In the Gotham City of the future, an older Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy) trains a college student, Terry McGinnis (Will Friedle), to replace him as Batman. Meanwhile, the Joker (Mark Hamill) has re-emerged as the leader of the Jokerz, a gang inspired by their evil hero, who was previously thought to be dead.

Way better than I expected it does a great job in paying homage to the original Batman, A great story that's full of action and some good twists too, One of the best animated Batman films even though it's not the original Batman, But if you can look past that then you will enjoy it.

Still, to this day, my favorite Batman animated movie. There's just something perfect about an aging Bruce Wayne played by Conroy and Hamill as a returning Joker. It's also the magic of Bruce Timm's stylization at it's peak of the 90's DC animated era. What's really incredible though, is the script! I mean the whole thing was written from scratch and yet the dialogue, tone and characterizations are just as good if not better than a lot of existing dark/gritty Batman comic book storylines. When Batman Beyond first debuted it was gimmicky, old fans hated the idea of replacing Bruce with a hip, young guy to appeal to a younger audience but over the years it's been finely tuned to become a credible cannon of it's own and this movie is the final hurrah celebrating that. Full of suspense, action, humor in all the right places. I often come back to this movie when I'm in a Batman mood. :]

Wow, I've seen the edited and the un-edited versions and I gotta say, both of them are just plain terrific. A fantastic story that is full of twists and turns, great animation (one of the best I've ever seen), and of course the voice cast was excellent. Having pretty much the same cast as the cartoon series of Batman was a wise move. Also, some of the lines in the film are hilarous (in a good way), almost all of the Joker's dialouge is superb (as usual). Personally, I preferred the un-edited version, but at least the best lines and the story has not changed.

Though Terry is not as great a protagonist, the film getting so dark really is something, Mark Hamill does wonderful in his performance, and the future of Batman and friends shown here really is something.
