Date: 2010-09-16 10:35 am (UTC)If any version of future-Bruce holds water for me, it's the Kingdom Come version as he's not as psychotic as the Beyond version (there I said it). In KC, he's completely rid of the Joker, the mansion, the pretence, etc., and has a chance to sit back and grin. And looks magnificent doing so.

Date: 2010-09-16 01:50 pm (UTC)I like Kingdom Come Bruce playing Sherlock Holmes in the end noticing Diana's pregnancy. And Nightstar should be good for Ibn too. That ending really makes me happy. :P

Date: 2010-09-16 01:05 am (UTC)Given his proximity to the bomb and the fire, there would probably be little clothing actually left. the green undershirt would be fair enough, the matching green undies would just be underwear, the rest would be shredded or burned. It's not like anyone was expecting to find robin there,

Date: 2010-09-16 10:11 am (UTC)I considered that most of Jason's clothing would probably be destroyed by the bomb, but then you've got Sheila who looks almost completely unscathed with even her perfect 40's coif still intact. I guess it's just another case of the art failing to match the story.
no subject
Date: 2010-09-16 10:32 am (UTC)I don't think the Joker's involvement in the explosion was ever a secret, and it was mentioned (again IIRC) in the Gotham Knights story about Jason's death.

Date: 2010-09-16 12:22 pm (UTC)Also, this flashback makes no sense to me in the comic's own internal continuity. Why does the Joker kidnap Alfred of all people? Why is the Joker still alive post-Robin, since the book already established that Return of the Joker happened? And why is Dick even mentioning Alfred without explaining who he is, since Terry likely doesn't know anything about Alfred?
Re: Beechen Brand Fuckery: You'll say "WHAT THE FUCK" every time!
Date: 2010-09-16 08:04 pm (UTC)To play devil's advocate--and obvious continuity lapses aside--Bruce probably didn't go see Dick again because of his guilt over a mistake that got him shot. Plus the bullet in the spine ended Dick's career as Nightwing (I'm assuming--haven't read the comic). Bruce most likely knew this but still had a new suit made for him--he still sees Dick as a hero. Plus, Bruce can't be all that cold if he stopped his pursuit of Joker to be sure Dick was okay--he put Dick's well being ahead of the mission. Even with that reasoning, I still don't buy it, but it is a bit of a less harsh look at Bruce.
Dick's bitterness I have more trouble believing. He would fully understand Bruce's guilt, and I would think he'd be the one to break the silence and let Bruce know he doesn't hold a grudge. I could understand a falling out after Babs, but not over an injury in the line of duty--regardless of whose fault it was.
Re: Beechen Brand Fuckery: You'll say "WHAT THE FUCK" every time!
Date: 2010-09-16 10:41 pm (UTC)Hell, he got shot up one time and then Bruce ignored him? That isn't even half the fucking-over Tim got in Return of the Joker. I mean hell, at least Grayson actually got invited back.
no subject
Date: 2010-09-16 01:05 am (UTC)Sleeping with Babs - as a betting gal, I'd give the morning line at 3-5
Okay, he'd strip the costume because 1) who wouldn't? and 2) that whole secret identity thing - nearly 100% chance
But Bruce Wayne never talking to Dick Grayson again? Quite a longshot... 100-1 maybe...
No matter, Batman Beyond is great to read more and fun to watch, actually was watching the series on Amazon Unbox as I logged on...

Ok, time to see if there's a Starro hiding on Bruce.
no subject
Date: 2010-09-16 02:51 am (UTC)However let me point this out, the canon here makes NO SENSE. Joker should be dead because there is no Robin, why have nightwing your EX SIDEKICK when you have your current one?
As for the whole bruce is a dick....he kinda is here but he's easy to write poorly. No excuse though

Date: 2010-09-17 03:22 am (UTC)I KNEW something was bugging me about this whole scene and it wasn't Bruce not seeing Dick in the hospital!
We know per Barbara's Dialog in RotJ that Batgirl and Robin were still working with Batman on a regular basis up until Tim's kidnapping, it was after the Joker's Death that Robin was retired and we presume that Batgirl retired at the same time or a few years later. So the line "Hadn't worked with a partner in years" doesn't fly here with the Joker still alive.
So either NickFury!Dick is the lying liar that lies or Beatchen decided to play fast and loose with continuity and canon...again
This sequence would have worked better with a different Bat-Villian who kidnapped Bruce Wayne's beloved Butler and held him for ransom (plenty to pick from there)
no subject
Date: 2010-09-16 02:57 am (UTC)I'm not taking this as DCAU Batman Beyond canon. Because this? Is just bullshit.
Comics writers just have to make everything a billion times more fucked up than the 'toons. Beechen just lost my readership.

Date: 2010-09-16 06:13 am (UTC)Sure Bruce was a jerk in the later post BTAS seasons 1-3 DCAU, but this...this goes beyond sleeping with Babs. At least that could be reasonably explained as two consenting adults.
Tim, at least he got Tim Drake the necessary help he needed.
This though...damn. What ever happened to Amanda Waller's speech about how Bruce was so caring and stuff in Justice League's Epilogue?

Date: 2010-09-21 10:03 pm (UTC)So indeed we get Dark Knight Strikes Again, plus Deathwing, Tim as evil Batman in "Titans of Tomorrow," Return of the Joker, and now this. The upside is that once the writer goes for the Dick Grayson button, there aren't any more to push.
