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

S2E4 0:04:30 Robert Vance's rogue computerized 'soul' causes massive power failures throughout Gotham. The 2003 New York City blackout was responsible for at least ninety deaths. However, Gotham's digitized fuck-storm only occurs over one night, so we will rule out disease and health related deaths that result from a blackout while tacking on a few due to the fact that this is an entire city run by computers and electronics. So let us say that sixty people bite the dust over the course of the electrical buggery.


Death toll after S2E4: 357

S2E5 0:06:24 Interesting note. We learn that Terry is between 5'6" and 6'0". Back in 2011, Bruce Wayne was officially listed as 6'2", meaning that Terry and Bruce probably had to due a few alterations to the Batsuit.

Yeah, data!

S2E5 0:20:30 Interesting note. First reference to Alfred in series history.


Death toll after S2E5: 357 (woah, another episode where no one had to die horribly)


S2E6 0:03:00 Just when I was starting to think that Terry had worked out his issues and learned not to blatantly murder people, he relapses really hard. While taking down an illegal chop shop, he dive kicks a thug that was operating a crane type thing right in the chest. The thug is crushed into the machine and fucking electrocuted. This poor bastard died trying to suck air through crushed lungs and then getting fried.

The residual electricity has made me rock fucking hard.

S2E6 0:03:10 Not content with one count of first degree murder, Batman goes for two and three of the night. He kicks a metal car hood right into the faces' of two goons. Though it seems that only one of the guys took the worst of the cranial damage. One dead.

God damn Batman.

S2E6 0:12:00 Stalker hurls his spear into the muzzle of a police officer's firearm. For some idiotic reason, she pulls the trigger and it fucking explodes. Like really explodes. I don't, for a single fucking second, care that she is seen laying on the ground in one piece after the explosion. Look at this shit, she is so extraordinarily dead.

Holy shit, please don't pull the trigger.

Oh, holy shit!

Oh fuck, oh fuck its everywhere. Its in my hair!

S2E6 0:19:34 Not only does Batman totally let a crazed Stalker throw himself off of a building, but then watches as he is smashed by a train. As with all big villain deaths, I will adjust the death count if and when a villain comes back from the grave. But for now, I am saying that it just rained bits of Stalker on Lower Gotham.

Death toll after S2E6: 361


S2E7 0:02:17 Ten (of the Royal Flush Gang) returns and instantly upgrades from hesitant thief to murderer in all of three seconds. A goon walks into a room and Ten instantly swings for the fences, crushing his larynx and killing him instantly.

S2E7 0:12:06 Ten launches a female member of the Jokerz off of a big ass building. She falls probably six stories onto another member. Both die of horrific spinal and head injuries.

She is launched off of that top deck, the part surrounded by railing.

And lands like this.

Death toll after S2E7: 364


Well, another four episodes down and aside from a rampaging computer program and some good old fashioned Batmurder, it was a surprisingly quiet week or so in Gotham.

Most dangerous criminal thus far: Curaré still can't be beat.


Saddest death in part five: Probably all of the hapless people that died in bizarre accidents when all of the computers and electronics went nutty in Gotham. I mean, if you are going to be killed in Gotham, you might as well go down by the hands of some crazy super-villain or maybe even via Batmurder, not falling to your death shitting and screaming when the computer controlled elevator sends you plummeting into the lobby.
