A television episode received the darkest Batman

It was published in the 13th issue of “Batman Beyond” Comic, “Fear Commissioner” made by Hilary J. Bader and was drawn by Min S. Ku. Badr had previously written on “New Batman Adventures”, and although “Over the Edge” was not one of her salary (written by Paul Dini), her experience still explains the reason for your choice to follow this episode.

In the story, Barbara works on the kidnapping issue. While chasing the suspect through the roofs of homes (remember, it is He was Batgirl, it is overcome with fear of falling, remember how she “died” in the nightmare of the scarecrow. It turned out that Toxin’s fear of scarecrow did not leave its system completely, and every four or five years, suffers from hallucinations and panic.

Therefore, Barbara turns into Terry (which she usually does not trust), and fills him with the events of “Over the Edge” and asked to help him save the kidnapped little girl. In the end, they track the kidnappers to a building site, but the height leads to Barbara’s fear. When Terry tries to reassure her that Batman protects her, her important position towards him comes out: “You are not, as you know. You will never be.”

But when the kidnapper, Sweeini Thompson, makes Barbara’s fear come true and divorce it from the building, Terry turns and saves it.

DC Caricature

The episode ends a lot like “Over The Edge”, waking Barbara in Batcave with Batman (but this time Terry, not Bruce) next to it.

“The Power of Fear” is a good reading of “Batman Beyond” and DC Confere Confere. “Over the Edge” is definitely an episode that these fans remember, so it has a long -term effect on Barbara logically; It is an important and popular episode Get supplement.

Barbara accepts Terry in the role of Batman, as she does at the end of this story, is also an important rhythm of their characters. But while the “Commissioner of Fear” is strong enough that it could have been a real “Batman Beyond” episode, it is very similar to the “eyewitnesses” episode. In that story, the villain Spellbinder puts Barbara in Hilassa and makes her believe that Batman killed a criminal. It seems that her lack of confidence in McGinnis confirmed, Batman puts a required Gotham.

“The Commissioner of Fear” is a literal supplement for “Over the Edge”, but “eyewitnesses” is my soul, and he put Babara in the role that she was afraid that her father would play once.
