How Batman Beyond accurately predicted the future

"Become your dream" - James De La Vega

I know this is kind of straying away from the whole "life lessons" theme, but I figure I could spice things up while keeping with it, although seemingly off-topic.

I believe that we're always responsible for our own actions, and that the world of the present is a result of how much we contribute to it (or don't contribute to it). Now that I'm older, I see things though a different perspective. For example, as a kid I used to love the cartoon Batman Beyond. It was an alternate world that's supposed to be in the future where it had changed greatly, yet you can tell that it's still the same world of Gotham City because it still has the underpinnings of any present-day metropolis. It makes for great fiction, but now more than 10 years have passed since that cartoon premiered. Who would've known that while it was fiction, it basically predicted what was going to happen to the world in the future of today. The intro gives you a good feel about the happenings of the future.
