Is batman the suit or the man underneath?

When a young rich kid inherits his father's computer company he is quickly overwhelmed and activates an old program to assist him .Seems grampa had his brain digitized to live on after death but his son never activated him.

Now grandads absorbing the internet, giving orders and generaly behaving like megalomaniacal super computers do in these shows.

During an encounter with batsy he downloads himself into the suits control systems and takes over.

Planning on a more conventional body gramps prepares to transfer himself to his sonny boy and retain control of the company.

Terry goes to confront the super biatch computer with only a nightwing mask and a batarang.

After sustaining a severe ass kicking terry is eventually triumphant and frees sonny boy while deleting old timer.

I like this one

it strips away terry from all his advantage and shows him to be a true hero.

He goes to face certain doom against a superior foe simply because as batman he can do nothing else.

A true classicmoreless

this one was crap. about the only thing i got from this one was the comment about the previous robins and a glimpse of what was possibly Summer Gleason (the reporter from TAS) but other than that i didnt enjoy this as much as i would have liked. still it was Batman Beyond so it was better than some of the crap that was on tv at the time(and still on mind you).moreless

NOTES (2)
ADD NOTES
- This episode, along with "Heroes" and "Splicer" were released on VHS as Batman Beyond: Tech Wars. It was later paired up with the VHS release of Batman Beyond: Disappearing Inque (consisting of "Black Out", "Disappearing Inque" and "Shriek") on DVD.
  EDIT SHARE
- The newscaster in the opening scene (set 35 years before Batman Beyond) looks a lot like Summer Gleason from Batman: The Animated Series. Assuming that Bruce is 75-80 in Beyond, and was 35-40 in TAS, then that would set the intro scene about 5-10 years after TAS, so it could well be Summer.
