What I hate the most isn’t even that it happened.

It is the people defending it. Everywhere I go I see people say “hey it wasn’t bad at all” and “he still raised Terry so it doesn’t really matter” and “he had black hair it makes perfect sense”

Its like… it was completely unnecessary. Nothing was gained from this plot twist. The only thing that changed was that a father was robbed of having actual genetic kids. It didn’t make Terry and Bruce’s relationship any deeper, because they never needed to be blood related for that to be the case. Terry’s actions were always enough.

I'm confused why this was, at the time, expected to be the end off the DCAU.

Just to plug a "plot hole" solved by hair dye? That's dumb.
Just to give a send up to BB? The Once and Future Thing was already in the can and I doubt a grander flash forward episode could've been pulled.
Just to show Waller really became a believer in superheros? This was muddled.
Just to say "Fate is just government conspiracy with tact"?
Just to ship a little? Like Dana and Terry were interesting enough to devote an episode to resolving?
Just to revisit Ace? To suggest that's where Bruce got the name for his dog?
Just to have a "It started with Batman it ends with Batman" closed loop?

Maybe I'm not a big enough Batman Beyond fan to be serviced by this. But it really seemed to be poised to answer questions no one was asking.

I have absolutely no opinion on the whole Return of the Joker hijacking of Terry. Everything is usually unbelievably insular in comics. At the same time I don't think having the same episode get built up and totally subverted would be interesting either. Like say Waller is telling the story prefixed with "Imagine" or "Consider if" and vague statements about "A man" and "His wife and child" with all the same background animation. Then to turn around at the end to say say "oh no: this wasn't you or your dad. It was Jason Manning, I'm sure you know him better as J-Man, but that was more than a decade ago. He's moved to Central City, left that life and became an accountant after a stint in Juvie.".

I'm not angry at you for it, but could you explain why, if it goes past that "And Terry gets to be Happy" conclusion? Again not because I'm obsessed with some breeder meme, or so strongly invested in Terry's love life that I'm bothered by Dana. But the episode always seemed disjointed.

I had to informed by developer commentary upwards of 15 years after the episode was released that the black and white scenes were Terry imagining the future where he burned his bridges and not him flashing back torpedoing his relationships as he came to Waller to find answers before he went over the edge. Instead it's just.... a little like that but without the consequences of Terry accusing Bruce without proof: which I would think is absolutely in character for the teen Terry at least.

To me the stupidest part of this whole thing was getting The Phantasm to be the parent killer. Having Terry's parents killed by a very Batman-like figure would probably produce the opposite of what Waller wants. Not to mention it's pretty out of character for Andrea to even consider doing something like this, based on what we saw of her in Mask of the Phantasm.

it was a dumb and stupid change that was completely unnecessary, kind of obtuse to make work, added nothing to the situation, was confusing, led to no grand revelations, and if that wasn't all enough, also had weird eugenicist overtones where batman was this one unique amazing individual with Special Super Genes, which kind of ruins the notion of batman being batman because he has the willpower and the brain, not just special magic protagonist genes, like Superman.

Except the message is kind of the opposite. It would have been better if it was revealed that he was lied to about that at the end / it hadn't worked so he really WAS just some random kid and thus proved that Batman could have been anybody determined enough and a good enough guy.

...but that was the point of the episode
Terry still became Batman because he chose to, his dad getting killed had nothing to do with Waller's plan anymore since she abandoned it after Phantasm refused to kill Terry's parents
Terry didn't really inherit anything from Bruce genetically except the obvious physical traits. He had none of Bruce's actual physical prowess, or his intelligence or his cunning. Terry still did things his way and still acted like a teen would and had to be taught what to do by Bruce anyway and he still figured out how to do things HIS way and not the BATMAN way
Terry was literally manufactured to be Batman but in the end he isn't Batman even if he takes up the mantle

It's basically like a Big Boss/Solid Snake situation; Snake was manufactured to be just another Big Boss but he rejected it and embraced his own way of living

Okay, well this is personal preference and all, but I like stories that can manage to be cathartic yet still give a "the adventure continues!" type of open ending. Generally this is very hard to achieve because writers end up aggresively tying up loose ends to almost completely remove the possibility of actual sequels (Digimon 02 enidng), or they self sabotage their own story and flat out down resolve the majority of their character arcs and plot in favor of open ended sequelbaiting which is a terrible method of writing.

In Terry's case, most of his growth came to a climax with Blight and later differentiating himself in ROTJ, so I never expected epilogue to develop Terry more. I was fine with them using it as an excuse for an emotional cord with Bruce and Terry, which the final scene accomplished. I didn't mind Bruce being the father since it was just used as an emotional set piece to deal with Terry's angst about his relationship with Bruce over the past 15 years.

As for Dana, I just think she's a victim of bad writing and not that interesting. I think his platonic relationship with Max would serve an excellent foundation for a future romance arc, especially after one offs like the hypno episode. I think Dana's strongest traits -

I mean, I guess the points that came up from that whole episode were:
1. You don't need to have your parents shot in an alley to become Batman
2. Just because someone's related to Batman doesn't mean they'll take up the mantle or even be heroic (note: Terry's younger brother, who would probably make an awful Batman.)
3. Waller's plots were always nuts (haha) and this wasn't any different.
4. Ironing in the idea that Gotham needs a Batman of some kind because Batpeople are the glue keeping borderline literal Hell from taking everything over.
5. Bruce never had any kids (as far as he knew) because he pushed everyone away. Terry almost did the same thing, but despite the mantle and despite being Bruce's son, he still manages to finally decide to bang his girlfriend.

The only problem I had with the episode was how Terry spent the whole thing wanting to quit being Batman and how a bunch of the episode was wasted on him being mad at Bruce.

Then again, most Batman media is so gloom-n-doom and grimdark angry bloodfest rapey poopie that it's all a smear of black and brown, and a plot about an abused psychic ruined by Joker isn't exactly new there.
I'm still mad Batman TAS, Superman TAS, most of the Justice League content tied to those two, and Batman Beyond are all the pinnacle of superhero content, yet nobody emulates that feel of good and bad, light and dark.
I also really miss when Batman actually did some detective work here and there, finding clues and scaring the shit out of rando goons.

Probably because that requires actual effort to pull off.

No, just that he never seemed to consider Dick all that important to Bruce, at least as a son, after BTAS. The fact that Beyond barely addresses what happened to him, and the push to make Terry his son, just gives me the impression that he felt Bruce needed a son. As if Tim and Dick weren't enough. Plus the fact that Bruce is implied to have known for a while, it's almost a guarantee that Bruce didn't just see Terry as a pupil after that point.
Contextually,I get it, Timm is a 60's/70's kid, around that time Dick and Bruce's relationship was framed more of a big brother/little brother thing. Not the same as a son.

Frankly I don't see how Amon could have been 'revealed' without subverting his entire message. Because the message is too simple so there would be nothing to discover without it. Let's briefly explore broad avenues.

>Amon is 100% honest.
The obvious conclusion to reach based on his story was he had spirit bending given to him in a similar way to Aang in TLA finale. Th reveal is to discover the motive behind the spirit who did this. Probably the real big bad of S1 or villain for the next season.
>Amon is 90% honest.
At best Amon is revealed to be a Spirit Bender and revealed there's powersother than removing a target's bending, which he is using.
>Amon is lying but is a spirit
Pretty much the same as the top. Koh was suggested to be involved during airing because face/mask whatever.
>Amon is another character in a mask
This means someone is using the Equalist movement to advance their own agenda. Doing it via sock puppets obviously means most of the shit he's spewing is propaganda.
>Amon is generally lying but less than in canon
There's so many permiations here but let's say the core principle like Amon can't even actually remove bending but is a burned farmboy. It's all a crock and he can't do more than regular chi blocking, or maybe uses ultrathin acupuncture needles to enhance its impact. But he's trying to use the fear/threat of it to stoke change. Which would require a conspiracy of all healing benders to be corroborating the effect of his power.
>Canon - say 85-90% Lying.
As is. He's either created or coopted a movement based on threadbare facts to instigate his personal agenda.
>Amon is totally lying
Then he's not a fascist dictator wannabe that hates benders. He's the stooge 'great enemy' set up by another dictator wannabe that wants to use benders which will necessitate that reveal and be the real villain etc...

Like there may be a good story in one of these avenues, but I can't see where it would be that would improve Amon himself.

Phantasm being the intended killer was a cool cameo for long time fans, but in theory it’s the dumbest shit ever because the whole point of the set up would be to motivate Terry against crime and urban decay. Having the killer be anyone besides a random mugger would have the opposite effect and just probably just drive one to seek out the very distinct high skill assassin. Also there’s no way if that crime was reported Bruce wouldn’t hear about it and immediately get involved thus unraveling the conspiracy before it even paid off.

Once you establish "Mysterious masked man, with mysterious power, with great ambitions". Even if there are no answers given: those things at least need more screentime to be an element of the story. Which, the less upfront, more likely than not will turn out to be a 'reveal' at the end.

[Assistant]
>>136941678
There’s a subtle difference between a twist and a reveal. A reveal is simply when new information is given to the audience. A twist is when the new information changes the entire nature of the story and how the audience perceives all that came before. For instance in Iron Man 3, the reveal is that Killian and The Mandarin are working together, but the twist is that The Mandarin is fake. One is feeding you information, the other is changing the nature of the information. Getting back to Amon, as a faceless man it was expected his identity would be revealed eventually, but the nature of his identity it turned out was false and thus was a twist.

>Amon is totally lying
Then he's not a fascist dictator wannabe that hates benders. He's the stooge 'great enemy' set up by another dictator wannabe that wants to use benders which will necessitate that reveal and be the real villain etc...

Like there may be a good story in one of these avenues, but I can't see where it would be that would improve Amon himself.

[Assistant]
>>136938726
Anon, the first one is obviously better, like by miles:
 Just imagine it from Korra's perspective.

>Amon has been chosen by the spirits because they don't believe people deserve bending; As the Avatar I am obviously the one that must face this challenge.
>He has a real point and the fact that as much people as he already has in his organization join him is proof that there is a real issue that needs to be addressed
>Even if he is right in a way, his methods are flawed and terrorism should never be glorified.
>It's a challenge both in the philosophical sense and as a battle to truly overcome him and his movement to bring back a balance between bender, non-bender, and nature in this modern ever evolving world.

>LOL, JK, HE WAS A LYING BENDER PIECE OF SHIT. NEVER MIND ALL THAT CRAP! ALSO, I CAN BEND AIR AND GO SUPER AVATAR NOW. JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE AS I KICK HIS ASS.

Phantasm being the intended killer was a cool cameo for long time fans, but in theory it’s the dumbest shit ever because the whole point of the set up would be to motivate Terry against crime and urban decay. Having the killer be anyone besides a random mugger would have the opposite effect and just probably just drive one to seek out the very distinct high skill assassin. Also there’s no way if that crime was reported Bruce wouldn’t hear about it and immediately get involved thus unraveling the conspiracy before it even paid off.

[Assistant]
>>136941584
I don't think Waller knew much about The Phantasm other than her being the one villain Batman never caught, which was probably why she specifically hired her.

Otherwise, why hire the woman knows SPECIFICALLY what put Bruce on the path that ruined both his and her lives, and then ask her to do that to someone else?

There’s a subtle difference between a twist and a reveal. A reveal is simply when new information is given to the audience. A twist is when the new information changes the entire nature of the story and how the audience perceives all that came before. For instance in Iron Man 3, the reveal is that Killian and The Mandarin are working together, but the twist is that The Mandarin is fake. One is feeding you information, the other is changing the nature of the information. Getting back to Amon, as a faceless man it was expected his identity would be revealed eventually, but the nature of his identity it turned out was false and thus was a twist.

[Assistant]
>>136942357
Yeah, but what was the nature of the story as people were expecting? That it was the face-stealer? That it was some separate reincarnation of a former avatar? That it was an "energy-bender"?

At the end of the day what people were expecting that they were completely let down by was that it was someone who actually had conviction for what he was preaching. And the fact that it turns out "no, actually, this guy's mostly just some abused kid who grew up with a manipulation complex who doesn't really seem to have an opinion about the whole bender vs non-bender dynamic" was only a plot-twist in the sense that people were expecting the plot not to be shit, but now we got some new information that entirely changes the nature of the story, because I guess it turns out the story is shit.

I just think it was to drive the point even further that Terry was his own man in the end despite becoming Batman
The idea that literally everything was stacked against him since birth, right down to being Bruce's actual son, but it still didn't change who he was in the end
I'm sure it didn't need to be written but I also don't think it's one of the worst written things ever like the melodramatic anons ITT are saying

[Assistant]
>>136935293
>I just think it was to drive the point even further that Terry was his own man in the end despite becoming Batman
But that was already the entire premise of the show. Introducing a rug only to pull it out from under a story that was all about how there was no need to have a rug is convoluted hackery, don't you think? It's even goofier when you remember how contingent Terry's relationship with Bruce was.

What's kind of fucked to me about this is that it feels like Timm pushed for this because he felt Bruce was going to die without a son.
But...Dick and Tim were his sons here.Even if Timm was stuck on the idea of Dick just being a ward/ brother figure, Tim is literally compared to being Bruce's son in an episode of TNBA.
As much as some people dislike the batfamily, I do like how it's come to be that the Robins at least are considered as Bruce's kids these days.

I see why people hate it, but having gone down multiple conspiracy rabbit holes it does seem likely that a government agency would want to create their own version of Batman. Im a big fan of Dave Mcgowan's books and his stuff about MK Ultra does kind of prove that organizations go out of their way to create killing machines through trauma and other means. It wouldnt be crazy to think that a white hat org would want to create a hero.
I think Bruce Timm is secretly redpilled. If you watch Justice league there are lots of arcs that would imply he was a fan of alex jones type content. Also his depiction of Barbara having her puss get wet over Bruce is realistic. What college girl wouldnt want a 10/10 billionaire?

Yes, when they put out one comic a year, and maybe a four issue mini every three or four years.

>And Disney and Microsoft is going through layoffs too dumbass, doesn't mean they'll be going down anytime soon.
Their stock isn't below half a dollar

The stock market is a stupid indicator of success run by machines who don't even know what they're doing it for. Why anyone cares about it I'll never know.

And I say this as someone with no love for IDW.

And that somehow makes them less of a laughingstock and having a black mark on their image? Stocks don't matter expect to a small number of people.

Not that anon, but stock having value means the company can print some money if they need it by selling more stock, or borrow against that value. A company with a stock worth $100 per share can easily find banks willing to invest. A company with stock worth 3 cents will have a hard time finding a creditor willing to take the risk. This is because the value of a stock is calculated by the profit the company makes and assets on hand. If the stock is 3 cents, the company probably is likely to go under soon since they aren't making much and don't have much left.

I don't believe Tom Waltz's Roninverse series can saved IDW.

The new Last Ronin issue just boring.

It felt like the whole purpose of this issue was just to clarify why Mikey had no pupils in the first series. He goes blind and lives with some villagers for a couple months, does a bunch of "Daredevil training" and then he gets tased, and poof, now he can see again.

Honestly, the blind thing could've been cool. But then Waltz undo it at the end. It's like he can't make up his minds. He always does same mistakes in the main books.

Flynn literally confirmed it

And Iizuka talked about having a more unified narritive for the franchise
https://www.cultureslate.com/explained/takashi-iizuka-wants-to-build-a-more-connected-sonic-universe-to-give-fans-a-unified-experience
If Sonic Prime gets to be canon despite its inconsistencies, IDW can, too.

I'll believe it when I see it. Don't talk about it but actually do it. As of now it's like Agents of SHIELD.

[User] Why cannot Ian Flynn get people to even give glance at his non-Sonic work?

[Assistant]
>>136923994
They literally only care about his Sonic work
They're not comic fans, they're fans of Sonic
It's like someone who only plays Madden or Fifa because they like the sport, their interest in the medium starts and ends there
And remember most IDW fans don't even buy the comic

Because he's a shit writer, taken in by a community of shit-eaters.
This is the face of a man that will remain forever mid because the people around him will never let him come to terms with the fact that he's an overhyped faggot.

They're doing more Last Ronin? And getting one of the IDW Turtles hacks to make it?
Kek, reminds me of when Marvel tried to make Old Man Logan an ongoing.

Nah, Sega fully owns the OCs this time, and IDW is already considered canon to mainline series. If they do start on a new book, though, I can see them doing a timeskip and starting from the aftermath of Frontiers

[Assistant]

>and IDW is already considered canon to mainline series
What, because Sonic mentions Tangle in Frontiers? That's a massive leap. Amy also mentions Sticks, but that doesn't mean all of Boom happened in the main universe somehow. It just means that the game universe also has its own Tangle and Sticks knocking about.

Yeah but it seems like there is some awareness from the community of that too.

I mean look how much excitement there was for Balan Wonder world before the demo released.
