What’s ‘Batman Beyond’ About?
The original series took place in the same beloved continuity that housed shows likeBatman: The Animated Series,Superman: The Animated Seriesand Justice League. Starting out in 2019, the series opens up on Batman’s last night when Bruce suffers a stroke while fighting some low-level goons. Without thinking, he pulled a gun on them to defend himself and that was the moment he knew it was time to hang up the cowl. The series would then jump to 2039 when high school studentTerry McGinnis stumbles upon the Batcave and takes the batsuit to get revenge on Derek Powers aka Blight, who’s responsible for the murder of his father. Even though Bruce is reluctant to help Terry in his crusade at first, he eventually partners up with him because Gotham will always need a Batman. The series would run for52 episodes over the course of three seasonswith an additional critically acclaimed direct-to-video movie in 2000,Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.
