Justice Leauge Unlimited: "Epilogue" - Page 2

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 07-25-2005, 10:36 PM

Well, as much as I like Puffy Ami Yumi's music in the first Mad Mod ep, I also prefer the 4th of july one. It was just more surreal, and I dig a good historical parody.

Anyway, we've gone off-topic. What did everyone think of the way Bruce Wayne seems to have driven away all his friends?

*Anarky* · 07-26-2005, 09:29 AM

Bruce always was a loner... he never had too many friends.

But it really is sad, when you think about the fact, that this was the final appearance of the Batman as we knew him. Don't get me wrong, I think "The Batman" has potential and has given many new and sometimes good inputs on Bat-Vilains and especially Alfred. But the BTAS-Bats just was one of his kind.

Farewell, Batman of my youth. I'll see you on DVD.

*DrSpengler* · 07-26-2005, 10:04 AM

I think Batman being a lonely old man is sad yet fitting. He's always been a sociopath who was extremely difficult to get along with.

Tim got mind-f*cked and was forced into early retirement.
He rejected Barbara's love and she quit the team.
Dick...well, we don't really know. He got pissed and went out on his own but always helped Bruce whenever he really needed him. Then he just sort've vanished.
We never found out what happened to Selena. Last time we ever got to see her was in the "Chase Me" short film.

I think it was fitting. Another great part of "Epilogue" was at the end where Bruce is acting as "fatherly" as he can; making Terry soup an then complaining that he let it get cold. Kind've sweet.

*The Stryker* · 07-26-2005, 11:45 AM

I Would like to see what happened to Dick, that question just bothers me in the Batman Beyond arc. probably dead or something

*Dane E5R* · 07-26-2005, 01:43 PM

Dick isn't dead. Barbara mentions him in The Return of the Joker. Though I'm sure he's probably living a rather lonely life similar to Bruce's.

I'm sure that Batman will still be part of JLU, though that was a fitting closure to his series. And, while I dont like "The Batman" I do like it's version of the Joker.

And, I also thought it was sweet whan Bruce was acting fatherly to Terry.

Nope, he will not appear on JLU anymore. He has to leave because "viewers might be confused by the appearance of two different "Batmen" on two different series".

*Dane E5R* · 07-26-2005, 01:56 PM

Hm... I didn't realize that. Now I'm ****ing sad too.

That's a really stupid decision. They're probably gonna lose a good amount of viewers because of this, I really only ever watched Justice League to see if I'd get a glimpse of Batman.

*Anarky* · 07-26-2005, 02:03 PM

No, I don't think that JLU will lose ratings just because Bats left. I mean, the JLU has so much more to offer, like heroes the world has never heard of (Hawk and Dove anyone?).

The laughing Goku wanna-be with the s*it plots?

Hamil>Him

*DrSpengler* · 07-26-2005, 02:11 PM

Well, they made "Epilogue" when they weren't granted a 5th season and they were pretty much under the assumption that this was going to be IT.

However, thankfully, they were greenlit another 13 episodes as they revealed at SDCC and Batman will be appearing only briefly in a couple of them (as his story is considered "over") and they'll be focusing mostly on the Legion of Doom and other characters. However, Batman's rogues and supporting cast are still off limits, so no Scarecrow or Riddler or Solomon Grundy in the Legion of Doom.

I'm glad that Batman won't be "forgotten" next season and we'll get to see a few glimpses of him here and there.

And I want to see more of JLU Beyond.

Well, it is a rather cool looking character. It's just not a Joker or someone as clever as the Joker.

But on the other side you have to see that this is a "teen-Joker", so he might become his evil self some day.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 07-26-2005, 02:14 PM

Hamil is better. I'm just saying I like him with Dreadlocks. I do prefer the Batman: TAS Joker.

I think it REALLY sucks that they;'re removing Batman from JLU! I find it condescending that they think it's too confusing, and want to see more of the Batman/Wonder Woman pairing!

I didn't know that...

*Voltron* · 07-26-2005, 04:08 PM

Neither did I! I, too, only watched JLU to see Batman. I'm really disappointed.

But the episode was an excellent way to bring the story to a close. I damn near wept.

Oh god, did that couple suck, in fact, so does Wonder Woman, the work they did with Hawkgirl was amazing, why could'nt they attribute that to Diana?

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 07-27-2005, 07:58 PM

Actually, I thought Shayera was kind of a bitch in the previous series, but I do like what they're doing with that character now. I need to see that movie.

I think the Wonderwoman/Batman pairing was cute and unexpected.

I don't get the hate people have for Hawkgirl, she was easily a better character than the bland, boring Diana, who had some of the worst early J.L episodes I've ever watched, and Starcrossed and the later J.L.U episodes prove that beyond all doubt.

And that couple was s*it. Pure s*it, did'nt go anywhere, oh wait, there was that "Childs' Play" episode for all the fangirls who thought it was "cute", but only served to show how annoying Diana was and how doomed that relationship was going to turn out

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 07-27-2005, 08:33 PM

She was mean as Hawkgirl. But, I like her ALOT now as the regretful Shayera, much more depth now, and I even feel sorry for her. But, in the first series, she was just too pushy to be a likeable character, to me, anyway. I can understand you relating to her. But now that she's strong AND vulnerable she's one of my favourite characters. She really isn't Hawkgirl anymore.

And, you're entitled to think they did a bad job with Wonder-Woman, but please accept that I disagree.

I thought it was a very well written episode, The only things I didn't like was they Batman glory *I don't hate Batman I just thought he got way too much praise* and the fact that Terry was his quasi-clone *Kind of a slap to the face on Terry*. But like I said it was very well written I love that we got to see the Justice League Unlimited, and Batman Beyond villians like Inque, Hunter, and Shreik, and we got to see Parasite, The Phantasm, and the Ace part was really sweat.
