Movie Reviews of Batman Beyond - Season One (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Movie Review: Futuristic Batman
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Movie Review: Brings Back Memories
Summary: 5 Stars
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!Movie Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
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 seasons for 13 a piece and thats a heck of a deal. Highly recommend it to Batman fans or cartoon fans. Its that good. Movie Review: Loved it from the Start
Summary: 5 Stars
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 what you are getting are there is little new territory to be explored. However, with Batman Beyond, Paul Dini and Company created something where each week I became genuinely curious as to what was going to happen next.
I hope all of these millions of Americans that are pouring out to see The Dark Knight (an excellent film) give Batman Beyond a chance. I think it is a cartoon that can be enjoyed just as much (if not more) by adults, than children!
Movie Review: Batman is Back!
Summary: 5 Stars
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 as Bane and Mr. Freeze appearances. New villians such as Inque, Golem, Shriek, Spellbinder and Currare are introduced. Includes an interesting twist on villians like a new batch of the Royal Flush Gang and the Jokerz a street gang that idolizes the Joker. In the episode Heroes the Terrific Trio, a parody of the Fantastic Four, appear as 2D Man (Mr. Fantastic), Freon (Invisible Girl), and Magma (Combination Thing and Human Torch).
Cons - Batman's new arch-nemesis is Blight a great character with a great story line. The tension builds but the final battle is anti-climactic. You don't know if Blight is killed or gets away. He never reappears in the rest of the series and the question is never really resolved. A dissapointing season finale.
