A common thread in comics when it comes to a lot of the older superhero origin stories is that there is some sort of accident that causes the person or persons to become the superheroes that they were destined to be!

A great example of this is, 'Daredevil' his origin had him blinded by chemicals, and during this time he also ends up getting his super powers as well...

The reason that I mention this is the latest episode of, 'Batman Beyond' has to do with a similar topic!

Written by: Hilary Bader (Superman), Stan Berkowitz (Justice League: The New Frontier), Alan Burnett (Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm), Paul Dini (The Batman Superman Movie), Rich Fogel (Smurfs), Bob Goodman (Batman: The Dark Knight Part 1), Tom Horn (Psi Factor: Chronicles Of The Paranormal) & Directed by: Butch Lukic (James Bond Jr.). Starring: Will Friedle (Boy Meets World), Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series).

This episode tells the story of how there is some new heroes in town, and they are ready to help Batman end the scourge that has been plaguing Gotham since Bruce Wayne retired, once and for all!

The only problem is, is that these super powered superheroes are not fully trusted, and when the Military ends up reneging and trying to stop these heroes... Well lets just say that it is a quick road to the world of the Super villain!

In the end, this episode is unfortunately nothing special or unique, it is just fun, and if you give it a chance, it may or may not be your favorite episode of the series, but I do think you might find it to be a good time... I know I did!
