The DCAU has a show nobody talks about: The Zeta Project. I only just watched an episode tonight, and now I wish it had been more popular. A robot trying to earn emancipation and freedom from life as a killer...that's an amazing concept. I love robots. Red Tornado and The Vision are some of the best comic characters ever. The loneliness of being something inhuman, yet also not being robotic as everyone expects you to be...I feel like I can understand androids a little too well. A revival of this show could probably do quite well. I don't much care for the ties to Batman Beyond, but I appreciate that we have a runaway robot travelling the future united states fighting against the military industrial complex. Bonus points for Diedrich Bader voicing Zeta. The animation may look very cheap when compared to something like Superman the Animated Series, but the show seems like it had a lot of potential. Untapped potential that nobody ever managed to use correctly. It's a shame.
I just finished this show and I’m in distraught. It deserved better. It definitely had potential and it’s sad you don’t really get much closure in the end due to the cancellation.
You can say the other older dc shows with the more popular characters were better, okay, but this show was still good and should’ve had a full run.
I’ll always hope they return in some way in the future. I just love Ro and Zee and I wish we saw more of them💔
