No Dick Grayson AU

Alfred convinces Tatsu Yamashiro(Katana) and Dinah Lance(Black Canary) to join Batman's crusade when it starts getting difficult for him to handle crime on his own. Katana brings Barbara Gordon into the fold as Oracle because Barbara is determined to help the vigilantes.

A few years later, Bruce joins the Justice League(Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, Cyborg, and Green Lantern). Dinah moves to Star City, and Katana disappears. Barbara starts to join Batman on patrols.

About a year later, Batman brings Jason Todd home. Jason tries to join Batman as a vigilante, but Bruce, Alfred, and Barbara convince him to wait until he's an adult. Bruce agrees to train him until then.

Jason starts helping Barbara with coms, Alfred with making sure they have the medbay fully stocked, and Bruce and Lucius with Wayne Enterprise Charities. Jason, as the top student, graduates a year early(age 16/17 since his b-day's in march) and goes on a world tour for extra training. He gets sucked into training with the League of Assassins, but leaves rather quickly via Talia tossing him to the All-Caste since Bruce knows where he is. He returns to Gotham as the vigilante Flamebat as a nod to his All-Blades and the dark red and black costume he created. As the All-Blades don't harm any non-magical being, he normally uses them when he wants to be dramatic or particularly threatening.

Barbara does get shot by Joker before Jason goes on tour and loses the ability to walk.

Steph also appears (at 15) on the vigilante scene briefly, but is talked out of it by Barbara and disappears for a while. When she gets back she decides to go out as Spoiler. When the others are unable to convince her to wait until she's at least 17 to start being a vigilante, Cass (as she's about 1 year older) is declared to be her patrol partner. (this happens just before Jason leaves)

Cass shows up a bit after Steph does. She's found by Barbara and is convinced to wait until she's at least 17 to start vigilantism. Bruce adopts her pretty quickly and gives her the tools to figure out who she is without the violence of being an assassin or a vigilante.

About a year after Jason returns, Damian (age 10) appears in the Bat's lives. He continuously sneaks out of the manor to prove that he's worthy and ready to become a vigilante and follow in his father's footsteps.

When Bruce disappears, Jason takes on the responsibilities of being Batman and CEO of Wayne Enterprise. Cass and Alfred take on the role of being Damian's primary caretakers. Tim figures out that Bruce is still alive after getting "lost" in Wayne Manor during a gala, and leaves an anonymous tip about it for the Bats to find. (Tim doesn't know that they're the Bats, just that somehow Bruce ended up in the past.)

After Bruce comes back, things mostly go back to how they were before. Except, they catch wind of a group of child vigilantes. Beast Boy (age 13), Blue Beetle (14), Impulse (16), and Raven (13). When interrogated, the adult heroes find out that: Beast Boy had joined a group called the Doom Patrol and been with them since he was 11 but left because of conflicting morals, then run into Raven and Impulse; Blue Beetle had been doing superhero stuff for a few months before he ran into the other three; Raven had been picked up by Beast Boy while running from a cult that wanted to use her to summon a demon; and Impulse is the one who pulled the group together to help prevent a future event from happening. Not knowing exactly what to do with the group of child heroes, they put Kon (aka Superboy; 17) and Spoiler (18) in charge of the group that's now called Young Justice.

Around half a year later, Damian(11 almost 12) joins the group along with Jon (Superboy; 12).

They also find out somewhere along the way that Billy Batson was 10 years old when he started superhero-ing.

Changing some things the Murphyverse

I have such mixed feelings about the White Knight Universe/Murphyverse, and I wanted to share some things I wish hadn't happened or had been altered in some way.

Make Harley and Batman's romance the priority. This is the ONE universe where they become a couple, and it's ridden with "I feel guilty because I feel responsible for your husband/I'm like an uncle to your kids." Just let them be happy. I'd probably remove the aspect where Jack goes after Harley, and some of his crusade against Batman is driven by that, furthering Harley's belief that he just wants to own her--and perhaps own Batman. Perhaps in this case, Harley's twins are conceived with Bruce.

2. Remove the demonization of Batman in "The White Knight" comics. I'm SO TIRED of the "Batman has gone too far/lost his way" arc; at this point I feel like DC just does it to show that he's edgy. Dick turning against him in particular was frustrating to me.

3. Make Tim the only Robin. I was kinda frustrated how Tim was shown in a brief panel, but not ever mentioned in the world, from what I recall. As a Tim Drake fan, I'd enjoy if this AU took the opportunity to make him the only Robin. Dick would grow up happily with his family and be acquainted with Bruce Wayne, who attended his shows and became like an uncle to him, and Jason would be a former Joker apprentice (twisted, I know), only to leave, either because Joker tortured him and used him as bait for Batman, or he simply became disillusioned with him, similar to Harley. I know on Prime Earth, Tim was inspired to join following Dick's legacy as Robin and Jason's death as Robin. In my mind, Tim would craft the identity on his own after deducing Batman's identity, noticing the emotional, physical, and psychological damage it's doing to Batman (since the years he spent with Dick and Jason are now retconned as extra solo years).

4. Terry never steals the batsuit, or he steals it and it's revoked from him. I always hate the "they committed a crime, but since it's for the right reason, it gets to slide." Perhaps Tim is involved in this, and originally crafts the suit for himself, only to realize that even if he wanted to have a new identity, he doesn't want it to be a copy of Bruce's, and gives it to Terry.

The Adventures/New Adventures of Batman (The successor to Batman '66 and precursor to Superfriends)

[All images are owned by DC Comics and Filmation. I promise I'm too poor to sue]

I had previously mentioned that The New Scooby Doo Movies was the Hanna-Barbera debut of Batman and Robin prior to the debut of Superfriends. However, there were two animated series starring the Caped Crusader prior to Crisis, both produced by Filmation.

(Thanks to Near Mint Fanboys)

Following the cancellation of Batman, National Publications (soon to be known as DC Comics) wanted to keep the Caped Crusader on the kids' minds (sales of the comic soared during the TV series, after all), so green lit an animated series based on the Dynamic Duo

What's more, this marked the first time Olan Soule and Casey Kasem as the voices of Batman and Robin. They would reprise the roles both for the Scooby Doo crossover and Superfriends (Kasem would continue as Robin for The Super Powers Team, while Soule would be replaced by Adam West), and if the narrator sounds familiar, it'd because he's Ted Knight, who also narrated the first season of Superfriends.

Of course we have Batman and Robin (their animation a bit simplistic compared to how they'd look a few years later), and it's weird seeing Soule's Batman getting his hands dirty (though you never actually see Batman or Robin actually hit anyone; they just throw a punch at the camera and then another shot of their dance partner flying backward)

But the Caped Crusaders aren't alone in their Never Ending Battle...

Of course Batman has the ever-dependable Alfred

Additionally, Batgirl joins the Masked Manhunters in animation.

Additionally, we have a rather young-looking Commissioner Gordon.

In addition, all of Batman's villains join him in animation to cause havoc in Gotham City, but I mainly want to discuss the Joker...

In the comics and in the Adam West series, the Joker's hair was turned green (a result of the chemical bath he took that started his career). However, the producers thought it looked "too unnatural", instead making the Joker's hair black with a streak of green that looked TOTALLY natural!

The series was paired with a Superman series, each half an hour long and airing two adventures.

In 1977, in the middle of Superfriends' run, Filmation ran a second Batman series...

youtube

(Thanks to BATMAN ON FILM)

Yes, those are Adam West and Burt Ward reprising their iconic roles in voice form.

In addition...

Batgirl once again joins the Dynamic Duo to make a Terrific Trio

And joining the team is Bat Mite, a visitor from the 5th Dimension (the same one Myxlplyx is from), and much like Myxlplyx he has "magic" powers that can warp reality. In the comics, Bat Mite wants to see his hero in action so amps up the difficulty, but in the series, he seems to want to help, but is as successful with his powers as Orko is with his magic (maybe Orko's from the same dimension? He definitely used the same voice actor!)

Additionally, Commissioner Gordon looks a lot more like comic fans would expect.

Now, let's talk about the villains. They're all here again (and Joker still has that weird green highlight) with one exception: The rights to the Riddler were given to Hanna-Barbera for Challenge of the Superfriends, so he doesn't appear (despite being in the opening credits).

A pity, because I was hoping he'd explain why he changed the color of his outfit from green to red.

And this being Filmation, there has to be a moral at the end of the episode.

Like most Saturday morning fare, both series lasted only one season. If you would like to see an episode of either reviewed, let me know!
