Summary: Classic, IMO (SPOILER)
Review: I'm a huge fan of Batman. I've read the comics, I've seen all 4 live-action flicks (...), I've been a huge fan of the animated series, & I've seen every movie the show's spinned-off. I was always a little weary of Terry M. bein' the new Batman. I couldn't really picture any one else taking Bruce Wayne's place (jean-paul valley n/e one?). But I liked where "Batman Beyond" stood. They still kept connections w/ the original series, & gave hints to whereabouts of former characters like Robin & Nightwing. I don't think there was ever any kind of show like it. Anyway, with BB:ROTJ, I simply loved it. Bruce Wayne's coldness & fear is shown in spades in this movie, for he knows the dangers of the original Joker, and doesn't even want futuristic Batman goin' up against him. Terry's character is tested too. Hearing about the original Rogues Gallery, & taking on his own "Rogues Gallery" including Inque & Shriek, have made Terry sorta cocky, since he underestimates the Joker by calling him a "garden-variety clown who threatened ppl w/ whoopie cushions & squirting flowers." Boy is he wrong. The addition of former Batgirl, Barbara Gordon, adds more mystery to this movie as to why the Joker was such a real threat when she, Bruce, & Robin # 2 Tim Drake took him on...Joker truly shows his demented, pshychotic side in this film. In the animated series, you can sorta classify Joker as well... a joke in such episodes as "Almost Got 'Im" & "Joker's Millions." Here, he is downright scary & mean. As said in the Director's Comments, Joker gases Bruce Wayne and leaves it to be found by Terry M. a la the way Terry found his father murdered. A lot of people sorta detest the way they brought Joker back to the future world, by saying it's too corny. I wouldn't say it's THAT corny. In the cut version, you see a glimpse of Robin being straped to the operating thing... that's it... but in the uncut, you Joker actually executing his plan on poor, young Robin. Once you see that, it's not corny anymore. In fact, the cut version of BB:ROTJ pales to the uncut. Anyway, you'd think that turning (SPOILER)Robin in "Joker Jr." is stupid. Well.. it isn't. Literally, Joker goes into the depths of Tim's mind, ripping apart everything he stands for, filling his mind with such hatred & insanity... who the hell would do THAT to a kid? That's just downright mean... it's chilling... The animation is kewl despite what ppl say. I noticed that some guy who said "WHERE'S MAXINE?" That the laser part wuz a total rip-off of the classic original scene from Akira... well GUESS WHO ANIMATED THE LASER PART IN BB:ROTJ? the same guy who did Akira all those years ago ....The music is great .... nice collaboration of orchestral & rock music. All in all, I like ROTJ. The uncut is way better however, b/c it shows a lot more of Robin's fate... it aint pretty...

Summary: Movie?
Review: I was a bit disappointed. Being a movie I expected a little more from it. It just seemed like a longer TV episode, just a touch edgier. I do like the move, and the TV show. I think this batman spin-off is as good as the old batman cartoon in its own way, and I am a bit disappointed that it did not last longer. It had much better writing than the new batman series the WB is running now (The Batman). I would suggest anyone who liked the TV series check the move out but don't expect more just because it is a movie.

Summary: Batman : Return of the Joker (2000)
Review: This animated movie of the new batman left me in total amazement. It had suspense like the real batman would bring to any scene. Action and mystery. I give this movie 5 stars do to its incredible story line and heart stopping terror. If you enjoy batman for its action and its tight spot trouble then you will love Batman Beyond: ROTJ!

Summary: Return of the Joker is return of a winner!
Review: I have to admit, i bought the 3 pack that included mask of phantasm, batman beyond, and subzero in it so for me to buy batman beyond the uncut version was a tough decision. I read a few reviews for it on here and decided to buy it. It was a good investment. I watched this movie and was amazed at how different it was. Don't be fooled that its only a minute more than the cut version. Theres scenes that have been altered so much that it amazes me that the difference is only 1 minute since half the movie is different. Lets say this, you actually see more fighting scenes, see how jokers henchman is really taken care of, and also how the joker really dies (yes he dies differently in this one than the cut one). also what happens to robin is slightly different as well. All in all I want you to give this one a chance as it has enough differences to add to your collection and make you watch both of them to notice how different they are. oh I also wanted to note that another reviewer said in this one you'll see why Bruce walks with a limp. It contributes to it but isn't the cause. Don't forget in Rebirth they show older batman and hes not limping, but with what happens in this movie as well when in i believe batman TAS in robins reckoning when batmans leg is busted, all that contributes to the limp (think its the same leg he has trouble with too). But i give that reviewer props as hes one of the reasons i decided to get the uncut version of this film :)

Summary: One of the best movies, for sure!!
Review: This is new Batman living in the shadows of the old one (Bruce), with an addiction. His old fellow and worst enemy, the Joker, strikes back with a killing joke. Terry heard about the legendary evil clown, but never get details of his past, and with Bruce fighting death with the most terrible killer attempt against him, Terry feels that he will face a real enemy! The final battle between him and Joker are simply awesome!!! Even with an update of Batman, the creators respected the legacy and the past of the old one, once idealized by Bob Kane, producing a terrific movie masterpiece, the final Joker's symphony!! There are a great flashback in the middle of the animation, a fantastic sequence with Bruce as Batman that will make any Batman fan with a huge smile in the face! You'll get really surprised in the end of the movie!! It's really incredible, like a simple Batman animation is strongly superior than any live action there. I strongly recommend this one, if you're a Batman fan like me!! Oh, I cannot finish without considering the outstanding soundtrack, specially the theme played by Static-X and Kenny Wayne Shepperd, just a killer theme!!

Summary: A slap in the face to "Batman"
Review: This cheaply-animated garbage is a cruel mockery of the beloved Batman we all grew up with.The backbrounds are cheaply animated,the characters are overly violent and overly dramatic nad there's no plot whatsover.This is definately not a children's show,and I doubt adults will be able to sit still through this disturbing cartoon.The whole"Batman Beyond" setries is a very disturbing cartoons-not even a psycho would be able to enjoy this series.
If you want a GOOD Batman show,go with "Batman & Robin" or the original 60s Batman TV series.

Summary: A great Batman animated film
Review: Sometime in summer 2002, my brother happened to tune into Toonami while he was browsing on the TV. I happened by and noticed that Batman Beyond was on...or so I thought. Something told me that this was no ordinary BB episode. So I stayed and watched a little, and after the eerie opening credits my guess was right. This was Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.
Now I am a Batman fan, and I've seen most of the live action movies as well as Mask of the Phantasm. So I had to give Batman Beyond a try. I was slow to warm up to the TV series, but Return of the Joker was much different. This, my friend, was an awesome detective film, and if I'm not mistaken, that's what Batman is all about.
The name of the film speaks for itself. The Joker (one of my favorite Bat-rogues) somehow manages to return from the dead, and he's ready to give Gotham City some serious hell. It's up to the new Batman, Terry McGuiness, to take him down permanently.
Exactly how the Joker came back was an interesting, yet very disturbing story. It superbly answers lots of questions, such as Bruce Wayne's limp and why he was opposed to Terry being Batman in both this film and the first episode of the TV series. It also gives you a look into how seriously evil the Joker is. I was kind of surprised myself, and began to understand why there is an edited version of the film.
The film score was wonderful - it used some of the tencho music from the original TV series along with some serious orchestra that's reminiscent of Mask of the Phantasm. The opening credits theme still remains one of my favorite tunes, next to Spider-Man and Batman (1989). The voices are magnificent - Kevin Conroy really carries Bruce Wayne out well. Mark Hamill...he shows you just how demented the Joker really is (he rivals Nicholson's performance in the 1989 Batfilm in my opinion). Will Friedle (did I spell that right?) delivers a serious side to Terry McGuiness, a side that tell you that he is ready to take the Batman responsibility.
My verdict: a great Batman animated film. Caution should be exercised when showing the uncut film to kids, though.
