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. Goodman said he had the idea for a spinoff from " Zeta " when the episode was in pre-production, after the Batman Beyond team had been socialising after the Emmy Awards: "The Fugitive but with a runaway robot".
His original intention was to make a show "darker" than Batman Beyond and the intention was to use the original design, with use of laser guns. The network pushed for a more kid-friendly, lighter approach.
Zeta's design was redone to be more "relatable" as a result, a decision Goodman felt was correct, and Zeta was possibly recast due to a network design for a friendlier voice. The network's directive led to the show being brightly coloured, often set in daylight, and with an entirely pacifistic Zeta and somewhat less aggressive Bennett. Notably, when both appear in Beyond episode " Countdown ", they are far more violent than on Zeta Project with Zeta throwing Jokerz off a bridge and Bennett recklessly endangering bystanders!
Underneath the surface brightness, however, the show remained about a former sanctioned killer, with plots involving extrajudicial assassinations, government coverups, and the basic idea of the government as one character put it "sending infiltration units home to their [targets] wives and kids" [2]. Robots based on Zeta's original form would appear in Justice League Unlimited , an intentional nod to show the start of the government's synthoid projects.
Goodman planned a four year semi-serialised arc, partly mapped out based on The Fugitive and how many episodes Lt. In his Watchtower interview, Goodman confirmed he did have plans for an IU8 but has since forgotten most of them and had some input in the game. However, the show was cancelled in its second season at the eleventh hour, with the crew unsure if the network would renew it. The show was ordered to have a cliffhanger, the death of Eli Selig and a robotic hand out of the water, as a ratings boost just in case the network decided to renew.
