DCAU: When present Superman met Batman Beyond
This is from Superman Adventures 64. 22 pages total, posted 7 and the cover.

Terry gets sent back in time by Bruce of the future to prevent Clark from making a horrible mistake.

Basically Brainiac has launched this super nuke that could put the entire earth into a nuclear winter. Superman originally stopped this by throwing it into the sun and it worked...until the future when it eventually caused the sun to send solar flares towards earth, heating it more and more each day. Terry is here to stop that and instead of the sun Superman throws it into deep space where no one will ever get hurt by it.

But there is a catch. Bruce of the future imprisoned Brainiac into the bat-computer and basically rendered him powerless. He discovers some of Brainiac's blueprints, including one for a Kryptonian time machine which be uses to send Terry back in time, but that part of Brainic awakens and stows away on the Bat-plane to the past to merge with it's past self and become even stronger.

It is mentioned that there is a time paradox by the way.

Brainiac ends up possessing Terry's suit, but Terry wins by taking out the power source from the new bat-plane, which in turn turns off Brainiac.

Most misleading cover ever too.

I am not good at tagging so hopefully I got it right.

Even if it lies, I love the cover.

Methane Falls? That idea stinks, Clark. Rings of Saturn or something.

Terry's forgetting Clark's future, which is pretty rough for a few years. Not to mention several others -- some of whom aren't even mentioned.

"Even if it lies, I love the cover."

I'm reasonably certain that this cover is from DC's "Full Coverage" event back a few years ago. It was a few issues after OWAW and "Joker's Last Laugh", and the title of the book was drawn into the artwork of the cover, on every book.

The JLA book had lightning bolts behind the heroes spelling out "JLA", while on Robin, a pile of defeated ninjas behind Tim spelt out "Robin", etc etc. A few of the stories were iffy, but there were some absolutely gorgeous covers produced. As gimmicks go, it was mostly harmless, and produced some extremely pretty art.

I like the art in a few panels, it has an ersatz Kirby-ish feel to it.

DCAU Superman proposes to Lois? That makes me happy. I'd be even happier if it was Clark proposing, though.

Well, maybe Clark reveals his secret identity a while before proposing to Lois in the DCAU. Probably so that he can pull romantic super-stunts.

Great issue. I have been meaning to post it. Just shows how much DCAU need to bring back the Batman Beyond title !!

I never did get Batman Beyond. Maybe I loved B:TAS too much.

Honestly, I never really got into Batman Beyond either. I guess it's a required taste.

Acquired, you mean. (Sorry, the grammar Nazi in me just couldn't help it.)
And yeah, good thing I'm not the only one not in the whole Batman Beyond love. Terry's OK, but the whole thing was just meh.

Would that really be a grammar issue, though?

According to Wikipedia grammar is the set of logical and structural rules that govern the composition of sentences, phrases, and words in any given natural language. Given that meaning, I assume it is a grammar issue.

I was kinda meh on it at first, then I watched Return of the Joker, The Once and Future Thing, and Epilogue and realized how *completely* Batman Beyond fit into the JLU Universe.

There's going to be some Batman Beyond stuff next year. Paul Leyritz is writing stuff related to it.

Heh.

I'm not sure why people keep acting like Batman has no sense of humor. He gets some of the funniest lines in the DCAU.

"You overplayed your part, yo."

And shortly after that:

"Wish I'd thought of that." *SLAM* "Oh wait... I did." *evil lopsided Bat-grin*

As I've said in this comm, Bruce's sense of humor is as dark as the inside of the cave.

I need air support... because I can't fly... at all.

Batman is hilarious, both DCAU and DCU when done right; its just awesomely dry.

My favorite funny!Bats moment was when he was beating up Condiment King.
Listen to me, Mustard Man, or whatever your name is...
Sadly, memoryfail gets the better of me. Maybe someone can post the rest of it here?

Bruce himself said very much the same, when he met his older self in The Once and Future Thing. Terry proceeded to snark about it, and got yelled at in stereo.

It's actually better coming from Clark, because Bruce is such a pessimist that of course he'd think that, but Clark is such an optimist that, if even HE thinks you're fucked ...

Wow, Terry is ripped. Dig the art style though, and this just makes me excited for the new Beyond stuff coming next year :D

This is awesome. Didn't know the car powered the suit, though.

Now, if only we could get Terry as Batman and Bruce in his prime as Batman together... and Once and Future Thing doesn't count, they didn't really have much going on there besides being an accessory to the Bruce-Bruce stuff.

Oh, and I dig the variant "The End" logos, using the Beyond bat symbol with Superman's.

The artwork is somewhat more complex than is usually the case in the DCAU. This Amancio guy sure loves his action lines.
