Summary: Bummer!!!
Review: I only rented this movie because everywhere I looked, people where telling me that my fav. actress, Rachael Leigh Cook, was the voice of Chelsea. I don't know if this will help anyone out there but, she is not the voice of Chelsea. So if that's the only reason you want to watch it, you're not missing much. Not a great movie.

Summary: Batman Beyond is ok?
Review: I wish they would leave this Batman Craze alone. Give some other superhero a chance, like Auqaman or WonderWomen, we need a lot more animated superheros in the spotlight. I also would like to see Robin in his own series, as Nightwing. Don't get me wrong i like Batman Beyond it's just keeping the same super hero alive. Different is the key!!!! Give someone else a chance!!

Summary: Great disc. Great value for your money.
Review: I'm very pleased with this disc. The VHS version only has the pilot episode, while this DVD has the pilot and four additional episodes. It's really loaded! The picture is sharp, the colors are bright and the audio is crisp and clear. This is superior to the VHS and broadcast versions, in my opinion. Any fan of the series will definitely be pleased with this DVD.

Summary: Too Bad It's Considered A "Kiddie Flick"
Review: It is truly unfortunate that the animated film is considered "fodder" for children in this country. In Europe and Japan animation is given the respect that it so richly deserves. The writers and artists struggle long and hard to produce quality stories and they are entitled to some recognition. The genre is no better served than in this latest in the continuing saga of one Bruce Wayne, AKA Batman. To place the character as an elderly man who finds a worthy successor in the form of student Terry McGinnis was truly genius at work. The film has its share of violence that is essential to plot development. Persons who feel that the violence is inappropriate for children need to know that this is not a film designed solely for small fry. It is a movie for anyone who has ever thumbed through the pages of the comic book or sat in the theater watching the exploits of "THE DARK KNIGHT." As was in the case of the other Batman series, Kevin Conroy provides the voice of the mature Bruce Wayne; Will Friedle provides the right vocal balance between student and "superhero." Rumor has it that the "Batman Beyond - Return of the Joker" is being edited to "tone down the violent content." If this is true, then one might want to buy "Batman Beyond - The Movie" before it is recalled and receives a hatchet job.

Summary: it's just not the same
Review: It's an interesting development in the timeless Batman story, but tried and true Bat-fans may feel a twinge of resentment at this new and improved batman. Gotham is not as gritty, the stories are a little more elementary, and all in all, kids will love this.

Summary: Dazzling Gothic American Anime Grandly Re-Establishes Batman
Review: It's certainty been quite a lackluster decade for the Dark Knight of Gotham City with such massively disheartening creative travesties such as the departure of Tim Burton from creative helm ship over the film series, Joel Schumacher's (Batman Forever, Batman and Robin) misfortunately offensive one-dimensional cheapening of the entire Batman film franchise, the shamefully overly embellished stereotypical performances of Uma Thurman (holy horny Chlorophyll Batman), Arnold Schwarzenegger (Oozing with frozen ham in every bite!), Tommy Lee Jones (Golden Raspberry quality for both performances), and Jim Carrey (Please give him some Valium!), Batman having been contradictory played by a different person in virtually every sequel (Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney), the notable absence of a Knightfall film adaptation, and Kurt Russell being recommended as the next Batman might have suggested that Batman had finally been dealt a destructive fatal blow by an uncreative excessively formulistic Hollywood machine. Thankfully however, Batman only required a timely and compelling revitalization of the Caped Crusader's mythos, atmospheric landscape, criminal adversaries, psychological complexities, and thematic significance as a crime fighter. All of which and substantially more were provided amply in Warner's Brother's new animated motion picture Batman Beyond: The Movie. Bitingly refreshing in its sheer story-telling audacity, Batman Beyond: The Movie chronicles the untimely retirement of Bruce Wayne as Batman after Wayne's physical prowess seriously fails him for the first time in his illustrious career after a botched kidnapping rescue attempt forces the once physically immaculate crime fighter to threaten a condescending hoodlum at gunpoint. Twenty years later, Gotham City had become profusely submerged into a searing plague of rampant youth crime, beleaguered by widespread fraudulent corporate treachery, and ultimately had deteriorated into a grotesquely dynamic breeding hotbed for countless hordes of technology competent super villains and physically aggressive social outcasts. Purposely isolated and outlandishly secluded from the world he previously protected, Bruce Wayne steadfastly monitors world events in his lavishly dilapidated mansion ominously overlooking the Fritz Lang-eque metropolis below. Until one day, when a young impetuously irresponsible young man, Terry McGinnis, toting a similarly tragic past unintentionally unearths the nocturnal skeletons in Wayne's rather substantial closet. After numerous innovative progressive narrative twists, Terry assumes the Batman mantle and endeavors to bring law and order back upon Gotham once again. Displaying a dash of Orwell's 1984, a minuscule aroma of Terry Gilliam's Brazil, and some of the visual bravado from Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, Batman Beyond: The Movie represents quite a considerable narrative evolution for the animated motion picture. Enveloping the viewer with a massively intoxicating animated parable of Paradise Lost translated to comic book proportions, Batman Beyond: The Movie remains a vigorously gripping comic caper inordinately graced with uncommonly diverse characterizations, keenly perceptive sociological insights, profusely diabolical plot twists, and an inordinately gripping comprehension of it's source materials. I for one was extensively flabbergasted by the film's deft integration of the classic Batman motifs immersed with the sci-fi based innovations of the Batman Beyond's present storyline. Though hindered slightly by the pitfalls of having a teenage protagonist storyline crossbreed with the gargantuan Batman canvas, Batman Beyond atypically represents the definite potential of sharply conceived and breathlessly executed action animation. A sheer pleasure for anyone who likens themselves a Batman fan. As for the film's DVD features, Batman Beyond: The Movies also contains four other Batman Beyond episodes and the film's theatrical trailer for your viewing pleasure. A Definitive Must for any fan highly sophisticated animation. P.S. Substantial kudos should go to the Warner Brothers Animation Department for single-handedly reaffirming and redeeming the Batman legend for an entire new generation of prospective fans everywhere.

Summary: WHO ARE THEY KIDDING?
Review: IT'S HARD TO SAY WHAT'S MORE WOSRE ABOUT THIS MOVIE. THE MANGA STYLE OF ANIMATION WHICH MAKES THE CHARECTERS LOOK LIKE WALKING DRAWINGS WITH NO PERSONALITY. THE HEAVY METAL MUSIC THAT CAN DAMAGE YOUR EARS, OR THE RATHER BLEAK AND UNIMAGINTATIVE WAY THAT THIS SO-CALLED BATMAN SHOW SET IN THE FUTURE LOOKS ABOUT AS INTERESTING AS STALE CHEESE IN A REFRIGERATOR. And as always, Warners makes it in a cheap DVD display case with zero bonus features. I would rather watch a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
