Terry's little brother has dark hair too and the entire arc of the original show positions Bruce as a surrogate father. It was planned.

you can't be a surrogate father if you're the actual father!

He was a sperm donor! That's the whole point of Epilogue! Terry isn't a clone - he's better! He's a real person, not a man-shaped disaster full of hangups and repression and anger.

Lurdiak: Feb 26, 2006; I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.

I just don't see what it adds to the story other than to have Terry go "You're not my dad!" and Bruce go "Yeah I'm not" and Terry go "Ok."

Even if it was planned from day one, it's a lot of weird conspiracies, assumptions about biological essentialism, and coincidences to stack on top of what was already a very compelling character dynamic.

I feel like it's part of a trend you see sometimes, especially in big franchises, where they seem scared of having a new main character who isn't Someone Special. Basically it's not enough that your protagonist be someone willing to do what's right, they have to have some deeper, more important, more personal, and inevitably weirder connection to what's going on. I used to think that the old guard of 'classic characters' like Batman himself were immune to it, but you've started seeing more of that in recent years, too; the Arrowverse made a point of 'essentializing' Green Arrow and the Flash's backstories to tie them personally to the stories going on.

I've never felt like it was really necessary, but the way you see people respond to some protagonists that specifically aren't special shows that some people have either grown to expect it, or really need it to parse a story. Rey from the new Star Wars movies comes to mind, but I've seen other examples. My favorite is Vaan from Final Fantasy XII, because he's a Nobody Special protagonist of a game full of Someone Specials, and does well to show how that can work.

How do the Avengers (well, Sunspot's New Avengers) fight a goddamn Kaiju?

With a giant robot, of course.

I have read the Aronofsky Batman treatment and it sure does tick several of my boxes, but I sure do understand why it wasn't made, and I don't especially mourn it. It's essentially presenting Batman as a sadistic psychopath, and not in an uplifting way either. :v:

Yeah between that making Catwoman a prostitute and Mother! I'm pretty sure Aronofsky Has Opinions on women.

How about this,bruce gave away his money to rebuild the city and it actually worked? He faked his death and now slums it in rougher parts of town.
Sorry it’s a bit fan-fictiony.

Well yeah but if fixing Gotham ever worked then Batman is no longer necessary and if there's no Batman then DC isn't making money.

Isn't the current story that Gotham was even worse back in the day and Thomas and Martha's efforts are part of what make it merely a very bad place to live instead of being a raccoon city situation?

"Hey, I just realized my killing a kid's parents for you to try and recreate batman is like, the dumbest thing I've ever heard." alone was worth the price of admission for opening the clone can of worms.

I mean, there's an entire planet full of crazed supervillains. Though I can easily see it hurting sales figures to make a focus on Gotham city take up only a tiny fraction of his life, rather than vanishing every time there is a crossover event.
