This movie inspired by the animated series, BATMAN BEYOND, finds Batman facing his greatest adversary The Joker, only problem is that the original Batman, Bruce Wayne already took care of him years ago. So the new Batman, Terry McGinnis has to find out how is this possible and to do that he has to find out what happened only problem is that Bruce doesn't want to talk about it.

In latter-21st-century Gotham City, The Jokerz, a street gang enamored of the city's infamous Clown Prince Of Crime, is breaking into a high-tech engineering plant to steal a powerful generator, a crime stopped by the new Batman (Terry McGuiness) and which puzzles Terry and his mentor, the elderly original Batman Bruce Wayne. The reason for this and other "geek junk" thefts is a mystery even to The Jokerz gang, who are now working for someone claiming to be the original Joker himself. When he makes an appearence at a charity function attended by Bruce Wayne (cover to steal another generator), the Joker taunts Wayne, and later sends his minions to attack Terry McGuiness while he attacks the Batcave. But the original Joker died forty years earlier, and why does this new Joker want high-tech items? When a shaken Barbara Gordon explains the fate of the original Joker, Terry begins to piece the twin mysteries together, culimating in a confrontation with the Joker that literally threatens the very existence of Gotham City.

Bruce Wayne: Hello, Tim.

Tim: Hi, old man.

Sounds interesting. I look forward to it if you do do it.

Maybe there'll be a tape that's always playing near where he's strapped down, a tape of continueous, insane laughter. And maybe some serums of stimulators that speed up his brain and heart so he's overly hyper.

I think I should write a oneshot before I start this, to get the feel of writing. I've also been considering a Slade oneshot that explains his past, exploring Addie shooting his eye out, who Wintergreen was, and how Robin and Terra remind him of his kids, Grant, Jericho, and Rose.

I'm thinking of having a battle between Vlad and Slade, just for you...

Then he grabbed his arm and twisted it as he said, "fighting dirty".

Have you ever seen the deleted scene from the movie? It's the storyboard of a scene where Terry follows Bruce to the old Arkham, and the "operating theatre" where Joker tortured Tim years before. Bruce runs out not noticing that Terry had followed him, and Terry goes in and walks around the place, stopping at roughly the exact point that Joker was shot.

And there's another scene of Jordan Price talking to Bruce about the company. It's barely significant at all.

If you've never seen the PG-13 version, search for it on www.youtube.com.

I think Justice League shows some graphic violence and short bits of torture. It's probably got the highest ratings. Teen Titans has ratings for younger audiences, which explains the very few extremely violent scenes.

But the lowest of the low, in my opinion, is "The Batman", on WBkids. There's hardly any screaming or anything, just punches, kicks, and blasts that never hit anyone.

The most obvious example of this is the episode with Bane. In the comics, Bane snapped Batman's spine, and it was one of the closest times he'd ever come so close to dying. But in the episode on TV, Bane just threw him through a wall, and he woke up five minutes later in the episode.

So, yeah, what Joker did to Tim is right up there with Justice League in terms of extreme violence/torture. That's probably the reason there were two versions; to aim for both levels of the audience, the part that could handle that, and the part that was too young to handle it, and wouldn't mind how chopped up it ended up being.
