* EvilOldFolks: ''Hush Beyond'' features an elderly Julian Day (formerly the supervillain Calendar Man who was part of Bruce’s RoguesGallery) living in Gotham Oaks Senior Assisted Living Center. Despite this, he is still a nasty person, and tries rigging a birthday card for Comissioner Gordon with a bomb. Unfortunately for him, that same card is used by Hush to blow him up.

insufficient context. ship sinking must refer to a specific scene intended to disprove a pairing per TRS https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1640420480098263500


* ShipSinking:
** Aquagirl was vaguely hinted to have had a crush on Terry during her appearance in the series, as well as the earlier parts of the comic. However, eventually in the comic, she's revealed to be in a relationship with Warhawk, and apparently from the start of her life on the surface.
** Dana and Terry break up during volume four. However, Dana still has feelings for Terry and is open to getting back together if Terry can stop running off to assist Bruce, and the comic is set before ''Justice League Unlimited''[='s=] "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS2E13Epilogue Epilogue]]", where the pair are older and Terry is planning on proposing to Dana.
** Terry and Melanie reconnect in 2.0 and start dating for a while. But Terry's mistrust of her criminal past and accusing her without evidence of a theft makes her break up with him.

* BrushOffWalkOff: Done at the end of the Hush Beyond arc when Terry (i.e. the current Batman) teams up with Nightwing (as in Dick Grayson). Throughout the cartoon, it was heavily implied that whatever caused the final breakup of the Bat Family was especially bitter when it came to Dick and Bruce [[note]]"Return Of The Joker" explained that Tim Drake left on a sour note after Bruce refused to let him be Robin anymore despite undergoing treatment to undo Joker's torture, in the first episode where she appears Barbara Gordon observes that Bruce "sewed up the bullet holes" in her old Batgirl costume[[/note]]. By that point, Bruce had managed to reconcile to an extent with both Barbara and Tim, and likewise tried to reach out to Dick through Terry's suit. Terry cuts Bruce's heartfelt appeal off by stating that Nightwing left the moment he heard Bruce's voice. Understandably, Bruce is crushed.

That applies to the Rebirth series, which is covered on its own page.

I have no idea what the sentence ending in ellipses is supposed to refer to, and it's questionable to consider this comic's depiction of Dick Grayson being based off Nick Fury if the only things the characters have in common are eyepatches and graying temples. Dick Grayson in the Batman Beyond comic doesn't seem to be in charge of a covert government agency dealing with superhuman threats, and I am certain Nick Fury has never been someone's sidekick!


* {{Expy}}: Many have commented on Dick Grayson's appearance being undeniably close to ComicBook/NickFury's. This has lead to...

* DarkerAndEdgier: Yes... a series that was already dark by the standards of children's television goes even further here.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Yes... a series that was already dark by the standards of children's television goes even further here. In particular, the comics are even more upfront about characters dying than the cartoon was already and more depth is given to how Bruce Wayne ended up drifting away from his friends and allies (one example being the revelation that Dick Grayson had a falling out with Bruce after learning that he got Barbara pregnant with his child, which she subsequently miscarried after getting beaten by a crook she tried to fend off) as well as establishing tragic events for the other Justice League members by the events of ''Batman Beyond'' (e.g. Superman outliving his significant other Lois Lane, Wonder Woman being missing for decades because she was stranded in the Justice Lords dimension [[spoiler:and losing her magic lasso because she used it to take a life, specifically that of [[KillingYourAlternateSelf her own Justice Lords counterpart]]]]).
