Batman Beyond - Black out

[Styleshift]

So I started watching this show again after I picked it up on DVD.
They really pushed the envelope on this show.
The one episode that still makes me cringe to this day is.

Black out.

Great episode.
There was a scene where Inque of course tries to kill Terry. Out of any "cliff hanger" death trap in animation, that one still sticks out to me the most in terms of suspense. It used to scare the crap out of me from my time as a preteen into my years as an 17 year old. It took me years to even want to watch "Dissapearing inque" and "inqueling". I would even skip the first part of "the call" that featured inque.

Spoiler

Inque goes down Terry's throat to suffocate him.

My question is though,
How the heck did that get it approved?? Has Bruce Tiimm or anyone else that worked on the series talked about it? Has there been discussion?

Yea I always remember that part when I think of Batman Beyond.

That and when

Spoiler

Starro attached to Superman and tries to get him to kill everyone

The Inque part is pretty disturbing. I mean, imagine that happening to you.
