In this pilot film for the
Batman Beyond television series (which aired as a two-part episode), Bruce Wayne (
Kevin Conroy) has become too old for super heroics and has hung up his bat suit for good. However, a young man named Terry McGinnis (
Will Friedle) wants to avenge the death of his father, which he believes was caused by the new head of Wayne Industries. After he does a bit of digging, McGinnis discovers Bruce Wayne's long-held secret and takes Bruce's suit out of mothballs to become the new Batman, with a new complement of high-tech gadgets at his disposal. Boasting a futuristic look inspired by Japanese anime,
Batman Beyond also features appearances from
Stockard Channing as the new Commissioner Gordon and
Teri Garr as Mary McGinnis, Terry's mom.
