Batman Beyond premiered on January 10, 1999. It told the story about a new and different Batman. It takes place far in the future, years after Batman appeared for the last time. Terry McGinnis rekindles the fire in Bruce Wayne's bitter old heart, and takes up the role as the new Dark Knight - with the old one as his mentor. With a new ruler of Gotham City, Derek Powers, crime is at an all-time high. After Terry finds out Bruce's secret and his father is killed, Terry becomes the new Batman. He has to juggle life being a superhero, and being a high school student. He's a more high-tech Batman, with rocket boots and cloaks. He's the Knight of Tomorrow.

Spin-off: The Zeta Project.

  Did anyone noticed that there are lot of allusions to Marvel's superheroes in this cartoon? -In the "Heroes" the villains look very like the Fantastic Four (minus Human Torch) -In "Golem" there was a geeky guy who after he got powers wanted to get even with the school bully (like Peter Parker aka Spider-Man) -In "Dissapearing Inque" Bruce uses a power armor which he stopped using because of his sick heart - doesn't that reminding of Tony Stark aka Iron Man? -In the movie "the Return of the Joker" Terry mentions that the Joker could be alive because he might have been criogenicaly frozen - like Captain America. Weird isn't it? DC giving homages to his archenemy - Marvel less «

  Ok I'm confused I watched the movie is the Joker really dead did he really die before or in the movie but why off Gotham Girls  Harley Quinn said that she was always trying to break Joker out of jail that took place after the 4th season of B:TNA or GK and that flashback was it in the series or not is the Joker Timm Drake is Timm Drake the Joker did the Joker die When Batman joined JL-JLU, Batgirl, Nightwing, went solo Robin with the Titans JL had eps with Joker and Batman had already split up with his group. But the show times are different Joker really coudln't of died because on Worlds Finest S:TAS an ep when the ship was blowing up he was laughing we know what that means he can't die so.He also appeares on Staic Shock or the creators just would have him die for the movie could you guys help me out. B:TNA 1997-1998 I think or GK Gothmam Girls took place 2000 -2003 JL-JLU 2001-2006 Teen Titans 2003-2006 Static Shock 2000-2004 Batman Beyond 1999-2001 on hiatus B:TAS 1992-1995 S:TAS 1996-2000 less «

  7.5 Good

  Though it offers the 'teen Batman' that the network suits wanted, this animated take on the Dark Knight's future is an entertaining series and does justice to the legacy of the character. hide « show »

  Batman Beyond does not suck. It feels really good to say that, because so often these network-driven changes result in programs that suck the life out of the related property and replace it with bland, mind-numbing drivel. But to the credit of Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, Alan Burnett and the incredibly talented folks behind this project, this animated series is a great look into one possible future for Batman (and at the moment, is actually the official future for the DC animated universe which also includes Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League unlimited).
  
  There's a great blending of old and new. Our origin for the new Batman does involve the murder of a parent and the desire to see criminals brought to Justice. But Terry McGinnis also packs the wisecracks of Spider-Man and the firepower of Iron Man - he's using a futuristic costume and Batmobile, and he's wired into the cave where an aging Bruce Wayne mans the consoles and provides tactical support. Terry's rogue's gallery also offers new takes on classic concepts: Inque is an oil-based variation on Clayface, Spellbinder combines Mad Hatter and Scarecrow, and Derek Powers is a Lex Luthor-style industralist with a hidden secret that turns him into a monster. Toss in an older Barbara Gordon as police commissioner and there's enough new material to take in while still feeling right at home.
  
  What really sells this show though, is the sharp writing and great design sense that helped guide the previous Batman/Superman cartoons. This may be teen Batman, but the writing is spot-on, especially the banter between Terry and Bruce. Gotham may be futuristic but it's still just as dirty and dreary as before - think Blade Runner meets Akira. In general, the first season actually skews quite dark while later seasons focus more on Terry's high school problems and become a bit lighter in tone. Even then the show never comes close to going kiddy, and always remains consistently enjoyable.
  
  Batman Beyond may not have the name recognition of Batman, Superman, and the Justice League, but it's a worthy piece of the animated DC continuity and is worth watching if you're a Batman fan.

  I miss this show hide « show »

  One of the few shows that raised the quality level of American animation to the heights of Anime. Along with The New Adventures of Batman, Superman: TAS and JLU, this group became the holy quartet of animation. Batman Beyond is incredibly innovative, well directed and voiced by some of the best well trained actors. The design of the animation is mind blowing to an unbelievable degree and every episode is an enticing story. I have yet to come across a US animated series that is half as good as Batman Beyond. The release of the complete series on DVD was the best set to come out in awhile.

  A very great sci-fi beginning of Batman hide « show »

  Batman Beyond (Batman of the Future in Europe) is a very influential TV Show for teens and Kids WB fans. Batman Beyond has great action, great style, and great characters. This TV Show has a very awesome new beginning with Bruce Wayne as an old senior citizen and his biological son (Terry McGinnis) takes over the job of Batman The Dark Knight and now he is the Batman of the Future, The Tomorrow Knight. It has some of the coolest heroes, and some of the coolest villains.
  If you are a fan of Batman, watch this tv show. It is great!

  Great Sequel! hide « show »

  Two words: Great Show! The only thing I didn't like about this show was how Bruce was a lonely old man and that whole thing what the Joker did to Tim. Not that those things weren't will write and stuff. I just think Bruce deserve more happiness then what the writers gave him. It also doesn't change the fact that this is still a really great cartoon. You know it a great when no matter how old you get you can still find something in a series that entertains you. I did wish we could have Dick in the series.

  The Perfect Legacy hide « show »

  Batman Beyond its the perfect end-legacy of the Batman franchise when an old Bruce Wayne leaves the mantle of the bat forever but a kid (his father was killed) will take the shadow of the bat to make justice again in Gotham
  My favorite episodes, off course, are "Black Out", "Dessappering Inque", "Inqueling", "The Call I" and "Countdown" (All the Inque episodes)
  Really Batman Beyond its a perfect close-up of the Batman franchise after an un-numbered kind of Batman animated TV show imagine that producers decide to take all the Batman's animated show and put it together on a DVD set i hope one day they do that (Imagine like all Buffy seasons on one DVD set)
  Awsome Batman Beyond close a legend and leaves a perfect lecacy!!
