I can't think of a single way Spider-Man Unlimited ripped off Batman Beyond.

Have you seen Spider-Man Unlimited?!
- Edgy, sinister opening titles with a synth rock theme.
- Futuristic, dystopia setting.
- A superhero with a futuristic tech suit that can turn invisible.
- 'Alternate' versions of classic supervillains
- The title 'Batman Beyond' compared to 'Spider-Man Unlimited'. You can't say they bear no resemblance.
Surface resemblences are not blatant rip-offs. Theme songs? Costumes that turn invisible? Are you kidding me?
A young Batman in the future being trained by the original Batman, and the real Spider-Man on an alternate earth are hardly a "shameless ripoff."
Batman Beyond(yes, I'm referring to him as that)/Terry McGuiness himself was a shameless capitalization on Spider-Man's edgy, smartass teen appeal.
So is every teenage character created after 1960 other than maybe the Robins?
NO! No no no! Wrong! ARGH! Is the site testing me today?!anic:
Heh. It happens, people figure it out.
It sounds like I'm either being sarcastic or just randomly aggressive about something that nobody else has ever given a second thought to.

Then insert the quote from Gothamite that lead you to post that. Then everybody's happy.

Or Batman ripped off The Shadow because both were affluent playboys who fought crime in dark capes.
