Show Summary

  • Ended
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.

    This show was amazing in the fact that it was the dark, gritty little brother of the B:TAS. It had compelling storylines, divine character developement and of course the voices of Will Friedle and Kevin Conroy(in my opinion the best actor to ever play Bruce Wayne even if it was just voice work). This could of gone so much longer but as they say only the good die young.
  • Hope it comes back on soon

    It is the best batman show around. It is so awesome and I wish it was on more. I am happy to say that I have heard that it is coming back to the Kids W B sometime soon!!! I hope this is true. I'll have to continue to check around but it would be SOOOOOOO awesome.

    The show doesn't get the credit it deserves. Yes I know people we're probably mad because of the new batman. But Terry McGinnis has become so popular that he is going to be part of the DC Universe in the near future. Gotham is a tech wasteland and the youth has run amok, and Terry McGinnis is part of the problem. During a fight with Jokerz, Terry was saved by Bruce Wayne, who was Batman. Terry sees a chance to avenge his father's death. Bruce Wayne sees Terry as a successor and he becomes Batman. This show is great, dark (they actually say kill, dead, and died) it doesn't beat around the bush. One of my favorite animated series ever.moreless

    Absolutely my favorite Batman show ever. It is definitely one of my favorite animated tv series i've watched. All episodes are fun, well written, action packed, never dull a moment. This show's got it all, we see bits of Justice League In the third season of Batman Beyond, a two-part story entitled "The Call", which featured (for the first time) the futuristic Justice League. Justice League Unlimited revisited the world of Batman Beyond twice in 2005. The first time featured Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern transported 50 years into the future to stop a time-traveling villain with the help of the future Justice League Unlimited cast, including Terry McGinnis as Batman and a future Static. The second time occurred during the episode "Epilogue", where the true secret origin of the future Batman is learned in a story meant to actually be the series finale for this Batman's story. The only villain we can't actually see in the series is Joker, but thankfully there's a movie for that Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, which is amazing.moreless
