… You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down
And you can't keep draggin' that dead weight around
If there ain't all that much to lug around
Better run like hell when you hit the ground
… When the morning comes
When the morning comes
… You can't stop these kids from dancin'
Why would you want to?
Especially when your already gettin' yours
'Cause if your mind don't move and your knees don't bend
Well don't go blamin' the kids again
… When the morning comes
When the morning comes

Funny enough, Terry never wore the Robin suit, but he did eventually wind up trying on the domino mask.
Missed opportunity tbh, I love that episode but Terry looked to be about the same build as Nightwing. So I wish he did put on the suit.
It Wasn’t The Robin Mask, It Was Nightwing’s.
@@abelvegajr.7001That dude would rather tear off his arm than wear the Robin costume
Oh no, not another DCAU video that's gonna make me cry. (never stop making these)
Lol that's exactly how I feel. Always hard to stop the tears from building up.
Well i dunno. Cos If anyone deserves to make us all cry over Marvel shows...
Well; bromance cartoon philosophy, has a very good captain at the helm. DC and marvel. They are kina like family. Ish. Amalgamated...
"I made you some soup. Its cold now."
(Alfred in the afterlife probably with the largest side-eye)
Yeah, at least he tried.
The way Kevin Conroy says welcome to my world will always go hard.
YEEEEEEEEEEEES.
That was a good line.
Out of everyone around Bruce, Terry was the only one who wanted and needed Bruce more than Batman.
Andrea thought she wanted and needed Bruce but in the end she needed Batman instead.
Lois thought she needed and wanted Bruce but that version of him wasn't real and she let him go.
Alfred deeply wanted just Bruce but accepted Batman.
Terry on the other hand got the real Bruce and came to treasure that in its own way.
My coworker told me about job programs in Europe (maybe Vienna) where they have homeless young adults take care of lonely elderly people. They found that the employment not only helped the youth but it made the elderly have a more enriching life and allowed them to be happier and live longer.
I bring it up because Terry and Bruce's relationship shows the positive effects of intergenerational relationships. Terry is Bruce's reconnection with the people of Gotham and it enriches both of their lives.
You know ? That sounds like a good idea. Maybe we should have something like that in the u.s. It sounds like it would be helpful
@@seeleunit2000 it is! Too bad politicians hate the young, old, and homeless lol
Bruce regained some of his humanity when Terry joined him. Terry got a mentor who won’t put up with his crap. This dynamic made the series for me.
Bruce Wayne died when Batman was born. By passing the mantle to Terry Bruce lives again. You can clearly see he's more happy, being more involved with the company/healing his parent's legacy & most importantly he econnect with his love ones(Tim, Barbara,...) that he once chased out of his life
To me when Terry is wearing the bat suit he shows that Batman doesn't have to be afraid of being human who doesn't have to be cold to do the job
"STOP LAUGHING AT MY JOKES!" "Why? I thought you always wanted to make the Batman laugh."
I honestly glad to see their dynamic. Bruce was so put off of having another person to watch over after what happened to Tim, that he couldn't see the potential in Terry.
Terry is able to show Bruce things that he couldn't see before and Bruce is a great mentor for Terry while also giving him structure in his life.
I honestly wish we got to see more of these two and have more adaptions of them. R.I.P. Kevin Conroy.
I really like the monologue Bruce has at the beginning of the recent Batman Beyond comic.
Bruce says that Terry took the symbol of fear an vengeance that eventually consumed him and became something more, something....beyond.

"Looking at his former lovers with an accidental picture of barbara"
💯💯💯
He dated Barbra
@@sabbathjackalnaw
Bro being distant, distrustful, and wanting to live far away from people is currently how i feel at the age of 33. I am prepaired.
I have to say their relationship is also so well written and meaningful that well... the final plot twist that biologically speaking Terry is Bruce's son... it matters so little I don't actually care.
Terry's DNA just feels so meaningless because their actual bond as people is already so great, and how strong they are as separate individual characters.
We know they rescued each other, both physically and spiritually, we know they helped each other grow in new ways. We know that Bruce needed Terry to find his way again, and Terry actually needed Bruce to find HIS way. They clash, but their clashes always lead to growth for the both of them, and you know they really care a lot about each other.
Bruce IS like a father to Terry, filling in the gap left behind when Terry's real father died.
Terry IS like a son to Bruce, filling the gap left from all those who left Bruce behind or rather... Bruce left all of them behind. But Terry is the kind of person who doesn't take no for an answer, he is legitimately so stubborn he is not letting Bruce leave him behind so yeah... They are two broken people, in desperate need of what the other had to give and it just works so well.
i agree, i hate how media always needs to fall so hard on the "destiny of the chosen one" crap instead of just leaving some things entirely up to chance (yes i know it's fictional and nothing is chance either, but you know what i mean)
@@MrYac-ie8ie
Yeah the chosen one story telling only work if there's a real drawback to it.
Like in Harry Potter. Harry is actually a very shy introvert, so him being the actual chosen and he gets so much attention he never asked for really sucks for him.
And of course it's how he ended up as an orphan in the first place... and then of course it turns out Harry was just one out of two potentially chosen ones, and the other one, Nevielle, had an even WORSE life, and would have been even worse at handling that kind of laser-focused attention.
And often it is kind of nicer when the main character is just a normal person, who either is very driven so they make something of themselves, or is in a situation where they HAVE to take action to survive and... Terry is actually both, so that's great.
He is very driven and independent, like I said Bruce is the one who tend to leave everybody behind. And Terry is the kind of ridiculously stubborn person that just won't go away!
That's another point too, Terry ALWAYS had the option of leaving. Bruce would never have stopped him from leaving, he'll probably even encourage it, but Terry is the driving force of his own destiny and just refuses, which is nice. I like that.
no one talked him into becoming Batman, or stay when things are hard, no HE wanted it, and HE took it. And faces a lot of bad consequences for it but... the kid is stubborn, he knows what he has to do. For the sake of helping others too.
THAT'S something Amanda Waller pointed out I liked... Terry doesn't have Bruce's genius, but he has his heart, and that's what matters here.
@@MoonPhantom It's a bit funny. The ending plot twist was designed exactly to be subversive and anticlimactic. Where the big message of it was, that it didn't really matter. This show was really on another level.
I disagree. Terry being Bruce's kid ruins the whole batman is "just a guy" aspect of him. Because now it's not just a guy. It has to be a Wayne.
@@sabbathjackal ... Of course Batman is not just a guy, where did you get that dumb idea?
Batman is extremely exceptional, he's exceptional in his skills, his intelligence, his empathy... Not everyone can just be Batman that's really dumb.
And what makes Terry great as a character is... He is Batman. He's exceptional too. But on his own terms obviously making him a very different kind of Batman than Bruce, which was especially cemented in the Joker movie.
And because it's so cemented already, the DNA really doesn't matter at all... Whether it was true or not. Terry is his own person and such a strong character who's so different from Bruce yet exceptional in his own right that DNA becomes inconsequential.
Also since we have clearly seen it is Terry's personal EXPERIENCES that shaped him into the Batman he finally became with "Return of the Joker."
I seriously respect the DCAU for going the dark and depressing route for Batman's future. Because this is the most realistic ending for the character, he'd keep fighting this never ending battle until it either killed him or he became too old to keep fighting, leaving him with nothing because he pushed everyone away in favor of the mission.
Bruce and Terry were just amazing together.
Batman Beyond is an underrated gem of a show that thoroughly explores the realities that even a god among men like Bruce would inevitably experience as someone who has lived through so much but allowed himself to have so little in life due to his constant war against the darkness. For as strong as Bruce is, he is still just a broken man who slowly stepped back into the light. As he seizes more control over his family's company away from Derek Powers and his ilk, he steps more away from his need to be Batman and how the mantle of the Dark Knight has defined him. As Batman becomes more and more Terry's role, Bruce, in a way, can resume his own life that was taken from him as a child. Terry is an overall happier Batman by the end of the series than Bruce ever was. Bruce has allowed someone else to take over that role that he carved out into the world as a symbol of justice in an uncaring world, and so has become Bruce Wayne again in full. With a proper successor and son in more than just blood, Bruce can finally have what he's always needed: a family all his own that gets and fully understands him. The story of Batman Beyond is the one true conclusion that solves the problem of Bruce Wayne's mortality and legacy: to live as a man and age as a man, and when his time comes, to die with dignity, with a son he loves taking up the mantle, and that son being a happier Batman. Thus, he'll be leaving the world a brighter place thanks to Terry, the son who brought light back to a dark and weary soul.
As if Talia doesn’t pee in whatever way she pleases.
You know what he was talking about.
The Would-Be and the Has-Been
That dynamic alone is what I feel is what makes this show is great as it is.
It kind of bothers me that the show had that weird situation where Bruce is technically Terry’s dad. It really didn’t need that and it kind of undercuts the idea that anyone can be Batman with the right mentors and work ethic.
To me though it sorta meant nothing. That was more of an emotional violation in my head. I interpret that as Terry being more mad he thought Bruce took the choice to be Batman out of his hands before he was even born. Even if Terry has half of Bruce's DNA it wouldnt matter. Nothing about being Batman comes from his genes except maybe intelligence. Everything Batman is was learned from other people. I once even heard Batman developed a photographic memory through practice.
Personally, I thought that was more Waller's machinations then a declaration from the writers that only the next of kin can be Batman.
That quote at the beginning. I feel this, not as an old man, but as a young man who lives with friends. I might need to rewatch batman.
Batman beyond greatness
Best batman adaptation
Terry didn't just make Batman live again, he helped Bruce live again. Love their relationship and Batman Beyond so much!
God your vids always make me tear up. Good work!
I've always loved their parallel growth as two ppl who had given up on themselves at the start of the show, but through trust and a new chance in life learn that it's not too late for either of them. A really well rounded arc that let's sees both grow bc of meeting each other ✨
This hit hard for me. I recently turned 50, mother passed a few years ago, trying to help my father as best I can, having a hard time making friends, family (already distant) moving further away. I can feel the depression and negativity seeping in as I question my own self-worth as a person. Doesn't help my job sucks and I don't feel appreciated there. If I didn't have my cat, I don't know what I'd do.
Oh yes, earth 508. We’re back at that universe again.
Fun fact! The DCAU is not Earth 508, despite Mxy saying such in MAWS. Earth 508 is actually the universe of the FisherPrice Super Friends
@@MJ-zl3vo no that’s earth 50 Super friends universe
@IamLegendaryguy1998
That's a different thing. I'm talking about the Fisher-Price toy line version of the Super Friends which is officially named Earth 508.
Fun Fact! The Superfriends Earth 50 you're thinking of was actually renumbered recently. It's currently numbered as Earth 1956. Currently Earth 50 is home to the Justice Lords
@@MJ-zl3vo i like the way we used to designate continuities in transformers, in universe. we get a word that tells us the major continuity family, the date of first publication, and a greek letter designating the kind of media.
for example "primax 984.17 alpha" is the G1 cartoon, while "Tyran 707.04 delta" are the michael bay movies.
I am blowing my brains out before i get old damn that intro bummed me out. I'm already isolated every day.
Rest in Peace, Comichistorian
I’m in a real weird boat with Batman Beyond and the character of Terry McGinnis, because I’ve never watched a single full episode of the show, or the Return of The Joker movie, I’ve only read Sean Gordon Murphy’s ‘White Knight’ version of the events- but I still know a decent bit from the original animated series just from UA-cam and years of being a DC nerd, and it’s given me a deep appreciation for Terry as a character. As someone who doesn’t think that any of the Robins should ever be Batman (Dick and Jason would never accept it unless it’s the FINAL resort, Tim wouldn’t take the mantle because he’d feel there’s too much to live up to, and while Damian would start out with the perfect intentions and methods, I feel he’d crack under pressure over time), there’s Terry- someone cut from very familiar, Robin-coloured cloths- a spunky, no-nonsense street kid who refuses to stand by when he can act instead. He created a unique and refreshing dynamic with Bruce, and It’s nice to see that no matter how much DC tries to sweep a legacy like that under the rug, we won’t ever let them.
I want you to know I paused shadow of the Erdtree to watch this.
Wow, that's dedication right there
Out of all the "20xx" type series were someone picks up the mantle of a former hero Batman Beyond was stellar. It in no way was rehashed bull. Great story telling that really held the spirit of the original series. I still think about Kevin's death, me and my siblings could never miss a new episode, that was almost 20 years ago or more.
Thank you for this video!
God this will always be my favorite batman series ever
god i love your videos so much
Love you, Leo.
Seriously love Batman Beyond (Or Batman of Tomorrow for the Brits)so seeing your videos show love for the series is such a joy.
Old Bruce and Terry was a different dynamic. Wished Dick Grayson never appeared “Batman Beyond” series or had a Dick and Terry interaction (aside from that digital comic series the one where old & lonely Dick mentor Terry for a while).
This too shall pass - Ok Go
Back here to watch another banger
as good an ending this show was i still feel jlu retconned it with the time travel episode, young bats seeing what he would become, i think he chose to keep his family more close, and died much happier. like a ebenezer scrooge type thing almost
That's a way of looking at it but I don't think the episode "retconned" anything. I mean, young Bruce saw a glimpse of his future that already partnered up with Terry.
He doesn't know what happened and how to avoid the kind of loneliness his crusade against crime brought him into retirement before being a mentor to Terry for a good amount of years at this point. Especially since it's an episode with a world-ending villain on the loose. Both Bruces don't have time to talk about what to do and not to do for a better future.
TL;DR, Bruce saw the result and not the full picture because circumstances.
@@CyberNinja96 you forget the bat's true power: plot armor doesn't matter that old Bruce didn't tell young Bruce he'd figure it out lol
@Hershman545 When? When it's already too late? Like when:
- he got kidnapped multiple times?
- he eventually figures out the villain of the week's plot?
- he had his falling out with Dick?
- it took two weeks to find Tim through hunting down criminal connections to the Joker?
- he couldn't keep his dick in his pants with Barbra?
- he figured out Booster Gold is a genuine hero with a bigger responsibility than the Justice League but acts like a shill to protect himself, and his loved ones, and keep balance in the timeline so things go how they're supposed to but things had to be reset to the status quo?
- in the future, he finally notices Derek Powers is a pos but doesn't have much say because he is well on his out of his own company and it needs to be run by somebody younger and more with the times in Neo Gotham.
Okay... I'll remember this is BTAS to JLU Batman and not comics. The guy who struggles to solve cases when going off of a few pieces of information, much less none, and can't tell things off at a glance.
@@Hershman545 Sure. I'll just remember this is BTAS to JLU Batman and not comics.
One is shown getting screwed over for going off of bits of information, much less none and the other can figure things out at a glance (kinda).
Also: My old comment got deleted by YT, probably for saying 🍆 out loud twice when I was talking about Barbara and Grayson, because Bruce Timm, where I was going over the times Batman didn't have enough information and it did him no favors, lol.
Late Happy Father's Day? LOVE UR VIDS SOO MUCH!
I absolutely love the relationship between Bruce and Terry. It gives me life. I think on some level Bruce lost faith in himself, in his cause, his mission, his choices, and the world as a whole. He retired as Batman, but instead of being relieved to be freed from that burden or excited to focus on other ventures like running his company or something, he just sat alone in silence with a scowl on his face, rotting away in his empty mansion, with nothing to live for, no passion, no love in his old, black heart.
Maybe to some degree the role of Batman has always been a construct, a character, an elaborate act for the benefit of the public, but Bruce himself could never escape his imposter syndrome. Deep down he could never shake the idea that the man, Bruce Wayne, was ordinary, unworthy of the legacy he meticulously crafted around Batman. Eventually, he even lost faith in the ideal itself, the energy and ambition which propelled him to set out on his quest in the first place having long since withered away.
Terry saved Bruce, because Terry believed in Batman, and by extension in Bruce, more than Bruce believed in himself. Terry has a simple, pure, and unambiguous view of the world: there are heroes and villains, good and evil. Batman is a hero, the ultimate hero, and as far as he's concerned that's all there is to it. Terry's only teenage frustration towards Bruce was at how he changed. To Terry, nothing had changed. Terry's dad was murdered just like Bruce's parents. Gotham is still in trouble, the villains are still out there, up to no good, and the city still needs Batman.
Terry cuts through all of Bruce's regrets, all the legal and moral shades of gray surrounding his actions over the years. Terry's message is crystal clear: you were right to become Batman. It was the right thing to do. You're a hero. With that message comes a challenge: why did you retire? Why did Batman retire? The world still needs Batman. If you won't do it, I will.
Is Terry right? Perhaps he's just a naive, foolish teenager. What does he know? And yet, he has faith in Batman, the faith that Bruce once had, the faith he lost. It rekindled something in his heart. He remembered why he did this in the first place. Batman isn't dead. He lives on in Terry, but Terry is an undisciplined, angsty delinquent with no combat skills or resources. He can't live up to the legend, not without Bruce's help and guidance.
Bruce is still needed. His body may be weak, but his years of experience, wisdom, and wealth are essential to Terry's success. Who is Batman? Terry or Bruce? In truth, neither man can do it alone, they need each other, they are two sides of the same coin, Bruce's old mind and Terry's young body. TOGETHER they are Batman.
Oh no, I'm an old man mentally
Loved their relationship but I'm still mad about the genetic plot twist
Great, you went ahead and convinced me to have a kid.
i love your videos but i have a special place in my heart for the batman ones 🖤
Love the Batman Beyond content!!!
I love their relationship so much and I wish we had more BB content.
its one of the best in tv history
You know I feel like this video would have been better uploaded on Father’s Day but still great video
Imagine pitching a show like Batman beyond now. "Hey you like Batman, right? Well in this version he's old and decrepit now and can't do any of those cool things anymore. Instead the Batman of this show is a cool, snarky high school kid." Batman fans would riot over hearing that summery. But no, it's actually a fantastic show.
I don't think batman fans would be angry over Bruce being old and decrepit, or having a replacement who's younger, what they'll get mad about is if the replacement isn't Dick grayson or Terry.
Ironically, the show was conceived because the network wanted a "teenage Batman" show to appeal to a younger audience. They probably wanted the Batman version of the Young Indiana Jones franchise ... but they got Batman Beyond.
Ok, you have a really good taste in music. Can you post your the songs you use in your videos. Thanks. Always enjoy your videos
OSP did their own video that touched on this too. Very good watch.

The only successor to the cowl I’ll ever accept.
Terry McGinnis is the best thing that has ever happend to Bruce Wayne. By the time of Batman Beyond, Bruce is alone in a big empty house due to thanks to the trauma from his final battle with the Joker, which has caused him to alienate both his friends and the Bat-Family. He kept fighting the good fight as Batman in Gotham for several decades onward, until his body couldn't handle it and he was nearly forced to shoot a criminal to death in order to defend himself. With his hard realization his forced to hang up his cowl and loses his company to a corrupt businessman, leaving him with nothing, but his own shame in his regrets and failing body in what is better described as a haunted house than a mansion. Decades go by and he meets Terry, a young punk with a heart of gold who Bruce meets by chance and is struck with a similar tragedy to Bruce's own, causing him to steal Bruce's final suit in order to avenge his father's death. Though intially angry at this, Bruce comes to empathize with Terry and after seeing the boy's potential offers him the chance to be the new Batman with the former as his guy in the chair, which the latter accepts. As time goes by Bruce comes to not only care for Terry like a father and feel a quiet pride as the latter grows as the new batman, but through him allows him to mend the bridges he burnt long ago as well as regaining his beloved company and putting it to good use. Then the Joker returns, and despite Bruce's fears of Terry ending up like Tim Drake, the new Batman not only rises to the challenge in facing the Clown Prince of Crime, but defeats him once and for all in a manner that Bruce could never has thought of, much less execute. Upon the Joker's final defeat, Bruce admits the pride he has to Terry for being Batman and has him continue to be Batman as Bruce slowly retires from crime fighting in the following decades. By the end of end of Bruce's life he has finally achieved his happy ending: Wayne Enterprises is back in his control and being use to help the people of Gotham; the role of Batman has been passed on to Terry who is continuing to help the city and world; Bruce has reunited with his old friends and Bat-Family and is enjoying his retirement as Batman; and Bruce has found a son in Terry, both metaphorically and litterally, who is planning marry Diana and have a family of their own, meaning Bruce will get to meet his own grandchildren.
Seeing the title of this one somehow reminded me of the interview for the cast of CW's Gotham Knights where all the ladies say, 'Daddy issues!'
Oh hey its like when I became disabled, feeling so passive
We all saw you change to title you can't hide it from us
This episode makes me want to see your thoughts on the importance of Ace.
Terry’s girlfriend might like him in the original Robin suit.
I'm going to hate being old?
I still refuse to believe the JLAU Batman became who we see in Batman Beyond. I also highly reject the idea Bruce hooked up with Barbara and pushed away everyone like they show in Beyond.
A superstitious cowardly lot! They plan and plot but they always get caught! - still a banger, give us a full Batman the musical pls DC
It’s neat that they him made a Bruce’s artificial son, but OG bats being the hard ass grandpa type character is better. (also more fitting with the bat kids gone and old enough for grandkids.)
Batman Beyond needs a come back
I hope in the DCU they make Batman use the beyond batsuit, the hellbat suit, etc
To me Terry is the perfect successor to take on the legacy of the Batman, unlike dick , Tim or Damian they want to escape from Bruce’s shadow and become there own persons but Terry wants to become Batman to make up for his past mistakes and show Gotham that batman is not just in the past but is needed now more than ever .
Bruce is better than us all
Archcriminals I know how to handle, mothers are something else.
I think many a man feels this way.
I love Batman 🥹
I Love Batman beyond
Batman Beyond is the GOAT.
early af
This video was totally schway!
Bruce loved Terry but gave fuck all about his little brother who was technically his biological son too
First time I ever posted on a just released video lol
: )
Now imagine if Helena Wayne was in Batman Beyond and I never like the reveal in Epilogue.
Wondering when he came back to Batman beyond
3:51 it happened! You can’t escape it! DCAU Babs and Bruce happened. And what’s worse? It made narrative sense. Doesn’t make it right, but it wasn’t unbelievable in the slightest.
Did you change the title and thumbnail?
First!
sadly my friend i think you were fourth
What was the song 6 mins in?
imma be real, you're a jerk for that ace edit
man listening to you make me little bit of mature i guess i don't know how but it do................
can i get a like (outro is immature hehe lol)
Terry > Damian Wayne 🤢
