achillesforever6 posted:I really enjoy the final fight and how Terry beats Joker by basically playing at his own game. Yeah, this bit is fantastic. Easily the second best scene of the whole film. The movie does a great job of using a classic Batman villain and still making Terry more than a side character. I'd say Bruce and Terry share the main lead spot very nicely.

muscles like this? posted:The thing that bugged me about Injusice's story was that they had this whole brand new alternate universe and decided to keep the stakes super low. I think in the entire game only one character dies on screen and another is announced as having died in the past. I also hated the ending they gave Superman for Battle Mode. Superman agrees to have a killswitch implanted in him should he ever decide to turn evil like his parallel universe counterpart. Stupid on so many levels.

I think Terry being a future greaser was a very deliberate stylistic choice with regards to the setting.

Pennypunch posted:To me, the Injustice storyline showcases everything I loathe about the superhero genre. Awfully handled angst, clunky story that only serves to cram in as many characters as possible, plotholes up the wazoo and OOC idiocy just to crank up the drama. I really tried to like it, but I just couldn't ignore all of the glaring issues. It also doesn't help that I didn't care for some of the VAs involved. At least Kevin Conroy did his job well as usual, but the script bogged him down for sure.

He's actually Tim Drake, the second Robin, who was captured and tortured by the original Joker. The thing Terry electrocutes at the end of the clip is a microchip he implanted that carried a copy of the Joker's personality.

Yeah it was totally a reference to Ace the bat hound but when they decided to do the Epilogue episode that was full of Beyond stuff and connected the whole DCAU they probably didn't accidentally choose to show a little girl called Ace dying and greatly affecting Batman. It was nice, I think that's my favourite part of the DCAU and what Waller says about Batman in that episode is also my favourite interpretation of him.

Now I love the justice league and justice league unlimited but goddamn I cannot get over how the Martian manhunter literally gets his rear end beat whenever on screen. Reading a mind? Jokes on you the person you're trying to find is a wizard or involved with one and now you're on the ground screaming! Going invisible? Too bad, the enemy has a device that electrocutes/harms you as soon as you're noticed! Going in for hand to hand? Nope. Get punched once and fly into the ground. Now I Know ever hero gets their rear end beat but it felt like j'onn ALWAYS got his rear end beat. Bad.

J'onn was the team punching bag for all of season one but got a sufficient power boost for season 2 where he actually did things that weren't going "AAAAA" and recoiling in pain. Then in JLU he took a cushy desk job because he was tired of getting the green poo poo kicked out of him.

Also I still think making Terry be Bruce's biological son was stupid and unnecessary.

I reckon they had everyone take a turn in the booth giving their best "I am in pain" scream and after Lumby did his, the writers just looked at each other and said "Well, guess we know who's gonna be doing this every episode".

I always thought it was interesting how they calibrated the Justice League cast to make them all on the same level. Batman had no powers, so he had to overcompensate for everything to make him look like he belonged. Classic Batman. Hawkgirl's powers was having wings, so they made it up to her by giving her a completely overpowered weapon that works on every problem that isn't Doomsday. Flash's speed was nerfed down to the effect that he was having trouble keeping up with a van full of stolen goods. Martian Manhunter was hilariously incompetent, always trying to use his mind-reading or phasing powers, only to go into a screaming fit. Superman was the resident punching bag, getting his rear end handed to him on a regular basis. Wonder Woman's powers were nullified by simply not having her on the show much of the time. That left Green Lantern as the one middle-ground guy. Hell, they practically swept the yellow weakness under the rug to keep it fair too. Also, what's this about some of you guys badmouthing the Injustice comic? Get out of here with that poo poo.

Michael Ansara (Kang from Star Trek and relevant to this thread B:TAS Mr Freeze) has died. I don't know about anyone else but he was pretty much the definitive Mr Freeze voice for me. His voice lent the character a gravitas that made any "cold" reference serious instead of the cheeky goofiness of other portrayals.

Batman Beyond had a really high deathcount for a kid's show. I think Terry kinda killed a guy in the first episode.
