Genre: Children's Video Rating: NR Release Date: 21-MAR-2006 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com: Batman Beyond was the futuristic follow-up to the acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series from the team of Paul Dini, Alan Burnett, Andrea Romano, and others (though less self-winking for comics fans than that series). High school kid Terry McGinnis's run-in with a biker gang called the Jokers leads to a chance encounter with a rich recluse named Bruce Wayne. McGinnis soon discovers that 20 years ago Wayne was Batman, but has since retired from active duty. Not getting any help from Wayne, McGinnis swipes the Bat suit--now tricked-up with enhanced strength, flight capability, and nifty gadgets--and sets out to right a wrong perpetrated by his father's former business partner, Derek Powers. Subsequent adventures in the 13-episode season deal with some teen hang-ups as well as supervillains, who are mostly new except for Bane and Mr. Freeze. Excellent voice work is by Will Friedle (McGinnis), Kevin Conroy (continuing his role from Batman: The Animated Series), Stockard Channing (as Commissioner Barbara Gordon), and guest stars including Star Trek's George Takei. --David Horiuchi Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - The Tomorrow KnightAfter the success of Batman: The Animated Series, Warner Bros. approached Paul Dini and Bruce Timm to create a new Batman series. WB wanted the next-generation Dark Knight to be a child with a suped-up motorcycle because they felt it would appeal to new, younger viewers. That idea didn't fly with Dini and Timm, so they reworked the premise and came up with Batman Beyond, a surprisingly dark, unexpected take on Bruce Wayne's successor to the Bat-mantle. Set a good thirty years in the ...

Take him into the future of course. And that's exactly what the Batman Animated Series team did after they finished their last regular season of that series. Season One of Batman Beyond delivered many answers to questions Batman fans had alwasy asked themselves: namely, what would Bruce Wayne be doing at age 60, 70, or 80? Obviously he couldn't be Batman forever and the show opens on that very ... Read More Rating: - Batman Beyond Review Season 1I enjoyed this and so did my daughter. We are both huge fans of Batman. This new series, "Batman Beyond," does a great job of picking up the torch and carrying it with pride. Bruce Wayne is limited in what he can do to help the new Batman because of his age and health, but he still rocks. This series of DVD is from the first season. We meet a lot of new bad guys, great new story lines and see new technology that will make Batman fans of all ages happy. I would highly recommend this for children over ... Read More Rating: - I AM Batman!It's funny how times changes things. Some people freaked out when the new Battlestar Galactica had a female Starbuck. Countless groaned at the actors who played the future Vader in the Star Wars prequels. Right now I can't stand the new Star Trek movie. And way back in the day when this show was new, I didn't like it at all. If you are/were an ultra-fan of Batman the Animated Series like I was, your first reaction to this show might have been what mine was...I thought it was terrible. The ... Read More Rating: - Almost!This series is almost amazing, but never goes as dark and deep as The Animated Series went. In my opinion, the best episodes in this set are "Meltdown" and "Black Out". Still, I recommend it to anyone who wants to see how they take Batman in the future.
