Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker - Caravan Of Garbage

Terry McGuiness and Bruce Wayne return (again played by Kevin Conroy) in addition to Mark Hamill as The Joker. Presumed to have died to death decades earlier his return has people all...wait what? It didn't do very well at the time, that being said, it's pretty good. This is our review.

[@battleupsaber462]

The best thing about this movie is how the "censored" version of the Joker's death is just as, if not more violent than the original cut

[@GamingintheAM0801]

Honestly, I might prefer the censored death. There's something very fitting about the Joker going out in an act of slapstick.

[@Darkjonny79]

It's a punchline that even he would laugh at.

[@Bubbsmaster]

I believe that when return of the joker came out there was a school shooting or something similar that had happen shortly before... it just was seen as bad taste

[@darkmyro]

@@Darkjonny79 " that's not funny, that's not funny at all" though I do agree I like the censored slapstick death more than the shooting him death. Mostly cause I think there's kinda a poetic justice to it. both kinda, have that element, but I think it fits better being the joker's final joke backfires on himself in the worst way possible. like when you see bugs and daffy do the argument over who gets shot bit. They go back and forth, but daffy's ego of need to feel superior and win the fight that ultimately gets him shot multiple times. I feel the censored version is more interesting visually too. In the uncut version, he gets shot and makes a joke about it not being funny. In the censored version the joker and robin have a fight, he gets pushed into vats of liquids and ends up shocking himself to death when he pulls on a lever as he falls.

[@Darkjonny79]

@@darkmyro Thats what I mean. Getting shot isn't a funny punchline. But the old "slipping on a banana" gag would make him laugh in hindsight. Obviously he doesn't slip on a banana, but you know what I mean

[@KarazolaX]

I honestly just love that Terry was Joker's kryptonite. He thoroughly gets inside his head, and Joker clearly despises him. It would have been really interesting to see Joker as a part of Terry's rogue's gallery, just because we've only seen Joker as someone who seems to enjoy Batman. Seeing him actively despise his foe would be an interesting twist.

I do love that the microchip being so exposed was actually kind of the point.

That’s a legacy battle done right.

The closest we got to a live-action Batman Beyond suit was the one in _Arkham Knight,_ and it looked awesome.

That said, it is impressive that the show is of such high quality based on the network telling then they needed to make a teen Batman show to sell more merchandise.

I still remember the rumors of what would eventually become Batman Beyond and it was just a "Batman in high school" thing and sounded terrible and like some awful really simplistic kiddy show. But then it broadcast and was actually nothing what we feared and was actually plenty awesome and a very worthwhile sequel to BTAS/TNBA. And yes this movie is great. Have to say even the censored version is pretty grim. Joker being electrocuted is still quite a dark thing to see and it's still got the tortured Robin thing which is nightmarish on it's own. But yeah having the young child Robin actually shoot the Joker dead is another level of dark and it works great for these characters. Epilogue was a lovely surprise too when it was broadcast. Strange having the true final episode of a cancelled series actually be produced as one from a later series and gave great closure and is a fantastic episode in it's own right both as a Batman Beyond episode and a Justice League Unlimited episode.

Can you do an episode about the comic where the Hulk goes to Israel to assassinate a child who is prophesized to become the next Hitler but then has to fight Sabra, the best Marvel character of all time?

[@ThreadBomb]

Sounds great!

[@ShirDeutch]

@@ThreadBomb it's amazing. Packed with Israel-based banter, and also they made up a daughter for Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and named her Greta for some reason (you wouldn't name your daughter Greta in Israel in the 80s).

Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Crossroads of Time for SNES. That game's just wild.

Mask of the Phantasm and Return of the Joker may be the best 2 animated DC movies. Can not wait until Batman Beyond comes out on Blu Ray!

[@grkpektis]

OMG The Joker magically turned Tim Drake into a midget temporarily, what a monster. How else do you explain that he still looks 13 when he's supposed to be at least 20

[@minato_arisato3751]

Originally when the movie was created he would have been 13 but retroactively the line was made longer

[@gooseherdez336]

One of the reasons why Batman Beyond felt darker than TAS is because since they couldn't kill one shot villains (since it was supposed to be a show aimed at young kids), they found more "creative" ways to dispose of them. And as they say, some fates are worse than death

[@thesprucemoose9135]

Time for you to do the best Batman movie: Mask of the Phantasm

[@Maniac536]

This is still the best DC Animated film that was ever made. Also remember being on the battle lines when the controversy about it exploded when we found out the flick was censored. It was probably the first case I can think of where the internet backlashed against something so big and so much and it ended with the studio actually listening.

[@CVZemo]

I recommend doing a Caravan Of Garbage for the movie EXPLORERS for the release of IT: CHAPTER II. A terrible Goonies clone from the 80's, even with the power of Ethan Hawke & River Phoenix.

This is one of my favorite movies from childhood so thank you James and Mason!

Hey, you really shouldn't steal stuff from smaller KZbinrs without credit. I love your content, but please, please credit The Watchtower Database for their comparison between the censored and uncut versions.

[@deathsythelui]

They've since pinned a top comment crediting them. All is better now.

[@thewerewolff7248]

they normally do credit so it was likely just them forgetting to in this instance.

[@MysteicVoltronus]

You forgot that double episode of static shock when old Bruce meets Original series Batman. That interagation was the best.
