I have only seen Return of the Joker but am considering watching the Batman Beyond TV show. It seems like a well-reviewed popular show in the fandom. What are people’s spoiler-free impressions of the show?
I liked it a lot. It’s like a cyberpunk Batman with old master / last gunslinger beats.
I’ve always really enjoyed it 🤷 not much else to say
Watched the first season a few weeks ago, it definitely still holds up.
It’s excellent. Return of the Joker is a highlight, but honestly the whole series is consistently good. You can see the whole creative team confident enough to flex a bit and be free to take chances and experiment a bit with great results. Even the not-as-good episodes were better than most of their contemporary TV.
Loved it. Probably the most creative version of Batman.
You’re in for a treat :)
Thanks for the replies everyone! This is definitely the kind of of information I was looking for and it seems like the show could be up my alley. I’ll track it down and give it a watch. When does Return of the Joker take place chronologically on the show’s timeline?
Edit: Looks like consensus is to just watch Return of the Joker after watching the show to keep it simple.
I watched it as a child and enjoyed it
