This was my first exposure to the Batman Beyond universe so it took me a little bit to get used to it. Once I got into though, it turned out to be a really awesome story. Joker is as evil as ever.

Been crazy busy, so this is all I've managed to watch over the past while and I had to watch it in four sittings. Very frustrating.

Anyway, it is amazing how much The Joker as a character, Hamill's Joker in-particular, improves a Batman story. This is likely why I enjoy The Dark Knight most out of the Nolan films and the first of the Burton films as well. The character is a perfect blend of psychosis and humour that works so well in this world. The story here was pretty decent, though the final climax was lacking and a bit obvious.

Definitely a fun little movie and much better than the first film, but I am still not 100% sure I like the new Batman himself. Everything surrounding him is good, but his character leaves a little to be desired. Fortunately there is enough other stuff going on here to keep me invested. The Christopher Walken Scarecrow slayed me; hilarious.

No lie, this might be one of my favorite Batman stories not-in-print. My good friend Bear recommended it to me and holy shit, I did NOT expect such a great story to unfold, one that any fan of Batman MUST see. Dark as hell, but worth the creepy ride. SO good.

Watching the Unedited cut for the first time was a real eye-opener. Surely the darkest and most violent thing the DCAU ever produced. The animation is amazingly fluid - the scene of Terry falling asleep on his feet while dancing is a master class in facial expressions. I was a little miffed by how badly the producers threw Tim Drake under the bus, but this is a fantastic realization of the "Batman Beyond" world.

Surprisingly mature and exceptionally dark, even creepy at times. When viewed through the lens of this being a kid's film, this movie is particularly exceptional as it contains what is probably the most violence a cartoon can contain and still be appropriate for the 9-up crowd (it also contains what I'm guessing is the most psychological damage a character can visibly suffer through in a kid's film, though I assume the bar for that is pretty low).

The movie plays out as a mystery in a lot of ways, and is arguably the most cerebral of the Batman animated series movies. It does have its action sequences, though, and they’re all very well done, especially the flashback scene and the final battle. It should be reasonably easy to follow for somebody who hasn’t watched the Batman Beyond TV series, but obviously will be most fun for those who have. The film has a plot hole here and there, but nothing that would seriously disrupt the enjoyment of the film. On the whole, while it may not be essential viewing for every Bat-fan, I think most would enjoy it. Read full review.

Pretty good movie. Animation looks great. Joker is great as usual.

okay

The first of the Beyond generation to capture the atmosphere of TAS - brooding and genuinely upsetting in places.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
