Review of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000) by Robert I — 19 Jan 2013
The Joker: I'm ready to give this old town a wedgie again.
'Some clowns were never funny, some villians you never forget, and some heroes will never back down.'.
Wow. What a film. Its stylish, creepy, and brilliant. As the first animated Batman film to gain a PG-13, Return of the Joker brought forth a new era of animated films and set the bar for films like Gotham Knight, Batman vs Dracula, Under the Red Hood. It gives us a look at the final encounter between the original Batman and the Joker, along with a chilling secret involving Robin, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hammil are magical as their respective characters and Will Friedle is good as Terry McGiness/New Batman.
Its hard to tell which I like better, Return of the Joker or Mask of the Phantasm. I'll have to watch them again to know for sure. But all I know is: Batman Beyond Return of the Joker is a terrific and chilling look into the battle between Batman and Joker. Be sure to check it out.
