Batman Beyond is not "Bruce Wayne / Batman", ergo not Batman.

well bruce wayne is in it and it is a continuation of the batman story, i'm sure he puts on the costume in a couple of episoded if that makes you happy.

Saw it. Gave it 3.5 bats. It was good, entertaining but long, and as Vic said - all over the place.

As we left my 11 year-old said 'That made Iron Man look like 'Blue's Clues'

It doesn't.

BATMAN BEYOND is a lame attempt to try and Manga-nize the Batman, and it is neither visually, thematically or narratively in the BATMAN mythos. It is a futuristic spinoff with a diffferent character (a kid) wearing a different costume, with different powers, fighting different villains for different reasons. That they prop up poor old Bruce as sort of a grumpy old Yoda for the Manga Bat-kid just adds insult to injury. It has no place in the Batman filmography.

Finally saw this tonight. I gave it 4 bats...and I've never been a big Batman fan. Every other Batman movie has bored me, including Batman Begins. But this movie was highly entertaining and Ledger's performance was brilliant.

What Vic said. I gave it 3 bats - it was too long and dragged out... I enjoyed Batman Begins more.

We finally saw this tonight , after an hour I said to my wife that it was dragging but overall I enjoyed it. I think it was at least forty minutes to an hour too long.

The Batman vs Dracula (2005) � animated video / Rino Romano - strange, Italian horror film version of the character

That is a movie spinoff of the second most recent attempt at an ongoing Batman animated series, titled The Batman. Which ran from, IIRC 2004 through this past year.

No relation to the B:TAS/Batman Beyond/JL (as well as Superman) series which were all produced by Bruce Timm, that was a complete reboot by a new production team.

Ditto the new attempt at an animated Batman, called Batman: The Brave & The Bold, taking it's name, and format, from a long running DC comic book series entitled "The Brave And The Bold" in which Batman would often team up with another hero. This started airing this past Fall.

Finally saw this thing last night. Ledger was good. Oscar worthy? Eh. Didn't blow me away. He was certainly good, but the character wore on me a bit toward the end. Bale came across as ball-less and weak.

"rambling and unfocused" = understatement
