In 1999, Batman Beyond hit television screens. The show, which focused on a new hero under the Batman cowl, presented a futuristic take on the Batman mythology, and was an instant hit with fans.
Set decades after the events of The New Batman Adventures and Justice League Unlimited, the series saw an ageing Bruce Wayne retire from the role of the Dark Knight. In his place steps Terry McGinnis – a high school student, who experiences tragedy in his life, leading him to take on the guise of Batman!
Batman Beyond was very successful during its original run, and as such the series ran for a total of three seasons, with Will Friedle in the role of Terry McGinnis, and Kevin Conroy reprising the role of Bruce Wayne from previous Batman cartoons. If you have never watched the show, then now is the perfect time to rectify this oversight, and below you will find a list of episodes to help guide you through the series.
