Batman Beyond is an older series (2006) but one not to be missed by either comic fans or science fiction fans. Some time in the future, well after Batman’s glory days, teenager Terry McGinnis tries to chase down his father’s killer and instead ends up employed by Bruce Wayne…to be the new Batman.
Beyond seems like such a more serious take on Batman. From fighting corporate greed and bioterrorism.
To stopping a bullied classmate from leveling Gotham with a golem.
The first season set includes 13 episodes as well as the standard commentaries, making of videos and sound and close caption options. It’s quite worth it. Beyond balances the tech, classic Batman and the struggle of good versus evil psychopaths. Like the best superhero stories it connects strongly to real life struggles. Not to mention there’s the fun fight scenes with body armor, mechs and liquid life forms.
