Before watching this movie, I will admit I have not actually seen the
Batman Beyond cartoon, nor have I seen Batman: The Animated Series. However, I
am aware of both shows and their relation to the DCAU, as well as how highly
praised they are (especially the latter). What spurred me to watch Batman
Beyond: Return of the Joker, however, was learning about how well thought-of it
and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm are, though let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Despite not having any prior knowledge of Terry McGinnis’ tenure as the dark
knight, I found his battle against the Joker to be a very solid movie.
