Why was Beyond so good?

Because it's actually a Spiderman show.

Also, Terry is REALLY bad at his job.

>>83697069
Because they took every opportunity to fuck with the executives.

>Sure, scoffs Timm, but it won't be Bruce

>We think this was too violent. Change it
>Sure, scoffs Dini, we'll just make it traumatizing instead

because it was the perfect twist on the original formula -- essentially robin training to be batman with bruce as his coach in a techno-future.

the only thing i regretted is that he never quite had a joker-equivalent. blight was his main personal villain, but there wasn't a hyper-competent rogue that just lived to fuck with terry

it should have been ten

I mean, they were his opposition in the very first issue of ASM.

It wasn't perfect or amazing, but after the end of BTAS and STAS, kids wanted something more. Kevin Conroy returning as old Bruce kind of sealed the deal in terms of being the official successor to original cartoon. You can still see some of that "EXTREME" 90's gloss that was on everything at the time, but it honestly turned out OK for what it was.

Return of the Joker and the epilogue of JLU were decent tie-ins to BTAS as well.

I still sneak the word schway into regular conversation. I'm gonna make it stick eventually

Seeing the Blade Runner esque dystopian future of Gotham was pretty neat

>>83698820

Inspiration more than ripoffs.

Inspiration, is clearly there - Inque was clearly inspired by Venom and Sandman, Spellbinder is inspired by Mysterio, Falseface was inspired by Chameleon, Derek Powers is inspired by Kingpin (Green Goblin? really?), Terrapin is the Rhino, Repeller by Electro, Payback by Punisher, Willie Watts and Golem by Doctor Octopus, and Shriek by Shocker and, well, Shriek - but they all take general concepts of those characters, and take them in completely different and creative directions.

People draw inspirations from other sources all the time, so when trying to make a teenage hero, Spider-Man seemed the obvious choice - so they decide to skip the boring exploration and simply decided that Spider-Man already did that, so they can borrow their homework, so to speak.

>>83702528
>Derek Powers is inspired by Kingpin (Green Goblin? really?)
I generally agree with you except for here. Wasn't the dude a captain of industry who was turned twisted/given powers by some science bullshit? It's been awhile so maybe I'm remembering wrong. But that sounds more Osborne than kingpin inspired (although the first episode he was in he might have been more kingpinny)

>>83697731
>the Joker will get shot
This is misleading. It implies he was shot with bullets, which is a no-no. No, he was simply shot with a steel rod. Not an arrow either mind you, pointy things are bad. It's a blunt steel rod.

>>83697069

Because its set between Dark Knight Returns and Akira.

>BB thread
>no one posted that bad endings chart yet
I'm surprised.

Also, Terry is my favorite Batman.

Why do people keep saying this show was popular cos it was like Spiderman. How the fuck is it like Spiderman?
Did Spiderman ever have a future version of himself where someone else takes up the moniker in a sci fi city with a black and red costume that's high tech and let's them glide around and shit.....uh no

Still had that 80s dystopia cyber punk with asian elements, flavor.

>>83702528
except at the same time, you can cite Batman rogues that also inspire these
Inque is really more Clayface than Venom. being black goo doesn't change that her fighting style is more akin to "clayface but fast." Spellbinder is a modern Mad Hatter, etc etc

basically comic books are one big incestuous gangbang in terms of inspiration. The only people who ever actually created new ideas were Jack Kirby and Bill Finger.

I'm not even sure why he's there, considering he started out as an Iron Man (of all people) villain before becoming more commonly associated with Ghost Rider.

>>83702528
Falseface was in the Adam West show you uncultured swine.

>>83702997
Derek Powers was the main mastermind villain, causing events of multiple episodes, long before he turned into Blight. In season 1, he is pretty consistently Kingpin-styled, and his appaerances as Blight are rare until the finale, where he functionally dies. He also

So maybe he was inspired by GG to a degree, I will give you that. Remember, those are inspirations, not clones, some characters seem to have multiple inspirations - Shriek has name and sonic theme of Shriek, but using man-made weapons and a suit fits Shocker better, and Splicers seems to be simply a loose allusion to similarity between The Lizard and Man-Bat - and Inque visually looks like Venome symbiote, while sharing powers and weakness with Sandman.

>>83726147
>>83717398
I think Man-Bat and Lizard are probably better parallels to each others than ones in this picture, down to a scientist friend of the hero unwittingly being transformed into a animal hybrid monster, and hero trying to help him, for the sake of scientists family.

>>83727115
I know he was, and I can also guarantee noone would resurrect him if they didn't need him for some specific reason.

>>83716987
Nice catch, but Sandman's weakness is water, just like Inques, and she doesn't impersonate people. Spellbinder does the illusion angle instead of just the mind control one - list goes on.

So I guess we could say they are fusions of Batman and Spiderman villains, with a cyberpunk angle? That's a pretty cool idea to make Batman fresh, actually, creators deserve credit for this - it lets them create a new version that FEELS familiar, while beign fresh - but they are also tonally consistent, because they mix always same two concepts? That is a cool idea.

>>83703093
So, it's a Ronin cartoon?
... Actually, Samurai Jack and Batman Beyond DO feel pretty similar in general tone. Huh.
