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.

I believe it was a clear parallel between Bruce and Selina Kyle, their relationship wouldn't easily work long term if she were a criminal. They also wanted to show that Terry managed to go through similar things as Bruce and still make clear choices about his life find balance in his relationships and make his life not all about trauma and mask but also functional double life. Dana was someone he knew someone he trusted and in the end someone he loved. Sometimes great chemistry is amazing for the thrill but to build a long term relationship you need different balance

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?

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.

It kinda got one in justice league unlimited, there's effectively a batman beyond episode at the end of one of the seasons with an adult Terry and that hes actually Bruce's son

i love Batman Beyond, honestly one of the best shows. shame it ended so strange

This show was ahead of its time. As a kid I couldn't fully appreciate it

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.

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

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

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 ! !

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

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

She's a teenager, both her and Terry. They're only 16-17 years old. Even if she was sent to prison, she would've likely only been sent to juvie.

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

Oh cool, the voice sample for a break core (?) song is from this show🤩🤩

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

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

Melanie is the bomb.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Oooh! She looks so cool!

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

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

Melanie walker aka number 10

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

I was just thinking that, Even crazier this kind of thing happened in my life. Amazing how relatable and deep those shows back then end up being now that we’re grown.

I really wish we got more of her.

A solid remider of how good Batman Beyond is.

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.

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

That comic that was inspired by virus was pretty cool

Ten and Inque were my two absolute favourites of this show

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.

Terry McGinnis, and Melanie Walker, are their generation's Bruce Wayne, and Selina Kyle.

Thank you!
