     Yeah, but only in this version they took their own lives.

       … Due to the fact that the total awesome they’d seen made them feel they had experienced everything they needed to?

       I exaggerate, but the movie was awesome, from what I remember.

         I have fond memories of pointing out that Magneton (one of my favorites) not only was in the “look how ridiculously powerful Mewtwo is” montage, but was near the end, suggesting it must be one of the most impressive examples.

           I’m sure I would like the movie, but having seen Nostalgia Critic’s take on it, it is a horrible movie. I would like, and hate it.

           Which, as a kid, who has never seen this trope before, is totally awesome. I was crying when I first saw the movie.

   Prepare for trouble
   And make it double

   To wear green shorts that inspire pity
   To announce my name and breathe in space
   To keep breaking Jason’s memorial glass case

     The sad part is I can actually picture that animated with Batman just standing their brooding and Robin making zany poses in front of him.

   I shudder at reading this comic, but to be perfectly honest… I’ve got Pokemon White in my DS at this very moment.

    When I started collecting (as opposed to casually reading) comics, I was younger than Superboy.
    Now I’m not only older than any of the perpetually-30ish heroes, I’m older than the Golden Age Flash would have been when “Flash of Two Worlds” came out in 1961.
    Not as old as Dark Knight Batman, though.

    Heh. I cannot wait ’til I’m thirty now. Batman will grow up on TV shows such as Static Shock and Xiaolin Showdown. His BAMF-ness shall be ruined with horrible puns and clever wit!!!

      Doesn’t Static Shock take place in the same as the DCAU. Than again, the show was originally it’s own universe at 1st till it was retcon into being a part of the DCAU.

    That way of thinking only makes so much sense if you assume the same amount of time is passing in the comic and in real life. That would require the magazine being viewed as sort of a monthly diary which documents, say, the most important events of each month. Which becomes difficult when one event stretches out over more than one issue.
    Regardless, seeing all the elongating and flashbacks happen in action comics, it’s more likely that only a real small fragment of our time has passed in Batman’s universe since he was introduced to us. Of course, his age might still be frozen and his birthdate hence moved forward in time, but Ethan’s calculation doesn’t work out as it is.

    That said… these characters here have their own reality as well and don’t need to behave according to our logics. And the thesis is funny, if only for the punchline in the last panel.

    Not to say anything against this comic, but I could have sworn at least one storyline involved an aging Bruce Wayne retiring from being Batman. And then being rejuvenated by a Lazarus pit so he could fight crime again.

      There’s also the Batman Beyond continuity, wherein he is too old to go out and fight crime himself, so he makes himself the boss of another kid with a tragic parental death to his name, who takes over the Batman mantle from him.

      That one is set in a scifi future, though. So there’s that.
