History Headscratchers / BatmanBeyond

** Money in the family may be "a little tight", but they don't seem to be in any danger of loosing their apartment. Terry's pay most likely takes pressure off of his mother by providing his own basic necessities(like clothing, toothpaste, etc) and maybe help out with groceries here and there. The family seems comfortably lower-middle-class. As for how much? Bruce has no doubt calculated "enough to keep him honest, but not enough to make him greedy".

** Bat man eats lunch with magicians and Martians, and goes to the circus with Superman. It's not like he hasn't met plenty of people who can fall off buildings.

** Another possibility -- Superman has been possessed by Starro for years; his attempts to kill Micron and Warhawk may be only the latest steps in a long-range plan to eliminate threats to Starro's plan. This also provides an explanation for bringing in Batman to find the "traitor" -- it was a setup to exacerbate tensions among the remaining heroes and possibly start a fight that would get Batman and/or some of the others killed.

** Tim will '''definitely''' have a huge chunk set aside for him, as Bruce to this day is tormented by guilt over what happened to Tim at the Joker's hands. I'm willing to bet that from the end of WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker onwards, Bruce is probably already paying the bills for whatever psychiatric care that Tim requires.

** Although during the series proper Bruce's fortune and control of the company was diminished, at the beginning of WesternAnimaton/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker, which seems to take place maybe a few months to a year after the end of the series proper, Bruce has apparently ''regained'' control of Wayne Enterprises. Remember the line where Bruce tells Terry "I've worked long and hard to regain my family's company," and that he's quite happy that it's back under Wayne family control instead of under the control of the {{CorruptCorporateExecutive}}s that Derek Powers had brought in. Chances are, Bruce has secretly edited his will to give control of the company to Terry one day.

** Like the Sneak Peak and Brain Trust entries above, this may qualify as a general misunderstanding on the part of the writers. All most people hear about military training is how horrible the harrangues and sleep deprivation is, so that's all they think it consists of. In-universe, it worked, because if it didn't, why would any parent send there kid some place that has a flawless track record of doing nothing but driving children insane. If you want to torture your child for being bad, you can do it in your own basement for free.

** Cadmus wasn't trying to create another Batman. Waller was trying to create a new Batman. Cadmus was trying to create weapons powerful enough to defeat the Justice League, should they ever turn against the US like the Justice Lords did on their Earth. As poorly as they are protrayed in the show, I don't think it's a bad idea to have a back up plan for either the Justice League turning against you or worse. Something sufficiently powerful to defeat the Justice League arriving and you being stuck with absolutely nothing you can do.
