Have you ever seen a show that you were so happy with, that you ended up watching the entire series in a couple of days? Well for me, the most recent one that I have found is, 'Batman Beyond' (1999 - 2001)!

It was fun to see where most of the characters ended up at in their story lines, years after most of them could continue to dawn there roles as, 'Batman' or as, 'Robin'... Or even as, 'Batgirl'... But not just that, it was fascinating to see how without superheroes, how Gotham City begins to dive back in to the anarchy that it was in before Bruce Wayne became Batman!

And so far, with Terry McGinnis (Will Friedle) as the new Batman, he has as of yet failed to disappoint as, 'Batman'!
And Episode 4 of Season 1, 'Golem' is another example of this!

In this latest episode, Batman goes face to face with a giant two story tall robot by the name of, 'GLM'... (Or, 'Golem')... Now Golem is a robot that is normally used to aid construction workers, but some one has kidnapped it!

And this kidnapper has decided to bring it closer to home then he would like, when as Terry McGinnis, it has been sent after his High School enemy.

In the end, Batman is going to have to find out who is doing this and stop this person from destroying, 'Terry's' High School enemy!

This episode is a lot of fun, I believe it was inspired by Stephen King's, 'Christine'... And well... Let's put it this way, if you liked the book, then I am pretty sure you will like the episode... I know I did!
