We just watched Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.

Batman is one of my all-time favorite characters, live action or animated....anyone agree?

I love the drawing style of the cartoon and the batman films, but I'm not really a fan of the original show.
It's so...... camp!

I've actually seen one of the batman cars used in the first film, it's very cool!

Do you mean the old Adam West Batman? With the bright colors and comic book pop-ups. It's funny, I didn't even consider that when I posted the first time. Of course, I used to love it....when I was 10 or so. To me, I guess that show isn't really Batman.

When I think of Batman, the character is brooding, dark, and mysterious; not silly and camp. And the villains are evil and dangerous, not plain laughable. I should have been more careful in my post

Where did you see the Batmobile? They come up with the coolest designs for those.

Keswick in the Lake District, England. There is a car mueseum that has a loads of film/tv cars.

Batman (original tv series and film), Knight Rider, Emma Peel's from the Avengers, The Saints, The Trotter's van from only fools and horses, Mr Beans...... loads!

Was Batman of the Future the new cartoon which is like his son or something?

'Batman of the Future,' I haven't heard of. There's a 'Batman Beyond' that has Bruce Wayne in his mid seventies to eighties, mentoring a new Batman in 17 year old Terry McGinnis.

When I first saw it, I was skeptical, I hated to think of anyone but Bruce Wayne as Batman, but then the show grew on me. A lot of die hard fans don't go for it, but I think it's a great animated show. In fact, I think 'The Return of the Joker,' a Batman Beyond movie, is much better than the last couple of live action movies they've put out.

As good as the cartoons are..... I actually liked the old old TV sitcom with Julie Newmar..... but I can't find reruns of it anywhere....

I really enjoy batman beyond...anything with a futuristic technology twist is appealing to me..
