YMMV / Justice League Unlimited S2E13 "Epilogue"

• Ass Pull: A common criticism of the episode is that the reveal that Terry is Bruce's son had no build-up until this very episode (besides his hair color) and Waller's plan runs on contrived coincidences.
• Alternative Character Interpretation: Perhaps those Deliberately Monochrome sequences are not fantasies, and they actually happened. And Terry's actions at the end (planning to propose to Dana, tending to Bruce) is his way of making it up to them?
  • Apparently Terry was already planning to get together with Dana, which seems a little odd if he'd already broken things off with her. Also, Dana doesn't seem surprised at all that he's calling her. Except for the 3 AM part anyway.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Since it's never revealed what originally caused the divorce of Terry's parents in the original Batman Beyond series, a common assumption made due to this episode is that Warren accused Mary of infidelity due to both Terry and his younger brother Matt having black hair, and Terry having blue eyes. Traits possessed by neither the brown haired/dark eyed Warren or the red haired/dark eyed Mary, but rather by their true biological father: Bruce Wayne. Though Amanda Waller chose not to have Terry's parents murdered in the end, she ultimately may have destroyed their marriage.
• Signature Scene: Bruce Wayne's meeting Ace is easily the best known part of the episode. In fact, this scene has become so iconic that it's widely considered to be for Batman what Superman comforting a suicidal teenager is for the Man of Steel: all his best qualities and all he stands for distilled into a single moment.
• Values Resonance: An odd example, crossing with Harsher in Hindsight and Heartwarming in Hindsight; Waller has made it clear that Bruce Wayne wouldn't last, but there would always be another Batman thanks to Terry. This has a number of real-life parallels that hit closer to home following the deaths of Adam West and Kevin Conroy, the actors of the most influential versions of the Caped Crusader on the small screen. Much like Terry, though, there have been a number of other actors who have also portrayed Batman, both in animated and live-action forms.
