I loved Batman Beyond It was a cool Original DC Animated series that expanded the Batman mythology and had a cool concept i only wish it had another season to finish the series hopefully one day Warner Bros. Animation would explore the series and it characters again

Batman Beyond really doesn't get the credit it deserves. Yes, I know, Bruce Wayne isn't Batman in this Series, but I think that's part of what makes it so unique- it takes a new approach and tries something different, rather than retelling a similar story with the same protagonist, and I like that it wasn't afraid to explore a new horizon like that.
It starts out with a futuristic Gotham, which is a tech wasteland and the youth have run amok, and Terry McGinnis (our main protagonist) is a former juvenile delinquent turned reformed teenager at the start of the Series. During a fight with Jokerz, Terry was saved by Bruce Wayne, who was the former Batman. Then, Terry seem an opportunity to avenge his father Warren's death, who was killed trying to reveal the truth behind Derek Powers' nerve gas, that could kill people with enough exposure to it. Upon Terry successful avenging his father's death, the former batman Bruce Wayne eventually comes to see McGinnis as a worthy successor, and he becomes the new Batman.
This show, from that point on, manages to maintain a meaningful, yet dark, atmosphere (the return of Mr. Freeze/Victor Fries before his final death, being able to redeem himself by doing some good before he meets his end), while also not shying away from incorporating comedy at times (a good example being the Bum on the train the Stalker confuses for Terry while trying to challenge him in a later episode): the Series never beats around the bush, and that's what makes it stand out to me.

One of the first TV Shows about Batman I watched and it is still good now.

Young Justice animation and Under the Red Hood rating and this show would make an awsome remake.

Another thing I really love about the show is the art direction.
