Description:
Terry McGinnis was just an ordinary teenager...until his father was mysteriously murdered. Suspecting foul play at his father's company Wayne/Powers Corporation, Terry meets Bruce Wayne and learns a secret identity hidden for decades. Now too old to battle injustice, Wayne refuses to help. So Terry does what any brash young kid would do: steal the Batsuit and take matters into his own hands! Vowing to avenge his father's death, Terry dons the high-tech suit ? tricked out with jetpacks, a supersensitive microphone and even camouflage capabilities ? in search of his father's assassin. Get in on the action from the beginning of a new partnership between an ex-crimefighter and his apprentice.

Amazon.com:
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

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Futuristic Batman
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brings Back Memories
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!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome
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 ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Loved it from the Start
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 ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Batman is Back!
As a hardcore Batman fanboy since the 80's I was skeptical of how the producers would portray a futuristic Batman. I'm a Frank Miller's Batman kind of guy so I worried it wouldn't be as dark as the comics. I was wrong. Though the technology has improved human nature is still a mixed bag and Gotham is still filled with murderers, theives and psycopaths.

Pros - The 2 part episode Rebirth gives a good reason why Bruce Wayne retires and introduces our new hero Terry McGinnis. Old villians such ... Read More
