit and noticed how batwing's new suit is so similiar then saw batman wear a stealth suit in superman unchained. I'm wondering is batman beyond cannon at all in new 52 or pre-new 52?

Is anything set in the future ever considered canon?

according to Morrison's future timeline there is a Terry McGinnis operating in a Batman Beyond suit in the future with Damian acting as his mentor but the thing is that since Damian died that timeline can't possibly be the New 52 future....but to answer your question the Batman Beyond animated series and the current comic are the future of the DC Animated Universe that was depicted in Superman: TAS, Batman: TAS, JL, JLU, and the Static Shock series

I suppose you could say it's canon for the Batman Beyond future, the way Miguel O'Hara was canon for the 2099 future. I guess it's almost like a separate universe.

There is no mention of Terry in the canon Batman comics to my knowledge, but 2099 Spiderman is in the actual canon series of Spiderman.

Ah, I just assumed it was like 2099 and the universe just "fast futured". Never read Beyond (tv show was boss) but I read 2099 so that's why I assumed it was similar.

I don't think beyond is cannon in anything (besides the animated universe).

and even then we have some inconsistencies like having the bodies of two robins and nightwing appear in Bruce's dream (don't ask me issue...i'd have to look that up) even though we know Jason Todd didn't exist in the animated universe and Damian seems questionable for that second robin...

but I suppose that in any comic there are inconsistencies...

yeah, considering we have characters in the the Beyond comics who don't exist the same way in the regular comics now (Shazam and Wally inhabit that universe somehow though how is a little complicated with multiple heroes in one character) or like Nightwing is still blue.

Batman Beyond was and still is my favorite cartoon.

Probably not. At some point i'm sure it was, whenever a certain story in the present featured it, but future events are changing all the time in comics and slowly, if they're popular, just become alternate earths/elseworlds.
