Ranking Every DCAU Show And Film Worst To Best

14. The Zeta Project

The Zeta Project centred on a Terminator-like infiltration robot who grew a conscience and decided that he no longer wanted to kill people. This, naturally, forced him to go on the run from his creators, the National Security Agency - a move which saw him cross paths with teenage runaway Ro.

Together, the pair set out to prove that Zeta meant no harm.

Airing for two seasons between 2001 and 2002, the series was a spin-off of Batman Beyond. That being said, its animation style is quite different as the objects are sharper and the colours brighter - giving it a more kid-friendly appearance. Even Zeta sports a look that is drastically different to his original Batman Beyond design.

While The Zeta Project may be the show that feels the least like the DCAU (in appearance at least), it utilises the same long-form storytelling method of its predecessors incredibly well, with Zeta and Ro's goal to find the former's creator being the focal point of the story.

Thus, it's impossible not to root for the dynamic duo which, like their more recognisable DCAU counterparts, makes their episodic adventures all the more enjoyable.
