Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker
[IMDB]
Bored on a saturday afternoon, I collapsed in front of the TV to veg out for a while before trying something more energetic, and channel-hopped1 into this, having missed about the first 60 seconds or so. I have a lot of time for Batman: Beyond,2 so I stayed and watched the rest of it - and wasn't disappointed.
( Cracking stuff )
1Whatever can be said for the rest of Channel Five's output (the word "crap" springs to mind, closely followed by the word "cheap") they have shown a consistent trend of scheduling relatively decent stuff in the saturday-early-evening slot. I was never a huge fan of Hercules/Xena (which were regulars there a few years back), but I would have loved them when I was about 8-10 years old, and compared to the bilge being broadcast by the other terrestrial networks, they were high culture.
2Yes, I know us Europeans are supposed to call it "Batman of the Future", but that's a terrible name, so I'm going to use the proper one.
