Batman Beyond (1999–2001)
10/10
Criminally Underrated
3 March 2023
It has taken me 27 years. 27 years to finally make time to watch Batman Beyond for the first time. I started it last week and had just not long finished watching the final episode as well as rewatching Return of The Joker. Funny enough, Return of The Joker was my introduction to Batman Beyond as a kid. Never knew there was a Beyond series until a couple of years later. It's always been in the back of my mind to watch the TV series, even during my rewatches of Return of The Joker but never made time until last week

I really love Batman Beyond seeing it for what it truly is. It not's only a legacy or a spinoff done right it is a masterpiece and right up there with the legendary Batman The Animated Series. The Neo Gotham which very cyberpunk mixed with like the Gotham City from Tim Burton's Batman 89, buildings on top of buildings. The high techs, flying cars, laser guns and all things sci-fi.

One of the best highlights and focal points of Batman Beyond is the relationship between the new Batman, Terry McGuiness and Bruce Wayne who is old and very cranky. Bruce coming the terms with his own mortality with the ol " Getting old sucks" as he mentors Terry as the new Batman

The new villains for Terry's Batman are pretty good actually with their best villain being Blight who should have been Terry's Joker from the start but sadly Blight never cameback after season 1. Such potential wasted considering Terry made Blight and Blight had Terry's father killed

Needless to say if you havent seen Batman Beyond yet, make time for it. You will not be disappointed.
