Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And didja send it?

Well?

Still waiting....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And didja send it?

It's sitting at home next to the Wonder Woman action figure and the stack of Batman Animated videos you'll be borrowing from Emmett while he's not looking.

But I'm mailing that, and Nilly's package and some Tom Scola stuff all this weekend.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

casually alludes to the fact that she had a brief affair with Robin

Oracle-Babs's relationship with Robin/Nightwing is comics canon as well, although she dumped him at the start of this year.

BB-Barbara makes a throwaway comment in Return of The Joker about how bitter Nightwing is now, which makes me sorry we never get to see Mean Old Mister Grayson.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm trying to find that on Netflix, Hec, and I see:

  • Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker NR 2000
  • Batman Beyond: The Movie NR 1999
  • Batman Beyond: Tech Wars / Disappearing Inque NR 1999
  • Batman Beyond: School Dayz / Spellbound NR 1999

Where would one start?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Which I'm enjoying. Well, the aftermath. I suspect I like things messy.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Return of the Joker was good.

ita, I'm guessing BB:The Movie is the two-part pilot, so start there.

Favorite Bruce/Terry exchange in BB is something like:

Bruce: She's just a troubled kid.

Terry: And you're the expert on that. You collect them, don't you?

Oh, and a recurring bad guy on Batman Beyond (villain of one ep, part of the gang in "Return of the Joker") was voiced by Michael Rosenbaum. For the Lex completist.

Nooo! They were great together. I may possibly be the only het Batverse shipper on this board, but: NightwingNOracle4eVa!

I have this whole post about how even though she gets positioned as the reasonable, emotionally aware part of that couple, it's *Babs's* issues that are tearing them apart at the end more than his. I mean, yeah, he can't let go of the past, but, hello? Member of the Batfamily? Part of the job description.

No, you're not. I see your 4eVa! and raise you a !!!1!

I love them as a couple, but I'm loving seeing just how messed up the uncoupled part has made them and how it has affected their judgement. The headspace they're in right now is just painful.

Expand! I mean, yes, this, but I'd love to see more about it from your POV.

As Kalshane notes, Batman Beyond: The Movie has the pilot and early episodes. I think you'd like the character Inque from Disappearing Inque though, quite a lot. Very intriguing. BB did a great job of creating new villains. I always loved The Joker Gang too - great concept.

Interesting, Misha. 'Cuz I browsed through Nightwing: Big Guns the other day and just watching Oracle and Nightwing interact I was (unknowing) hoping they'd get together. She's such an intriguing character and I didn't want her rendered sexless because she was disabled. Then - bang - they kissed and I was happy.
