What can I say great batman series. In my personal opinion my favorite batman series and one of my favorite TV series of all time. It's just a good as the original 1990's series and it follows after the original batman series very well. It's starts with Bruce Wayne a few years after the new batman adventures, he retires and ends his role as batman once and for all and then get a new character named Terry Mcginnis who saves Bruce life from a gang called the Jokers (obviously a tribute to the Joker, accept no where near as good). Terry gets a job from Bruce Wayne however he discovers the batcave as well as the bat-suit and from then on he becomes the new batman. What I like about this series is the art design, the great voice acting, the music, as well as the new villains. Most of the villains are like the modern equivalent of the original villains but aren't tribute's to the original villains accept for the Jokers and the original Mr. Freeze makes an appearance in 1 episode. I love this series so much, I grew up with it, but when I watch it today, it still has a great impact on me. I recommend it to batman fans and non fans a like. Give this series a watch it kicks ass.

Yes, that is sort of the concept of "Batman Beyond": a wise-cracking teenager balancing his social life with his superhero responsibilities with a cranky old man yelling at him. All the while being mistrusted by the city at large? That's the Spider-Man we all know and love.Even Terry's rogues gallery is inspired by Spidey's: Stalker is basically a cybernetic Kraven the Hunter, Inque looks visually similar to Venom, Ten of the Royal Flush Gang is the Black Cat and Spellbinder is pretty much a less flamboyant Mysterio.Heck, he even teams up with the "Terrific Trio" a Johnny Storm-less analogy for the Fantastic Four, and his archenemy is an evil GREEN industrialist.But that's the beauty of it. "Batman Beyond" combines two of my favorite things, and in the future no less.Terry McGinnis may not be the best Batman, that'll always be Bruce Wayne, but he is absolutely a worthy successor to Batman.The show may be kid-oriented, but it has its fair share of dark and mature storytelling, because even as a teenager in a kid's show, Batman is still the goddamn Batman.

During the 90's, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment made some classic animated show's such as, "Batman: The Animated Series" and "Superman: The Animated Series". But in 1999, they released, "Batman Beyond".Set in a futuristic Gotham City, the show is about a a 16-year old trouble maker named, Terry McGinnis. When his father get's killed, he get's help from Bruce Wayne, who use to be Batman, to get revenge. After when Terry get's his revenge, Bruce want's Terry to protect Gotham City from evil criminal's including familiar face's like Mr. Freeze.I use to watch this show on Cartoon Network when I was little and it did impress me.Pro's: The character's were interesting. Terry is a rebellious teenager who end's up being a good person in the end. Bruce is old and still has that tough attitude of his. Also, the villain's were pretty interesting including the teenager who has telekinetic power's (Forgot what his name is). The animation was amazing because it has a nice, "Blade Runner", feel to it and it stay's true to how dark the setting is.Overall, "Batman Beyond", is a great animated show for any Batman fan or anyone looking for a good animated show to watch.

Just like BTAS, this show stands on it's own two feet..err wings. The story line is slick, plots engrossing, and consistently fast paced. It's a shame that this series ended too early since it first premiered on the WB back in the late nineties at a time when cartoons really were at their best as opposed to nowadays with soulless crap. Had this series lasted a little longer, I would've been really happy. As it stands, this is one of the best Batman cartoons created for the new millennium; equally on par with the earlier Batman cartoons. Forget the crap that is "The Batman" and get this series and the original to truly grasp what the Dark Knight is and should forever be.
