Melanie was one of the coolest characters in Batman Beyond, had the show not been cancelled, she would’ve been the perfect ‘Selina Kyle’ type to Terry’s Batman.

[@somedude7221]

Absolutely, it really makes me sad because the potential was all there. She was a really fleshed out character that I feel like could have been turned into a heroine down the line.

@@DougieYT Actually Bruce already did see himself and Selina in Terry and Melaine.

This show is hella underrated. And Melanie is prolly one of the most well written villains I've seen in DC Cartoons. The writers actually gave her a better life instead of keeping her stuck in the criminal life and that's such a nice touch to her character.

[@KaiserAfini]

She was really likeable. She was working hard to build an honest living and truly cared for Terry. But she could not turn her back on her family and that was used to pull her back to a life of crime. It was very satisfying to see her win a small victory by giving Jack a second chance, too bad he wasted it in the comics.

[@petercelano7057]

@cartoonistlouis773 True. But sometimes being forced into a life of crime isn’t the same as choosing the path of it. Melanie was forced into a life of crime because of her parents.

[@slewone4905]

she repented, unlike any of Batman's villains.

[@justsomeguywithagoatee8337]

I wish Batman convinced more of his villains to repent. But you couldn't really reuse the assets if you rehabilitated them or killed them off.

[@animequeendrawer]

I wish Melanie had more time. What I liked about her was how she had a convinces about right and wrong. And when she finally saw how her parents truly saw her that was enough for her to separate from them and really think about what something of a life. I was glad that at least she got to keep her brother Jack. Plus, her words: "I got you a job. A REAL job...that is if you don't mind washing dishes." You got to start somewhere I hope her life is better, heck I think she should have been the new Catwoman in Batman Beyond.

[@nillynush4899]

Maybe it was something planned on but never fettered out. She does have the Bat/Cat dynamic mirrored pretty well. She's able to take the lead with Terry as a man, but also known to and at odds with his alter-ego Batman. Shame it just kindov fizzles out quick.

[@Oblivion___]

Why should she be Catwoman from Batman Beyond? For starters, she as a person is way better than Selina.

[@Thalanox]

@@Oblivion___ She's in his rogues gallery as a thief who is also a love interest.

[@Oblivion___]

@@Thalanox This could literally be any villain of any hero, not exclusive to Catwoman. And Catwoman just sucks, any other villain could replace her in that role. Leaving Melanie as a copy of Selina would only diminish her character, an eternal thief with no purpose except to flirt with the hero, while the hero becomes a idiot and lets her get away every time, that's ridiculous, it just diminishes both characters.. Melanie once served the trope of being the thief in love with the hero, and overcame it, redeemed herself and became a good person and helped her brother, that's a hundred times better than being stuck in an eternal, meaningless cycle that will never go anywhere.

What I love about the relationship between Terry and Melanie is that Terry has to carry a lot of guilt and burden silently to help Melanie. He can’t reveal his identity to her, and as a result, she feels abandoned by him. Terry can only really help her as Batman, so he can’t be in a romantic relationship with her without revealing his identity as Batman. It’s a great relationship that helps to flush out many of the flaws to being a masked hero.

[@pyrus0zero]

I feel like she would have been a better partner for Terry then Dana. Not only could she handle herself in dangerous situations instead of the normal damsel in destress. Plus in the comics, they are actually together and fight crime together. She’s basically Terry’s version of cat woman.

[@chrisbullard5901]

Terry’s big mistake was not telling Dana, his friends, and his mom “Mister Wayne gave me more hours, it’s late nights, but it helps with the bills and it’s setting me up for a career.” That being said, Melanie or Chelsea would be a better fit for Terry. Chelsea because of “The Last Resort”, where unlike Dana, she both sees and appreciates Terry’s heroic side. Melanie, because despite everything that’s happened, she would understand (and would probably piece together) all the weird hours and last minute complications involved with Bruce. Max isn’t the only one who could put the pieces together, so it comes down to who is long-term material and who could accept Terry’s extracurriculars?

[@frogturtle]

I like how her costume design seemed kinda friendly and unassuming compared to the others in her family who had sharper and “meaner” silhouettes. It really made her seem more neutral in a way

Well, in the Batman Beyond comics, Jack went back to his criminal ways and crowned himself the new King of the Royal Flush Gang, and Terry/Batman, Melanie and even King/Dad teamed up to take Jack down. And later on, Terry and Melanie got together as a couple after Terry and Dana broke up for good.

I agree. I'm glad she still had her brother & they went straight. It was different from what they had, but not necessarily a worse 1.

Man I miss this show. Batman Beyond felt like nearly every episode had a strong emotion to it and a lesson with it. We've all met a girl like Melanie. Not really friends but not really in a relationship, just living in the moment. Like the chemistry just clicked and was wholesome. Always back and forth but in a passive way and how things would fall apart passively and come together just as it was. I was with that with a certain girl who I couldn't just say no to whenever she would want to come back. It felt like it would never end, when she told me she didn't want to be that way again. But few weeks later she would change her mind as we would always be in the loop for year.

9:59 “I guess I don’t exist to him either.” E M O T I O N A L D A M A G E ! !

[@jaccano6607]

I love how they did her hair and I just like how she grew up as a criminal and Terry has a record, going to a juvenile detention center, but had a second chance to change. Looked like she was doing the same as an waitress at a restaurant, even involving her sibling

[@RAMDCREATOR]

2:35 Oh yeah, the dramatic run to your lover secen. With the generic 80s music in the background, nice. Slow the video down, and you have a classic.

[@johnypanta6208]

Melanie/10 was to Terry what Selina was to Bruce...this feels so tragically wholesome ❤️

[@omarcogle1965]

Would you say Melanie was the mix between Selina Kyle and Andrea Beaumont?

[@izzyalistair]

Omg I'm obsessed with her voice

[@Triggamann_LastDragon]

The whole concept behind beyond was just amazing best out of all bat shows except Batman Animation series when dick Grayson became night wing

[@ace9924]

They honestly should've brought back Dick in the Show or at least the movie but the movie wouldn't work because Robin wouldn't have been kidnapped and tortured if Dick was there since he would patrol gotham with Dick at night.

[@zeebooboo9663]

I had a huge crush on her when I was a little kid. She was probably the first lady I saw in TV that made me realize my attraction to them. Also found her character to be really sad and sympathetic

[@Wykletypl]

05:56-05:57 the cut between these two scenes in the actual episode make one think they actually did that in the meantime...

[@suleymanbabak1973]

Nah, they probably watched a movie and played go fish.

[@swordmaster009]

They definitely smashed.

[@GhostFan4Life]

Oh they definitely fucked, my friend.

[@Touma134]

Man she got some eyes on her. This art in general something about it really makes the eyes pop out at you. Very intense but cool effect.

[@shawnleonidas]

I hope one day we get a live action Batman Beyond and this love story can be told than explored more. I believe she is the one he ends up with.

[@danielcarrera886]

No in a JLU episode called epilogue he ends up with his normal girlfriend Which I didn’t like I never felt like they had that much chemistry with each other Like it was just a high school crush kind of thing

[@shawnleonidas]

@@danielcarrera886 damn that sucks!! Yea their chemistry to me was always off. His girlfriend was so unlikeable to me. I wanted him to end up with Melanie or the girl who was side kick with the shirt pink hair. I can’t remember her name atm.

[@danielcarrera886]

@@shawnleonidas I think her name was was Max. And I agree even them they had more chemistry then him and his actual girlfriend

[@shawnleonidas]

@@danielcarrera886 yes that’s definitely was her name

[@ericclements6418]

The last batman beyond comics i read Terry and Melanie were together and she found out he was batman.

[@daltondavidson7997]

I gotta admit. There’s never been a better name for a character’s love interest than 10 lol

[@BLACKSTA361]

Shes definitely a 10 so

[@aimlovesmusic1469]

3:01 this is where the audio comes from omg

[@lordjavathe3rd]

wow, that girl is a gravity well of attention.

[@TheNewAWay]

Man I love this character honestly I do wish that they can bring something back with Batman Beyond

[@faizanrizvi3662]

Division of colors portrays the division of thoughts about her action, her life and the choices she is making

Voting in for Drew Saturday, the flaming mom

[@josephemeraldt3350]

Man I loved watching Batman beyond. I’m not a big super hero fan but I really enjoyed this version of Batman.

[@mikeg4691]

I'm surprised there hasn't been a Batman Beyond movie yet. Great series.

[@suicidalmemer3353]

Are you considering the return of the joker movie ?

[@navi2710]

I still can't believe how amazing Batman was beyond. Never understood why it was cancelled.

[@slalomie]

Ahh man this is so nostalgic… I grew up watching Batman TAS and thought Beyond was good but retold a decent amount of characters. Melanie was Terry’s Selina but unlike Catwoman she never wanted to be a criminal but wanted to be a regular teen like Terry.

[@C33dis]

Melanie, was to Terry, what Selina Kyle was to Bruce.

[@ethanthompson6598]

This is where that iconic line came from the tonight line I love it

[@GrumpyCat97]

shame we wont see this kind of cartoon in nowadays. life was better back then

[@hardcandy9880]

Glad to know she was adapted to mainstream comics and even worked with Batman a few times.

[@truearea53]

I miss Batman beyond such an underrated and best DC series 🥺

[@themachoechidnaugandarandy7583]

That comic that was inspired by virus was pretty cool

[@saidramirez8718]

Melanie is the bomb.

[@theobserver3753]

This cartoon art style is way better than what we have these days.

[@_Roadratz_]

I always thought Melanie was a much better pair for Terry than Dana.

[@shaveershroff9398]

Trust me, he DEFINITELY forgot about his history homework.

[@BrIdEsMaIdCoOlO]

Bruh in the short time we saw Melanie she had WAY more character than Dana, Dana was always just 'Terry's girlfriend' no personality tbh she was boring and just a flat character. While Melanie and terry had more chemistry, it also didnt hurt she gave off Selena Kyle vibes.

[@M0ngergang]

They need to bring her back to the animation world.

[@xs0528]

Ya!

[@cainabel6356]

She reminds me of Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman. Glad she got her brother out. I did not know that this was canceled. It was a great show. It was dark and the perfect sequel to Batman, when Bruce Wayne is too old.

[@hamasakikenji4554]

Melanie should've completely walked out and go with Terry when she was given the choice before queen bugged her at the elevator, could've had a great life being a hero and not have so many bad moments.

[@Vix2066]

Ten and Inque were my two absolute favourites of this show

[@HisSpaceCowboy]

God they were so perfect for each other 😢❤

[@frillydress]

Oooh! She looks so cool!

[@dvon1097]

I never noticed the king says "we have all the time in the world". George Lazenby voices that character. 30 years earlier he was James Bond and he says that same phrase(a major part of that film).

[@gamingking22291]

4:35 Terry succeeded where a certain red and blue-clad superhero failed.

[@dukedenning]

Like master ,like disciple. Batman have Catwoman. Batman beyond have 10. It runs in the family.

[@wyattwelton8599]

Batman beyond had some seriously good arcs man. I really wish it got a reboot or something
