Various feature film efforts have emphasized the darker side of Bruce Wayne's alter-ego (Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan's efforts in particular), while the original TV show was a deliriously camp affair. The animated BATMAN BEYOND TV show proves to be an entertaining addition to the canon, and the esteem in which it is held has resulted in a full-length animated escapade for the superhero, titled THE RETURN OF THE JOKER. With Bruce Wayne retired, Terry McGinnis takes up the Batman mantle, and dons the famous costume to go into battle with arch enemy, The Joker. When The Joker goes after the aging Wayne and almost kills him, McGinnis swears to bring down the fiendish villain once and for all. His quest reveals some fascinating facts about the history of the Batman/Joker rivalry, and leads to a valuable and exciting new chapter in the Batman saga. [More]

Starring: Will Friedle, Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, Angie Harmon

The PG-13 rating...reflects the mortal intensity of this most chilling of animated Batman tales.

Surprising cartoon shocker that would have made a great live action Batman movie.

The whole story is brimming with suspense, action, and humor - in short, everything a great movie can be.

While it may be a very good movie, it's not one you'll watch over and over again.

If the premise of Batman Beyond was originally a gimmick, it has become one that is equally innovative and carefully crafted.
