Batman and Talia stopped the unseen Apocalypse of 09, and something caused Bruce to leave the Justice League.

Bruce Timm and co. Should have made the "Near Apocalypse of 09" into the final story Arc of JLU. That would have been dope seeing Batman going after Ra al Ghul one last time with the help of the JL, stopping the human race from extinction.

You can thank Bat-Embargo for that. One writer did say that the idea came up a few times and described a scene where Ra's has all of the Justice League layed out and then realizes someone is missing and he turns around to reveal Batman, (probably with a :birdman: face) standing right behind him. It sounded epic. Unfortunately the Embargo put the kibosh on it. A lot of the ideas that they were going to use were later used for the episode Destroyer.

I have been meaning to check out the Batman Beyond comics. For those that have been reading them, are they any good? And should I just start with Batman Beyond 2.0, or start with reading the earlier ones?

The 2010 mini series is very good and I suggest you find it breh. They bring back a lot of characters from B:TAS and JLU, explain what happened to a lot of characters and to Gotham in general during Bruce's retirement, and one of the big villains of the series was never even apart of the DCAU, but he's pretty well known to comic fans. If you're wanting to know who it is...

I hated the Bat-Embargo even though Timm and his group did a great job with other mostly-unknown characters (See: Question)

Black Manta's name being changed to Devil Ray :why:

And to bring it back to the topic of Batman Beyond the Mr. Freeze episode left me:to:

I remember watching the first aired episode on The WB back in 1999. Oh how time flies.
Same here. I also remember watching the 1st episodes of "Superman: the Animated Series" when it originally aired, it aired in Primetime.
that episode with nightwing and mr.freeze :banderas:
:wtf: I don't remember Nightwing/dikk Grayson ever being on the show.

Same here. I had to rewatch "Batman Beyond" as a young adult to fully appreciate the show

Man you cats were tough as kids LOL. I didn't care, if the show said "batman" "spider-man" or anything else, I was watching. No matter how much I love the previous show. Spider-Man went on and Spider-Man unlimited came on and I was right there with my bowl of cereal loving it. Batman went off Batman Beyond came out, made no difference to me

It's been years, bruh, but I remember reading it on the old Toon Zone forum which is now gone (:sadbron:). That's really all that they said about that particular issue. I also remember there as supposed to be another BB DTV movie where Catwoman returned in the future and it would be revealed that she cloned Batman and old Bat-villains like The Riddler would be getting bumped off. They decided not to do it after all o the shyt that they had to go through w/ ROTJ, but they eventually used that plot in Epilogue w/ Amanda Waller and Cadmus cloning Batman. I was able to find some things on that.
