  • @IAmImprintJones

    Big love to you Arris for the Ace drop in Batman Beyond, he was ALWAYS a favorite without question ESPECIALLY in the beginning where he and Terry didn't get along only for them to become bffs later and in return of the joker to see how much he cares about Bruce especially helping both guys with the attack of the joker and his minions. And big love to Johnson, Hart, kransinski, Reeves, and even the GOAT Kevin Conroy for making this first major cgi dc animated movie in theatres feel super fun. Well see how this rivals into the spiderverse. I'm glad both companies still find value in animation on a major motion picture LEVEL amidst ALL the live action continuity madness.

  • @FoxxyFire-HellFrost
    @FoxxyFire-HellFrost 2 года назад +11

    Ace has his own origin episode in Batman Beyond. It's different, but still really good. It also shows how much Ace means to Bruce as, when he goes missing, Bruce is extremely worried about where he went. In most of the series, he is very cynical and acts like Ace isn't as important to him as he actually is. Only once he comes home does he express how happy he is that Ace came home safe thanks to Terry.

    1:09 Technically, Clark’s dog in Smallville was named Shelby, and served as more of a reference to Krypto. Regardless, this was still an interesting explanation of the origins for both dogs.

    It’s worth noting the modern origin for Ace might’ve also been influenced by his origin in Batman: Beyond where ace was an illegal animal fighting ring dog owned by a shady gangster that escaped. Later becoming the dog of an elderly Bruce Wayne after Ace saved him from a clown street punk trying to rob him.
    The parallels of both versions of Ace being dogs with bad/evil owners used for shady purposes before being adopted by Batman are there and I wouldn’t be surprised if the similarities weren’t entirely coincidental.

There’s alot you can do with a space dog that has all the powers of Superman, but what can you do with what’s just a dog in a mask? Hell why even give a dog a mask? Just have Ace be Bruce Wayne’s pet guard dog and bam he’s part of the DC continuity.
