At least 40 years after the "current" adventures of Batman and 20 years after Bruce Wayne retired from the role, his secret is discovered by troubled teen Terry McGinnis. After McGinnis' father is murdered by the man who took over Bruce Wayne's company, McGinnis dons a high-tech Bat suit that Wayne last used, creating a new hero for a future Gotham.
Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman is in his 50's and has created the ultimate Batsuit but is no longer fully able to do the job so places the suit away and vows to never use it. Several years later and into the next century there's a new breed of criminal terrorizing Gotham City but Bruce has kept his vow. Terry McGinnis, a teenager whose father was killed because he was going to expose criminal activities at the company that he works for which just happens to be Wayne Enterprises. Terry comes across Bruce as he was being beaten by some thugs, he takes him to the mansion and he discovers the Batcave and the Batsuit; he takes the suit to get the people who killed his father. Afterwards Bruce decides to make him the new Batman and train him.

Watch "Batman Beyond"
I kind of liked Batman Beyond a little better than Batman: The Animated
Series. I also liked the really cool new Batman costume! It was a shame
that my favorite Batman villain, Poison Ivy wasn't in this cartoon. She
was my favorite because I had this huge crush on her! This series
starts off in the future days of Gotham City where Bruce Wayne was
retired and created this high-tech batman suit which was the last
superhero suit he ever used. Terry McGinnis, a teenager whose father
was killed because he was going to expose criminal activities at the
company that he works for which just happens to be Wayne Enterprises.
So then when Terry and Bruce meet with each other, Bruce trains him to
become the new Batman! This show was really cool and had a lot of
episodes. I wish another show that was like this, Spider-Man: Unlimited
had the same number of episodes as this show did. I remember when this
show first aired on Kids WB in early 1999 and then after it was
canceled off of Kids WB, then Cartoon Network picked it up after Kids
WB canceled it and showed reruns for a while and then canceled it
again. I thought it was really cool with the new Batman costume and
having a teenaged Batman do all the crime fighting and we also get to
see a returning Batman villain, The Joker. Another villain I liked who
I had a crush on was Inque. The action in this show was pretty neat and
same with the animation! Pretty cool overall.
