I'm very pleased with this disc. The VHS version only has the pilot episode, while this DVD has the pilot and four additional episodes. It's really loaded! The picture is sharp, the colors are bright and the audio is crisp and clear. This is superior to the VHS and broadcast versions, in my opinion. Any fan of the series will definitely be pleased with this DVD.

This DVD delivers with an incredible assortment of animation and old Batman sensibilities, fans of the famed "Batman The Animated Series," will feel right at home with the new "Batman Beyond," serial. This DVD shows the awesome pilot episode and four really good episodes. Influenced by Japenese Animation, this new Batman Serial is mesmerizing in it's depiction of Terry and his journey to becoming the new Batman. Batman is given a boost of youthful ambition and Batman is bigger and better than ever in this DVD.

This is something of a rarity. Not only do you get the first two episodes of Batman Beyond, or 'the Movie' as they call it, but you get four more episodes as well. This, is just speaking on the value vs. the VHS version. The VHS version gives you 'The Movie' and that's it. The DVD gives you tons more value, and it has a french language track for those of you who's Primary language is French. Oui? Now. On to the story. Batman Beyond as a whole is a wonderful departure but continuation of the legacy of Batman. We get to see Bruce Wayne, not as the hero, but as a mentor for a new Batman. Set in the future of Gotham City, Bruce Wayne has long since hung up his cowl (although the opening scene has him as Batman but I don't wish to spoil it) and has sit by and watched his own company become corrupt. There are some nice references to the original Animated Series and it ties in beautifully. If you're an Animated Series fan, I HIGHLY recommend this great value on DVD. If you don't have a DVD player, get one instead of buying the VHS version.

It's an interesting development in the timeless Batman story, but tried and true Bat-fans may feel a twinge of resentment at this new and improved batman. Gotham is not as gritty, the stories are a little more elementary, and all in all, kids will love this.

At first I was worried about this new Batman, considering they weren't going to use Dick Greyson or even Tim Drake. However, Terry McGinnis has proven that he is a capable addition to the Bat-Family. The story here shows both an older Bruce Wayne and younger Terry facing the reality that you can never go back to the way things were. For any Bat-Fans, I highly recommend this movie
