Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker

the rebelious nature of the writers is why Beyond is so good it's got that teen spirit lol
I never found anything disturbing about Batman Beyond as a kid; I always thought the body horror was cool. Even today, all of that pales in comparison to the "Last Resort" episode where students were being sent to a reeducation camp using cult tactics to torture and brainwash them.
Me too!
That one especially got to me too, because I kinda went through the exact same thing; I'm a PCS Survivor. 😥
the primary villain of that episode was actually included on the pure evil wiki
you must be emo then
@@Miss_Michaelz What's PCS, if you don't mind my asking?
Yeah Return of the Joker was pretty terrifying. I think the main reason it hits so hard is that Robin isn't just some random character introduced in the movie, this is a character that we've grown to love and care about over the course of the whole New Batman Adventures series. Not only that but Tim's role in the show was really that of an audience surrogate; watching the show as a kid you couldn't really imagine yourself as Batman, but it was a lot easier to put yourself in Tim's shoes.
They were able to push the boundaries on Batman Beyond because it aired on the WB, so it less censorship and restrictions compared to Batman TAS was airing on Fox.
This is also why season four of Batman ( the “ red sky “ episodes) got darker in tone once it went over to the WB as well.
Episodes like “ critters”, “ legends of the dark knight” , over the edge “ never fear” and “ mad love “ never could have aired while the show was on Fox
That explains Scarecrow's f*cking scary redesign.
Don't forget Spellbinder existing, Shriek going deaf in real time and the Defenders of the Lost Sector just being mall rats turned soldier
YES I fucking love Batman Beyond! Unpopular opinion but as a whole, I like it a lot more than BTAS because of the darker themes, more energetic action, neo-Gotham atmosphere, side characters, old Bruce/young McGinnis dynamic, McGinnis' daily life as a student, etc. What's even more impressive to me is how they managed to pull all of it off without relying heavily on Batman's typical super well-written rogue gallery. As an adult I think it's aged a lot better too, even though BTAS has a lot more single episodes that are stronger that I still love.
That's a problem with this show. It's villains are dog shit. Still it's a pretty great show.
Same, it’s my top favorite DCAU show, period, wish we got more from it, the comics are pretty cool but the show is something I genuinely want more of till this day.
AY, LOOK AT MiZZ HAPPY OVER HERE !
[NOT YELLiNG, JUZT LiKE TYPiNG iN CAPZ]
I had always assumed the 'Reporters' were just 'Talking Head Holograms', not actual real people, thus the coloring.
Kind of like how, in a lot of 'Cyberpunk' fiction, you see floating holo advertisements all around.
I think the ending for the episode April Moon was perhaps the darkest ending from any kids cartoon, not just this series.
This was literally the first episode I thought of when I read the title of this video and I'm a bit surprised it didn't actually made the video. That ending... Even to the standards of this show, it makes you wonder: how did they get away with that? Showing a vengeful doctor in the process of committing cold blooded murder, in a very gruesome way.
@@BjornV1994 That man builds cybernetic marvels. That punk would be lucky if he was allowed to die and not wake up as a sentient expresso machine, or a litter robot, or some other tortuous form.
@@speake7777777 True, but the way he moved in with the drill, I feel the good doctor was going for a nice and quick revenge kill. That said, we can't also forget that, while the implications are clear for the fate of this leader character, his wife (who cheated him for all that's he was worth) is also still alive and he is aware of this...
And we don't know if he didn't have plans for her...
For me two things that stood out when I rewatched it was the utilitarian tone to the GCPD and the society overall.
Hence why the show had a very grim tone to it and elements of body horror merged perfectly with the cyberpunk aesthetic.
Perhaps that could be your next video.
So much I had forgotten and not to mention with the old era of scheduled TV programming there are plenty of episodes I haven't seen.
The rat person that kidnapped Terry's girlfriend and then commanded his rats to eat her alive is high on the list of scary for me. But for my #1 I'd have to go with when Terry was invited by Superman to find the traitor in the Justice League. That was my first introduction to Starro and it scared the crap out of me.
To be fair to Bruce making dark jokes, this Bruce Wayne is pretty thoroughly disillusioned. He spent decades in retirement, hiding from the world and not helping anybody. He still won't kill intentionally, but he's not the same guy we knew in TAS. But through his mentoring of Terry, he learns to care again.
Anyway, I'm surprised how much I've forgotten (but never that guy falling through the floor -- horrifying). Now I have to rewatch, so thanks!
(Also, note: Bruce is wrong. If the dude is truly intangible, he'll be completely frictionless, and thus fall straight through the Earth's core and pop up on the other side. He should reach EXACTLY the same distance from the core, so there's a good chance he'll reappear briefly unless he gets stuck in a mountain. At that point, gravity will finally have slowed him down enough that he'll turn around and go back. The only issue with this is that he seems to still have some ability to slow his descent when we last see him... That might prevent him from reaching the other side of the Earth. But theoretically, if Bruce could figure out how to cure him, they could do the math and go meet him... assuming he doesn't need air/food/water, of course.)
Obviously gravity is acting on this guy or head just float so no he would not go throught to the other side. Hed probably bouce around thousands of miles underneath the esrths crust going from one direct to the other based on which direct gravity is acting on him the weakest until it balanced out and hed basically orbit underneaththe gorund forever . Gravity is radial basicallyexcept the force is exterted from thr outside not the inside. Thats why the earth is round. It pushes down based on the location and mass. Once he moves direction of the gravity pushing on him would change
@@macalloway1 Exactly. And it keeps pulling him. As he accelerates toward the center of the Earth, he'd continue to speed up (no terminal velocity if he's truly intangible). He'd rocket through the center at X speed, at which point the direction of gravity reverse and begins to slow him down. Assuming no friction (because intangible), it would take just as long to fully decelerate as it did to accelerate, hence he'd reach the same distance from the center, potentially popping up on the other side depending on changes in elevation. Then, once his velocity hits zero, he'd start to fall again and the process repeats. It's kinda like he's the world's longest pendulum.
I believe that you’re missing crucial information. The earth’s core is flaming hot magma. Ain’t no rendezvous with intangible ashes…
@@weirdalexander8193 We have no evidence he'd be affected by heat.
@@davidbjacobs3598well, the phasing properties of that belt don’t seem to work on light, because we can see him and he’s not blind when using it (people see by having light hit the backs of their eyes). Heated objects emit infrared radiation (a different form of light), which also heats things, so he’ll be burned up, just slower than the direct approach. Coincidentally, the earth’s core is heated both by intense pressures and ancient supplies of RADIOACTIVE ORE, so that probably won’t help his survival odds… on the slightly brighter side, that gizmo worked (too well) by fiddling with the charges of his atoms, thus allowing them to be forced through the fields of other atoms, with minimal chance of bumping in to the actual solid parts. He may just decohere entirely before breaking a sweat, panicking one moment, saying hi to Etrigan’s family the next. It was probably going to happen anyways, what with this happening WITHOUT contact with the belt, but the heat may speed up the process, since heat is just atoms vibrating. I’d say his atomic structure is pretty shaken already, don’t you?
The Splicers episode literally made me cry when I was little; mainly the part where Terry was turned into Bat Monster. 😅
Bruce made jokes about the Joker dying too
Plane explodes
Harley:Pudding!
Batman:At this point he probably is.
Bane isn't comatose, he's fully awake and cognizant. Which is frankly, much, much worse with the fact his muscles have basically dissolved. He's utterly helpless and can't do anything by himself anymore. For someone who prided himself on his abilities, personal power, and leadership... he's lost everything, not just everything that he had, but everything that *makes him who he is.* Every day is probably like a personal hell for him.
I can say for certain that the crew took advantage of the fact that Batman Beyond was set in the future, so it allowed them to make it more graphic and dark
For some reason, almost none of this stuck out to me as a kid, the Terrific Trio's deaths kind of did, mainly Freeon/blue girl's death
One of the things that did after i was going into my Teens, was the episode that was basically their take on Virtual Reality (I'm sure it has a name but i don't remember what it is). Max gets thrown into Virtual Reality and once she gets rescued by Terry/Batman, she says something about how much it hurts to be pulled back into reality, how she wants to stay in the place forever. That is still something i think about years later.
You’re right about the news anchors and not reaching at all. In the commentary, the show creators state that they wanted to show that the news anchors were holograms, but they were unsure how they could draw a hologram with traditional animation.
Maybe I've just been thinking too much about Lost Soul since the last time I saw that death scene, but I'm pretty sure the "grandfather" was actually just a program designed to think it was Robert Vance, using his digitized memories as data to run off of. That could explain why "he" went to the replacing "his" grandson, the program malfunctioned and enacted this plan- as I recall, the Vance program was designed to be a tool he left behind for his descendants/future CEOs of his company to learn how to run his company. If the program was flawed or saw the grandson as a failure that couldn't follow "his" instruction, that might be why it jumped to trying to just upload itself into him.
I've always been a bit skeptical of mind-uploading stories in fiction. You can program a piece of software to think whatever you want it to--even to the extent that it thinks it's a real person. I believe your interpretation of the "Lost Soul" AI is probably the most reasonable I've seen.
The Terrific Trio actually do not die there in the Batman Beyond comics returning as villain's.
Forgot to mention derek powers getting exposed to the toxic gas that turns him into blight ,always made my skin itch
Also inque trying to suffocate terry always gave me chest pain
Apparently RotJ had an extremely disturbing deleted scene where Terry would have tailed Bruce to the abandoned Arkham Asylum and seen the Joker’s corpse
The betrayal the medical scientist woman gave Mr. Freeze, he iced her. Raz al gul(sorry for the misspell I'm baked) taking over his daughters body. Harlequins twin granddaughters, who where the parents? They were quite strong for gemini mind martial artist, Terry is wearing power armor, but they do thrash him a bit, quite scary.
Loved the entire DC Animated Universe by Dwayne McDuffie, Bruce Timm and Co.
The Earth Mover episode was so eerie man, the most chilling thing ever ! Scarier than most live action horror movies man!
Inque has been the Batman beyond villain I know the best of since 1999; her forcing himself down Terry’s mouth being the cause of that. Back in 1999 I couldn’t understand why she did that. It wasn’t until 2008, when turning 13 I finally watched Batman beyond again for the first time in yrs that I found out why she did that: Powers told her to kill Batman; I never remembered Powers giving that order back in 1999. So now that I knew, I was beginning to think that Inque was giving Terry the Majin Buu treatment but I eventually found Batman beyond wiki and it said that she was attempting to suffocate him. It was at that moment that everything became clear.
Mr Berkowitz are you okay? lol.. As for Bruce being nonchalant about the guy falling to the center of the earth he is just coldly facing the reality that they can't possibly save him.
You forgot to add that part about Ra's al Ghul possesing Talia's body. What makes it creepy is the implication that Ra's was probably in her body living as a woman for decades.
You know? There is an interesitng theory that rhe return of the joker movie, origianlly had Tim himsefl as the villain. Not just possesed by/with the joker in him but actually onhis own becoming a new joker out of hatred for Bruce and wanting revenge on him and Gotham. There is some evidence for it to. The Jokers actions in the movie are very odd as he goes out of his way to not ruin Tim's life and keep his family safe and his job to. Tim is able to detect/notice Terry when he's stealthed claiming it's old training when the show, constnatly shows Terry only getting noticed by people who are avticlvy looking for him or with tech.
And above all, how on earth did nobody including bruce or the tech companies Tim worked for, NOT notice the Joker implant? ANd why did the joker wait decades to take over? And most of all, his plan isn't even a joker plan. More an immitation of one as it has no jokebehind it. It's just 'get a giant space laser.' And sense when did the joker like advanced tech? he always preferred practical and down to earth stuff he could 'Jokerize.'
Even Terry comes up with the idea that it's Tim himself doing this.
So it's quite likley Tim was suppoused to be the main villain, but they had to change it at the last minute to be him possesed either out of cencorship or concern for hurting his character and his many fans.
But honeslty Tim willingly becoming the joker out of hatred for what he went through wouldbe FAR more disturbing and interesting.
Lived long enough to become the villain.
I'm pretty sure the chip kicks in when Tim has the nightmares I thought you already knew that because they say that in the movie
@@nightwing6062 That still deosn't expalin how nobody, including the advanced tech companies Tim worked for never found the chip at any point despite it being advaned tech.
I first watched Batman beyond return of the joker back in 2003; I was only 8. I saw how he broke Robin down but I never knew that the scene itself was supposed to be dark. I didn’t know that everyone considered dark until I was 20.
Nothing in the movie was scary except for one thing for me that made me scared to get out of the bedroom covers: Terry turning over Bruce to reveal his frozen smile. Nothing in the film was scary to 8 year old me except for that scene.
This show came out when I was in my early twenties and (as a huge Batman fan) initially I wasn't bothered about watching it, until a mate of mine suggested we both give it a try and we rented a VHS of it. My scepticism of the idea of a teenage Batman was quickly put aside and I really got into it. I managed to find all the VHS versions of it that were released here in the UK (found a couple going cheap in a charity shop here in the UK, which was pretty cool) and I ended up loving the show so much I bought the US Region 1 DVDs of each season and the Return of the Joker Movie off eBay. I was genuinely surprised at some of the more horror-fied elements they got away with in it, considering that it's ostensibly a kids show. Earth Mover (which kinda reminded me of the first episode of the anime Cyber city Oedo 808) and Lost Souls particularly. Great stuff!
good vid
i hope this channel gets more subs
you deserve it
And here is the thing: there were plans for a second movie which was supposed to become the "proper" finale to Batman Beyond.
While it never got off the ground beyond a few treatments and ideas there were still a lot of pieces from it used later on for the famous Justice League episode "Epilogue", including *that* plot-revelation, even though in the canned movie it would've happened differently.
The plot of the movie would've basically centered around Terry becoming his own (Bat)man by facing a new brutal vigilante who appears in neo Gotham (who was refered to in some bits as "The Wraith"). This character was supposed to be another anti-Batman, and he would've basically gone around and started to end the lives of the few remaining Batman villains (I remember reading that the first scene of the second movie would've been Terry investigating the murder of Edward Nygma/The riddler), and Wraith would've actually beaten Terry up so badly in their first fight that he actually needs to get send to the hospital, which then would've lead into the revelation which was used in "Epilogue" later down the line.
Also, there were apparently plans to use this movie to explain how the Bat-family broke apart after the events shown in the RotJ happened, and how Batman ended up alone (there were rumors that they were going to show a scene were Batman gets kicked out of the Justice-League, but that was never confirmed and feels unlikely due to the rights issues of Wonder-Woman they had back then)
i have so many memories of this iteration of Batman, any time a new episode came out, i was on it.
ALSO this video was great. good quality and informative of some things i didn't know. looking forward to more!
In my opinion, though Beyond was pretty messed up at certain points, the scariest thing in the DCAU for me as a kiddo was actually an episode of the new batman adventures. The episode is basically the scarecrow gives Bruce a modified fear toxin that takes away his fear, and he goes through the whole episode with no inhibitions, almost killing criminals while Tim tries to stop him. I've always found the idea of not being in control of your own actions to be really scary and that episode really stuck with me.
I don’t think the show was intended for kids. The creators wanted to tell compelling animated stories on par with the comics but the tv landscape at the time only allowed for action cartoons to be marketed towards children. It’s the same reason shows like Outlaw Star were edited to tv y7 even though it wasn’t a kid’s show. Today more adults watch animation so we can have tv14 and tvma animation that isn’t a comedy.
9:40 I don't think Bruce was making a joke it is true what he said, and unfortunately no one can do anything to save that man not even superman because of that phasing ability
RIP Kevin Conroy, the best voice of Bruce Wayne in the various animated series, and who also played Bruce Wayne in Batman Beyond. Thank you very much for making this video examining the horror-style elements of this underappreciated TV show.
I would also love to see an Arkham-style game developed for the Batman Beyond TV series, with Will Friedle reprising his role as Terry McGinnis once again.
Even the creators admit in commentaries that this show was the darkest of the DCAU
Funny thing: they sent in the egg baby episode to the daytime Emmys as a joke because it was a much less serious episode and wasn't really matching with the dark tone of the rest of the show, but it actually ended up winning
MAN I WAS TRYING TO FIND THE NAME OF THAT EPISODE 'EARTHMOVER' AFTER 24 YEARS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I REMEMBER BEING 6 YEARS OLD AND BEING SCARED SHITLESS AFTER WATCHING THAT EPISODE!.
Liked this video A LOT you exposed what I was thinking was this show, what I didn't like was the gameplay in background which is not optimal (no perfect combos and/or perfect counters etc.). At the end of the day it was really well done, all the research and videos + images popped out during the video
Honestly one of my favorite Batman storylines as a kid.
I will never forgive the cancellation of the Batman Beyond movie
i had like 5 to 6 years when i watched the joker episode an it was on wide broadcast televasion, the free version, on Brazil
I miss this Batman show so much Batman beyond is my favorite version of Batman.
It's like Spiderman with a Batman skin.
I love Batman Beyond.
The reporters are based off of Max Headroom in my opinion
I can't believe how no one is talking about the opening that ended up being cut out of the Return of the Joker movie, like I've watched all of Batman Beyond and very few things freaked me out. Had my younger self saw that opening, that would've really scared the crap out of me more than anything in the entirety of Batman Beyond.
It's less of Batman Beyond being a horror story and more of a Batman IP naturally having horror elements. Casting fear is Batman's MO, after all
I feel like I missed out on some great Batman media.
If only the batman beyond series was TV MA, I can tell that's what they wanted Hopefully we'll get a more brutal darker batman beyond in a neon cyberpunk future
What makes what happened with the Terrific Trio so shocking is that Batman killed them and that's always the one line he never crosses. In the episode its done and forgotten so casually.
That's why Terry is better than that lame boy scout (Bruce).
It is pretty crazy how much more people die in this show compared to the animated series 😂 & even Justice League. & I’m still confused if Terry is killing these people on purpose cause it’s never even addressed not even by Bruce less you count where everyone thought he killed Mad Stan cause of Spellbinder episode
Groundmovers was the first episode i saw and i was so disturbed and yet so intrigued
1 more show to add to a list of dark kids shows that didn't bother me as a kid, but get a reaction as an adult.
You know what... This is super fair lol this show got DARK!!!
Weren't the Fantastic Four parodies already dying, though?
The guy in Splicers was based visually on The Phantom Of The Paradise (before he turned into the tumor, of course). Source: the audio commentary.
And I think the guy in Lost Souls is based visually on God in Time Bandits. No source, but they look similar.
LOOK AT THIS!! (Yeah, something a kid would not expect)
I dunno,the horror of Neo Gotham City’s new villains?
At the time, I just thought the writers were going with the "darker and edgier" Dark Age and cyberpunk trends of the 1990s.
where's last resort? that's easily the darkest episode of this show by far
I love thinking back to this show, it gives me this very specific feeling that is completely separate from nostalgia. It feels like a fever dream.
For me, it was mostly the intro that freaked me out when I was a kid. Not gonna lie, even to this day I still get low key anxiety when watching that title sequence. The visuals were quite an intense thing to see as a kid. However the theme itself was awesome.
I actually felt the opposite. The reason I started watching the show was because the theme was awesome. So futuristic and fast paced, with hints of scary looking villains to come. And I hadn't heard music like that before.
The Lost Soul face wasn't disturbing to me... but every time I see it I think I'm looking at MAL from Captain Planet.
while it’s surprising that some stuff slipped by censors - some actually didn’t! return of the joker was heavily censored, including an entire new death scene for the joker. however, the common one now is the original cut that was later released.
5:01 I remember Earthmover freaking me tf out as a kid. Especially when he roars and those eyes go wide, perfect fuel.
I thought this show did really solid cyberpunk stuff
You should have been a child watching the animated series. Learned a lot about life in that show.
The villain deaths in this show were something else lol. It's like Dini and Timm got together, asked "What's the worst shit we can do to villains that's not _technically_ killing them?" and said "Good, let's make it worse. Let's make it _so much_ worse."
Honorable mention to April Moon which... it's not as much of a nightmare as the rest, but you just know this won't end well.
We need a batman beyond game with the same feel as cyberpunk 2077
A buggy glitchy incomplete mess.?
The og joker death where he is electrocuted was better than tim shooting him
Tim shooting Joker was the original way Joker (in this universe) died. It also makes more sense for the context of Joker breaking into the bat cave and tearing up his old robin suit.
That holy “frag” scared the FUCK out of me. I thought somebody was outside my fcking car window …
In terms of scary by implication, Spellbinder's junkie house filled with teenagers desperately trying to find experience those highs is disturbing.
14:02 I wish they made it later on in the future so marvel can make the Spider-Man 2099 animated series adaptation
I didn't watch much Beyond as a kid, mostly since I didn't know which channel it was ever on, but I always enjoyed the creepier episodes that I caught.
The immortality of Mr Freeze was also something very scaru when you think of it's existential consecuences (loosing all your beloved people and being depressed because you can't have peace), while is also terrifying the bad luck of Victor Fries as he's betrayed.
Another horror thing can be the robotic girlfriend (at least, very cursed, but also is Dark the danger of that), the Terry's Friend mutated, the destiny of Talia Al Ghul (and the cursed Ra's Al Ghul being trans), the Superman's destiny of being possesed by a Starro during a decade or more years (it's horrendous that he lost a lot of important moment, even the possibility that he didn't say goodbye to a Dying Lois Lane)
Kids that time were not stupid, spoiled, house confined, pieces of cristal, we could afford see something scary or challenging, because we could FEEL something beyond a cellphone!
Amen to that

In the episode "vox" from star trek discovery, a white slime tentacle monster does its thing...
I just enjoyed every part of batman beyond. Maybe it's how i was 13 when it came out.
Splicers ended up with a literal not!Thing that tried to eat Terry. Then Cuvier gets blown up by a wall of fire.
You know you can say that about every Batman thing
7:47 CZcams recommended me a fandub of a graphic novel that adapted a children’s book that’s worse than these because it’s like 10 times darker, and the crazy writer doesn’t know how to restrain themselves from going to far to where I don’t know how to react to plot points, tui WHY DID YOU MAKE A 3 YEAR OLD HAVE THE SAME PLOTLINE AS CHARACTERS FROM SIMIAN JIMMY’S HIGH SCHOOL SHORT FILMS!
Like what is wrong with the person who thought that was ever a good idea, actually no why was that even a serious idea?
Berkowitz has the dog to talk to.
One of the greatest cartoon series made
If anyone reads this i wish u a good nights sleep. In the dvd directors commentary for return of the joker, its discussed over a partially drawn scrapped storyboard that old Bruce was to revisit Arkham where they buried the original jokers body. The camera would pan up revealing someone had dug up the *JOKERS DEAD BODY* and hung it with a sign saying "I Know Your secret"
Earth Mover is even creepier in hindsight when you realize the type of person that Stephen Collins (the titular antagonist's voice actor) turned out to be in real life...
The Bane episode of Batman Beyond was an anti-drug PSA. The government used to give subsidies to TV shows that made educational and anti-drug episodes. If you ever watch a show from the 80's to 2000's and a character starts giving a lecture about how bad drugs are even when it didn't make much for the episode, that's because the show was getting tax breaks or funds from the government. Batman Beyond also had an anti-bullying PSA with the Willy Watt episode.
Man none of these are disturbing. Batman Beyond was actually amazing.
Aired in the same block as Pokémon.
It was awesome
It was a little bit creepy and dark sometimes but it made it more awesome and interesting
Yeah, I agree as much as I love the Batman Beyond TV show but when I was a kid watching those episodes, I found them traumatizing especially black out. When I was a kid, I had a fear of drowning, so seeing Terry being suffocated from the inside by inque I was terrified as a kid I still get chills up and down my spine when I rewatch that episode.
Video is about to blow up 🎉
It was my introduction to the dcau and I'm somewhat glad for that, mainly because nothing else fazed me afterward. Not even the Brainiac body-horror in Justice League. Though, I do wish I had the context for "Out of the Past" when I watched it the first time.
Earth Mover was one of the most tragic things I have ever seen in my entire life. But I want to know what Curare looked like under her mask. We see Batman's reaction, but don't get to see it ourselves.
one that gets me is Annie D to clayface that was nightmare fuel and sad
Just a reminder that Jonathan Crane in Gotham High is a teenager who walks around school with a noose around his neck. There is NOTHING to read into there, as this is for children.
'terry straight up commits murder' good that means Terry's got actual balls unlike bruce he's willing to kill his enemies
The amount of times i jumpd when i saw the joker laughing picture 🤣
If you got the to watch this Saturday mornings as a kid. That was peak childhood. I remember the first time it premiered on tv on WB50 lol 😆 is that still a thing.
What Tracks from Batman Beyond you used in the video ?
Return Of The Joker OST- Main Title
I regret nothing is bro postal dude
