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

Does the first book have anything to do with the Batman Beyond series?

DKR was (and is, and will continue to be, I'm sure) a huge influence on a lot of the Batverse -- even though it's an AU, the whole dark gritty bat thing has been huge ever since, and really wasn't nearly as evident for a long time pre-DKR. But that said, it is an AU, so plotwise, there's really no connection.

Except for the random "Carrie Kelly" headstone in the future!Titans storyline, which gave me all kinds of plot bunnies.

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

Oh no! SA, that blows!

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

Also in the toonverse, they have an episode with three kids spinning stories about how they imagine Batman, and one story is clearly DKR, and the kid telling it is Carrie.

I take it AU is alternate universe. They should print disclaimers on the backs of these things, because I almost threw the book across the room after what they did to poor Dick.

My 5 year old saw me reading it and recognized the emblem (she's a huge batman fan.) She couldn't understand that there was batman for kids, and then batman for grownups, and no, she couldn't read daddy's book. What is the appropriate age to shatter a child's heroes?

Normally, they stamp 'em with "Elseworlds", though I know this one isn't.

Stamped, that is.

Continuity is an ever-shifting thing, which makes it tricky to figure at times. (Sighs, because Full Circle isn't in continuity any longer.)

The Talia/Bruce kid is AU, isn't it?

Does the Supe/WW kid exist?

The Talia/Bruce kid is AU, isn't it?

Yeah, that's out of continuity.

Wolfram: nope.

I couldn't get through the first part.

I made it all the way through, and was terribly put out.

The Talia/Bruce kid is AU, isn't it?

Yeah, that's out of continuity.

Son of the Demon is outside of main continuity? Huh. I didn't realize that. I thought that was main canon.
