I thought they take place after the cartoon. Not in the mainstream Universe, nevertheless, it's getting re-launched.

There is a little confusion regarding it. Basically, after FP, it's getting relaunched at #1 **but** it's continuing the storyline from before. Essentially, all it's doing is bringing it's format in line with everything is, which is causing more confusion that anything else, ironically. It's unclear at-the-moment whether it's part of the 52 or not, although it'd be wierd if it was revealed alongside all the Superman stuff tomorrow.

why does everyone assume hes never gonna be part of the main dc comics? harley was 1st introduced in the animated series and shees part of the main comics, why cant terry?

Barbara Gordon could walk in Batman Beyond..... she is getting that ability back here soon after the revamp. Coincidence?

lol and batman inc is part of batman beyond's continuity, they are slowly bringing the gap between the main continuity and the possible future

@War Killer: I believe it is. It's going to run through issue 10 then take a break. Then it will continue in January I believe? It's all tied in to the current Leviathan story Morrison has been building up to.

@War Killer: The way I understood it is that it'll be the last pre-reboot story. Don't quote me on that though.  

Someone told me a while ago that Batman Beyond was recently proven to be canon.

Is Batman Inc. still part of the main continuity now with the reboot? O_o

Batman Beyond takes place in Earth-12

It's not one of the 52 new #1's since those are DCU, it's just going to #1 so any new readers looking for #1's from DC think it's one of the 52 and be more likely to buy it since those ones are starting at the beginning even though this one isn't. Beechen did say he is going to do an origin story for the newbies at some point: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/06/08/dc-relaunch-batman-beyond-1/

It is main line and it's closing the gaps, it's been doing so since the beginning of the run, anyone who says it isn't main DCU canon hasn't read the damn books and the letters pages. END OF STORY!

So if that's true, basically everyone else has throw there work or anything they had planned out the window, but because he's Grant Morrison he gets to finish HIS story even though it would be pointless at that point? That's just stupid...
