I have only seen Return of the Joker but am considering watching the Batman Beyond TV show. It seems like a well-reviewed popular show in the fandom. What are people’s spoiler-free impressions of the show?

    I liked it a lot. It’s like a cyberpunk Batman with old master / last gunslinger beats.

    Watched the first season a few weeks ago, it definitely still holds up.

    It’s excellent. Return of the Joker is a highlight, but honestly the whole series is consistently good. You can see the whole creative team confident enough to flex a bit and be free to take chances and experiment a bit with great results. Even the not-as-good episodes were better than most of their contemporary TV.

    Loved it. Probably the most creative version of Batman.

    Thanks for the replies everyone! This is definitely the kind of of information I was looking for and it seems like the show could be up my alley. I’ll track it down and give it a watch. When does Return of the Joker take place chronologically on the show’s timeline?

    Edit: Looks like consensus is to just watch Return of the Joker after watching the show to keep it simple.
