Official Score = 1 Devil[/caption]Well so far so good, so far, 'Batman Beyond' is proving itself to be a pretty formidable series... I mean we got to see how Bruce Wayne finally realized that he was, 'as the famous line goes', "To Old For This Shit"... And retired the Dark Knight... Seemingly for good, and how Gotham has begun to fall to the wayside thanks to the loss of Batman... And how just when things were at their bleakest, a young man, whom in a similar situation that Bruce Wayne was in when he decided to pursue the life of, 'Batman', ends up taking over...
Well believe it or not that was a real mouthful... The sad part is, is that the first 2 episodes of this new series were so great, but the next episode just ended up going all, 'children's cartoon' and didn't leave anything for the adults that were just settling in for a fun ride!

It looks like the new, 'Dark Knight' is really struggling with his newest enemy![/caption]What I mean by this, is that this episode, which was called, 'Blackout' and which was written by: Hilary Bader (The New Batman Adventures), Stan Berkowitz (Superman/Batman: Public Enemies), Alan Burnett (The Batman Superman Movie: World's Finest), Paul Dini (Superman), Rich Fogel (Batman Beyond: The Movie), Bob Goodman (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1) & Directed by: Dan Riba (The Super Mario Bros. Super Show). Starring: Will Friedle (Boy Meets World), Kevin Conroy (Tales Of Metropolis), Shannon Kenney (The Invisible Man), Sherman Howard (Casualties Of War), Stockard Channing (Grease) & Lauren Tom (Wall Street).
In this latest episode, it looks like some one is trying to dismantle a technology firm bit by bit... The problem is, is that when the new, 'Batman' (Will Friedle) comes on the case, he discovers that not only is his first case as the new Batman an exciting one, but that the slimy dirt bag that he is following, may actually be a slime based dirt bag!

Batman's latest enemy is one that is a little more slippery the normal![/caption]And as Terry McGinnis, settling down to a new life, both as, 'The Batman' and to try and maintain his old identity as just, 'Terry' is also proving difficult as well... But like all great cases, the old addage, 'sometimes the simplest solution is the best,' may prove out on this one!
In the end, I really just didn't like this episode all that much... Don't get me wrong, the characters, voice over work, and animation were pretty awesome, but in all truth, the big bad that they had for this episode was just really lame!
