Review of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000) by Asif K — 19 Oct 2011

This animated movie had a gripping dark and inventive story line. The plot of this movie was so clever that I didn't know what to expect throughout the whole film which in my mind is what makes a great film. Having the Joker be the main focus of the film, and having Mark Hamill play him again was a brilliant choice, and as always he does a fantastic job in the role, and the whole story is very well pulled off. But Mark isn't the only great actor in the film, Will Friedle does a great job as his character of Batman Beyond, and Kevin Conroy returns as the aging Bruce Wayne for this film, and both actors do great jobs. Also the animation and music for this film is incredibly well done, and I would say this is one of the best animated films ever made, but its also one of the most underrated, seeing how noone ever brings it up when engaging in a conversation on superhero films or animated superhero films, which is very sad, I just wish it had more recognition like the Dark knight, or at least Batman Returns, but its a classic none the less.

If you haven't seen this film do yourself a favor and check it out, it is worth it.
