Batman Beyond

A scientist is sent to kill wanye and batso with his sonic power suit, by powers.Powers is looking to expand the company into the historical district and demolish the old building in the process.

Wayne is rousing the shareholders against him



The scientists shreve

quickly demolishs most of old town and put wayne in hospital .There he starts to hear voices taunting him and telling him to commit suicide.



Msginnis must bust wayne out of the gotham mental home and prove hes not mad and of course take town shreve now calling himself shriek.



Okay the villian has a cool outfit and good powers .

Hes now push over this is all good.

The "wayne go crazy" plot was alot darker than toons normally get.As was wayne's reason for not wanting to forget the historical district where his parents were murdered.Well done to them.

The final battle had a slightly poetic twist at the end

sucks to be shreve.



My bugs are few

this plot was used a few eps ago the whole "wayne opposes powers and hire a supervillian to ice him" plot was done in black out and done better.



secondly the big one

Shreve a scientist seems to go over tothe dark side with out even a slight push??

was he already a sociopath?

we dont know??

Powers just tells him to do it and thats that

Buh??



A good episode some nice dark turns

watch enjoy

Shreeve/Shriek is another example of a great original villian for Batman Beyond. The thing I remember the most about this episode was when I first watched it and there was ABSOLUTELY NO SOUND. Batman was fighting Shriek and you couldn't hear anything. He couldn't even hear his own footsteps. I tried to imagine being able to see without hearing and trying to fight. It was an impossible thing to do. I think you are be better off being blind and fighting then you are at being deaf. You can still see when something is coming but you have no idea when it is coming. There is no anticipation without sound. If you can hear then you can anticipate an impact. You can't see where it's coming from but at least you know it's coming. I thought it was cool that a cartoon inspired me to experiment with my senses.

this was a great episode in that it took Bruce out of the loop so to speak and let the writers experiment with Terry being on his own for once (very unusual for their earlier episodes). with Bruce hopsitalized and being taunted by Shriek (the episode's villian) trying to make him think and seem like he's out of his mind it allowed viewers to see the original Batman from a different light. Terry's undercover work needed some work help but they get a pass on it because as one of my friends so nicely reminded me (before i wrote this) is that we're dealing with a high school kid doing this super-hero thing for the first time. all in all, like i said a great episode from start to finish....

One of my favourite Batman Beyond episodes. A guy named Shreeve (sp?) who researches sound for Mr. Powers, develops a suit that generates ultra low frequency vibrations that can be aimed at any direction the wearer chooses, to make work easier for construction workers, and road builders. But Mr. Powers isn't interested in that, and orders him to get rid of Bruce Wayne.
