Wiz: The future. Everyone wants to see it, and why not? It has robots, flying cars, and of course, superheroes.
Boomstick: Yeah, the future still has those, but they're even cooler 'cause of all the sweet gadgets.
Wiz: Like Terry McGinnis, the Batman Beyond.
Boomstick: And Miguel O’Hara, the Spider-Man from 2099. He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.

Wiz: Terry McGinnis was your average futuristic high school student.
Boomstick: He went to future raves, complained about future problems, had a future girlfriend, eh, you know, the usual!
Wiz: Until one fateful day, when Terry got into a fight with a group of Jokerz.
Boomstick: What's he got against comedians?
Wiz: No no, a GANG called the Jokerz, you know, like THE Joker?
Boomstick: Ah, but with a Z, 'cause it's the future.
Wiz: Well naturally. After possibly the most dangerous motorcycle chase ever put on television...
Boomstick: Nah, it's cool, he's got a helmet.
Wiz: Terry found himself inside an isolated mansion owned by an elderly billionaire named Bruce Wayne. Here, he stumbled upon the most important revelation in his life.
Boomstick: Bruce Wayne is Batman! (sarcastically) Oh, what a surprise! Well, more like, he WAS Batman. He retired from crime fighting years ago 'cause, you know, age is a bitch.
Wiz: Wait a minute, after decades of secrecy, a punk teenager just happens to stumble into the Batcave? For crying out loud, if he'd found my secret lair, he'd have been vaporized on the spot.

Boomstick: Yeah... anyway, Terry's rollercoaster of a day still wasn't over; turns out, his dad got murdered.
Terry: Dad?
Terry runs into the room.
Terry: DAD!
Boomstick: Bummer, so he did what any emotionally charged teen who wants to avenge their dad would do: he stole the Batsuit.
Wiz: But not the old cape and cowl of yesteryear, this was the latest and most advanced Batsuit. Terry McGinnis didn't just become the all new Batman, he was Batman Beyond.
Boomstick: You ever wonder what would happen if Batman got a hold of an Iron Man suit? It's basically that, and damn, he looks friggin' rad!
Wiz: The Batsuit's nanotechnology greatly enhances his strength, and provides several thin yet strong layers of ballistic and environmental protection.
Boomstick: And he can fly! He can soar faster than a speeding future car, and he's really nimble in the air, plus he can always give his punches and kicks a literal rocket boost.
Wiz: The suit sports over two dozen other gadgets for combat and espionage, he has a wrist mounted grappling hook that can extend over 50 feet, there's a cloaking device, a lock decoder, finger microphones, climbing claws, an underwater breather, thermal and binocular vision, extendable spikes on his arms, flash bang grenades, triple weighted bolas, a buzz saw, and even... retractable tweezers.
Boomstick: Splinters are no laughing matter, and don't forget all those sweet, sweet Batarangs. These new age ninja stars are even sharper and more compact than before, and they come in a variety of delightful flavors, like explosive, ensnaring, and electrifying. Terry's got a solid throwing arm, and can even disarm multiple opponents with a single shot, but if he's feeling a bit lazy, he can always just use his arm launchers to fire batarang disks.
Wiz: Also, when anyone gets in too close, the whole suit can act like a man-sized taser. The electric shock is strong enough to stun people spliced with animal DNA, and short out heavy machinery.
Boomstick: But the tools don't make the man, er, Batman, Terry's a master martial artist, with plenty of training from legends like former Robin Dick Grayson, totally real ninja Kairi Tanaga, and the former Dark Knight himself, once he got over the kid stealing his suit, of course.
Wiz: Bruce Wayne doesn't just serve as Terry's mentor, he's also a constant source of advice and information on the go through his direct link to the Batsuit from the Batcave.
Boomstick: Good thing, too, since Terry's not exactly the world's greatest detective, at least, not compared to the old man.
Wiz: Bruce is extremely intelligent and an expert analyst, plus, the Batcave has some very impressive technology, not only does it host one of the most powerful supercomputers on the planet, it's also completely dependent on its own hydroelectric power supply and isolated network.
Boomstick: Still, I don't care who Bruce used to be, having an old guy barking orders in your ear sounds annoying, like your dad's always looking over your shoulder, or at least, I imagine, 'cause I didn't have one.
Wiz: Well, Terry is Bruce Wayne's secret son.
Boomstick: WHAAA?!
Wiz: In an effort to ensure there would always be a Batman, government boogie-woman Amanda Waller had secretly overwritten Warren McGinnis' reproductive DNA with that of Bruce Wayne's.
Boomstick: So, like he was just blastin' Wayne babies? It's like all the fun, but you could get out of any child support case.

Boomstick: And bonus, I guess Terry's father technically wasn't murdered, good for him. Also, he's got all the benefits from Bruce's kickass genes.
Wiz: Even before going through combat training, Terry was a skilled fighter, strong enough to send opponents flying with a single punch.
Boomstick: In the suit, he's strong enough to lift large I-beams and this giant boulder.
Wiz: He's even survived getting his leg trapped under Bruce Wayne's trophy penny.
Boomstick: What's so special about a penny?
Wiz: Just look at it.
Boomstick: Holy colossal currency, Batman!
Wiz: The penny's diameter is easily 20 feet wide, and is frequently dated from the 1940's. This means the penny is likely composed of bronze, and weighs around 166 tons.
Boomstick: That's more than enough to crush all the bones in your foot, but not Terry. He was up and at 'em like nothing happened. I mean, this guy's tough enough to take a missile to the face and then fall hundreds of stories, and all he got out of it was a couple broken ribs. What's a penny as heavy as 33 monster trucks gonna do?
Wiz: He's quick enough to dodge gunfire, skilled enough to defeat lizard people and the Justice Lords. In a newer suit, he could fire concussive pulse blasts and even outraced an intercontinental missile, which can reach speeds of up to 15,000 miles per hour. That's over 19 times the speed of sound.
Boomstick: He's still no Bruce Wayne, though. He's kind of a punk and doesn't have the amazing smarts or expertise of Batman classic.
Waller: You don't quite have his magnificent brain, for instance. You do have his heart, though.
Wiz: Maybe not, but he has accomplished feats equal to his predecessor, like fighting Superman and ending the Joker threat once and for all. Clearly, Terry McGinnis has more than earned the title of Batman.
Mr. Fixx: You're pretty strong, for some clown who thinks he's Batman.
Batman: I am Batman!
Terry proceeds to pummel Mr. Fixx.

Boomstick: So, here's an unfortunate spoiler, the year 2099 kinda sucks.
Wiz: Plagued by a massive civil war between humans and mutants, the world fell into a dystopian ruin of violence and anarchy. The Heroic Age had come to an end.
Boomstick: But some people still wanted a sequel.
Wiz: Enter Miguel O'Hara, a child prodigy-turned-super genius with a penchant for genetic tinkering.
Boomstick: Miguel's skills landed him a job at one of the biggest companies in the world, Alchemax, where he got to work trying to rebuild one of the greatest heroes of all time, Spider-Man.
Wiz: Specifically, he attempted to replicate the DNA of Peter Parker, the original Spider-Man, but like most of the 21st century's superheroes, not much remained of Parker outside of stories and legend. Miguel had to build his experiment from scratch, starting with a single, simple spider.
Boomstick: Unfortunately, Alchemax didn't have the greatest job security. After a lot of bad blood and some spilled blood, Miguel wound up accidentally getting a dose of his own creepy crawly project.
Wiz: Transforming him into the Spider-Man of 2099.
Boomstick: But, future Spider-Man isn't quite the same as your grand-pappy's Spidey.
Wiz: That's right, apart from the superhuman strength, speed, durability and improved healing, Miguel's powers are entirely different. Unlike Parker, he can't actually stick to any surface; he can still wall crawl though, using retractable talons on his fingers and toes, which also make for fairly deadly weapons in a fight.
Boomstick: And he's got fangs like a vampire! If he bites you, he can inject a venom that can paralyze your whole body almost instantly. Also, he may not have Petey's trusty Spider-Sense, but his sense of sight, smell, and hearing are super fine. He can hear noises from miles away, see in the dark, and make out far off and fast moving objects with ease.
Wiz: In fact, his senses are so acute, he wears tinted glasses to keep daylight from hurting his eyes.
Boomstick: And like any Spider-Man, he can shoot webs from his hands.
Wiz: Miguel doesn't need compact web shooter devices on his wrists, he actually has organic spinnerets in his arms which create and release thick, durable strings of webbing. Because they're natural, these strings are chemically identical to spider silk, with a tensile strength similar to steel.
Boomstick: Eww! Okay, the original Spider-Man always kinda grossed me out, but this guy's powers are disgusting.

Wiz: I think Miguel would agree with you.
Boomstick: Well yeah, one day he's just your average dweeb doing sciencey stuff like you, and the next, he's got big lumps in his arms which shoot sticky stuff? Who wouldn't be weirded out?
Wiz: Miguel saw his newfound power as a curse, a blight which turned him into an inhuman freak of nature.
Boomstick: But that didn't stop him from fighting crime, complete with his own Spidey suit.
Wiz: His original costume was made from unstable molecules, allowing the use of his talons without tearing the fabric. He also wears a web like cape made of Light Byte which lets him glide through the air.
Boomstick: Whoa, Lite Brite! I remember that! Man, do they still have that in the future? And did they find a way to stop you losing those little pegs?
Wiz: Light Byte!
Boomstick: Eh, whatever, the suit looks pretty cool, so I hate to spoil the mood, but it's actually just a run of the mill costume from a Day of the Dead festival. No, really.
Wiz: Though, after meeting the present-day Peter Parker, Miguel received a much-needed upgrade; his new suit contains synthesized unstable molecule fabric mixed with Kevlar, greatly improving his defense.
Boomstick: This suit can survive a shot from a Howitzer artillery cannon. A common M7-77 military Howitzer fires 92 pound shells at 2,200 feet per second. That hits with over a hundred tons of force.
Wiz: Miguel's even taken a hit from the Thing, a hit which shattered a tempered glass window and sent Miguel flying over two dozen feet.
Boomstick: And the new suit has explosives, hologram projectors, infrared scanning, and it's even got wings, and rocket boosters on the feet. Wait, that sounds familiar.
Wiz: Miguel may be a genius, but he's at his best when he's working with his holographic assistant, Lyla, or the LYrate Lifeform Approximation.
Boomstick: She's basically like the future Alexa with a bunch of extra features. She keeps track of Miguel's life signs and surroundings. With Lyla's scanners and his super senses, anyone would have a hard time trying to sneak up on future Spidey.

Wiz: While Lyla was originally built as a home appliance, she can be stored on Miguel's portable communicator. She can act as an onboard lie detector, and do advanced calculations to the twentieth decimal in a millisecond, which is flippin' amazing!
Boomstick: Fun fact, Lyla's appearance was based on Marilyn Monroe. (growls lecherously)
Wiz: Not that anybody in 2099 seems to know who Marilyn Monroe was. Okay, seriously, how did they lose so much information in less than a hundred years? Remember kids, always back up your files, it'll prevent the apocalypse.
Boomstick: Well, lucky for them, Miguel got over his emo phase and stated setting the future back on track, and he had the skills to do it.
Wiz: He's quick enough to dodge gunfire, tough enough to take a shotgun blast to the chest, resilient enough to take electric shocks, and strong enough to rip a 20-ton turret off a tank.
Boomstick: More than that, he helped another Spider-Man keep this giant building piece in place. What even is that?
Wiz: Likely some sort of antenna, but it also resembles the mooring mast atop the Empire State Building.
Boomstick: Back when everybody thought zeppelins were the hot new thing, because who doesn't like riding a giant flammable balloon full of explosive gas? Sign me up!
Wiz: Assuming it's composed of steel, and roughly estimating its size compared to the Spider-Men on the roof, then comparing the Empire State Building's mooring mast, this should weigh, at most, 200 tons.
Boomstick: So basically, Miguel's a badass, and he proved it in the most epic way possible. After rebuilding the world with Captain America, Miguel inherited the most legendary weapon of them all: Mjolnir.
Wiz: Although, Thor's hammer didn't actually grant him its warrior powers. Miguel didn't use it as a weapon, but as proof of his authority, a literal symbol of the societal weight he alone could carry. With his dominance asserted, Miguel created the utopian future a person could only dream of.
Boomstick: And you thought Peter Parker was cool, this Spider-Man is at the top.
Madame Web: Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man of the year 2099.
Spider-Man: That's me, ready to save the universe, and lookin' good while doing it.

Beyond 2099 by Therewolf Media

In the futuristic Gotham, Batman Beyond stands on a mounted gargoyle attached to a tall building while keeping a lookout in the city. He listens to Bruce Wayne via intercom.
Bruce: McGinnis! Keep an eye out. I've been seeing some odd reports regarding this part of the city.
Suddenly, a large web line attaches to the gargoyle to Terry's surprise. Spider-Man 2099 swings by and accidentally breaks the gargoyle Batman was standing on. Terry quickly activates his jet boosters to catch up to his web swinging foe.
Batman: Hey, bozo, I was brooding there!
Spider-Man: Who the shock are you?
Miguel swings high in the air after launching from a traffic light with Terry tailing him.
Batman tries flying right into Spider-Man, but the wallcrawler swings around a pole and kicks him forward. Terry leaps off a building to glide into Miguel again, but Spider-Man shoots webbing at the futuristic Batman and swings around the hero to kick him downwards. Terry intercepts the kick and throws Miguel down. Spider-Man web swings to another building with Batman in pursuit.
Spider-Man attaches himself to the building as Batman launches four batarangs at him. He leaps forward and webs the four batarangs together before throwing them right back at Batman.
Spider-Man: Right back at ya, Batty!
Batman is hit by all of his batarangs and falls on a nearby building. Spider-Man attaches himself to a different structure and activates his A.I. Lyla.
Spider-Man: Hey Lyla, give me a reading on this vampire guy, yeah?
Lyla: Of course, Miguel.
Batman gets back up and flies towards Spider-Man to punch him.
Lyla: I can't identify his tech or fighting style, but I can try hacking his suit.
Spider-Man blocks Batman's punch, kicks him twice, and then uses his webs to kick Terry at multiple angles.
Bruce: He's too comfortable in the air! Try a different approach.
Terry avoids Miguel's next kick.
Bruce: Get to ground level.
Batman manages to tie Spider-Man with a bola.
Spider-Man: Rgh! I can't move!
Batman punches Spider-Man off the building just as Miguel breaks the bola. As the two fall to the ground, Miguel tries web kicking Terry again, but the Batman throws him into the building and kicks him to the ground using his jet boosters. Spider-Man crashes into a car and stumbles onto the street.
Spider-Man: Damn, that hurt!
Batman lands on the ground to confront his opponent. Meanwhile, in the Batcave, the older Bruce manages to hold back Lyla hacking the system.
Bruce: Something's trying to hack your suit. Our new friend, no doubt.
Spider-Man: How's the hack going?
Lyla: *sighs* Nowhere fast...
Bruce: Get in close and finish this quick!
Batman: No prob!
Batman starts running forward. Spider-Man leaps over the car he crashed into and starts charging his opponent.
Spider-Man: Can my fangs pierce his suit?
Lyla: I think so.
Spider-Man prepares his claws as he continues running forward.
Spider-Man: Then I'll finish this myself!
As the two are about to collide, Batman throws a flash grenade on the ground, blinding Spider-Man due to his severe light sensitivity. Terry delivers one, final combo on his opponent and leaps away as he's attached three explosive batarangs to Miguel's chest. After regaining his senses, Miguel struggles to get the batarangs off.
Spider-Man: Lyla!? LYLA!
The explosives tear a hole in Spider-Man 2099's chest, killing him instantly.
Batman: Aaand problem solved.
Bruce: I guess that's one way to do it...
Batman Beyond flies off into the night.

Boomstick: Ah, I'll never get tired of seeing people blow up. It's always such a blast!
Wiz: Thanks to Bruce's counsel, Terry used his flash bang to take advantage of Miguel's sensitive eyesight, and his electric shot that can short out machinery to deal with Lyla.
Boomstick: Yeah, unlike Bruce, the poor girl wasn't really built for combat. And while her hacking skills were top notch, the isolated Batcave had the defenses to hold her off.
Wiz: Even still, Terry's stats edged out Miguel's in more ways than one.
Boomstick: When it came to maneuverability and durability, they were mostly even. Both could dodge bullets and weave through the air, both could survive heavy ballistic hits, but unlike Terry, Miguel's never outraced anything faster than a Mach 19 ballistic missile.
Wiz: For physical strength, Terry had him beat, too. Recall that boulder that he lifted underwater. This took place in Superman's Fortress of Solitude near the Arctic, so the boulder was likely composed of sedimentary dark limestone, the most common rock type around that location. So we compared Terry's height to the boulder, applied the density for limestone, and subtracted the weight reduced by underwater buoyancy to find the boulder's weight to be 192 tons.
Boomstick: And he tossed it aside like it was nothing! Terry's peak strength in the Batsuit has to be more than 200 tons!
Wiz: Assuming Miguel applied his fair share when holding up that antennae, his best feat strength we know of is at max 100 tons.
Boomstick: But he's a Spider-Man! Spider-Men can lift more than that, right?
Wiz: Not usually. Technically, Miguel's powers are so different from Peter's that we really shouldn't scale him to other Spider-Men, but for the benefit of the doubt, let's do it anyway.
Boomstick: We'll check out two of Spider-Man's most impressive strength feats. The first is the time he braced a private jet when it was landing. Look at him! He's literally the landing gear.
Wiz: According to Spider-Man himself, the plane's total weight was at most 115,000 pounds. Adding the thrust from a Whittle W1 engine, which this small jet is most likely to have an engine comparable to, this feat comes out to 58 tons.
Boomstick: Not even close to Terry's 200. Then there was this one time where Spidey had to push WAY past his limits to lift what he offhandedly compared to as a locomotive. Since he could measure the plane, it's likely he's accurate here, but given the time period, that's still only 130 tons at most.
Wiz: It's clear Terry had a pretty sizable physical advantage, and just because Terry's mind wasn't as fine-tuned as the original Batman's didn't mean he's dumb.
Boomstick: Even more, Miguel never trained like Terry did. Hell, he never really had much formal training at all. But Terry was trained by ninjas, stealth artists, and other crime fighters to be a master in the battlefield. And since Miguel didn't have a Spider-Sense, Terry just had to wait until the untrained future Spidey left an opening.
Wiz: In short, while Miguel wasn't completely outmatched, Terry's superior strength, counseling, equipment, and training won the bout.
Boomstick: Turns out this Batman was beyond him.
We cut to the "Winner" card.
Wiz: The winner is Batman Beyond.
Original Track

Beyond 2099 by Therewolf Media
|
Composition
The track for this fight is "Beyond 2099" by Therewolf Media. It combines techno and rock to emphasize the futuristic nature of both combatants.
Title
The title simply combines both combatants' aliases (Batman Beyond and Spider-Man 2099), which not only distinguish them from their predecessors, but also reference how they are from the future.
Cover Art
The cover art depicts the silhouette of one of Batman Beyond's batarangs caught in Spider-Man 2099's webbing.
Trivia
Production
- The connections between Batman Beyond and Spider-Man 2099 are that they are both heroes from the future who take on the mantles of iconic superheroes of the past (Batman and Spider-Man, respectively) becoming their successors and carrying on their legacies. Both have black and red suits, use advanced future technology that surpasses their predecessors, and have a history of genetic engineering relating to their heroic identities (Terry's father's DNA was changed to match Bruce Wayne's, while Miguel had his DNA rewritten to be 50% spider DNA).
- Ironically, both are opposite in personality to the heroes whose mantles they've taken up, as Terry is far more snarky and humorous than Bruce Wayne and Miguel is far more serious and blunt than Earth-616's Peter Parker.
- Batman Beyond has paid tribute to the original Spider-Man in several episodes, directly referencing the character's iconography at various points (with the homage to "If This Be My Destiny" from the episode "Heroes" being directly shown within this episode as an example of Terry's strength).
- The animated series that would end up becoming Spider-Man Unlimited was at one point considered to be an adaptation of Spider-Man 2099, but was ultimately changed in part due to Batman Beyond's existence.[1]
- This is the first episode to have its custom fight track play during the post-analysis.
Easter Eggs
- When the two are falling off a building, Terry hits Miguel into a car (specifically one with a recolored sprite from Street Fighter II's bonus round), a call-back to Bruce doing the same thing to Peter in the original Batman VS Spider-Man.
- This running gag would happen again in Batman VS Iron Man.
Errors
- The episode's description asks if things will go differently for the bat or the spider, even though either scenario being different from the original fight (Batman winning when the original lost, or Spider-Man losing when the original won) is the exact same as each other.
- Batman's analysis claims he's skilled enough to defeat the Justice Lords, plural. However, the arc referenced only ever has him fighting Lord Superman, with no other member of the Justice Lords serving as antagonists to Terry.
- In Spider-Man 2099's "Background" slide, "Nueva York" is misspelled as "Nuevo York".
- The post-analysis' line about Terry's usage of the flashbang and Lyla's disappearance are phrased to suggest that Bruce counseled Terry and that Terry short-circuited Lyla in the fight itself, respectively. However, neither are present within the animation, with Terry using the flashbang with no prompting from Bruce and Lyla not being present after her last line for no discernible reason.
