[@adamantium242]

Batman Beyond was a show way ahead of its time with its concept.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

titanium242 I'm upset it got cancelled

[@adamantium242]

And now we get shows like Teen Titans Go -_-

[@Blballerboy]

PSYCHO wasn't really cancelled, they just decided to move on with justice league

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Blballerboy Ohhh. BOOOOOOOO!!! Lol

[@XIFATALXI]

How was it ahead of its time ? Initially it was just a cash grab idea until Dini and Timm put their spin on it

[@austinepic4496]

Terry is really the only other person I see as batman. The true successor to Bruce.

[@trillkilla7777]

Austin Epic I mean that is his son though...

[@hakr4751]

Definitly

[@mambaASI]

@@trillkilla7777 That's revealed years later. Every since the first season, he was the new batman in the opinion of most 90s kids and young millenials.

[@clydepate2785]

I agree more so then even Damien Wayne

[@bean181]

I don’t like nightwing as Batman he should always be his own hero terry is the true Batman of the future I always felt it could’ve been more like a grandpa grandson relationship between Bruce and terry

[@hanshotfirst1138]

"I'm your worst nightmare!" "You have no *idea* what my nightmares are like."

[@knightwind6628]

Tim Drake getting tortured and turning into a mini Joker could be one. 🤔🤔🤔

[@toontrooper4103]

The uncensored version of return of the joker was better in my opinion. Having Tim shoot joker was more impactfull and intense.

[@questioneverything1639]

Who's that on your profile picture?

[@sharilshahed6106]

better as in less horrifying. Imagine if they didn't censor Joker getting fried by electrocution onscreen.

[@Target_Buster]

I like both versions. I watched the uncensored version recently, and was wondering where the electrocution scene was. I guess I never watched the uncensored one when I was younger.

[@SeanMichaelWesley]

Agreed.

[@PeachWookiee]

I found the electrocution scene somehow more chilling. Shooting a weapon is a split second decision, but pushing someone into a death trap takes more deliberation.

[@ArtekGeneral]

One of my favorite scenes is: "How did you know the voice in your head wasn't yours?" "The voice kept calling me Bruce... That's not how i call myself in my mind." "How do you call yourself then?" *Batglare at Terry* "Ah... Sure you would. (switches to batman's voice) But that's my name now..." "Tell that to my subconcious."

[@sumedh17]

@artek - a bit more context would help..

[@damnplaylist]

Vvs Diamondz I forget the specifics of the episode but a villain was trying to get Bruce to think he’s starting to be insane by adding “voices” he was hearing. So to Bruce for the “voice” to call him “Bruce”, he knew it was wrong because he always referred to himself as “Batman”, or something along those lines. Terry asks Bruce, “how do you know you’re not going insane?”. Bruce answers, “I don’t call myself Bruce”. Terry, understanding what Bruce meant, answers “that’s my name now!”, referring that he’s now Batman.

[@richardadams4928]

Oh, YEAH. A truly memorable moment from a show chock-full of them.

[@maxalaintwo3578]

Bruce actually calls himself edp445 in his head

[@NelsonWin]

I can hear Kevin Conroy all along..

[@chinmayapattnaik2876]

That batman beyond series was lit.......

[@DeadlyLad]

It was beyond lit.

[@her0matrix161]

Nice!!!

[@ddwna3258]

chinmaya pattnaik it wasn't lit, it was shway!

[@nox5870]

Batman Beyond Season 1 was amazing! Season 2 was ok and Season 3 was good.

[@gilzineto]

shway.. or however its written! Veeery shway

[@kamron_thurmond]

One of my favorite moments was when Terry fell for Ten from royal flush gang. At the end of the episode Bruce told him about Selina's Kyle.

[@ghostgoomba8816]

Kamron Thurmond SAAAAMMMMEEEE

[@scottw.6968]

That was his personal salena kyle. I wish they would have explored that dynsmic a lot more. His gf in the show was non existant practically. Max did more with him than her. And he could have had an 'in' on the ctiminal underworld that he didn't have, with her help. She didn't truly want to be a villian it seemed. Her brother that dhe was trying to save on the other hand. It could've lead to some interesting tangents.

[@Nunya_Bidness_53]

Is that the one where Old Batman delivers my favorite line ever? "Lots of beautiful women have thrown themselves at my feet. I stepped over them."

[@JohnSmith-lt1ck]

@@Nunya_Bidness_53 Different episode. Your favorite line was said to Terry after he had a new friend who wanted to hang out with him so much that it was almost like dating. Even though Dana was still Terry’s girlfriend. Edit: Episode title - Untouchable

[@aazelion5189]

What I wouldn't give for Rocksteady to make a Batman Beyond game...

[@redpilledhispanic1239]

Aazelion it could be called Batman: Beyond Arkham

[@cameroncall007]

YES!!

[@johny1220]

kool killer and it was like the show where you play as Terry with Bruce guiding you around :D

[@stetsonherrick8090]

Wait a minute... I recognize that icon, Aazelion. That's Underworld Fighter Balmung. It's a Synchro Monster form the Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds era.

[@LookingTheBest]

Aazelion Rocksteady Must do this. and do Return of Joker someday since his blood is out there!!@

[@lordbrick3428]

My Top 10 Batman Beyond moments 10) When Terry declines the offer to join the Justice League full time like Bruce did. 9) Mr. Freeze: "Believe me, you're the only one who cares." 8) Terry finds the Batcave. 7) Grandma Harley bailing her twin granddaughters out of Jail. 6) Young Bruce Wayne and Old Bruce Wayne meet. 5) Terry fights robots of Bruce's rogues gallery 4) Joker reveals himself and Bruce is terrified. 3) Bruce puts on a battle Batman suit one last time 2) "I learned from the best. Now if I could only figure out how he made those little tea cakes." 1)Terry finds out who his real father is.

[@siniquezu]

I like this list better

[@e01nerv]

i was expecting your #1 to be THE #1 but oh well good list!

[@natsuhategplus352]

Shame no one mention Splicers.

[@TMSokoya]

No 9 gets me every time.

[@TMSokoya]

Carl, what's THE #1?

[@2007serrato]

DC! stop playing and put him back instead of wack Teen Titans

[@AIRTUBEY]

SO STRONGLY AGREE!

[@Vidious808]

yeah I'd actually watch that

[@Sam-yb2ii]

Wack Teen Titans Go *

[@lucristianx]

I stand behind his original statement. I don't care what happens at the kid's table.

[@Sam-yb2ii]

Arik Haydn Actually if they bring back original DC Animated Series, or create new ones inspired by the originals it could get a larger public not just kids, with Teen Titans Go they were aiming for the kids only which was a terrible idea despite the fact that it is funny we all want the original Teen Titans back.

[@ESHADOW111]

Favorite moment: "Very good then Mr McGinnis, welcome to my world."

[@hugosanchez4593]

This show and static shock were really ahead of their time. A lot of strong emotional moments in both shows that set it apart from the rest.

[@CYPH3RsD0M41N]

Man, I wish they'd make a movie for Batman Beyond.

[@deandrehamilton24]

they did years ago.

[@marselllaski2491]

what?

[@CYPH3RsD0M41N]

Deandre Hamilton I know. What I mean't to say was that I wish they'd make one in this time.

[@larrysmith8994]

I think Mudzi mean A LIVE-ACTION movie, Deandre and HE'S RIGHT! No 'animated' version - A REAL-ACTION version and I 100% agrees! ;-)

[@CYPH3RsD0M41N]

Larry Smith Yes. Exactly.

[@Leadeshipcoach]

My Favorite: Epilogue...when Amanda Waller tells Terry "You don;t quite have his fine mind...but you have his heart"

[@DTC_95]

Man I loved this show so much !

[@LusioEcarts]

Me too.. Batman Beyond is my 2th favorite Batman ever

Just realized Terry McGinnis is Eric Matthews from "Boy Meets World".

He is Will friedle, yes.

[@RhodieSlayer]

i hope batman beyound gets released on blu ray someday and superman the animated series and static shock blu ray

I saw the series being sold at Target around Valentine’s day but I don’t know if it was Blue-ray

[@gnomegains]

I really enjoyed Batman Beyond mainly because of the way I can relate to Terry. Really hit home.

[@SilverEye_7]

So true.

[@Biorythym]

On the "How Bruce met Ace"...Ace the bathound has been a recurring theme in Batman comics since the 1950's...however in context of the show, Bruce named the dog "Ace" in regards to the Royal Flush Gang member (a yong girl) who he comforted as she died in the Justice league cartoon (ironicaly the episode "Epilogue" was meant to be a finale for Batman Beyond)...also the gang member in the clip is dressed like "Paggliacchi" the clown Ceaser romero dressed up as in his first appearance on the 1960's batman tv show

[@trillkilla7777]

Biorythym wowwwwwWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..... brazy asf cuz

[@Alverant]

I liked the scene where Bruce is helping Terry with his homework by having him recite the list of Presidents. "Reagan, Bush, Clinton, .... the boring one". If only.

[@GigaChadh976]

That was Maxine helping Terry.

[@ruiwenwang1124]

Terry is so cute~

[@maxalaintwo3578]

Regardless of what you think of his tenure as President, Bush was NOT boring.

[@JoseMorales-lw5nt]

Loved the topical sense of humor in that shot. The episode was scheduled to air well before the 2000 Presidential election. So the writers had fun poking the 4th wall there. Acknowledged Terry's world is 30+ years after the episode we were watching while making fun of not really knowing how post 2000 would actually be! 😎🇵🇷🇺🇸📽🗽🦂🤣

[@9791mij]

#9 Terry is so much younger than Bruce his Robin hasn't hatch yet

[@dylancrozier84]

One of my favorite details in Batman Beyond is that whenever the need arises, Bruce doesn't don a batsuit, but instead, the Gray Ghost costume. That's such an awesome detail that you'd literally only understand if you watched that episode of BTAS

[@NihilusShadow]

#5 is the edited version. In the unedited version, Tim shoots the Joker. Also, I'm still waiting for a Batman Beyond game set in the Arkham Universe...

[@azterahstudios]

When Terry's laugh out creeps the Joker, you know you've won.

[@CheemsofRegret]

what about that scene with Mr freeze, where freeze says that batman says he's the only one who cares? that scene was sad as f

[@vm141789]

Batman Beyond deserves a live-action movie.

[@MirkoBatmanUniverse89]

the best moment Batman Beyond the animated series, in Justice League Unlimited, episode "Epilogue" the final episode this series, and closed the definitive story of Batman Beyond.

[@Leadeshipcoach]

Agreed..I loved the entire series..but Epilogue was the best!

[@Target_Buster]

The best moment in all of the DCAU. The shows in the DCAU shaped my life, but that episode was everything.

[@krissmith9814]

Such a shame the series didnt continue. Loved the show

[@EPS5000]

How about releasing this on Blu-ray Disc, and include the Epilogue episode from JLU.

[@MemrYou]

it is on blu ray

[@EPS5000]

No, only the movie "Return of the Joker" is. The show itself is only on DVD.

[@johny1220]

EPS5000 it’s all available on iTunes :D

[@terryrodbourn2793]

When Terry tries to save Mr. Freeze from dying!

[@sauceboss3808]

PUT HIM ON NETFLIX

[@robertodonnell118]

Ik

[@captaincomic8678]

What I never understood about Batman Beyond is why Terry seems to be one of the only superheroes in the future. I mean, surely with how massive the Justice League roster eventually grew, there would still be that many heroes either still around or carrying on the legacies of those who weren't, right? Heck, the Joker threatened to destroy Neo-Gotham with a giant satellite weapon, and the Justice League of the future was nowhere to be seen!

[@WhiteScarf52]

It's just how the show was written. Same as Batman Animated Series, a lot of heroes probably existed, but the show is about Batman.

[@esmeraldaparker2137]

there are. There is an episode on that. Bruce did not want him to join the Justice League.

[@lxinstk2758]

There are more heroes. The comics that served as a continuation of the show showed that beyond the Justice League, characters like Static, Shazam, Mr. Miracle, Amethyst, Klarion, The Ray, and more are still active in the future. It's just a show that focused on Batman, so you only got Batman stories most of the time.

[@sharilshahed6106]

The justice league beyond comics explained much of it. The league seperated some decades after the Justice League series, and a little speculation but with the advancing technology there was lesser need for superheroes to save the day. There were still a female flash, Captain Marvel who had (somehow different personalities mixed), Doctor Fate, Martian Manhunter and Older Aquaman (both retired) and many others.

[@TMSokoya]

The Near-Apocalypse of '09 might have had something to do with it.

[@lucristianx]

My favorite moment is when they battle Inque a second time and Bruce uses a mech suit with the guitar riffing theme.

[@Wyndamn]

Epically badass.

[@brandonlim5709]

How about season 4 now DC pls. I'm asking very nicely

[@jd7507]

I would love that and to see what Superman and Lashina's son looks like.

[@0k4yyy_94]

batman beyonds intro was great

[@professorcomics2736]

I really loved that battle between Terry and the Joker. One of the lines that Mark Hamill executed really well was " Your out of your league Mginess. I knew every trick the original Batman and Robin knew in their peak." I liked the line and the voice acting.

[@Vlyood]

I just started watching yesterday, and its so good. Please, make a new season!

[@HashSlinginSlasher94]

When he met Static Shock. But that was technically a Static Shock moment i guess...

[@twarnold14]

A little moment I loved was at the end of the episode that introduced Shriek. Terry asks Bruce how he knew the voices from Shriek's devices were not coming from him head. Bruce answered that the voices called him Bruce. In his head, he doesn't call himself Bruce. Terry is about to ask what his voices do call him when he realizes the truth. I love how it shows Bruce's obsession with the persona.

[@bmvthemoviefanatic7282]

What a great show. Ended before its time.

[@byazura9824]

This is my favorite Batman show ever.

[@cattameme]

I watch the DC animated shows over and over because theirs nothing really better to watch constantly.

[@foxhound13]

Just wanted to say I love the concept of Batman Beyond. The show was good as well, just in comics it mostly hasn't been done justice. EXCEPT for Batman Beyond 2.0, it continues more so from the show, its DCAU cannon, and it was written really well (want to know why nightwing and barb aren't together?). So happy they got rid of Tim Drake as Batman Beyond in recent comics, Terry deserves more to be in the DC Universe. And this year I had the pleasure of meeting Will Friedle, nice guy and signed my box set "I AM BATMAN!", was really geeking out. Also DC needs to make a BB movie, they can totally roll in that spiderman like money. Who is with me!

[@user-xl6bm1dt3v]

Come on, there isn't any good comics after BB 2.0, that new issue they talking about is just awful. I don't want to see a BB movie based on recent Brother Eye story or made by the people that did BvS and Suicide Squad. As much as I love Terry I would prefer him being dead for couple of decades just to not being completely ruined. P.S. Cover is lying, BB has new lenses which are even worse than the ones from the last year.

[@Lycz]

Great list as always, but if I had to choose best scenes from the show, than I'd for sure put those 2: 1) Final battle with Mr. Freeze - The episode about his return was amazing! The plot, the characters and atmospheric soundtrack. 2) Bruce comes to Terry's aid - In the episode in which Inque captures Terry we've received an astonishing scene in which Bruce dons a Batsuit, one last time. (The soundtrack was also amazing.)

[@ancaro8771]

Yeah, freeze's character from BB might be the best character in a comic book show after green goblin from spectacular spider-man. So sad that they did not give him a two parter, that episode really needed a two parter. BB would have been so much greater if they were allowed to do two and three parters like Justice league.

[@ZAXN]

@@ancaro8771 Coukd you explain how Mr Freeze is still alive in the beyond universe. Shouldn't he be old or dead by the batman beyond timeline?

[@chel685]

This was like my favorite thing when I was younger

[@jovannicervantes4438]

Even though Bruce is old he still can fight

[@darbyreviews]

batman beyound should be on blu ray along with superman the animated series

[@moviehoarder8382]

Thank You So Much For This DC Plus These Batman Beyond Moments Are My Favorites Too:)

[@billthompson5644]

"EPILOGUE" Was a GREAT episode in it self. THANK you very much for your Great list.

[@elaRRman]

i used to see this as a child back in the day . I recently started rewatching it again and its beyond legendary .

[@kobebrewster2549]

I would also love for Terry to go on a time travel adventure see the history of Batman from his beginning in comics to now

[@jenniferroberts6515]

When Terry says m, “Don’t, Touch, My, Dog.” That is my favorite moment.

[@ShaneC1991]

When Bruce puts on the Exo Suit to fight Inque. Chills.

[@Wyndamn]

And the old school Batman theme kicks in.

[@MarriottPlayer]

I have a lot of favorite moments from the show. It's my favorite DCAU series.

[@StarStreamFlowArtist]

I like how there's no complaint over Terry Killing in that first Moment with Bruce just smiling about it lol

[@darkfur3181]

He didn't kill the joker. Watch the movie.

[@xavigolden8287]

He just destroys the nano bots that have transformed Tim Drake's body and mind into the Joker, which was put on him (not in him, apparently) and stayed on for thirty years without anyone noticing... which is actually dumber than what you said, so let's go with your interpretation.

[@StarStreamFlowArtist]

For everyone commenting I'm talking about the first one in chronological order not the literal #1

[@StarStreamFlowArtist]

Not Joker but, ink is who I am referring too

[@sharilshahed6106]

*Inque, she is a metahuman and lived to trouble the heroes another day. Although they did screw up her human form.

[@RinHanyouChan]

When Max finds out Terry's secret, forgot the name of the episode. Eyewitness- When Barb tries to arrest Terry for the murder of Mad Stan. First appearance of Spellbinder.

[@dr.aglets7685]

One of my favorite episodes was in season 2, "hooked up" .. when kids were addicted to the vr games by spellbinder

[@Wartooth91]

Terry's guest appearance in Static Shock The episode running the spin off series of The Zeta Project

[@_TeslaGoStream]

As a Tim Drake fan, seeing him Jokerized is by far my most nightmare fuel of Batman Beyond

[@her0matrix161]

I don't understand why Warner Brothers hasn't done anything else with Batman Beyond No special animated films, no live action tv series, no continuation to the original series, no live action film Is that too much to ask WB

[@moviehoarder8382]

Plus Thank You Jason & Tiffany:)

[@darkposthardcore]

Thanks to post it at my birthday!

[@AutisticV]

' Thats it daddy needs to go to work!' Flies up. Baby.. I lost it XD

[@SeanMichaelWesley]

You guys will probably never see this, but PLEASE consider bringing this back. This show was WAY ahead of its time and so well put together in literally every conceivable way.

[@shockz1715]

If I had to take the 2 best episodes, hands down is the Mr Freeze moment, and that hunter dude chase scene, especially the Joker and the pie gag

[@questioneverything1639]

Nice list.

[@beyondthesoundtrack]

WB, GIVE US MORE BATMAN BEYOND - animated series, films, games, comics, the rest of the soundtracks that never got released, all of it. And make it good.

[@albedoyuriev31]

The Mr. Freeze episode and Blight showdown in the season one finale were my favorites.

[@aleenahgaudet7116]

One of my favourite moments is the 1 on 1 fight scene in "Mind Games". That scene was incredible!

[@hobgoblin9938]

I've adored the character ever since I was kid and saw a picture of him at my local library! Can't wait to get the new series and i'm still hoping that they do a remake of the show, maybe even a Live action one because more than any other DC character I strongly feel Batman Beyond deserves it!

[@pumpkinkingmusicvideo9938]

The intro to this song is really good

[@BrandanM94]

I still rewatch it every year, I sport that logo on every vehicle I have

[@TheHeartGirl784]

Number 2 is my favourite moment of all. I Am Batman. I just LOVE IT!!!! 😍😆

[@CallMeDaddyHERTZ]

I think they should make a new animated movie. They're doing it with everything else, so why not? Can't imagine it being as good though.

[@thelel6591]

i'd like a live action or even a video game like the arkham series

[@kyledurand6238]

Man I miss this show!

[@fredjones2170]

This show is so underrated, I swear

[@GilliganKrueger0829]

Great List! Though I would’ve included Mr Freeze’s final scene in the episode Meltdown! His final exchange of dialogue gives me chills (no pun intended) every time! “You have to get out of here Freeze, the whole place is coming down!” “Believe me, you’re the only one who cares!”

[@DeathAtARaveOfficial]

Sick duo, guys!

[@WillRennar]

One moment I expected to see on the list: Bruce in the Bat Exo-Armor vs. Inque. If nothing else, hearing the original Batman TAS theme play again as the suit activated was _glorious._

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

I'm a proud owner of the Batman Beyond TAS complete collection.

[@redhurricane24]

All these moments made me glad that I watched this show on The WB when it first premiered, as a 12 year-old. Batman Beyond is a resounding proof that the best part of my childhood still lives after many years later. I hope this show resurfaces again to provoke a similar result with today's kids.

[@Alexanderbuilds2001]

I’m going to have to rewatch this

[@jimkeaskin1300]

batman beyond is my favorite animated show I grow Up watching it

[@Blackwing2040]

Terry fighting the Joker is definitely my number 1 favorite moment without a doubt

[@nickblake3024]

One of my favorite shows of all time, I can't wait for the new comic

[@datdankdj8264]

One of my personal favorites is when he’s fighting Bonk and Bonk has his hands around his throat and Terry mutters something, then Bonk says “what did you say?” And Terry goes “Flag pole.” Then Bonk proceeds to get clotheslined by said flag pole

[@PaulJones202718]

Can't argue with that number 1 on the list.

[@TMSokoya]

I still can't get over how cute that Eggbaby was. I want one.

[@TheShockVox]

As cool as it is to have Terry back....ehhh I kinda liked the idea of Tim Drake being Batman Beyond. It seemed like a good development, that the kid who would always say he'd never be Batman from the getgo, became Batman (albeit it was pre-new 52 Tim who said that, not New 52)

[@RenatoBritto01]

Wow! I love this animation!!! A great Bruce Timm's job!!!

[@SuperOveride]

I think a scene from Terry working with Max would be on this list, she became his partner, and comforting him when he needs it, she's a confidante.

[@TheLithp]

Terry deciding to propose to Daina should really get a mention. That moment proved Terry was going to adjust to life as Batman in a way that Bruce never did.

[@icemagefullbusta]

The music in this show still slaps man!!

[@Freshwater121]

Man I love that intro

[@puneetsharma1650]

one of the bestest moments has to be when barbara comes to the batcave and says we all thought that we were not forced to become whatver we wanted first and terry says it was my choice to become batman

[@spear401]

Reading through all of BB on DCUI. The series that started it was way ahead of its time.

[@jmontes802]

How about putting this on Blu-ray? Getting close to getting the DVD but would prefer Blu-ray

It's out on Blu-Ray now! smile.amazon.com/Batman-Beyond-Complete-Limited-Blu-ray/dp/B07TLPBC7J/

[@wickeddragongoddess]

My favorite Batman. Miss this series

[@enzmondo]

My favourite moment is when Terry broke into Amanda Waller's home to confirm the Bruce is his father. And the time Bruce took some Lazarus and fought with Terry with the futuristic BTAS theme playing in the background. Bring DCAU back!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikeyt914]

April Moon was a great episode. Also when he teamed up with the stalker
