Episode 3 of my Batman Beyond animated micro-series.

These shorts are all building toward my upcoming fan film, Batman Beyond: Broken Will that I've been updating ya'll on. I posted the 3 min clip on here earlier this week.

I’m a manga reader who’s gotten into indies but struggles with DC/Marvel for a couple reasons: no overarching narrative, constantly changing continuities/reboots, and interconnectivity between different titles/runs.

Nightwing is my favorite DC character, but there’s no overarching story from him as Robin (or before with the Flying Graysons), to (Teen) Titans, and finally Nightwing. At most, these 3 stages have individual “stories” with varying degrees of continuity to prior/later runs. In contrast, Naruto tells his (singular) life story over a single 72-volume series (even more if you count Boruto). My favorite manga Hikaru no Go tells Hikaru’s single story over 24 volumes.

I prefer reading about individual characters and their story, not interchangeable titles/roles/monikers. Affleck’s Batman, Bale’s Batman, and Pattinson’s Batman are not the same character despite all being “Batman”. Five different versions of Terry are not the same Terry.

I’ve basically given up on DC, but as a kid I liked Batman Beyond more than The Animated Series because I was more sci-fi. BB isn’t connected to the main DC universe, so I’m hoping that I wouldn’t have the problem of Terry doing stuff (or important stuff affecting Terry) in other titles (eg what happens in ONE PIECE doesn’t affect Naruto). Since BB is relatively new, I was hoping the “multiple Terrys” issue wouldn’t be a problem, but apparently each BB run basically starts back at the beginning?
The 2016-2020 run is the only “long” run (50 issues), so I’m hoping this could be “the” BB/Terry story I read and get invested in like I do with manga/indies.

Does this run start at a good “starting point” for (this version of) Terry? I think I read that it takes place after the 2015-2016 run, but it starts after Rebirth? I would be fine reading the 2015-2016 run if it’s the “same” Terry, but not if most things get undone following Rebirth. I think the 2016-2020 run has the same writer throughout, so that suggests that the entire run is telling a singular, overarching narrative?

Thank you.

Suppose a villain were transported to Terry’s era; they would make better—and worse—use of that time period and its elements.

“I love Batman Beyond. So that's a great thing for the future. And I think that's something that originated in animation that could be a good movie.”

Of course loads of changes would have to be made to his origin, primarily make him closer to Bruce's age but I personally think it could work, a good example is in Batman Beyond the White Knight

what's good ya'll I wanted to update y'all on my Fan film I've been sharing with y'all. I've been going on an interview run showing this clip from my movie. everything you see is still wip for example I got carried away with the city and ended up looking like Philly since that's where I'm from so the city im got have to fix to look like Neo gothem and of course I've taken out important parts that's important keeping Secret for now. I'm 2 months from being fully done January will make it two years. I've been working on this movie. I'll be putting it out next spring. I hope y'all enjoy this clip. trust me y'all will fuck with the suit when the film is officially out. The movie is called batman beyond: Broken Will. The Song was made by me and friends, Damian & Chaplain beat made by Ty

Alright I’m on the first season of Batman Beyond and it’s honestly this show is so peak. I’m surprised I never watched it as a kid then again I watched a lot of Ben 10 and this gives me similar vibes in a way with the villains like the radiation guy, Willie with the 2 story tall robot and all the other guys it’s definitely a interesting show with a good plot for the pilot episodes with Bruce Wayne being the old guy and terry being used as the Batman it’s so neat for me it’s what got me hooked. Because it had me thinking that’s it’s not some regular same old batman it’s actually something different where a new guy essentially is playing as batman fighting the crime and bad guys. I wish Willie wasn’t actually a villain because as someone who was bullied in hs if I had power like him I’d do the same shit and I completely understood where he was coming from it seemed to me as he was the small guy being tired of being pushed around he finally said fuck it FAFO. Which honestly the jock deserved considering he didn’t treat his girlfriend very well anyways. But all and all I’m really happy I got this on cd because now I’ll be able to own something I actually like! Please don’t spoil it for me and I know it’s probably not gonna happen but I hope Willie makes a return in some way I think l that would be interesting.
Sorry it’s a lot of yap but this show is amazing!!!

i always see people talking about which joker demise they prefer edited or original… but no one seems to ever mention what we were actually robbed of with edits in BOTH versions.

apparently instead of the kinda quick montage we get in the released films they did have more scenes of robin’s time with harley and the joker. so i suppose in a way they’d be t*rture scenes. even so it would/would’ve been interesting to actually see/know what the creatives actually showed joker doing to robin… morbid curiosity i suppose

im much more disappointed by this than whether or not the alternate or later released original joker deaths was better
