So I grew up with this movie so I might be a little biased But this is one of my all-time favorite animated movies in general I really enjoyed Batman beyond

maybe even a little bit more than Batman the animated series The edginess of Terry with his constant clashing with Bruce's mentality and ideology are some of the best moments of the show

this movie takes that to a whole new level

when the joker reappears after several years of being presumed dead

there's a real fear in Bruce when he realizes the joker's back Bruce tries his best bench Terry saying that he's never gone up against the enemy like this

Batman beyond is essentially Terry McGinnis going through Batman academy this movie is Terry's graduating exam as much as this movie is a perfect example of Terry's character development it is also a great look at a more vulnerable scarred side of Bruce

we get some nice flashbacks and information that really bridges the moments in between Batman The animated series and Batman beyond
