Hey everyone, it's Renash30 and today I have gone through the evolution of batman beyond
in all of his appearances in the dc animated universe, so, to find out how this Batman has
changed throughout the decades, allow me to fill in the blanks and let's get started.
Number 1, Batman Beyond We start off with the classic which nobody wanted,
but nonetheless became a success as one of the best batman shows ever. Anyways, staying in the
dcau continuity and about 20 years after the new batman adventures, we find Batman with a
new black and red suit. Despite being older, he continues to fight crime, but when he suffers
a minor heart attack and becomes desperate enough to threaten a thug with a gun, he decides to never
be batman again. Now 20 years later, we meet Terry Mcginnis, who after meeting bruce wayne,
accidentally discovers the coolest place ever, the batcave. When his father's investigation
into Wayne-Powers cost him his life, like Bruce when his parents died, Terry took matters into
his own hands and became batman. After making his father's killer pay, Bruce realizes that
Gotham needs Batman and asks terry to take up the mantle. Terry then has unique adventures,
makes new allies, but also makes new enemies like inque, shriek and blight. We see throughout the
series, that like any teenage superhero, terry has trouble balancing his costumed life, with his love
life and his responsibilities, but despite this conflict, he's still able to protect Neo-Gotham.
Where do you think you're going to Vance's lab to stop him oh i
look what the suit did to that wall you think you can go up against that
sometimes I ask myself is batman just the suit or is the man inside time to find out
Number 2, Batman Beyond Return of the Joker About 2 years after being batman, we find
Terry trying to stop a new gang of jokerz, though after losing them, he and bruce attend a party,
where Bruce retakes ownership of his company. The jokerz then attack, and the joker returns
with a grand appearance, but following their escape, Bruce doesn't want terry to confront
him and asks for the batsuit. Terry disagrees, as he wants to be batman and atone for past sins,
though after an argument forces him to return the suit, he discovers that the joker attacked bruce.
Feeling like he deserves answers, barbara reveals the horrifying story where he kidnapped robin,
turned him into joker jr and in the end was killed by him. When Terry later looks for tim drake,
he and bruce discover his transformation into the joker, caused by an implanted microchip,
though after a battle with him, terry shorts out the chip and saves tim from an explosion.
what are you doing fighting dirty the real batman would never told you you didn't know me
funny guy can't say the same for you. Impudent brat, do you know who you're dealing with.
Not a comedian I'll tell you that
Number 3, The Zeta Project -In the spin-off series, taking
place after meeting zeta for the second time, infiltration unit 7 continues searching for Zeta
and tracks him to a mall in Gotham City. When it begins attacking, Zeta and his friend Ro are able
to trap him, but back in the batcave after hearing the report, Bruce and terry see zeta in the mall's
security footage and think he's responsible for the chaos. Terry then becomes angry with himself
for trusting he wouldn't harm anyone and tracks him to a hospital, where he attacks him but learns
zeta isn't responsible. After discovering that the infiltration unit impersonated him, he helps
Zeta defeat him, apologizes for not giving him the benefit of the doubt and then leaves
zeta you are out of options
no then how about the daily special
Number 4, Static Shock After the new batman adventures,
we find static in the Batcave helping batman study a criminal's time machine,
but when static gets caught in its field, he's pulled into the machine and sent 40 years into
the future. Static then discovers a new batcave, where terry arrives and engages him in a fight,
though bruce reveals he's static, terry acts surprised as his static is 40 years older.
Since bruce has been expecting his arrival, he asks him to help find his future self, as he's
been captured by Kobra. Batman then partners with static, as the justice league and gear are busy,
and later goes undercover to get into Kobra. When they later find their platform, they break in,
fight their army and help set free the future static.
batman's not gonna be happy when he hears how you've been treating his guest
first we don't have guests here and second i'm batman getting sloppy
sloppy huh
Number 5, Justice League Unlimited When Batman, wonder woman and green lantern follow
Chronos into his time portal, again, they arrive in an alternate future. Terry and the remaining
members of the justice league then arrive, as enhanced jokerz are waiting to ambush them.
After realizing they're outmatched, they escape to Terry's old high school,
or the current justice league headquarters where we see old bruce wayne meeting batman,
which rarely happens. They then begin looking for Chronos, as he's damaging the space-time
continuum, but when they find him, a time shift occurs, where soldiers appear and begin
shooting Terry. The dee dee clones then grab him and electrocute him to death,
but after Batman reprograms Chronos' time belt, the timeline is restored to equilibrium.
this is all we have left now deal with it
surprised to see me a little i'm more surprised that i lived so long batman bruce
wayne bruce wayne batman or have you met not now great what did they used to call it stereo
In another episode, the plot serves as a conclusion to the batman beyond the storyline.
We find terry breaking into amanda waller's home to find some answers, as he reveals that
after checking his dna, he discovered he was Bruce's son. Angry at Bruce for believing he
needed a successor, Amanda reveals the truth, that she's responsible for overriding his DNA
as she realized that the world will always need a batman. Still thinking that being
batman is a curse, Amanda convinces terry that he's not bruce's clone,
but his son and if wants a better life than his, he should take care of the people who love him.
kent called nothing apocalyptic he just wants your opinion on the case he's working
said you could meet him at the metro tower right better suit up you should eat something first keep
up your strength when i get back you're a stubborn piece of work you know that just like my old man
Number 6, Batman The Brave and the Bold When batman gets seriously injured, aquaman,
shazam, green arrow and plastic man decide to become batman and protect gotham. While stopping
crimes and defeating supervillains, the joker attacks and manages to subdue all the batman
impostors, though the real batman later arrives and takes down the joker. After a wormhole opens,
and batmen from across the multiverse arrive to help, batman agrees that they can join his patrol,
and we then see terry's batman making a 3-second cameo in the top right corner
Would have been here sooner but wormhole's a tricky business.
Okay but just for tonight
Number 7, Darwyn Cooke's Batman 75th anniversary short
As batman has created a legacy and franchise spanning over 80 years, back in 2014,
Darwyn Cooke created a short of Batman Beyond, to celebrate 75 years of the dark knight.
We find terry arriving in the Batcave as he discovers that Bruce has been injured
and Batman has attacked him. Batman, with his new adventures, look, then battles terry,
but after Terry discovers its an android, which I'm guessing is a reference to Hardac's androids
from the animated series, its gets blown up and incinerated. As Bruce takes his utility belt,
he and terry discover additional androids, of batman through the decades.
Who sent that thing. It didn't say. Whoever it was, they didn't stop at one.
Seven against two pretty, bad odds, for them.
And that's the end of Batman Beyond's evolution in the dc animated universe. Now if you enjoyed
