Hey hey everyone! I know it's been awhile since my last review but with school and all it's harder and harder to see movies. I still haven't seen one but I have been watching some good TV. I am here today to review the newest installment of the Batman animated series. Yes of course I am talking about Batman Beyond.

Now your probably saying, "Mike why are you watching cartoons?" Well here is my answer: this might as well be a movie, these cartoons are darker, more violent, and have better writing than the new Batman movies that have been directed by Mr. J.S. This is not a kids cartoon show. It is very adult, including the messages the show puts out.

The whole concept of Batman Beyond is Bruce Wayne stopped being Batman because his heart just couldn't take it anymore (at least that's what Bruce is saying right now). Around 20 years into the future a kid named Terry Maginis looses his dad to murder. Terry then takes up the torch that is Batman and is Gothams new hero.

This show is incredible; the best I've seen in a long time. The relationships between each character is very complex and, in each episode is evolved. The relationship between Bruce and Terry is obvious: teacher/apprentice.

This show is the best drama on TV right now and I suggest you watch it at least once just to see if you like it. Don't have any preconceived opinions on it because it is animated (my parents hate The Simpson’s and Batman because of the fact that it is animated).

Well, I'm off to see the new Pokemon Movie today so you should see my next review very soon. Write you all later!
