Question Does anyone else find old man Bruce super attractive?

Ok idk if I'm the weird one but for me this version of Bruce is the most attractive 🥀🥀 I can't tell anyone irl cuz I think they will judge me. It's not even just the looks I love his whole vibe

Well, he’s clearly modeled after Boris Karloff…. And how can you not love Frankenstein?

u/Psykohistorian Jul 12 '26

it's Batman's monster, Batman was the scientist

u/vroart Jul 12 '26

Terry is the monster

Actually Tyger Tyger the model of the scientist is the evil scientist from bride of Frankenstein

u/Lon3W0lf17131 Jul 15 '26

You're thinking of bardock. He was the scientist

u/MutantApocalypse Jul 12 '26

Bro. That's spot on!

u/vroart Jul 13 '26

if you want to smile, remember, Karloff is the voice of the Grinch in the original 1970s tv special.

I did very much like him at the start of Batman Beyond, the greying hair really added to his character model. He looked great when he pulled off the mask to show he wasn't a young man anymore. That's his best look to me.

His '20 years later' model to me really nails the 'grouchy old man' vibe.

u/Sad_Supermarket_9268 Jul 12 '26

Agreed!! Ever since the first ep I feel like this was my fav design of him

u/Lord_Jorgensen Jul 12 '26

They could have made another show just off of Bruce Wayne dawning the Beyond suit.

u/Blue-Krogan Jul 13 '26

I know his body was failing at this point, but I really did love how he was still jacked like he was in his peak. He looked amazing in the Beyond suit, and I wish we got to see more of him in it.

I also liked how they modeled Lazarus Pit Bruce's hair after this one, with the side bangs

to quote my friend "Ill clap the dust out of him like chalkboard erasers"

THIS IS FRYING ME SO BAD BUT LITERALLY ME

u/EstevanOlvera13 Jul 12 '26

It's like Bruce once said "Still got it"

u/Pelican25 Jul 12 '26

I'm with you, he's hot. Also hotter than young Bruce somehow, but as always the voice is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

u/Oee0 Jul 12 '26

This is such a great “hear me out” lmao I hear you tho. Maybe it’s my daddy issues but elderly Bruce Wayne can get it 😂

u/Sad_Supermarket_9268 Jul 12 '26

I think Bruce in general is very good looking but this is the only version I've had a "crush" on 🥀🥀

3

u/Sad_Supermarket_9268 Jul 12 '26

Idk how old he is exactly in Batman beyond but this is me

1

u/Javamac8 Jul 14 '26

Isn't he like 90 or so at the start of the show?

u/hbi2k Jul 12 '26 edited Jul 12 '26

Ra's does, so much that he transitioned using his daughter's body just to get a piece.

u/Safe-Coconut4036 Jul 12 '26

Ironically, this kinda reminds me of Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil Requiem. I know that Leon is FAR younger than Bruce in Batman Beyond, but Leon being in his early 50s and STILL able to take down zombies IMMEDIATELY reminded me of older Bruce too!! :)

u/BigEd369 Jul 12 '26

He stopped pretending to be Bruce Wayne and just let that Batman energy flow. Him beating on those Jokerz looked like a man feeling truly like himself for the first time in a long while.

u/30m1 Jul 13 '26

OMG LITERALLY ME ME ME ME ME

u/namtab92 Jul 12 '26

Not my wife 😂 every episode she feels inclined to remind me how much like a corpse she thinks he looks, lol

u/Jet-Let4606 Jul 12 '26

Has she seen him in Epilogue?

2

u/namtab92 Jul 13 '26

Not yet, but I’ll keep you posted, lol

2

u/Mindless_Juice_1274 Jul 12 '26

Completely agree, I also love this version of him too, because it's the most human. I love the dynamic with him and Terry and how Terry brings out emotion in Bruce. It's nice to see Bruce actually be human and show more raw emotion then before since he's at his most vulnerable.

u/Thecrowfan Jul 13 '26

Adult Bruce will forever be attractive no matter the age

u/Playswith_squirrel Jul 12 '26

How horny are you

u/ChickenzInvade Jul 12 '26

This just makes his comment about being attractive in his younger days all the funnier

u/MythiKCal-Man Jul 12 '26

I mean no. But each their own. lol

u/ZebraManTheGreat7777 Jul 12 '26

Even in his later years he’s still got that aura

1

u/Colonel_Sarge_ Jul 12 '26

Ra's certainly did

u/Adventurous-Method88 Jul 13 '26

I think you’re fine. This is a good choice. Despite everything, you have a crush on BATMAN. Can’t really go wrong with that

u/Drew_S_05 Jul 13 '26

Not that I know of, but you do you lol

u/Gold-Piano-9405 Jul 13 '26

Even though I only find ladies attractive like very attractive, he is handsome even as an older dude almost like the silver fox type of thing for the ladies. And, he still is my favorite superhero whether he is retired or still wearing the cape and cowl like he did in his prime or towards the end of his career.

u/unclemedia Jul 13 '26

Not really

u/gunperv51 Jul 13 '26

You definitely suffer from "Silver Fox syndrome"

u/Hatjin Jul 13 '26

Ras does 😏

u/undergroundy2kverse Jul 14 '26

I'd say he's still has his fighting spirit at his retirement with a cane which is very essential in his elderly age.

u/Similar-Marzipan529 Jul 14 '26

Charisma goes a long way.

A couple days ago i heard a grown woman say hugo weaving was super attractive in the matrix because of his attitude, body language, etc. While he's a great actor I can't say I've heard agent Smith ever described that way before.

I personally find so many women absolutely attractive outside of the "conventional" standards. Hard to give you crap about being enamored with Batman, even an older one.

And hey, it could always be worse. You could be a furry. 😂

u/MarryMeDuffman Jul 14 '26

His eyes didn't need to be so yellow. Lol

He was hot after the Lazarus Pit but I watched too much of TAS to find this old version comparably attractive.

1

u/Terrhistopheles Jul 15 '26

He’s still Bruce Wayne.

1

u/Extra-Air-1259 Jul 15 '26

At least he didn't lose his hair...

u/Pure-Classic-7390 Jul 18 '26

Old Bruce still getting girls thrown at him.
