BEYOND
To those who haven't learned yet, there is a new Batman hitting the streets of Gotham in June's comic line up. Jim Gordon will be piloting a power suit with the finest technology Powers Corp. can manufacture. They felt a need to make this grandiose Batman as the original "died" at the end of Joker's Endgame. I use quotes because the fact remains that in the case of the Justice Leagues books, he is alive. It is only a matter of time until he comes back to Gotham, ready to take back his role and take down the imposter...or will he? When he returns, he will definitely retake his place as the protector...but I don't think he's going to let the robot suit go. I believe Scott Snyder has ANOTHER "Endgame" planned. I don't mean Batman is going to destroy the city, I think, with the help of this new Batman, he's going to make sure its protected FOREVER!Why do I bring these things up? The answer is simple. There has been a Batman who had such abilities(and more to an extent). A Hero that has recently put in the main DC earth. That hero is Terry McGinnis aka Batman Beyond, and HE IS THE ENDGAME! The suit Batman Beyond wears is a more high tech and sleek version of Gordon's suit. The Future suit is able to take on cyborgs from the future, no matter the size. As we see in Future's End #1, he fights the cyborg Plastique, and killing it by PUNCHING A HOLE THROUGH ITS HEAD! Even if the monster of the future was weakened by the time jump, it would take a MASSIVE amount of power to punch through solid metal. The Beyond suit can also fly, from the boots rather than the back like the Gordon one. However there is one major difference in the design of both suits. Since Gordon is untrained by the Batman, he won't be as agile and light on his feet. The added armor would help with the mistakes. In comparison, Beyond's armor wouldn't need that extra armor, as it would allow him to be more agile, as Batman has always been.

Scott Snyder isn't allowed to kill Batman, so he did something better. He opened the door to have Batman live in Gotham even after Bruce is gone. He created the transition for the future. The pieces for Batman Beyond are there...all we do now is wait for the game to begin.
Thats it for this week's Theory! What do you think of my connection between the new and future Batmen? Do you have any theories you want to see looked into? Leave a comment and remember...
When it comes to DC, QUESTION EVERYTHING!
Will the Son of Batman come into play?
ReplyDeleteI really doubt it. He's off flying big hairy monsters at the moment
