bendi ndikhunjuzwa sisiza I-CBR ukuba, kwiintsuku ezimbalwa, iyakuba sisikhumbuzo seminyaka engamashumi amabini Batman ngaphaya I-premiere: ngoJanuwari 10, 1999, xa ndandineminyaka emithandathu ubudala, ndineenyanga nje ezimbalwa ukusuka kwisixhenxe, kwaye ndisemtsha kwindalo yonke kaBatman.
Ulutsha oluyiBatman mhlawumbi yinto enokugcwalisa abantu abaninzi ngenkwantye. Ngapha koko, ngokwe-CBR, nantsi indlela i-DC legend uBruce Timm ayichaza ngayo impendulo yakhe yokuqala:
[T] nantsi into ibikhathaza into yokuba uBatman ebesandul 'ukujikeleza ixesha elide, nokuba ujonge ngokutsha nayo yonke into. Imiboniso iyenzile ngenene, ilungile kakhulu, kodwa [ii-WB execs] zaziziva ngathi kudala sikhwele kuloliwe, kwaye bekukho nenkxalabo yokuba umboniso ubushukuma umdala kancinci kunokuba bebezakwenza Ndiyayithanda, kuba intengiso ijolise ebantwaneni. Ke babethetha nje ngeendlela zokuhlaziya umboniso kwaye, ewe, amagama athi 'ulutsha lukaBatman' lwavela -'Ngaba ikhona indlela esinokuthi singenise ulutsha kwisuti yeBatman? 'Kwaye, ewe, eyethu yokuqala Ukuphendula kwakothusa. 'Ulutsha iBatman? Aaaah !!! '
Nangona kunjalo, xa ucinga ukuba uBruce Wayne, ngeendlela ezininzi, ngumntu okhubazekileyo ngokweemvakalelo, ukumfaka endaweni yokufikisa ayisiyonto ilula kangako, kwaye xa ucinga ukuba silubonile uthotho lolutsha luthatha ingubo kaRobin Ingqondo yokuba ekugqibeleni, umntwana okwishumi elivisayo angaphela eyiBat ngokwakhe. I-Timm igqibile ukubeka ukuba uthotho luyakwenzeka kwikamva, kwaye ixesha elingamashumi amane lokutsiba lavumela ukwenziwa komlinganiswa omtsha, uTerry McGinnis.
Kumdlalo, uTerry ngumntu owayekade eyinjubaqa owabeka nje obu bomi emva kwakhe, xa, njengayo yonke imovie, ubomi bakhe bujikwa xa efika kwicala elibi leJokerz, iqela lemigulukudu elijongela iJoker . Ubakhokelela ngaphandle kwesixeko kwaye bakhubeke kwindawo kaWayne Manor.
UBruce, mdala kakhulu kwaye usandula ukuthatha umhlala-phantsi njengoBatman, ubetha iJoker. Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yokuba enokuba engama-70 ngoku, uyawa sisifo sentliziyo. UTerry unceda uBruce abuyele ekhayeni lakhe, kodwa uyakhubeka kwi-Batcave. (Yeka ukuvumela ulutsha ukuba lungene endlwini yakho, uBruce.) UTerry uphoselwa ngaphandle kwaye ubuyela ekhaya ukuya kufumanisa ukuba utata wakhe ubulewe liqela lemigulukudu ngokuziphindezela.
UBruce, ebona umntwana oqaqanjelwe yimpindezelo, uthatha uTerry phantsi kwephiko lakhe kwaye ambumbe kwiBatman yeli xesha litsha.
Ngaphandle kokufana komzali ofileyo, amandla amakhulu umboniso wayenokwenza ukuba uTerry ahluke kuBruce. Wayemdala xa efumana le meko, oko kuthetha ukuba wayeneendlela ezingcono zokujongana nayo. Ulahlekelwe ngutata wakhe kodwa ebesenomama kunye nomntakwabo omncinci. Wayenalo neqela lentlalontle: intombi yakhe, uDana Tan, kunye nomhlobo wakhe osenyongweni, uMaxine Max Gibson.
U-Old Bruce naye wayengumlinganiswa obalaseleyo kuba siye sabona iziphumo ezingapheliyo zokuziphatha okungathandekiyo kukaBruce, okushiya indoda endala engenabahlobo kodwa inja yakhe, i-Ace. Ulahlekelwe ngabo bonke abafazi abakhe wabathanda-uZatanna, uSelina, uLois, uBarbara (gross), kunye noTalia-abahlobo bakhe abasekho, kwaye usapho lwakhe lokwenyani, u-Alfred, kudala wafa. UBruce udinga uBatman ukuba aphile, kwaye engasakwazi ukwenza lo msebenzi ngokwasemzimbeni, ubudlelwane bakhe noTerry bumnika umbono ohlaziyiweyo wazo zombini iinjongo kunye nokuhlangana kwabantu.
Umboniso omtsha ugcine ithoni enzulu ye Batman: Uthotho lweeVidiyo , nangona ngokuqinisekileyo izamile ukutsala ulutsha isihlwele, ngakumbi kumaxesha alandelayo, kodwa oko kwakungathethi ukuba asinakuba nalo nelizwi eliphantsi losizi eligqugqisa indalo ye-Bat-ukusuka ku-Terry ukuphulukana noyise ukuya kwisiphelo esibuhlungu somboniso kuMnu Freeze, isiqendu samaQhawe ( ebonelela ngohlobo olumnyama ngokwenene lweZine eziMangalisayo), kwaye ke, ngokuqinisekileyo, zilungile Ukubuya kweJoker Umboniso bhanyabhanya, onika uTim Drake elinye lawona mabali mabali amabi kwindalo yonke.
Oko I-Justice League ukujija, nangona kunjalo, ndiseneemvakalelo ezixubekileyo malunga nanamhlanje. Kwisiqendu i-Epilogue, kwavezwa ukuba uTerry ngunyana kaBruce Wayne, kuba uAmanda Waller wagqiba kwelokuba kusoloko kufuneka ukuba kubekho uBatman. Wathatha i-DNA kaBatman (kuba wayishiya yonke indawo) kwaye wasebenzisa isayensi yexesha elizayo ukubhala kwakhona i-DNA kaWarren McGinnis ukwenza uTerry (kunye nomntakwabo) abantwana beBruce Wayne.
Wayeza kufumana UAndrea Beaumont ukubulala abazali bakaTerry xa wayesemncinci, njengoBruce, kodwa uBeaumont wala.
Kwakukuncinci kakhulu… ubunzima obungafunekiyo bendinikwa incasa yam, ngakumbi kuba ayiyiyo nje ibhayoloji eyenza ukuba umntu abe ngumzali wakho, kwaye kubonakala ngathi iyakucima noko uWarren wayekuko kuTerry, kodwa akuyongozi kwilifa lomboniso kunye nendlela uTerry ukwazile ukuba ungaze ube kwisithunzi sikaBruce njengomlinganiswa. Sade sabona, kwixa elizayo, ukuba uxelele uDana malunga nokuba ungubani kwaye wayecebe ukucebisa-into uBruce ngekhe ayenze.
Batman ngaphaya yayisisikhumbuzo esihle sokuba awunyanzelekanga ukuba uvumele abalinganiswa ukuba bahlale bebancinci ngonaphakade okanye uhlala ubahlaziya kwakhona ukuze ugcine uBruce Wayne kwiBatsuit-okanye naliphi na elinye iqhawe kubo. Kukho ixabiso lokuba nabalinganiswa bobudala kwaye udlulisele kwizizukulwana ezitsha kwiiyunivesithi ezithile, ngakumbi umlinganiswa onjengoBatman, onezona zipho zibalaseleyo zilele kwingqondo yakhe.
Ndiyamthanda nokuba uTerry amele inyani yokuba, ngelixa uBatman ehlala eyimbonakaliso yokoyika izaphuli-mthetho zaseGotham, amandla kaBatman akalali nje kukubandezeleka, kodwa kubuchule bokwakha ubudlelwane obutsha. UTerry ulungile kuba akanguye uBatman. Akayi kuvumela isuti ibe bubomi bakhe bonke; uzakuba nabahlobo kunye nobudlelwane kwaye abe ngumntu wakhe ngaphandle kwesuti.
Ndingathanda ukubona uTerry McGinnis kwindalo ephilayo, kodwa kude kube lelo xesha, sinamaxesha amathathu amangalisayo kamabonakude kunye nengoma yomxholo we-badass.
Ngawaphi amanye amaxesha owathandayo asukelayo UBatman ngaphaya?
