Could (older) Maribat work for Batman Beyond?
I have a question to the Maribat fandom, has an AU based on Batman Beyond been done? And I'm not talking Marinette in Terry's time during Marinette's teen years, but as an adult.
I'm watching Return to the Joker (all time favorite animated superhero movie for me) and the question came out of nowhere for me. I got the urge to watch again after seeing a "Where is/what happened to Dick/Nightwing in Batman Beyond?" video in my Youtube recommendations.
Been trying to figure out a kind of timeline to figure out who could work with this. You see the Nightwing uniform in one displays of the Hero suits, but Barbara mentions that Dick left to another city so Dick is still alive at least. And I'm guessing that this is during a time when Jason stays dead, since I didn't notice the Red Hood outfit.
I vaguely remember being told that Terry was related to Bruce in Batman Beyond, but it was basically through scientific means. I remember when I looked up Damian, Terry was listed as a "relative" and in a Trivia section, he was listed as a "prototype" for Damian in a sense. I used a fanmade wiki I think and there was like three different ones so I don't know how true this is.
I think this is supposed to be an alternative universe to I guess what is "canon" in Batman comics/cartoons/etc. So then I was thinking how could you fit an adult Marinette into this universe since it could be an AU. Make it a Timinette (despite Tim being married and having a family) or an AU where Marinette is biologically Bruce's daughter? Honestly Terry reminds me of Fanon Jason in Maribat fics so then my brain was like "Hey, why not make Terry a Jasonette kid?!"
To me, Terry looks like Fanon Jason, but minus the white streak in his hair. I mainly blame the jacket... And like I said, his personality makes me think of Jason.
Now I tried to figure out if this could work as a Daminette but... I couldn't really see it and I was trying to be different.
Here were some ideas I had:
- A Jasonette where Terry is possibly their kid, where Jason and Terry know of the Kwamis/Miraculous
- Marinette as a Wayne kid and maybe helps Terry out in secret
- Timinette where Marinette has been helping Tim recover and helps prevent Joker with the Kwamis
- Maybe a Daminette where the Miraculous Box is kept in the Wayne Manor and Damian gets a Kwami in adition to becoming the new Batman
- Terry becoming a Miraculous holder by accident or where he is trained to be a Guardian
Really I'm just trying to mainly figure out or rather just discuss how Marinette could fit into a Batman Beyond AU. Batman Beyond has always been my favorite since it felt so different when I was a kid, and hell, I'm a sucker for the Red and Black suit instead.
By the way, would Marinette at least appreciate Terry's suit in looks as in like "It's better than the Old Batsuits and Robin Batsuits" or would she be "NOT AGAIN! DAMMIT BRUCE!! I TOLD YOU TO LET ME HANDLE THE SUIT DESIGNING!!" Honestly I think she would probably hate the suit and maybe the aesthetics. But then again, red is her color as Ladybug...
