BATMAN BEYOND:
THE COMPLETE SERIES

LIMITED EDITION COMPILATION SET! INCLUDES ALL 52 ACTION-PACKED EPISODES
plus THREE NEW BONUS FEATURETTES

WARNER HOME VIDEO TO DISTRIBUTE DVD Set NOV. 23


BURBANK, CA (August 18, 2010) – Warner Bros. Animation’s breakthrough series Batman Beyond comes to DVD for the first time in its entirety. Featuring DC Comics’ iconic hero, Batman, Batman Beyond: The Complete Series presents nearly 20 hours of animated action spread over 52 episodes, as well as all-new bonus featurettes and a 24-page, 8”x 12” collectible booklet. Batman Beyond: The Complete Series will be distributed by Warner Home Video on November 23, 2010 as a nine-disc limited edition DVD set for $99.98 (SRP).

Batman Beyond: The Complete Series centers on Terry McGinnis, an ordinary teenager ... until his father is mysteriously murdered. Suspecting foul play at his father's company, Wayne/Powers Corporation, Terry meets Bruce Wayne and learns of a secret identity hidden for decades. Now too old to don the cape and cowl as Batman, Wayne refuses to help – so Terry does what any brash young kid would do: steal the Bat-suit and take matters into his own hands! Vowing to avenge his father's death, Terry dons the high-tech suit tricked out with jetpacks, a supersensitive microphone and even camouflage capabilities in search of his father's assassin. It’s 52 action-packed episodes following the adventures of the partnership between an ex-crimefighter and his apprentice, starring Will Friedle (Boy Meets World) as Terry McGinnis and, reprising his seminal role, Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series) as Bruce Wayne.

Casting throughout the series’ 52 episodes featured award winners from feature films, primetime television and the Broadway stage – from Paul Winfield, Stockard Channing and Seth Green to
William H. Macy, Wayne Brady and Teri Garr – not to mention George Lazenby (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service), Dan Castellaneta (The Simpsons), Jodi Benson (The Little Mermaid), George Takei (Star Trek) and Henry Rollins (the front man for the rock band, Black Flag).

An all-star production team was headed by executive producer Jean MacCurdy and producers Bruce Timm, Alan Burnett, Glen Murakami and Paul Dini. Writers on the series included Burnett and Dini, as well as Stan Berkowitz, Bob Goodman, Rich Fogel, Hilary Bader and John McCann.

Included in the beautifully custom designed package is a 24-page, 8”x 12” collectible booklet with the inside perspective and artwork from the vaults especially compiled by DC Comics for this release.

Three new bonus features created specifically for the Batman Beyond: The Complete Series are:

TOMORROW KNIGHT: THE BATMAN REBORN
The "Batman Beyond" creative team gives you a peek into the character of Terry McGinnis, and what made him worthy to become the new Caped Crusader.

GOTHAM: CITY OF THE FUTURE
A look at Gotham City, circa 2039, and how the team built a realistic vision of the near future while remaining true to the city they created in Batman: The Animated Series.

THE HIGH TECH HERO
Explore the technology behind the Bat-suit, its amazing powers and the real world science that inspired it.

The collection will also contain the DC 75th anniversary documentary, Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics.

“Batman Beyond was a landmark series as it created altogether new directions for the iconic character, and added dimensions for fans both old and new to the Batman mythology,” said Amit Desai, WHV Vice President of Family, Animation & Sports Marketing. “Warner Home Video is proud to release this important series in an all-encompassing box set, just in time to make a perfect holiday gift for the ultimate fan.”

Because if you wait...good things happen.
 
I loved this show. I loved the movie. I am now very excited.
 
I think I was too young to remember things exactly, but I saw that movie, Return of the Joker, and I fell in love with it! So with that said, I think I'll buy this DVD!
 
I'm just surprised it didn't get one before now. A lot of people really liked that show. Maybe now there's hope for the rest of Gargoyles season 2 and Godzilla, right?

...right?
 
I never really liked the series when it first came out. I'll try and watch it again as I'm sure I should have liked it. If my suspicions are correct and I do like it, it's all thanks to this thread for reminding me of it.
 
Can't wait, I remember I used to have most of the figures cause it was so kick-ass. Was the only one in Elementary school who actually liked it.

Whoa, I remember Batman Beyond! When I was a kid, it was a little scary. At least, one of the trailers was anyways.
 
I've never been a huge Batman fan, nor DC in general, but Batman of the future (as it was called in the UK for some reason) I absolutely loved...I hope there's a UK release! (can't even get the flippin Pokemon episodes over here!)
 
I love that show! My mom and older brother didn't like how skinny Terry was or the fact that Bruce wasn't Batman but it's works. I remember watching it on Kids WB! along with other favorites like Pokemon and Static Shock. Aww man, now I'm getting all nostalgic.
 
Ugh. I guess the show was alright, but pretty much lost all interest when they revealed that Terry was actually Bruce's son. I always thought that was such a bullshit thing to do.
 
That wasn't revealed in the main series, though. I don't think it's really fair to knock a series for a plot point that wasn't introduced until after it had been canceled.

Anyway, I already have all the episodes on DVD already, plus both versions of the movie, so I don't need to pick this set up. Still great for those who didn't pick up the sets the first time they came out, though.
 
I remember this show...well, the beginning and the end at least. Tthe middle is all a blur. The movie was good, but the last episode that took place in the Justice League series (Forgot which one) was kinda lame imo.
