RatingSuper Review by: Mark Capitelli
Batman Beyond is a series depicting the Batman of the future and his crusade against crime in a futuristic Gotham City.  Return of the Joker is the first film spawned from this series.  Batman Beyond follows the exploits of Terry McGuiness, the new Batman, and his mentor Bruce Wayne, the original Batman.  Terry fights a new cavalcade of criminals with technology and skill to match his own.  Sometimes these criminals gain their powers in ways very reminiscent of of the original Batman's villains.  In this case, it is one of his original villains...or is it?
A criminal calling himself The Joker is attacking Gotham City.  He claims to be the genuine article, but Bruce Wayne has his doubts.  Why?  Because the Joker he knew died almost 30 years prior.  Still, this new Joker looks, sounds, and even acts like the original.  The only real difference is that this Joker seems to know a lot more about Batman and his alter ego than he should.  As Terry McGuiness investigates this new threat, he begins to unravel the tragic events involving Batman, Robin, and Batgirl the fateful night of the Joker's death all those years ago.  It was a night that changed the lives of the crime fighters forever, and it might hold the key to how and why this new Joker came about.  Is he the deal real, or does this case have a darker side than Terry could have predicted?  He must find the answers quickly because the Joker and his gang know the identity of both Batmen and have every intention of destroying them with or without their masks.


"[Terry] must find the answers quickly because the Joker and his gang know the identity of both Batmen and have every intention of destroying them with or without their masks."

I am a big fan of Batman Beyond and I was not disappointed by this film.  The plot is very well conceived and the answers to the mystery are satisfying.  I especially liked the fact that the writers did not ignore the differences in the styles of the new Batman and the old Batman.  This new Batman has a whole other way of dealing with a criminal like the Joker that makes for an interesting showdown.

Another gem of this film is when the adult Batgirl turned Commissioner, Barbara Gordon, reveals the events of that fateful night to Terry.  The sad and chilling recount of what happened will have Bat-fans on the edge of their seats.
This film is a must see for anyone who is a fan of either the original Warner Bros. Batman Series or Batman Beyond.  I am a fan of both and this was a real treat.  They couldn't have merged both series any better.
