  Excellent Follow Up To Batman The Animated Series

  When Batman Beyond first came on air I didn't think it would be all that great. To me Bruce Wayne would always be Batman and I didn't see how you could have it any other way. Then I got the DVDs and I saw how wrong I was! If you're a fan of Batman The Animated series I think you will really like this. It takes place years after when Bruce Wayne is elderly and has retired as Batman. But he becomes a mentor to someone else who takes up the Batman mantle and it works out very well. You will get some visits from some other familiar Batman characters such as the villains, and that is a real treat. I would recommend most of these episodes. Out Of The Past is especially one of my favorites, and if you're a fan of Batman The Animated series I'm sure you'll like it too. You can't go wrong with most of these episodes. They made Batman Beyond something new but did a good job paying tribute to the old Batman. The extras are very nice with Bruce Timm and Paul Dini being interviewed, as well as there being informative and interesting commentaries. T here are only two negatives to this set It comes with a bonus disc that has the documentary Secret Origins on it. This documentary deals with the history of Detective Comics, but the problem is it doesn't have as much detail as it should. You'll have to read some books or do some research on the internet if you want to learn more about the history of Detective Comics. The other negative is it doesn't include the movie Batman Beyond Return Of The Joker, which is indeed tied to this series. So you get every single episode of the TV series here, but you'll need to buy Return Of The Joker separately, which is well worth it. Batman Beyond was an excellent follow up to the fantastic Batman The Animated Series. I wish Batman Beyond got better closure than it did with the final episode on this set and the Justice League episode Epilogue, but by no means should the ending keep you from buying this set. Bruce Timm and Paul Dini were an excellent team and we have them to thank for this interesting direction they took Batman in. I highly recommend this set.

  A cyberpunk depiction of a teen who takes the mantle of an elderly Batman in the future is great for fans but its overpackaging puts the price too high. Doesn't contain the movie 'Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker' in either its edited or unedited versions. 9 discs play well with a commentary history disc on DC Comic industries. Holds a 15 page booklet of sketches that's so-so on your tastes. The set is a box placated with a DVD case of stated discs for all 3 seasons. Fairly priced than to buy all seasons at once, but could gone for less. With French/ English dubs, captioned for Spanish/English/ French.
