Not as good as the original BTAS, but still an enjoyable show
This is a good premier movie for "Batman Beyond" (known in Europe as "Batman of The Future"), starring Will Friedle as the new Batman (Terry McGinnis) and returning with Kevin Conroy (Batman from the original show) as old guy Bruce Wayne. Mr. Freeze (Michael Ansara) and Bane (Who never talks in his episode appearance) were the only remaining original bad guys until "Return of the Joker". The costume gallery in the Batcave (Original Batsuit, Robin's costume, Nightwing's costume, Batgirl's costume and the new Batsuit)
Bottom Line: A show that takes some getting used to.

totally BEYOND!
I can not express how much I love this DVD. I'm sure alot has been said about this DVD / Series. So I'll get to the point. This is NOT for kids, its totally a PG13 genre. On this DVD you get 2 things:
#1- 'The Movie' which is basically a full hour or so, to ease you into the new world and explaining of how the NEW Batman is reborn and takes you into a very cool emotional ride till the end.
#2: you get 4 episodes, eachone is about 25mins or so long, they are awesome, they introduce you to new villians and old villians in a NEW way.
This DVD is one of my favorites, even though I know the story of Batman Beyond almost word for word, I just can't get enough of it, the music is totally Head Banging to..and you will fall in the love with the characters.. the dialoge is never cheesy. its an action film first and for most, and an animation second.
This is must have for the new generation Batman lovers, screw the WB this is the real thing :D

Don't buy if you want/own season 1
Great DVD! Starts off the Batman Beyond series. The stories are interesting and though the style animation is not exactly new, but has the new and unique intersting twist of being staged in the future. They have done a great job with it.
ONE WARNING!!! If you want season one do not buy this! There are 13 episodes on season one and this DVD has 6 of them! This would get 5 stars if you were not able to get all of them on the season one DVD. I felt just a little ripped off.

The Legend Lives On!
In this future version of Gotham City, Bruce Wayne is an old man, long retired from being BatMan. Dick Grayson's fate is unknown (though its hinted in this series that he still lives), Babara Gordon is now the police Commissoner, her father James Gordon has passed on as has Alfred. Tim Drake, the second Robin, is AWOL (though we learn his fate later in BatMan Beyond: Return Of The Joker).
In a twist of fate, Terry McGinnes becomes the new Dark Knight with a reluctant Bruce Wayne as his mentor. This DVD features the premiere of this series as well as 4 additional episodes from the series.
BATMAN BEYOND (Pilot) - Bruce Wayne has been retired from being BatMan for over 20 years. In that time, his family company was bought out by crooked businessman Dereck Powers and Gotham is not what it once was. When Powers has a worker murdered to cover up one of his crooked dealings, Terry McGuiness (the worker's son) wants justice. Thus, through a series of events, he becomes the new BatMan to take down Powers.
GOLEM - A kid at Terry's high school becomes fed up with being bullied and uses a giant robot called The Golem to take revenge on those that bullied him.
WINNING EDGE - During a robbery, the new Batman discovers that one of the robbers is a kid at his high school. This mystery leads him down a trail that points to one of the original Batman's old enemies......BANE!
DEAD MAN'S HAND - The Royal Flush Gang returns to Gotham to loot and seek revenge on Batman......problem is, one of its members falls for him!
MELTDOWN - Still alive after 50 years, Mr. Freeze is given a new chance at life only to be duped into a dangerous experiment! Seeking revenge, he battles both Batman and a new enemy.....BLIGHT!
This DVD gives you a good introduction into the world of the new Batman as he battles new enemies plus updated versions of the original Batman's old enemies! I'd recommend this along with Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker!

Refreshingly Different Yet True to the Original
A few years after the end of Batman: The Animated Series, I saw an ad for a new series that featured a new Batman in a future Gotham City. And, horrors - Bruce Wayne/Batman was an OLD MAN, unrecognizable from the form BTAS fans are accustomed to. I refused to watch it, thinking it was kind of a travesty.But when I mentioned my concerns to a friend, he said it was good. So I checked it out, and am so glad I did. BB is the continuation of the Dark Knight and the city he protects. Bruce Wayne has become quite old, and even more stubborn. Alfred has passed away, so the only companion for the old man is a dog, Ace. Ace is no ordinary dog. I happen to remember buying the comic when Ace was re-introduced in the 1990's. Ace is Wayne's intelligent guardian and helper. Bruce Wayne is secluded in his manor, all the memoribilia of his crime-fighting days lovingly displayed in the now unused Batcave. Barbara Gordon, the former Batgirl, is now the aging commissioner of police, taking her father's former position. The elder Gordon has also passed away. Enter Terry McGinnis. A brash, handsome young man with the same black hair and blue eyes as his predecessors, he stumbles upon Wayne and his secret. Wayne and McGinnis clash, and through a touching series of events and flashbacks, there is a new Batman, with the original Batman at the helm. Batman Beyond is proof that Batman lives, that his legacy is enduring and what he stands for will last forever, even if he will not. Criminals will still look up at the night sky and shudder with fear just by hearing his name.

Batman goes high-tech...
Terry McGinnis stumbles upon Bruce Wayne's secret, that he was once Batman! McGinnis needs Batman's help, but when Mr. Wayne refuses, Terry has to BECOME Batman himself. Armed with a advanced flying, super-strong, loaded to the gills with weapons, suit and with the help of Mr. Wayne's knowledge, Terry McGinnis brings to Gotham City what it needs most : The Dark Knight!
I had to take a star away because I don't feel the future Gotham City or the new Batman are as dark or as impressive as Batman:The Animated Series. Bruce Wayne used smarts as much as devices to get out of the traps set up by them, and the fact he wasn't just a copy of Superman made him even more interesting. Also, the old fashion evildoers were just better designed. I mean, THE Joker was ten times better than a room full of Jokers! And he had better lines.
Still, the DVD has the first movie and four bonus episodes, so it is good value for your money. The artwork and plots also improved as the series developed, so I will be picking up more DVDs of the new Batman.
