History Headscratchers / BatmanBeyond

** Well, the Future Static has been missing for quite some time. Probably Bruce had Terry went out and search for the missing hero 24/7 which can build up a lot of stress. Also, to have Bruce have Terry do that meant that Bruce respects Static on the same level as Super Man which makes it a CrowningMomentofHeartwarming.

** It's exactly what she meant, presumably. Queen was born and practically raised in the family, hence this was the only good thing that she had. Also, Bruce did say that there has been dozens of versions of the Royal Flush Gang that has passed their titles from Fathers to Sons and so on. It's possible Queen's Father was already in the gang and got promoted from Jack to King or he got recruited and became King.

** He's still a master hunter. Probably that experience with the train caused him to face his fears.

** Splicing has its benefits but also has its flaws. It has been stated that this particular splicing causes heightened aggression.

* Why does "Robert Vance" want to be human so badly? Humans get sick, grow old, and die.

[[folder: Terry can kiss Ten, but not Dana?]]
* I find it odd they never show Dana and Terry kiss. Whenever they are about to kiss, a new villain attacks, and Terry has to leave Dana behind to save the day. Oddly enough, they show Terry making out with Ten in two episodes.

* During those 20 years, no super villain thought about taking over the city?

[[folder: No super villain decided to attack Gotham during his retirement?]]
* Did Bruce defeat all the big time super villains before retiring?

* Bruce is lucky that there were no super villains around during the years of his retirement. Robin, Barbara, and Knightwing were too old to fight. They would have been screwed if Ras showed up one day with a deadly device.

[[folder: How is the city still in one piece?]]

* Bruce is lucky that super villains didn't attack Gotham during the years of his retirement. Robin, Barbara, and Knightwing were too old to fight at this point. They would have been screwed if Ras showed up with a weather making machine or something.

* Bruce is lucky that super villains didn't attack Gotham during the years of his retirement. Did Robin, Barbara, Knightwing somehow stopped the surviving Batman rogues gallery from taking over?

* What's up with the way she treats him when he tries to tell her that Spellbinder tricked her? He says "Barbara, you have to listen to me", and she cuts him out and refuses to listen, saying "Wrong. Those days are long gone, Bruce". What's up with her rudeness? ''He'' does listen to her when she goes to talk with him. Does she believe that she has the exclusive privilege to be heard by him since she's the commissioner/knows his secret, but not the other way around?

** Consider that in between Batman's shit got incredibly worse, at first rumours of the Batman kept criminals off the streets but then they returned in droves like the Jokers and T's these were just gangs and they were murderous! Bruce was the Dark Knight because he brought Justice to the dark of Gothams streets, Terry was the Tommorow Knight because he brought the light back to Gotham, the city was a dystopia and he saved it, it's like the opening text crawl says "Apathy, Greed, Corruption, Hope."

* Bat-genes or not, Terry wasn't going to just turn into Batman when his parents were killed. The [=McGinnis's=] seem to be reasonably well-off and middle class, but Terry couldn't possibly have had all the resources Bruce needed to travel the world and be trained by experts. He would likely just have been sent to live with relatives or put into foster care. If Waller overtly stepped in to help, she wouldn't have wound up with the kind of hero she wanted because Batman's a loner by nature.

** Nightwing just may possibly have decided to train Terry even if he knew the circumstances (Keep in mind that this isn't the Dick that got to hang out with the Teen Titans every weekend, but he did have brotherly relationship with Tim Drake), if it was what Terry wanted. Bruce pointed out to Barbara that every single one of his allies came willingly, all he did was teach them now not to die. However if Dick was in charge from the time he was very young it's possible that Terry may have ended up as a ''very'' different kind of Batman, if he became Batman at all.

** I believe Amanda Waller's technique only targeted Warren McGuinnesses sperm cells, probably somehow replacing Warren's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatogonium spermatogonia]] so that they are carrying Bruce's DNA not his but leaving the rest of Warren's DNA alone. Of course this would be impossible in real life (aside from the sheer impracticality of the thing even if it did work Warren's immune system should recognise the different DNA and start attack it making him very ill indeed) but as this is the DCAU and crazier stuff has happened (e.g. diseases that effect all male sentient life for example) I'm willing to let it slide.
