Batman Beyond Futures End Aftermath Storyline Continuation

by ChalionX

This is a continuation of the Batman Beyond comics storyline that has been going on since the Future's End event. It is being written in the form of outlines for a comic book as that was the theoretic point of the exercise. What would I do with a run on Batman Beyond. My style evolved as I progressed, however I have decided to leave the earlier issues as is to show my progress.

1. Issue 1 and a summery of events so far

A brief summery of events leading up to issue #1:
In the unaltered future (original timeline), the Brother Eye AI has basically conquered the Earth. An old Bruce Wayne is enacting a plan to go back in time to try and correct this. The Batcave's defenses have to be dropped in order to charge the Time Band (time machine). Bruce is mortally wounded during the attack that comes from the defenses being lowered, so Bruce gives the band to his body guard, Terry McGinnis who has the Beyond suit. Terry goes back in time but because the Time Band was calibrated for Bruce and not Terry, Terry arrives 5 years later than was originally intended. The events of Future's End then happen and this Terry ends up being killed. Before dying he gives the Beyond suit to Tim Drake, who takes the suit and with a recharged and properly calibrated Time Band goes back in time to the Brother Eye satellite and changes history so the events that triggered the original bad timeline and the timeline he came from, never happen. Tim is then forcibly forced forward into the future to the same year that Terry originally came from but in this new timeline. In this new timeline Brother Eye has still taken over the planet, but there are several changes, such as: The invasion only happened a few years before as apposed to having happened decades before, Instead of a total take over, Neo-Gotham has survived thanks to a Veil, and while still powerful, Brother Eye isn't as powerful in this timeline. (Think Terminator, as Judgment day always happens but it can be pushed back and specific elements about it change). Tim, now Batman, eventually meets up with resistance fighters including Terry's brother Matt. Tim goes back to Neo-Gotham with them before leaving to go save resistance fighters from a work camp. The work camp rescue ends up turning into the final battle of the war where Tim ends up on the moon and destroys Brother Eye's main AI, ending the war. After the war it is eventually discovered that this timeline's Terry is still alive and has been brainwashed by Spellbinder to think he is Rewire. Terry is rescued and Tim gives him the Beyond suit before leaving Neo-Gotham and disappearing into a flash of light on a road that makes no sense. Terry becomes Batman again. This timeline's Bruce Wayne who was though dead in the opening of the war, is discovered alive. Terry gets a prototype suit that makes him go crazy and Damian Wayne is shown to be the new leader of the League of Assassins. Throughout the whole run of the book, it has been building to the point of Matt becoming the new Robin and he eventually does. My stuff starts soon after he becomes Robin.

Batman and Robin Beyond. Issue 1:
Focuses on Terry and Matt getting used to being partners in the field while tracking down a stolen truck filled with Low-Background Steel (is used for Medical equipment). They start by looking for clues on the recently recovered cargo ship that had been found adrift at sea by the, Neo-Gotham City Reclamation Corps. (NGCRC). They end up finding evidence that someone from the NGCRC is responsible and after finding and interrogating them they tie them up and go to where his accomplices are hiding out. There is a short fight. Batman and Robin capture them and return the steel. Matt impresses Terry during the fight and comments that he is still surprise how well he handles himself in the field, Matt slightly annoyed reminds Terry that he fought in the resistance.
