Summary: If love the orginal "Batman: TAS" you will love this movie
Review: This review is based on the "uncut" verison of Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker.First off, let me comment on just the general appearence if this movie. The colors are shockingly crisp an vivid and the mixture of hand drawn animation with computer generated images is absolutely flawless. The story itsself is nearly perfect. I have never seen the new "Batman Beyond" tv series, and I don't want to, but this movie is all about showing fans of the original "Batman: The Animated Series" just what deranged mad man "The Joker" really is. By the end of this movie I saw the Joker something I had never seen him as before, pathetic and and out of his league with the new Batman. I would have given this cartoon five stars but their are two things that are preventing me from doing such a thing. #1. How the Joker is able to come back to life some 20-30 years later is weak. You would think that after Robin is rescued they would have given him a complete examination and found "Joker's little surpise". #2. I'm usualy a sucker for a feature length commentary (FLC). In this case, the FLC is completely useless, they spend too much time talking about what country's certain backgrounds were animated in and not enough time talking about story development. I personaly would have liked to have known why Bruce Wayne had wax dummies of all his old enemies in the bat cave, and why when playing with a batarang does he choose to decapitate the Two-Face dummy? If anyone with Warner Brothers reads this, I would like to see a Batman Beyond movie that has Bruce Wayne giving us some closure as to what happended to all the old villians. Was Harvey Two- Face ever able to go back to being Harvey Dent?

Summary: Too Bad They Cancelled It
Review: I loved this new tale of Batman. While cartoons aren't for everyone I found this one entertaining. The movie is just like an episode that is 3 times longer with no commercials. There is a little more action and some situations that kids might find mildly upsetting (I'd say what but I don't want to spoil the movie) but this is still a great movie. If you've seen the TV show you should like this, if not, this might be a good place to start.

Summary: A must-see movie. This one's a keeper, guys.
Review: I've seen all of the recent animated films about Batman, which include "Mask of the Phantasm", "Subzero" and "World's Finest." By far, "Return of the Joker (Uncut)" was the best of all of them. It was a riveting, but dark, movie. The plot was great. The action was great. Heck, even the music was great! Get this movie any way you possibly can, whether by video or DVD (DVD is recommended so as to enjoy in full surround sound). However, I do suggest that you rent "Batman Beyond: The Movie" if you're not acquainted with the Batman Beyond mythos. After I watched this movie, I thought that this movie was more than worthy of a theatrical release. "Return of the Joker (Uncut)" far exceeds any of the live-action Batman movies in quality and in plot. However, considering the darkness of the movie's plot, I can sort of understand why they didn't release it to theaters. It probably would've been shot down by the media because of "violence aimed at kids." I admit, this movie would be either PG-13 or PG stretched way way WAY to its limits. As mentioned before, it is a very dark movie, so warn the kids. That being said, go get the movie now and enjoy this one-in-a-million tale.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker" is a stunner. An animated movie, but it drips with realism, smart melodrama and feverish action sequences. Tension mounts throughout the movie, as all the batman cartoon series come into play, and ties them all together, all leading to the taunt climax. Batman has returned 40 years after he last put on the cape, once again protecting the people of Gotham. But one of his oldest (and he thought long gone) enemies has returned: The Joker. He pops up stealing seemingly unrelated machinery, but it's all for a diabolical purpose. Remembering what the joker caused him during their first battles, Bruce Wayne subtlely tries to steer the new Batman away from new Joker. But Terry McGinnis, the new Batman, will not shy away from the Joker. Slowly, the Batmans find out how the Joker came about in the future, and how to save the people he has used to return. The plot is Sci-fi and definetly futuristic, but very believable, and the explaination of the Joker's return even makes sense. And you never get lost in ieither. The chacters are accesible and have exceptional depth. Their development is written well throughtout the script. Visually, the movie is eye candy, but retains the ominous, dark tones that made the 90's cartoon series and the first two Batman films so satisfying. "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker" is one great movie, check it out.

Summary: This Is A Great Movie But...
Review: After viewing the edited version, I must say that the uncut Batman Beyond: Return Of the Joker is much better. Still, one thing really bugged me. On the package it said that the DVD had a full screen aspect ratio, when instead it is presented in wide-screen. I personally, find wide-screen movies annoying, because it's like sitting in the back row of a movie theater (no matter how close you sit to the tv). It would have been great if Warner Brothers put this one on a double sided disc for those (like me) who hate wide-screen movies. With that aside, If you are a Batman fan, the uncut version is the one to have.

Summary: Good Movie 3 1/2
Review: This New Batman Movie from the Batman Beyond series was enjoyable to watch. I didn't see the edited version of the movie on WB's Network, from what I hear I'm glad. I have to admit though that this is more a mature late teen-ager movie. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil has always been good voices for the series and they do justice to their characters. Overall this is a good movie and would watch it again.

Summary: Good movie, mediocre animation, good DVD
Review: Reviewing the movie: Batman Beyond (or Batman of the Future) is a spin-off of the original "Batman: The animated series (TAS)", this cartoon was the best adaptation of a comic book in the year of 1992 (and maybe still is the best), this cartoon was somehow based in the Tim Burton's Batman from 1989, but with a G rating, the stories are great, and the animation are very well done. When i buyed this DVD, i hadn't watch any episodes of Batman Beyond, but the "UNCUT" thing called my attention, but that's all, so, i didn't know what to expect about this movie. The story is very good, here you learn what happened between Batman TAS and Batman Beyond, you lear what happened with the Joker, and the Robins (Dick Grayson, Tim Drake), and Harley Quinn; the acting also is very good: Kevin Conroy is a great Batman (he was the original voice of Batman in TAS), and Mark "Luke Skywalker" Hamill in the role of the Joker (also, the voice of the Joker in TAS) which is an excellent voice for this character; maybe the only flaw was the poor animation (the same of the TV series), i expected for a movie some CGI effects or something like that. Reviewing the DVD: As the box says, the movie is "Uncut & Uncensored", so, this movie is not intended for young kids (but i think that this movie didn't deserved a PG-13 rating... maybe just a PG), the audio and video are good (presented in Widescreen), in the extras section, you get a featurette with interviews with the actors (Kevin Conroy and Will Freddlie... i expected Mark Hamill too, but he was absent :( )and the crew that made this movie possible; also you find many trailers (from this movie and other WB movies), and a music video (which is fun to watch); audio tracks and subtitles in english and french only (no spanish, sorry); the flaws of this DVD are the Card Box package (i hate those cheap boxes!) and the poor menu (i don't know why almost all the WB dvd have those flaws! (Matrix, Scooby Doo, Batman 1), i hope someday they correct these), but i guess is not big deal If you're a Batman fan (or a Batman TV series fan), you will not regret about this DVD

Summary: The Killing Joke.
Review: When the Batman Beyond series first aired on the WB network, I thought it was a joke. Batman was such a cool show and figure, that I assumed they would ruin Batman's legacy by having a "new" Batman set 40 years in the future. I was wrong because the Batman Beyond series not only stayed faithful to the Dark Knight's legacy, but extended it. A question that was raised early on in the series was, whatever happened to the Joker? That question is answered in BATMAN BEYOND: RETURN OF THE JOKER. After an absence of forty years, the Joker returns to Gotham City to wreck havoc, create chaos, and dispense death. It is the elderly Bruce Wayne's nightmare. Enter the new Batman, but is he capable of dealing with Batman's arch nemisis and most terrifying foe? Out of all the Batman movies; full length, feature films, made for television, etc.: this ranks among the best. The animation is above par and the storytelling is compelling. Younger children may find the movie frightening, but that's about it.
