Batman Beyond

When I first saw the series one of the things on my mind were, what happened to the old vilians, where were they and what are they doing now. It was great to see Victor Fries/Mr. Freeze once more and this episode is very much about him. Victor Fries/Mr. Freeze I always felt was a sympahtic villain because he was a person afflicted with great loss and unfortunately in the future it doesn't get any easier for him. In a way this is a story about someone that is not just looking for redemption but trying to find his place in the modern era. As he explores more of the era, you really do feel a sense of pathos for him. One of the sad moments was when he visited the grave of his wife, it's always sad knowing a tie from your past is gone forever which can make one feel lost.



I really liked some of the back and forth between Batman and him, it also showed that Terry is not as narrow minded in ethical beliefs as Bruce/Batman which has been both a strength and weakness of Batman. And Terry is right after all Victor really isn't evil just guilty of doing certain bad things is all, and when Victor was human he was a good guy that wanted to give things to the world, finally in the future he has that chance.



And from what happens to him and the fact the female Doctor and the company he trusted double crossed him for their own selfish and evil gains. He begins to see that there really is no place for him in the modern world, we see him give to the world in the only way he can which is to do bad by trying to destroy that company that brings only misery to the world. It was both interesting and sad at the same time seeing him go the direction he was going. The ending was heartsinking, there wasn't really any victory in the end only one great casulty. Victor Fries in the end was a good man, his heart was never made of ice but was as human and warm as anyone else.

This episode was awesome. It is about as perfect as any episode can be. This episode was all about Mr. Freeze, one of the coolest villains ever. We also got to see a new villain, Blight. Mr. Freeze is such a great character that I can get emotionally involved with and that is just what happened in this episode. I felt bad for Mr. Freeze. It was so cool to see the new Batman face off against one of Bruce Wayne's old foes. Having Blight and Mr. Freeze go at it was really nice and Blight also had a great fight with Terry. Check this episode out if you haven't already. It is a must see for true Batman fans.

Wow!! What can i say about this one? On the surface it looks like it was some loosly drawn together plot to bring in one of the original Batman villians. But if u look closer, u'll see that this touches on the idea that not all of Batman's rogues were/are "inherently evil". I believe Freeze would have gone straight and atoned willingly had the process not failed. But as far as Wayne's stance on it, I can certainly understand why he would be him. There is your 1st bit of real friction between Terry and Bruce since the series opener and it was handled well. I think Blight/Powers was slightly out of character but as i've recently found out from another animated series(the new "The Batman") being mutated like that does something to unhinge u mentally too. ne way, i of my favorite episodes of the whole series.

One of the greatest episodes of the series. It really captured the essence of Victor. The pun were priceless. Remember there might be some momentary discomfort is one of the greatest quotes ever.. and done right before he kills Dr. Lake. I recommend any fan of the series view this episode

I have always like the character of mr freeze, even when arnie had a go, so when i saw this episode im sure it was going to be a good one. Basically Powers needs a new body, so he experiments and brings mr freeze back to life- well, hes already alive he just needed a body. The episode that follows is brilliant.we see an even more emotional mr freeze, bringing the charater to life. Things mess up and freeze then reforms to his old self and starts to chill things up. This is a great episode as it shows us that not all villans ar bad 24-7 and that they are human

Derek powers AKA the supervillain Blight is getting frusterated because he can't seen to keep his skin on anymore without melting it. A young docter decides to try out a new experiment that she has been working on, they need a test subject so they choose MR.Freeze as he is now only a head. He is given a new body and presumed to be good but bruce doesn't think so and he is right. In the end Mr. Freeze dies. every epsiode mr. freeze has been in has been one big story arc and it is finally finished in this episode. I like seeing old batman villains on the show because it is neat to see how terry takes them on. This is one of the best in season 1. Later...
