Batman Beyond

Batman Beyond (also known as Batman of the Future in Europe) is an American superhero animated television series based on the DC Comics superhero Batman, and serving as the sequel to both Batman: The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures.[2] Created and developed by Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, and Alan Burnett and produced by Warner Bros. Television Animation,[3] the series began airing on January 10, 1999; in the United Kingdom, it began airing on September 4, 2000.The series follows the exploits of teenager Terry McGinnis, who becomes the new Batman for the city of Gotham in the near future. Terry is aided and mentored by the previous Batman, Bruce Wayne, as he faces a variety of criminals including several new supervillains. Despite being conceived as a kid-friendly Batman series by Warner Bros. Animation, it ended up being darker than its predecessor Batman: The Animated Series,[5][6] yet went on to receive critical acclaim and gained a cult following. Batman Beyond ran for three seasons, concluding with a direct-to-video feature film. The decision to end production on the series came due to Warner Bros. Animation opting to favor pushing forward production for the Justice League animated series, though with Batman Beyond featuring crossovers with additional shows in the DC Animated Universe.
