Well kinda do because you are the clone of Bruce Wayne because Joker used the same tech that Amanda Waller to create Terry McGinnis aka Batman Beyond and Joker used it on Tim Drake to control on his brain
"You're out of your league McGiness. I know every trick the original Batman and Robin knew at their peak." "Maybe, but you don't know a thing about me."
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker is one of the best Batman animated films I have ever seen. It's gripping, intense, and emotionally powerful. I recommend this film to anyone.
@@arthurfleck629 indeed is, its one of those that make me imagine driving 150mph in some dark narrow street of gotham city in batmobile or some cabriolet
The entire animated saga shows that only one truly worthy of the cowl could eradicate the demonic clown. It took a new and more whole-hearted and complete Batman to destroy the legacy of the insidious Clown Prince of evil
Well.... given joker was in his 50’s or 60’s and Terry is like 18, 19, or 20 at the most, this was kinda a no brainer. One is past his prime , the other is well in his.
XRED Visions Keep in mind that it’s not really age that made the difference (given that Neo-Joker was programmed to have the precise level of intellect and genetically altered to have the same “spryness” that the Joker possessed), but also the difference in drive and cleverness and understanding of the Joker, a difference of Terry from Bruce that allowed Terry to overcome him.
"You know, kids, a lot has changed since your old Uncle Joker's been away. New Gotham, new rules, even a new Batman. But now I'm tanned, I'm rested and I'm ready to give this old town a wedgie again!" The writers really knew how to give The Joker a resurrection with that line alone. Especially considering for a direct-to-dvd release this got darker than even Mask of the Phantasm and that's one of if not the best Batman movies ever made.
Well, considering it had the scene where Tim was tortured and in the movie, joker is either shot or electrocuted to death, of course it's darker the mask of the phantasm
There actually is something very important conveyed in the animated saga: Bruce let tragedy define him, but Terry never did. Terry had people who loved him and had a reason to fight and live, whereas Bruce never truly did. He created Batman more to appease himself than to actually make a difference. Even Freeze himself stated that his attempts to create a surrogate family reflected his selfishness; Nightwing later said that he sabotaged others because he knew he could never have anything himself. He created the Bat family to make something in his image, but because he taught them to be like him, they turned out cold and purposeless; that’s why he didn’t bring them back together, because he realized his mistake of making others like him, bitter and regretful. When he pulled a gun on a criminal, he realized he wasn’t Batman, or worthy to be him; in fact, on both accounts, he never was. How can you be worthy of something that never was supposed to be in the first place? Over the years he cut himself off emotionally, to where he was completely bitter, spiteful and apathetic, in order to keep the pain, guilt and shame away. He was forcefully torn from this state when Neo-Joker hit him with a lethal dosage of Joker Venom, causing him to remember the agony and suffering that he foolishly believed he was exempt from, which was the villains intention the whole time. He forced Bruce to laugh at how pathetic and worthless his life was. Joker at his core believed that life itself was pain, which is why he loved making people suffer, so he could give them the truth by spreading the pain around. Bruce could never stop him because pain defined him, and Joker fully knew this. He wanted to prove that anyone could lose themselves with enough suffering; Joker despised anything that lived and could love and be happy. The Venom was symbolic in that it forced others to laugh at the meaningless thing that was their life and life itself; he escalated his plans and influence as he was no longer content with Gotham receiving his message-he wanted the whole world to suffer, to plant and present to the new generation his reality. His genius was unparalleled, as he designed a nanite parasite piloted by an A.I. encoded with not only his DNA, memories and personality, he also designed and trained the A.I. with his very thought patterns, causing it to activate and alter Tim’s physiology into an exact replica of the Joker’s when he died in a time when Bruce was at his weakest and Gotham its least suspecting. He wanted to destroy the people Terry cared about, because he knew he wasn’t truly beaten as Bruce was. Joker wanted Terry to be just like Bruce so they could continue this dance forever; heck, he could have probably replicate the chip to continue the struggle with generations of Bats, making the conflict truly eternal and immortal. Terry was fundamentally different in every way. He moved on from his tragedy, and never let anything slow him down or defeat him. He took care of those he loved and valued them like any other person would, never fighting just for himself like Bruce did. Bruce never trusted anyone else more than Terry because of this. At first he refused Terry out of concern that he would be just like him, but soon realized that he surpassed him in every way; he even himself admitted this, saying that he failed everyone because he believed that Batman made him who he was, but knew that Terry made Batman a true hero because of his stoic heart and selfless, unwavering spirit. Terry knew who he was and that Batman was only what he chose to sustain, not become it himself. Joker was defeated because he never once counted on facing anyone like Terry, believing that anyone under Bruce’s tutelage would be an indistinguishable clone of him. Terry, while matured by Bruce’s wisdom, always retained his spirit and cleverness, fighting with his selfless craftiness and will rather than selfish rage and hatred. Like Bruce, the Joker believed the cowl made the man, not the other way around. Terry actually mocked Joker with his own ideals, causing him to enter an unstable, vengeful rage, which proved his downfall, as, like Megatron from Transformers Prime, he had never been on the receiving end of his own ruthlessness. Joker pinned, strangled and sadistically taunted him to make him prove his words, to laugh at the face of an evil that was seemingly below him; he tried to kill Terry to assert that his hate was inescapable and would always live beyond him. Terry fake laughed as a final insult to him before destroying the chip, symbolizing that he didn’t fear suffering, but braced it to do what needed to be done. Terry proved that pain didn’t define someone, but the acceptance and endurance of it made someone who they are, which was something The Joker could never accept or understand. Overall, Terry proved himself worthy of the cowl not just by stopping evil, but by staying true to himself and giving it a reason for being. His final scene of flying out over Neo-Gotham is the best as Terry accepts the life he’s led; with the greatest scourge of Gotham finally forced to face oblivion, Terry flies out to protect his city with his newfound understanding and acceptance.
shAWN sWINT thank a lot this helped me understand a lot. It also helped me see how Terry is the TRUE Batman compared to Bruce cause he had what it took to defeat the joker. After reading that only then did I realize the amazing and complex story telling of this movie. # Batman beyond forever.
It has notes reminiscent of classic Batman, from when the villain is from, while having parts of Beyond, who is the protagonist. Genius process of thought if you ask me.
@@chocov1233Yeah, fascinating how we can become nostalgic for things that don’t exist yet, like the potential future, cyberpunk and sprawling mega cities were envisioned as potential real world futures in things like Blade Runner. Since Blade Runner released all the way back in 1982, and we’re experiencing nostalgic for it, we’re nostalgic for an envisioning of the world many years from now from over 40 years ago. I guess back then people would’ve been nostalgic for Raypunk and Atompunk
Not to mention in 2019 clown culture is at its pinnacle (with the overwhelming popularity of the Joker film, and It: Chapter 2 along with Wrinkles the Clown)
In Justice League Epilogue, elderly Amanda Waller claimed that Terry Mcguinness didn't have Bruce's brilliant deductive reasoning, yet in Return Of The Joker, it was Terry who figured out Tim Drake was the Joker, as well as the purpose of the stolen parts, as well as the Joker's hideout at the Jolly Jack candy factory. It was also Terry who ultimately defeats the Joker using the Joker's own joy buzzer. Seems to me Terry is every bit Bruce's mental and psychological successor as well as his physical one.
Maybe Terry knows to play his cards closer to his chest than Bruce, knowing all about Cadmis and how Amanda might be on their side now, but they'll be a time when another Waller with another secret project?
I think it comes down to a difference in approach, knowledge, personality and style. Terry doesnt have Bruce's sheer scientific knowledge and specialist training but his deductive skills are definitely on par. Hell there are plenty of things he even does much better such as his more frequent use of disguises and deception to gain information outside of the cowl throughout the series. I think it especially helps that whilst Bruce was always very removed from Gotham- watching it from high above in both his lives. By contrast Terry has always been a part of it, he spends his time outside of being Batman as a normal teenager. And Above all else because of that he has a degree of empathy, compassion and understanding of people Bruce never did. Not to say that Bruce had none at all (I mean in the DCAU we have at least 2 Robins as proof of that), but simply that Terry's is far greater. I mean think about it, for all his skill, brilliance and genius and the many years he fought the Joker Bruce could never find a way to truly beat him. Yet in his first (and Last) outing against a version of him with pretty much All Bruce's combat skill Terry very quickly manages to deconstruct the Joker on a personal level (which contributes largely to his defeat) simply because he was able to understand who the Joker was. Not as A Villain or a Threat or an Obstacle but as an actual Person.
Well Bruce had a lot more time to prepare and study, not to mention Amanda should only have really gotten a good grasp of who and how Bruce was by the time he already had had one hell of a on going career, Terry had somewhat of a more humble begining being a rough teenager and all
Basically, Terry works more on intuition and instinct, while Bruce is all about logic and analysis. You can stump Bruce by being impossible to predict (see Flash in the JL episode "A Better World"), which probably wouldn't work on Terry.
Because he makes sense because unlike character like Miles Morales and Jane Foster Thor he has a very different supporting cast, it makes sense he’d carry on the legacy as Bruce is old af, He’s a drastically different character as Bruce was in his eyes a noble crusader since the moment his parents died whereas terry steals the Batsuit and becomes Batman through selfishness but learns to be better as the series progressed, also new setting/aesthetic, Terry is young to contrast the normal 25-35 yo Batman were used to.
Well, they made several comic series extending the DCAU storyline, integrated Terry McGinnis into mainline DC continuity, and gave Justice League Beyond its own run. I'd say they've done a lot with it, no?
"And he began to share such secrets with me. Secrets that are mine alone to know... Bruce. It's true batsy. I know everything. And kind of like the kid looking at his presents, it's sadly anticlimactic. Behind all the stern and batarangs, your just a little boy in a play suit, crying for mommy and daddy. It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic. Eh what the neck, I'll laugh any way. Hahahahahahahahahaha." Love the line
God that poster said it all. This was really Terry's time to shine and take on Batman's greatest enemy. Man, I wish more songs would evoke this much emotion in the animated movies.
Batman: Yeah but you don't know a thing about me Joker: YOU ? What's to know you're a punk. A rank amateur. A Costumed errand boy taking orders from a senile old man.................. still if it's a whooping your a wantin Classic gold
Terry played Joker at his own game and won. The only TRUE successor to the mantle IMO as he didn’t just become a Batman, he became HIS Batman. He became Batman Beyond. Growing up in the early 2000s was truly a gift.
Well, think about it. This is an evolved Batman Beyond, a experienced Terry on his A game, so he gets an evolved theme. He was still green in the original version, so his theme was more basic there.
What Makes Both Themes So Awesome is That it Combines Both the Somber Orchestra Music From Batman: TNBA & The Cyberpunk Heavy Metal Atmosphere of Batman Beyond.
this fucking show was so gnarly, it had kickass music and it was just so sick. Fun fact christopher nolan's batman series was originally going to be based on batman beyond.
I never liked the theme of the Beyond-series, but, when I heard this theme for the movie, I actually had tears in my eyes, when the Burton/TAS-Theme kicked in... This is such an amazing piece of art... taking an amazing theme, and incorporating it into this movie via this very song/theme was just... well, amazing.
back in the day when dc was great and made good quality animation.this and mask of the phantasm are the best movies that cannot be surpassed by the live action.
They did not have to go this hard on a direct to video feature but the entire production staff and crew just took off and made one of the best written batman stories of all time, backed up by this powerhouse of a Score.
This was one clown who refused to stay dead, which was why I liked how they had Terry fry him at the end to make sure he was finally gone for good. Go back to Hell Joker, and stay there this time.
"You know, kids, a lot has changed since your old Uncle Joker's been away. New Gotham, new rules... even a new Batman. But now I'm tanned, I'm rested and I'm ready to give this old town a wedgie again!"
It's funny, I listen to this after the orchestral/choral themes of Mask of the Phantasm, and both of these themes are epic for completely different reasons. I can't rightly say one is better than the other. Kinda mirrors how I feel about the characters, to be honest.
I actually got to request the opening theme from a college radio program that specialized in video game and cartoon music. I always smile when I think about those times. Thanks for posting this.
This is just beyond awesomeness. I don't care whether other viewers like it or not, but Batman (both Bruce Wayne & Terry McGinnis) proved their part with great performance and succeeded to conquer their fans' mind with their attitude, performance & theatrical game changing surprises. At the end of the day they proved it Batman character is beyond someone's deduction and assumption. That's why Batman is the only superhero in the Justice League with no supernatural power. Maybe it is the only Superhero character with a possibility of real life inauguration. I'll simply say that "ALL HAIL TO BATMAN- THE DARK KNIGHT".
Why the fuck was this show cancelled. And don't give me that "They continued it in comics" crap. This show, the TELEVISION SHOW, needs to be revived. Most people including me can't find comics like those and we have to get digital codes or pay to read them online! I'm tired of ranting so I'll just leave **flips a table and walks out and slams the door close**
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_Beyond "the series was put on hold for the Justice League animated series, despite the network having announced plans for a fourth season."

The music is very proggy in nature which describes Damiens chilly character and live easy attitude towards life, it fits perfectly
@@rijubentonn2222 Damian? This is TERRY
God that poster said it all. This was really Terry's time to shine and take on Batman's greatest enemy. Man, I wish more songs would evoke this much emotion in the animated movies.
This is the best Batman movie. NO ONE can change my mind.
Batman: Yeah but you don't know a thing about me
Joker: YOU ? What's to know you're a punk. A rank amateur. A Costumed errand boy taking orders from a senile old man.................. still if it's a whooping your a wantin
Classic gold
DarkSavage16 Then Joker proceeds to get kicked straight in his joy buzzer (the balls) by terry.
Even though pulled out and won that shit in a matter of moments in under like 15 minutes
A ranked amateur
"lets dance bozo" >:/
That's right. Better to run and save yourself. It's about your speed.
One of the most badass m cartoon themes songs ever. Kenny Wayne Shepard’s masterful guitar play made them so very sexy in my opinion!
Wait what?? The same dude of true lies?? WOW!!! I always said he's so underrated as a guitarist.
Terry played Joker at his own game and won. The only TRUE successor to the mantle IMO as he didn’t just become a Batman, he became HIS Batman. He became Batman Beyond. Growing up in the early 2000s was truly a gift.
I love that guitar!
Kicks the original Batman Beyond theme right out of the water.
yes, it does
Well, think about it. This is an evolved Batman Beyond, a experienced Terry on his A game, so he gets an evolved theme. He was still green in the original version, so his theme was more basic there.
What Makes Both Themes So Awesome is That it Combines Both the Somber Orchestra Music From Batman: TNBA & The Cyberpunk Heavy Metal Atmosphere of Batman Beyond.
this fucking show was so gnarly, it had kickass music and it was just so sick.
Fun fact christopher nolan's batman series was originally going to be based on batman beyond.
I don't think so. I've read that WB was supposed to make Batman Beyond based film, but it was cancelled and they went for the classic approach.
redjaredits you probably mean before Nolan was involved since Nolan wanted realism
This theme holds up! One of the best Batman themes out there!
I never liked the theme of the Beyond-series, but, when I heard this theme for the movie, I actually had tears in my eyes, when the Burton/TAS-Theme kicked in... This is such an amazing piece of art... taking an amazing theme, and incorporating it into this movie via this very song/theme was just... well, amazing.
“That ain’t coming out of my allowance.”
Some of the best music from any DC movie ever!
IKR. It Has The Heavy Metal Awesomeness of Batman Beyond & The Orchestra Greatness of Batman TNBA!!!
1:28-1:52 Love replaying that part over and over.
1:06 - 1:28 / 3:50 - 4:12
best part hands down
Agreeded
0:33-0:40
@@user-rr2iw5zh3hyeah, that’s cool as well
Daamn right it is
The only thing I hate about this movie is that it ends. 😓😭
that and the Bruce/Barbara relationship
@@mudkipzuzu That too. That was gross.
@@mitchfletcher2386 Blame Bruce Timm for that one. LOL!!!
On god
@@mudkipzuzu Repress! Repress! Find me the brain bleach!
back in the day when dc was great and made good quality animation.this and mask of the phantasm are the best movies that cannot be surpassed by the live action.
Goddamn 47 Well, Son of Batman, Batman vs Robin and Bad Blood were terrible, but Gotham by Gaslight and the second half of Killing Joke were great.
Young justice
@@KrisFrost4359 The Killing Joke was a great movie too :)
I am vengeance
I am the night
I Am BATMAN!
You're pretty strong... for some clown who thinks he's Batman.
I AM Batman!
This theme stays hard. ROCKSTEADY! GET ON A BATMAN BEYOND GAME!
They did not have to go this hard on a direct to video feature but the entire production staff and crew just took off and made one of the best written batman stories of all time, backed up by this powerhouse of a Score.
I always get goosebumps, when the original Batman/BTAs-Theme is heard ib this theme.
Ahh memories. This was such a great show :) really miss this stuff
I can’t even describe the pure bliss at the half way point it make my hair stand on end , Pure lightning
Terry is fuckin awesome as Batman
The best Succesor on my book
This makes me want to live a dangerous life in a densely populated city. Amazing music.
No wonder I was digged the guitar work on this jam.
It's Kenny Wayne Shepard shredding!
In my opinion, this is the best Batman theme. I just love the guitar so god damn much!!!
This was one clown who refused to stay dead, which was why I liked how they had Terry fry him at the end to make sure he was finally gone for good. Go back to Hell Joker, and stay there this time.
You can tell whoever made this was having fun. This gives me so much Batman Beyond hype and nostalgia!
This song makes me want to watch the movie but when I start the movie I remember how many times I've watched it already.
One of the best Batman themes ever for one of the best Batman movies ever.
Use to Watch this movie nun stop when I was a kid man memories
Yeah me too.. I dont like Batman but Batman Beyond WAS AMAZING.. I miss Terry so much Kris Scott
Why there is yet to be a batman beyond tv show or movie, is beyond me. Pun not intended
2:41-2:50 I get chills every time
1:00-1:05 for me

Always enjoyed Batman Beyond, and this movie just added to it's awesomeness!
Kenny Wayne Shepherd did a good job, gotta love that intro.
"You know, kids, a lot has changed since your old Uncle Joker's been away. New Gotham, new rules... even a new Batman. But now I'm tanned, I'm rested and I'm ready to give this old town a wedgie again!"
It's funny, I listen to this after the orchestral/choral themes of Mask of the Phantasm, and both of these themes are epic for completely different reasons. I can't rightly say one is better than the other. Kinda mirrors how I feel about the characters, to be honest.
soooo old this movie its one of best batman movies ive ever seen
the series is also cool reccomend to anybody to see the series and then the movie to understand well how terry is a legend!!!
Really good movie. Still have my old VHS of this.
My eyes...oh how they start to water as this song plays.
I actually got to request the opening theme from a college radio program that specialized in video game and cartoon music. I always smile when I think about those times.
Thanks for posting this.
This is LEGENDARY
I love this movie so much man, one of THE best Batman films
I always liked that song and the movie good times, good times
This is just beyond awesomeness. I don't care whether other viewers like it or not, but Batman (both Bruce Wayne & Terry McGinnis) proved their part with great performance and succeeded to conquer their fans' mind with their attitude, performance & theatrical game changing surprises.
At the end of the day they proved it Batman character is beyond someone's deduction and assumption. That's why Batman is the only superhero in the Justice League with no supernatural power.
Maybe it is the only Superhero character with a possibility of real life inauguration. I'll simply say that "ALL HAIL TO BATMAN- THE DARK KNIGHT".
I always think this is the best animated Batman movie ever .
Wayne Static did a great job making it remarkably the best DC Animated Movie Theme ever, RIP Wayne
The perfect mix of orchestral and industrial rock.
"You know kids, a lot has changed while your old uncle Joker's been away. New Gotham, new rules...even a new Batman!"
The definition of aura.
Delightfully terrifying. Hats off to Kenny Wayne Shepherd for beasting this jubilation.
You know Terry is The Batman from the moment he defeated the Joker
Puts u in a creative mind state
Big shout out to Christopher Carter for composing this masterpiece
Thank you Kristopher Carter and Kenny Wayne Shepard. This track is so underrated.
why is the joker's face green on the box art? thats been on my head for years.
me too
Me too! :l
Dragonmots is this the reason why darth maul's face is blue on the soundtrack cover for episode I?
Darth Vader Possibly. In that case it makes his sith eyes stand out more.
+Paladin same here
Masterpiece ❤️
this theme song is awesome
there it is, the legend of the caped crusader, of the dark knight, comes to its ultimate final conclusion.
the true ending to the BATMAN story
Its stuff like this that makes you feel like its the 2000s still
This Theme Is BADASS!!! 😎
It is worthy the spot of first soundtrack made for animated movie among those on your channel. I love this piece.
The best animated superhero movie of 2000
Joker: "Brave new world with such putzes in it"
Kenny Wayne Shepard OWNED this
Why the fuck was this show cancelled. And don't give me that "They continued it in comics" crap. This show, the TELEVISION SHOW, needs to be revived. Most people including me can't find comics like those and we have to get digital codes or pay to read them online! I'm tired of ranting so I'll just leave **flips a table and walks out and slams the door close**
This show is canceled because justice league is started, i miss batman beyond :P
KUJ W DUPIE TV Well thats a dumb reason
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_Beyond
"the series was put on hold for the Justice League animated series, despite the network having announced plans for a fourth season."
KUJ W DUPIE TV Why would they put it on hold I mean CN has a thousand cartoons
Spidey View Well, they did sorta put the fifth season for the original Teen Titans on hold to do Teen Titans Blow! Why do such a thing when the people making the new show didn't even watch the original?
Sweet memories ;D
Mr. J's on the rebound, baby!! My comeback party's gonna set the whole town on fire!!
i remember i was a kid and watching the making of of the dvd, the guitarrist say "i asked my nephew what they think about this guitar solo in the batman movie" and they stay 😧😲
Still waiting for a live action adaptation of this
I have this movie it's awesome 😃
But I love the graphics
The Joker torturing Robin really screwed with me back when I was 10.. One of the best batman movies though..
