ooh Dick...

hmm i wonder if there is a Jason Todd in this world....

[superfangirl1]

I think in the dcau tim drake was a combination of jason background traits with tim background traits?

[shadowpsykie]

oh yeah i know, just i meant here. There is a Hush here. so there is some cross over.

i was just wondering if in this Batman beyond, if there was a Jason TOdd or if they were going with the Standard DCAU version with Dick and Timson being the only two Robins

[superfangirl1]

That be cool if they did introduce a jason todd in this comic. :D

[janegray]

No, it wouldn't.

Everybody in the Batman Beyond Universe got horribly, horribly screwed over. Tim got it the worst, but Dick (who apparently had some kind of terrible fight with Bruce after being treated like crap and has refused to see him for decades) and Barbara (the Bruce/Barbara pairing made canon) and Bruce (lost everybody he ever loved, spent decades completely alone) and pretty much every single old villain got it pretty bad too.

I love Jason. That's why I don't want to see him ever, ever set foot in the BBU.

[espanolbot]

There is, this is a combination of the regular comics universe mixed in with Batman Beyond.

So Cass's costume is in the Batcave, for example.

[shadowpsykie]

i kinda hope there isn't mainly because i don't like the idea of Tim becoming the Joker. it implies that Tim could not handle torture at the Joker's hands. And i am pretty sure he could because he isn't the "kid" that Tim!Beyond was....well he was when he started, but not anymore.

[lonewolf23k]

Well, in the end, Tim -didn't- break at the Joker's hands, and resisted the torture and brainwashing. It's only the nanochip that eventually transformed him, and nobody knew about it.

[dorksidefiker]

Can't say as I'm too impressed with the art.

Still... *makes happy fangirl noises*

Also, who's the redhead with Tim?

[superfangirl1]

That would be his wife. :)

[twomasks]

Huh. She was blonde in the movie.

[auggie18]

Terry's mom was a redhead in the show and they give her black hair here. There are a lot of errors. Or intentional changes, though what those intentions may be is far beyond me.

[dorksidefiker]

Does she have a name, or is she just "Tim's Wife"?

[superfangirl1]

She is unnamed as of right now and was call Mrs. drake in the movie. :)

[rdfox]

Given the blonde hair, hairstyle, and when it was made, it was pretty clear they meant for Mrs. Drake to be Steph in the movie... just not by name.

[thandrak]

You know, I never realized that. You're right.

[runespoor]

Holy age difference, Batman.

[icon_uk]

Is that stated outright? Because, judging by her age compared to Tim, I'd have put money on her being his daughter. Or possibly a nurse.

[superfangirl1]

Well other sources review say it her also. But the possibility of her daughter or possibly a nurse could work too. :D

[lieut_kettch]

Tim and Steph's daughter sounds about right. Name her Carrie and we're all set...

[thanekos]

man, old!Dick looks like a foreshortened Nick Fury there.

I suppose this means Future!Jason dresses like a space arab and carries a magic space ankh.

[leorising]

I have no opinion on how Dick's aged until we see him from the back.

[thosefew]

Pick one:

Nick Grayson
Dick Fury

[shadowpsykie]

also... how can Terry say Bruce never needed backup when he knows he had like... 50 bat clan members

[icon_uk]

They weren't "back up", they were "bullet interceptive wetware".

[icon_uk]

Well, I'm cautious. I hate how Bruce is reacting here (unless he's been replaced by Hush already) but it's great to see Dick, and surely they wouldn't pull a SECOND "Bat sidekick becomes supervillain", on the other hand this is Beechen, and yet, no matter how bad it gets it still can't be worse than what happens to Dick in the future of "Dark Knight Strikes Again"

[alexanderlucard]

I think Bruce is doing it to keep Terry off this case and thus getting killed.

[icon_uk]

Did that line of thinking EVER work with a Robin? Or a Batgirl? I don't think so.

[nezchan]

He hasn't tried it with a BatMAN yet. You just have to be sure.

[aeolos_sakya]

That's a fair point ;D

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

Careful, DC might take a statement like that as a challenge.

[philippos42]

Too late, they're already in rewrites!

[janegray]

and yet, no matter how bad it gets it still can't be worse than what happens to Dick in the future of "Dark Knight Strikes Again"

Please don't say that. They might take it as a dare.

[cypherfdp]

Well, looks like I'm buying Issue 4.

[darkknightjrk]

I know, I know, first Dick appearance in Beyond, but...this mini's just going downhill fast. :(

[omgwtflolbbqbye]

Of all the Bat-clan members in either universe, I always felt and hoped that Dick would have the best shot of having a full and happy life/superhero career like Superman... it doesn't look like life has been kind to him here :(

[rdfox]

As I said upon first reading this: "Adam Beechen, I *almost* forgive you for everything you did to Cass Cain. Almost." If what happened to Dick and the identity of the new Catwoman is as good as the book's been so far, I might go so far as to remove the qualifier...

[jeyl]

Geez marion, what is up with Dick's posture? He's looks like one of those angry people on the street who won't stop making weird noises to themselves.

[runespoor]

The art and the angle of Dick's face make it look like he's got an eyepatch. Deathstroke!Dick. D:

Then again, I also think the characters look Asian here.

[thatnickguy]

I want to say "Dickstroke", but man, does THAT ever sound wrong.

[runespoor]

Aaaaaand, we have a winner. Congratulations for that one, sir.

[anewchallenger]

You're not alone - I can't stand the art because like... everyone's suddenly very, very Korean.

WTF, DC? You draw Linda Park looking whiter than my mom half the time, but the beyond-verse all look like backup dancers in a Wondergirls video?

[thatnickguy]

So, where's Terry in this?

Seriously? The guy with Bruce is supposed to be Terry? When I look at him, I don't see Terry at all.

[russian_guyovich]

The only thing that worries me is that dick is going to be hush. They reference hush as being agile (Something Dick has in spades). Hush also has to be someone who knows Bruce Wayne was Batman.

However the last scene in the book seems to take place at the same time as Terry talking to Dick.

[icon_uk]

As I said, after what Beechen did to Cass and DCAU did to Tim, I really can't see them using that trope again. Maybe Dick has a kid who went bad or something...

[minyandu.livejournal.com]

in the second panel Terry looks a lot like a growup Damian. O_o

[hyperactivator]

Why would brothers look alike? Weird. ^_^

[lbd_nytetrayn]

So... I wonder how old Tim was when Joker abducted him here.
