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

 Great series! But not for young children. January 1, 2009
My nephew is tough to buy for. Also, he loves Spiderman, Superman, and especially Batman. He has every toy and has seen every version of every Batman movie. Then I remembered this series from a few years back. I found this on VHS at a used book store a few years ago. He watched them and just went nuts. I mean, he was riveted from beginning to end. It is rather dark with some upsetting scenes. So don't assume it's a kids program. I'd recommend for 10 years and up. Maybe a bit younger if they are not too sensitive. I'm not really into superheroes, but this is something I can actually sit down and watch with him and not get bored to tears. The animation, voices, acting, etc are all very well done.

I love Batman. Although Batman in Batman Beyond is a different Batman, he brings with him the technology of the future and carries the original Batman's legacy into the future. Great product! I'm about to order season 2.

I am so glad I got the series set. I had really forgotten how much I love this show as a kid. Batman Beyond brings so much power and excitement to the table while staying true to its roots, with a younger hero taking on Bruce Wayne's legacy as the Dark Knight of the future. The Batman lives!
Awesome August 4, 2008
As a major fan of Batman, I wanted to watch some fresh material. I previewed it before buying and it looked awesome. I could not be more happy about the purchase. I love the story lines, the opening credits, the villians, the new Batman, everything about the show works. Its rare to see a show moving in a different direction work well and this is an exception. If your a fan of Batman, you should enjoy this. That is unless you hate change and expect Batman to always be the same. You can buy all three seasons for 13 a piece and thats a heck of a deal. Highly recommend it to Batman fans or cartoon fans. Its that good.
Loved it from the Start July 21, 2008
The day this show premiered, I woke up early in the morning and started flipping channels. I happened to stumble onto this show about 30 seconds in with no idea what I was watching. It became apparent very quickly that I was watching Batman (and I assumed the Animated Series). As the story continued I became to realize what I was watching: The most original, unexpected cartoon of the last 20 years.
I say that because with Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, etc. (all of whom I love) you know what you are getting are there is little new territory to be explored. However, with Batman Beyond, Paul Dini and Company created something where each week I became genuinely curious as to what was going to happen next.
I hope all of these millions of Americans that are pouring out to see The Dark Knight (an excellent film) give Batman Beyond a chance. I think it is a cartoon that can be enjoyed just as much (if not more) by adults, than children!
