Dick is mentioned in an episode. He's been protecting Bludhaven though these years as Nightwing.
Of course Bruce knew. He's Batman. The point of it is that he always knows what's implied, and it was VERY implied. Bruce treats Terry more like a son than he had ever treated Dick or Tim.
There's quite a bit of character evolution, and what was basically a happy ending for Bruce. He got a SON who made him proud. That's more than Batman could ever hope for, in a dark future like that.
Although I do see a lot more "warmth" as it were- in old Bruce. Its sort of the Father son Relationship that they have. Terry is a sharp young kid. His personality and the way he interacts with bruce is brilliant.
I dunno, but I definitely notice a difference, very slight, in his personality. It could be the fact that he grew so bitter and now that he can basically fight again, (through Terry,) he is coming out of his shell, hell, he even took back his corporation in Return of the Joker, after Paxton went to jail in- "kings ransom", was it?
My favorite animated movie of all time was and is Batman Beyond:Return of the Joker Unedited. It's rare and awesome. There is so much content that was edited out, and I didn't wanna miss any of it.
My favorite line has gotta be:

Since I can't get deep linking to work, fast forward to 1:44.
Really? I always liked the idea of Bruce eventually having second thoughts about quitting, and trying to get back in the game, only failing due to his heart.
but when you mention it- We were never told if he knew of his heart condition prior to his heart attack... So its possible he already knew.
And Yet, Terry fires him up again, warming up Bruces heart. Batmand Beyond Bruce smiles far more often than he did when he was younger in the DCAU.
Have I been living a lie?
Chocolate Show? Oh god. I would eat a baby to go to that. I nearly cried with envy when my grandad told me about his exploits in the Lindt factory.
I've never seen the appeal in chocolate cereals m'self. Doesn't that kind of defeat the entire purpose of a healthy start to the day? "Now we've got some tasty wholegrain cereal, just the perfect way to start the day. But the kids won't like that, so we've gotta DREEEEEENCH IT IN TOOTH-ROTTIN' GOOD CHOCOLATE!"
Then again, chocolate is delicious.
Funny thing though about that- even though that WAS why, he still kept making Bat stuff, Like the exo suit, and the New Batmobile... but by then, his heart condition had gotten so much more advanced, ( and him even older, and probably out of shape,) that He couldn't USE the exo suit. I think the main reason that he was so bitter as an old man, was not only because of the Powers takeover, and the REASON he gave up the cowl- but because he COULDNT become batman again, even if he wanted to. His heart condition was pretty bad, just giving few whacks to some jokerz excited his heart.
And Bruce and Clark are best friends. Clark has quite alot of friends, from Diana to Jimmy Olsen, Perry White... But nobody he trusts with both his life and death. They may not hang out civily, and have a few arguments now and then. But I don't think there's anyone Clark trusts more in the world, in ANYTHING at all, than Bruce.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN my theme song. >___>
You gotta see, Morrison intended to kill Damian. So yeah, he hated him at the beginning and made us all hate him. But then he grew to like the little bastard. A Robin with a personality besides "heroic wisecracking kid"? It would be a fantastic thing, huh? So he made it real. Damian's the one who'll follow the Batman legacy in the future, as well as the current Robin, who will probably be staying for quite awhile. Or at least as long as Dickbats stays, which I hope it's still some time, as I've grown to like him quite alot. Brings a new spirit into Batman, in a way, while still letting Bruce be a part of the big picture in his return series, which as far, has been a direct fact that Final Crisis still isn't over. And I love it.
As far as the Animated Universe is concerned, they're also bringing back Terry with a new Batman Beyond comic. Terry's a fantastic Batman, and Batman Beyond was brilliant, so I hope to see much more of him in the future. Beyond ended right where it should have ended (along with the whole DCAU universe, in a way) but I'd like to see the whole DCAU canon brought back. The Batman stories continued, maybe bringing Damian and other characters into the fray. It'd be awesome.
Funny how times changed. Damian cut off a man's head and he gets to be Robin. =P
Lol, am I the only one who thought the electrocution was far more unnerving than being shot? That Scream, and the fact you know he was killed is much more violent than simply being shot with a bang gun.
That, and much more excruciating. I mean come on, he was ELECTROCUTED. he sure as hell felt alot more pain than the ALMOST instant death in the original, where he pretty much just gave a line and died.
I remember watching the audio commentary during that scene and the producers jokingly said all those were robot cars xD
But I never claimed that no one died in the DCAU, I merely said that recent adaptations of comicbook superheroes suffered from being phased down to suit the requirements of the TV parent council or whatever that organisation's name is. I mean, did you see that CGI Iron Man series with all characters being teenagers? What the [tornado fang] is that?
Why is blood, murder and [twin slasher] OK in comicbooks that everyone can easily buy, but not on TV? Are they not the same target demographic?
You have things like Joker's death through seeing his shadow get electrified, which was actually quite scary when you saw his body shake and fall. And tons of other stuff.
Argh, horrible costume. Miri Riam's the only Star Sapphire worth anything, to be honest. Carol's better as a simple love interest.
Well, different people, different experiences, I guess.
That doesn't make the responsiveness any less sluggish.
