Critic Reviews

Rob Vaux, Flipside Movie Emporium
It takes the Batman mythos in an original new direction, while still remaining true to the comics.
Ryan Cracknell, Apollo Guide
Goes beyond the typical slapstick of Saturday morning cartoons and deals with real issues of high school students.

An amazing start to a new story in the Batman Animated universe. The futuristic landscape and bizarre characters blend well with the style of Batman. Terry McGinnis is a great character and certainly worthy to be called Batman.

Very not bad. I liked it a lot.

I like the idea of the passing of the torch and they made an interesting show out of it as well. The character of Terry became it's own after a while and that shows that it was well written if people were willing to let this new guy replace the Batman they had all grown up with. Having Bruce Wayne stick around as the guy who guides the new Batman was a good idea. Even though he was old and couldn't get out on the streets anymore doesn't mean he wouldn't find another way to fight crime in his city.

Not as good as its originating series Batman:TAS but still decent.
