Movie Reviews of Batman Beyond: Season Three (DC Comics Classic Collection)Movie Review: Batman Beyond-Season Three......... Summary: 5 Stars
In the third and last season of Batman Beyond, we see Terry(aka the New Batman)becoming a Batman of his own with less help from Bruce. This itself affects alot of the plot lines and such in the episodes. The season kicks off with "King's Ransom" and the return of the Royal Flush Gang with Terry falling in love with one of its' members. Yet, the gang aren't the only villains to return. Inque, The Kobra Clan, Charlie Bigalow, you name it. Course, my favorite episode has to be "The Call" which shows Terry joining The Justice League. Sadly, this volume only contains 13 episodes and ends on a rather dull note with the episode, "Unmasked".
My gripe is the same as before with seasons on DVD, there's just not enough extras here to suit me. Bonuses here include: "Inside Batman Beyond Season 3" which is a ten minute long look at the producer's favorite moments and ideas they came up with but never got to film, such as an episode where Terry actually finally made a date with his girlfriend instead of missing out - a pretty formulaic element of the show. They also admit the show ended on a lower note then they might have liked. "Closeup on..." takes those producers and pairs them up with Will Friedle for brief discussions on a few of the thirteen episodes in the set. You'd be surprised at how much Friedle knows about the show and his character.
Personally, I thought Batman Beyond was a great but short-lived show. It's funny(for lack of a better term) how, once the show got its' legs to stand on, the 'powers that be' yank the plug on the show. I liked it because it was a darker take on Batman, per se'. I'll admit, it took me a little while to warm up to the show but, once I did, I loved it. It had very clever storylines, beautifully designed action sequences, and was animated in a more anime-style. What more could a fan ask for?
Another thing that saddens me about the show is that, during this time, a live-action movie was planned on the show. That really would have been something to see and maybe we could've seen a proper ending to Terry's story. Alas, it didn't happen.
I highly recommend this show to any Batman fan. Get all three seasons. It is a great show. It took me a little over 6 months to complete the series on DVD but it was well worth it!!!
