Batman Beyond is undeniably a classic entry into Batman lore. It's unique vision of a futuristic Gotham and the young Terry McGinnis taking on the mantle of the Dark Knight from an aging Bruce Wayne forges an incredible new path for the Caped Crusader, but the thing is... nobody thought it was a good idea. So how did an idea nobody wanted turn into a fan favorite that's just as iconic 20 years later? This is the Inside Story of the unlikely and unwanted origins of the Batman of the Future!

Batman Beyond, Jackie Chan Adventures, Pokemon etc. with 2 bowls of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Saturday mornings as a kid was lit. Classic for sure.

Kevin Conroy: "Oddly, it becomes the most fulfilling relationship he has ever had. Its like a son." Damian Wayne: "Alright, i'm stabbing Terry."

Batman Beyond Proof that you can show what heroes can be like in the future, instead of rebooting the series again.

Batman Beyond needs a video game. It would be like Cyberpunk with Batman. Edit: Thanks for the likes Y'all! Happy New Years!

I love the way Kevin Conroy talks about batman. You can tell how much he genuinely cares about the character.

This is literally one of the best animated shows ever. Perfectly connects to the other shows and I love when Terry teams up with the Justice league and static shock. They just don’t make shows like this anymore.

Batman Beyond was the perfect show for the early 2000s.

Netflix, Amazon Prime, we have two words for you: Batman Beyond.

In original Batman, the suit was an instrument of fear. It frightened villains and concealed Bruce's trauma. In Batman Beyond, the suit was an instrument of growth. It brought out the best in a young wiseass living in a future without honor or heroes. Terry had so much inside of him, and as he came to realize that he just kept growing and getting stronger.

"Teenage Batman" had some of the darkest storylines of the Timmverse.

When you realize we are closer to 2039, when the series takes place than when it came on TV....

Rewatched this series like 3 times, even got my kids watching it. I love batman beyond and I'm glad it was created. I really hope we get to see Terry on the big screen sometime 🙏🏽

I remember when this was first coming out when I was just a little kid. I was pretty skeptical, because in my mind, only Bruce Wayne can be Batman, not some teenager. But man did Terry prove himself to be absolutely worthy of the cowl. Fantastic show.

I’m glad they took a chance on this series. It was such a big part of my childhood, and it influences me as an animator to this day!

The soundtrack to the show is just as incredible.
