The off-screen deaths in: Batman Beyond, Part Twelve

S3E7 0:01:10 Interesting note. Hey look, its Metropolis!

Yep.

S3E7 0:03:30 To avoid a monorail crash, Micron dislodges one of the trains from the tracks and sends it rocketing through an office building. The part it smashes through seems mostly empty, so there were probably just a few injuries. But you know that there was that one dude that just wanted to look out the window and take a breather from his day and then bam! A fucking monorails smashes through the ceiling and crushes him.

"Well at least the trains didn't collide, right..."

"...right guys?"

S3E7 0:05:30 Interesting note. First time we have seen (or really, even heard of) Superman in the Beyond series. With the Justice League mentioned earlier (the whole Micron thing in Metropolis) and now Supes, it looks like shit is getting real.
S3E7 0:13:00 What looks like a train station suffers a small explosion, three commuters dead.

Shit is getting real.

S3E7 0:13:03 Half of a public building explodes. I have no idea what it is. It doesn't seem to be closed as there are two casually dressed young people approaching the building before it explodes and two more high school or college looking kids in the foreground. So I am going to hazard that this may be a shopping mall. With that, I will put forty-five stores inside of it. Eight of the stores are vacant five of them are in the food court which closes at 9pm. Thirty two stores with an average of four employees, ten custodians, twelve security personnel, and the four people out front of the mall. Seeing as there are only four To make my life easier, I am going to cut this right down the middle and say that 77 people employed by the mall were killed in the explosion with 30 shoppers. Total dead in the massacre at the mall? 107.

 

S3E7 0:13:06 More and more explosions. Lots of explosions in the streets. These are all going to quickly. I am pretty sure that one of the building that explodes is the mall from a different angle, so I am not going to count it. But the three explosions in the street and some falling rubble will kill another eighteen.

 

S3E7 0:13:50 Holy shit. I am going to add an additional ten for each of those fires. There are an additional two fires after the scene pans to the right.

"I am just so glad that we live in this city, Marth."

S3E8 0:09:05 Interesting note. Anyone playing Injustice: Gods Among Us might recognize this thing.

Death toll after S3E8: 2066


S3E9 0:03:58 Big Time swings a streetlight into the chest and throat of two police officers. They are hit so hard that it lifts them off of the ground. Lung collapse and tracheal trauma leave both dead. 

S3E9 0:15:40 Major and his goons get in a firefight with the police. One dude is shot in the arm but the blonde dude totally takes one right in the chest. Shortly afterwards, baldy takes one in the throat. When Major starts to crawl away from the scene we can hear the gunfight slowly drawing to a close, indicating that the girl and the final thug stupidly continued to fight to the death.

S3E9 0:19:50 Big Time falls to his demise.

More like Big Fall, right? (I'm sorry)

Well, we finally got back to some explosive episodes with that crazy ass debut from the Justice League. Also, as you may have noticed there are only three episodes in this segment. No, I haven't suddenly forgotten how my own blog works. There are four episodes of Batman Beyond left in the series and I decided the final post on Beyond should be a full entry. So, with that I am going to stop here. Catch everyone next time.

Also, I am aware that I didn't go as crazy in depth with my analysis of the deaths in S3E7 as I normally do. I don't like being that lazy (especially since that kind of silly thought is the whole point of this blog) but seriously, that episode is nuts. The explosions all happen in like five seconds and then after that everything is on fire, Aquagirl is Aqua-rescuing people from the ocean...and, the episode is just crazy.

If I move onto the Justice League as my next show to watch for this blog (and I think that I am), I probably will drive myself crazy looking at every frame I can and doing a more logical count. However, for the purposes of this blog, I am happy with how it turned out.

Cheers.

The off-screen deaths in: Batman Beyond, Part Eleven

S3E3 0:08:30 Interesting note. We learn that Inque has a daughter. Weird.

S3E3 0:15:00 Interesting note. Its brought to Terry's attention that Dana hasn't been getting mad at Terry when he bails on her in order to work for Mr. Wayne because Dana has figured that Terry just needs a father figure in his life and that Bruce has filled this role. Terry admits that she may not be far off the mark. Neat seeing how much the relationship between Terry and Bruce has grown.


Death toll after S3E3: 1885

S3E4 0:01:11 Interesting note. Hey look, its the same place where two Jokerz plummeted to their death in the very first episode!

S3E4 0:07:16 Interesting note. We are finally learning more and more about Terry's criminal past. After running into an old friend, Big Time, who is fresh from prison we learn that the only reason Terry dodged jail time was because he was underage.

S3E4 0:16:28 Interesting note. We finally learn just what Terry did...and it isn't all that exciting. He did ninety days in Juvenile Hall for breaking and entering when he was fourteen.

S3E4 0:19:04 Karros swipes at Batman, misses and hacks through the floor of the balcony they are fighting on. The edge of the balcony then breaks off, sending Karros plummeting off the skyscraper. Batman, again, forgets that he is not supposed to let these things happen and listens as the man screams and screams and screams and splats. (At the end of the episode when news report says that he is being moved to County General, they mean the morgue. This dude fuckin' fell off of a skyscraper. He is dead as hell).

"Fuck yeah, my Wolverine throwback is so fucking cool."

"Oh fuck! My Wolverine throwback has failed me hilariously!"

"This is pant-shitting terrifying but I bet Batman won't let me fall..."

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Death toll after S3E4: 1886

S3E5 Interesting note. Throughout this entire episode we are bombarded with references to all sorts of characters linked to the Batman and DC Comics universe. These sorts of references are already well documented all over the place and it is not the purpose of this blog to catch every wink and nod. However, I will point out (due to it carrying continuity weight in Batman Beyond) that it is confirmed that Bruce and Barbara Godon were once romantically involved (0:03:13).

S3E5 0:04:30 Interesting note. Terry mentions that the last time Bruce faced off against Ra's al Ghul was during something called the Near Apocalypse of'09. Hmm, I wonder if we will learn more about this event.


S3E5 0:12:50 Interesting note. Its really awesome to see Bruce and Terry fighting side by side.

Just...just look at how fucking awesome this is.

S3E5 0:19:28 Talia/Ra's' fortress explodes with Talia/Ra's and a goon still inside.

This guy. Last seen being interrogated by Terry. Presumed to be knocked unconscious and left behind.

Death toll after S3E5: 1887


S3E6 Nothing to write home about with this episode. This of course doesn't mean its a bad episode, it just doesn't add any bodies or interesting notes to this blog. Just the kind of neat story of Terry teaming up with a super smart, talking gorilla to take down a band of poachers that had initially stolen the gorilla's mother. But anyways...


Death toll after S3E6: 1887

And just like that we are four episodes closer to the series finale of Batman Beyond. Once again I apologize for the shorter post, but these later episodes are really making it tough on me! Hopefully the last handful of episodes will go out with a bang. Otherwise, I will have them all knocked out in a hurry. Until next time!

The off-screen deaths in: Batman Beyond, Part Ten.

S2E25 0:6:20 Interesting note. Well, it seems that Shriek somehow survived a goddamn skyscraper falling on top of him. But really, how can I be surprised after Stalker survived making out with a train?

S2E25 0:08:41 Interesting note. First sight of The T's since S2E3

Death toll after S2E25: 1885

S2E26 0:05:00 Interesting note. We start to learn the history of Bruce's dog, Ace. Its a really sweet, touching episode. I mean, just look at the little guy!

S2E26 0:08:40 Interesting note. Bruce met Ace while paying his yearly respects to his parents at Park Row. Don't you...dare...tear up, dammit!

"I hope you liked the movie and more so, I hope I made you proud."

S2E26 0:19:15 Interesting note. D'awwwwwww

Death toll after S2E26: 1885


S3E1 0:02:21 Interesting note. It is confirmed that Ace of The Royal Flush Gang is a robot. I had kind of guessed like considering he never speaks and had survived some ridiculous punishment without even slowing down.

Death toll after S3E1: 1885


S3E2 0:01:30 Interesting note. Do you think that the developers of Dead Space were Batman Beyond fans?

Nicole is dead.

Death toll after S3E2: 1885

Well, what can I say about these four episodes? Not a single dead person in any of them! Episodes like these make my job difficult, dammit. At least they weren't bad episodes. We got to see the touching origin story of Bruce's canine companion, Ace and the finale in the Royal Flush Gang saga. Ah well, guess you can't fill a skyscraper full of corpses in every episode.

Until next time!

The off-screen deaths in: Batman Beyond, Part Nine.

S2E21 0:04:00 Stalker literally drops out of the goddamn sky to announce, in a silent and very half naked sort of way, that he is still (somehow) alive. I suppose I will be tallying the body count back by one.

 

"You're the goddamn Devil!"

S2E21 0:9:50 Stalker leaps off of a thirty-ish foot tall ledge straight onto a man's chest, crushing and killing him instantly. After this, he engages an entire group of soldiers. I will accept that the dudes he takes out with kicks are knocked out, but the guy he kicks into a bunch of electronic panels is fried and there is also a dude that he totally brains with his beatin' stick.

S2E21 0:12:49 Once again, we see the ol' stick in the barrel of the gun trick and the same results.

"Jimmy! Don't pull the trigger!"

Oh, fuck! Where did Jimmy's face go? It's all over my suit!

S2E21 0:20:00 Falseface succumbs to a virus he was given by Kobra.


Death toll after S2E21: 1879

S2E22 0:19:36 Interesting note. I love this line (especially after Stalker came back in the last episode). When Terry informs Bruce that the villain Bullwhip had gotten away, Bruce replies 'He'll be back. They always come back.' Sure it could be just a little line, but I like to think that the writers added it in at a little jab at the recurring villains (even when it makes no sense) of comic books.

S2E22 0:19:44 Bullwhip goes back to Dr. Corso not knowing that Corso knows about him and April. Corso knocks him out with anesthesia and brings a drill closer to his face. Corso totally drilled this dude for drilling his girl

Death toll after S2E22: 1880

S2E23 Special note. This whole damn episode is a love letter to sci-fi in general. References to the original Star Wars, hatred for Star Wars Episode I, references to Lost in Space, Star Trek, The Last Starfighter and even a straight laced shout out to Phillip K. Dick. I am not going to note any or all of these as that is not the point of this entry. But any fan of sci-fi should totally watch this episode. This episode is absolutely awesome.

S2E23 0:08:58 The top ten or so floors of the Hall of Records are destroyed. Three janitors and one security guard are killed. Two people on the street are smashed by the flying rubble.

Remember when they used to destroy the whole building?

Death toll after S2E23: 1886

S2E24 0:14:40 Interesting note. Bruce berates Terry for injuring an innocent man. Oh my, if only Bruce knew about all of those goons and thugs that Terry has murdered in the past...


Death toll after S2E24: 1886

Four more down and what a bunch they were! An unlikely return from one of Terry's villains and a delightful stroll down sci-fi memory lane. These four episodes might not have been the biggest in body count, but at least there was some action and wonderful writing involved.

Most dangerous villain so far: Take a guess, dear reader.

Saddest death of part nine: Oh poor Jimmy. Dear citizens of future Gotham, your guns explode catastrophically at the merest of molestations. So please, please, don't pull the trigger of your explosive weaponry when someone has clogged your barrel with a stick.

The off-screen deaths in: Batman Beyond, Part Eight.

S2E16 0:01:18 Interesting note. This is just a aside from me, but I am wondering if anyone else ever got this vibe. I keep feeling parallels between Max and Selina Kyle. Max is relaxed and calm about everything and she loves cats. Terry and Max have ridiculous chemistry (more so than what we see between Terry and Dana) and are sort of some times partners in crime but not really. Its just a feeling I get that I am wondering if the writers thought of when making her character.

Selina as Chaotic Good rather than Chaotic Neutral?

Death toll after S2E16: 1871

S2E17 0:13:45 Armory fires a rocket at Batman. Batman deflects the rocket right into a residential apartment. Kills three.

S2E17 0:14:20 A crashed hover car from an earlier scene sets of a massive explosion. The explosion itself (from what I can tell, at least) doesn't engulf any of the local residences nor businesses. However, it does send a shitload of highly flammable barrels into the sky. These will probably end causing more property damage than anything, but we will say that there is at least one fatality.

Fucking everything in Gotham explodes.

Death toll after S2E17: 1875


S2E18 0:01:41 Interesting note. A news report gives us our first reference to Splicing since S2E1, it is now illegal and done through black market venues. We are also given a glimpse of Paxton Powers, last seen in S1E13.


Death toll after S2E18: 1875


Thanks to a screw up by Netflix, S2E19 is not available. So for now, we are just going to have to remove it from continuity entirely. As such, let us move along to S2E20.
S2E20 0:17:45 Interesting note. Watch as Batman puts himself on every government watch list that he hadn't already been on when he attacks these NSA agents. How wise you are, Batman.

Blow it up! - I mean, uh...justice!

Death toll after S2E20: 1875

Alright, that wraps up another four episodes for tonight. Seems this entry was rather boring, my apologies. But hey, its not my fault that Terry might have finally learned to stop murdering people and that Shriek isn't running up the body count!

Most dangerous criminal so far: You know its Shriek. We are heading for the final stretch of Batman Beyond, folks. Is anyone going to be able to top Shriek? Does anyone have the fucking guts to even try that? I mean, we would need some serious nutcase to top his kill count.

Saddest death in part eight: Well there are only four to choose from. Having a rocket fly through your apartment is pretty fucky, but how about the one dude that catches a flying, flaming barrel to the chest. I don't really know. How about, they were all sad because Armory was just a sad, broken man trying to help his family and he ended being responsible for the only four deaths in these four episodes
