Curaré - All Scenes | Batman Beyond

[@visidenvisidane1155]

I like that she makes the effort to avoid killing anyone who isn’t her target. Now, that’s professional.

[@MegaMaster1021]

Professionals have standards

[@evgeniblanchard675]

Or just censor since killing people was and still is a big no no in all public super hero series.

[@mikevignola4213]

The mark of a professional would be that no one knew she was even there. She has moments where she sneaks around very competently, and then she goes full berserker and gives up on stealth entitely.

RULES OF NATURE moment

[@Mister_K-J]

5:29 - Has the reflexes to hang with an assassin who's fast enough to dodge/block bullets, but can't do anything about an obvious weapon being casually flicked at him. Also, her commitment to not killing anyone but her target is great. Says a lot about who she is without her having to say anything.

[@ozymandiasramesses1773]

Except for the people she pushed off a speeding train. We can chalk that up to them just having bad footing though.

[@Mister_K-J]

@@ozymandiasramesses1773 Fair point.

[@paulhunter6742]

That was part of Code for League of Assassins. Only kill person your assigned to eliminate. And failure to do this means you become targeted. Which reason why Curare' has no options but wipe out League itself.

[@svscared]

Yeah I thought it was pretty lame how easily these assassins were taken down by her considering how advanced they're supposed to be.

Blue skin? Insane acrobatic abilities? A sword that cuts through anything and deflects lasers? Was Curare a Jedi in a previous life?

Her backstory in the Batman Beyond comics is neat. She grew up in a monastery wanting to leave with her brother who would become the new Green Lantern (featured in the Justice League two-parter) but was banished after trying to rig the vote for successor and underwent a transformation at another monastery into what she is now.

Those are some powerful legs if she can break your spine with them alone. Gives the word "mission" in "missionary" more meaning.

[@shanelogan630]

A big part of womens self defense and martial arts training is that where men have more strength in the arms generally speaking, the womens strongest are in the thighs. A woman whose conditioned could easily do it but even without training and more likely she would cut off your oxygen supply or cause nerve damage that could potentially lead to paralysis. Never mind if a woman got her legs around your neck. Also could be easily use to break the arms and legs at the joints.

It’s amazing having so much violence that’s all non lethal

[@jameswoodard4304]

Only by having people be suddenly incompetent when needed. Apparently even a super assassin with a ridiculously powerful sword can't stab a girl right in front of her but somehow hits the ottoman instead and has to chase her through the apartment like a cheesy slasher villain long enough for help to arrive. Also, it requires the opponents of anyone you're trying to make look cool to suddenly come down with the same infirmity as all stormtroopers or any A-Team villain. If you show thousands of shots missing a single target, that's not the target being good. That's grade A plot armor and a healthy dose of PG limited-violence-allowance.

[@paulhunter6742]

If Curar'e made contact with any part of Mcginnis batsuit, he would lost a limp. Which means his reflexes are increasingly fast.

[@branhun]

It's interesting how a decades old animated series has some better cinematography and direction than modern hollywood movies

[@SobiTheRobot]

Both _The Animated Series_ and _Beyond_ pull a lot of inspiration from classic film noir; and in Beyond's case, that evolves into cyberpunk which itself pulls from noir.

[@FFKonoko]

That's nothing to do with "modern". It's a very good show and was very good at the time too.

I loved watching this show when I was young, and it still holds up today. The only thing that I found weird upon rewatching was the fact that Curare doesn't have a sheath for her sword--she literally carries it everywhere she goes. Sounds like a pain in the booty, but maybe the show directors thought it would look cooler that way

[@hrodga]

Maybe the idea was that the sword was too sharp to be sheathed?

[@shockwave6213]

7:14 I love how they did an evolutionary display of WW2 German tanks in the scene here. They could have used the same vehicle in all 4 slots, but instead, they actually drew detailed models of a Panzer 4, Tiger, Tiger 2 and a Panther.

[@codafett]

I always liked Curare, probably my favorite villain after Inque.

[@KingBobXVI]

Not really related to anything in the sequence, but the shot at 7:13 has some pretty amazing attention to detail for historical accuracy - the tanks in the background are all different, and real models of German WWII tanks that can be identified by relatively subtle features, I think a Pz IV with side skirts (to protect against certain anti-tank rounds), a Tiger I, a Tiger II (King Tiger), and a Panther. Wouldn't usually expect that, but mad props to the background team for even thinking to do that (and/or being military history nerds enough to do it, haha). edit: heh, and a couple scenes later, a Messerschmitt of some kind (don't know planes as well), the Red Baron's tri-wing, a B-29 bomber (maybe?) and an SR-71, and then an F117 Nighthawk. And I guess a generic rocket or two. Someone had some fun with these.

nice touch with barbara throwing one of the batarangs

[@crazyman7671]

For those interested, she unsurprisingly breaks out of Police custody, but Bruce tells Terry not to worry as she now has bigger problems of facing her benefactors after failing her mission. It then shows her driving a stolen Police car only for another blade to pierce the car and her give a very worried, almost even scared, look before the credits roll

[@joffrecordan]

All these bits are great, but for no good reason I really love when Batman throws the bolas at her. She's been doing lightning fast sword swings this whole time, but with nothing but eyes, she expresses annoyance, and her body language, the slow cut of the rope over the course of like a full second as if trying to re-assess just how stupid the new enemy is.

[@metaemperor]
