Description

When The Joker returns to Gotham City to destroy former Batman Bruce Wayne, a new Dark Knight rescues his mentor and discovers the truth about a seemingly immortal villain. After a 40-year absence, The Joker (Mark Hamill) invades Bruce Wayne's (Kevin Conroy) estate, revealing his knowledge of Wayne's past secret identity. The Joker nearly kills his nemesis, but Batman, alias Terry McGinnis (Will Friedle), Wayne's protégé, saves Wayne's life--for now. Pressured by Terry to divulge the truth, Commissioner Gordon (Angie Harmon) retells the events of the night she witnessed the total annihilation of the psychopathic Joker. So how can the Clown Prince of Crime be alive? Will this inexperienced Batman meet The Joker's challenge? Bruce Wayne's life depends on it in the action-packed animated adventure Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker.

    Even though Terry McGinnis isn't as forceful in the role as Bruce Wayne, this film is his best entry in the Batman coda - easily as good as Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. The series that spawned this gave us an insight into the fates of Barbara Gordon, Lucius Fox, Mr. Freeze, Ra's al Ghul, Talia al Ghul and even (briefly) Bane. But this gives us the fate of the Harlequin of Hate and even his own Harley Quinn with Mark Hamill and Arleen Sorkin reprising their iconic roles! This film is also a nice cross-over between The New Batman Adventures and Batman Beyond explaining how Bruce Wayne became even more withdrawn and why Batman and Robin may never team up again, as well as providing The Joker with a James Bond-style weapon to play with. It also draws the series to an epic close before further revelations about the Batman mantle unfurl in Justice League Unlimited.
  • Great film, great quality

    This really is a great film and there's no need to have seen any of the previous animated versions to enjoy it. The SD picture quality is great too - much better than the TV series - so I wouldn't bother with the HD version unless you're really picky.
  • Best Movie Ever!!!!!!

    I agree with nearly all the other reviews, in that this is a fantastic film. You don't need to have watched the Batman Beyond TV Series to enjoy Return Of The Joker as it's made very accessible to newcomers (although Batman Beyond is also excellent). The main thing i wanted to say in this review is that this itunes version is the uncut version of the film. I spent a long time trying to get hold of this film and ended up buying the brutally edited other version which removes a lot of the darker scenes in the film. I took a risk and bought this version and to my relief it was the originally intended uncut version, which as other reviews say, is pretty dark and mature (which i love) compared to some Batman films., but experlty told. I highly reccomend this for any Batman fan.

    As the last guy says it's mark hamil as the joker which steals the show! Good animation and a good story line, the flashback by barbara gordon is classic.
  • Mark Hamill At His Best!! Best Batman Film ever

    Legendary film. great film ... mark hamill's joker is pyscho and chilling in this movie much more darker than batman the animated series and justice league, Bruxe Wayne has retired terry mcguiness has taken the role of batman, Bruce gets an unexpected suprise at his party a man claiming to be the legendary Joker. this plot is superb its even shows what happened to Robin ( Tim Darke) and Why Bruce has to use a cane. This Film is awsome animation is awsome. i personally think Mark Hamill's Joker is Much more stuck to The Comics i prefer him to heath ledger's no offence to heath even though i like him. there is a couple of suprise especially with harley quinn.
