The Zeta Project was an animated series that ran from 2001 to 2002. It was a spinoff of the Batman Beyond episode "Zeta". Infiltration Unit Zeta was built by the government to replace and eliminate targeted enemies. On one mission, however, he learned that the man he was sent to kill was innocent and made the decision not to destroy anymore. Unfortunately for Zeta, the government believes he has been reprogrammed by the organization he had been infiltrating and will stop at nothing to retrieve the renegade synthoid. On the run from the National Security Agency, Zeta is joined by Rosalie Rowan, a sarcastic, street-smart runaway searching for her family. With Ro's help, "Zee" learns that his only chance for freedom is to find his creator, Doctor Eli Selig. The show was cancelled at the eleventh hour, with the crew unsure if the network would renew it (but ordered to have a cliffhanger, the apparent death of Eli Selig, anyway as a ratings boost). Robert Goodman said in an interview with Worlds Finest Online that this made him unsure where to take the show. "I also knew that if we did come back, the network wanted to take the show in directions I didn't want to go... I was wondering if it wouldn't be best to let the curtain go down right then and there." On 12th May 2013, Goodman finally revealed one of those directions when he tweeted that "one of the twists the network wanted" was that Ro would be a robot. Goodman made it clear that Zeta and Ro wouldn't have become a couple; "sorry to disappoint, 'shippers."
