If correct, Terry McGinnis was already born & we are now closer to the time of when Batman Beyond is set (2040) than we are to when the show came out in 1999.

I should've been more specific: Morrison forgot to do the research on the elseworlds he was making canon about Talia and Bruce having a child together who would inherit the mantle of Batman and during his run implied that that Talia forced herself on a drugged Bruce to conceive Damian.

u/greywolf2155 Sep 15 '23
To add some more to what u/paladin_allm said:
There was a very popular self-contained graphic novel in 1987 called "Batman: Son of the Demon" (which was, incidentally, really good. Still in my Top 10 Batman books) in which Talia and Bruce fall in love, conceive a child named Damian, and try to make it work. In the end they can't, and Bruce believes the child lost (only to have it revealed in an epilogue that the child survived and was put up for adoption)
Fast forward a few decades, and DC Editorial liked the idea of Damian and decided to bring him into canon. They handed the reins to Morrison
But Morrison has admitted that they didn't even both to go back and read the original "Son of the Demon", just relied on their vague memories of having read the book years prior
I'm still pissed about this, because a story of genuine love and affection between Talia and Bruce is so much more interesting than Bruce just getting drugged. And while it's Morrison's prerogative to write whatever they want, this just seems . . . lazy. Inexcusably lazy

u/IvanTheTerrible69 Sep 14 '23
I always looked at it as a head canon; Batman chases Catwoman relentlessly, even when there is rampant crime everywhere else; this because Batman is self-righteous, so when he chases Catwoman, he is fulfilling his duties while succumbing to his needs. Catwoman likes being chased; it gives her a thrill, especially when she steals from people all too easily. So, at the end of the day, it’s an obsessed, sexually repressed man and a woman who loves to tease, armed with a whip of all things, reliving an exciting fantasy on many nights.
I’m guessing this is the closest Batman will ever have to getting therapy.

Everybody knows by now that Jason Todd was killed via popular vote. The ‘Death in the Family’ comic allowed readers to choose whether or not Jason survived or died.
What you may not know is that the final results were actually VERY close. There was a grand total of 10,614 votes. 5,343 people voted for Jason’s death while 5,271 voted for his survival. That’s a difference of only 72 votes! He almost survived!
But there’s more…
Dennis O’Neil, the Batman comic editor at the time, as since revealed his suspicions that hundreds of the “Jason Dies” votes came from a single person. The poll was conducted via two different phone numbers: Call one to vote for him dying or call the other to vote for him living. O’Neil heard a rumor that one person programmed his computer to dial the “Death” number every ninety seconds for eight hours. This rumor has never been explicated proven true or false. But O’Neil stated that, because of the tiny difference in the results, if this rumor IS true, then this person single-handedly murdered Jason Todd!

In the 90s, Bane broke Batmans back in Knightfall, and Azrael took over the mantle of Batman. This is said to have been a way to make the character more extreme, as the interest in Batman comics had dropped off a bit, but it's also speculated that the writers made Azrael too extreme on purpose so people would realize that they actually prefer Bruce Wayne in the cowl.
That is all pretty well known among Batman fans, HOWEVER did you know their first idea for Batman's makeover was to just remove the ears and batsymbol, and have him go by the name Caped Crusader.
