We try our best to keep these lists as gender balanced as possible, so our initial pick for a DC Universe example was Police Commissioner Barbara Gordon, who sternly opposes the return of vigilanteism to her streets both with her Force, and verbally to Bruce Wayne (her former lover!). But then we realized that if we mentioned Batman Beyond at all in this Power Grid, it had to be to mention Old Bruce Wayne.

The man who basically quit the world when he retired, and went to live in his big, creepy, empty house with his vicious dog and never talk to anyone again ever. A man who walks with a cane, and can still beat up a street gang with it. A guy who puts on a mechanical battle suit to rescue his protege even though using it gives him heart palpitations. A guy who knew he wasn't going crazy because the voices in his head were calling him by his given name.

And then there was the time when present day Batman and Green Lantern were sent to Batman Beyond time, and Old Bruce made his younger self play the good cop.
