TV-Y7Season 1
Synopsis
Batman Beyond (1999), Season 1 is the cult DC animated series you can watch online on iFILM — thirteen episodes that jump Gotham fifty years into the future. Bruce Wayne is old now, the cape is retired, and fresh gangs own the streets.
Then high-schooler Terry McGinnis stumbles onto the secret under Wayne Manor. His father is murdered, he steals a high-tech Batsuit, and a reluctant Bruce agrees to mentor the kid who took his place. The season builds the new Batman from scratch: an early beating from the shapeshifter Inque, a rampage by a rebuilt Mr. Freeze, the sonic killer Shriek, the hypnotist Spellbinder. Looming over all of it is Derek Powers, the man who took Bruce's company, whose own poisoning slowly mutates him into the glowing horror called Blight.
Bruce Timm and Paul Dini drag their noir Batman into a neon, synthwave future — cyberpunk Gotham, a cockier hero, and Kevin Conroy back as the aging Bruce. This first run lays the show's mythology and earns the hard trick of handing the cowl to someone entirely new. Stream Batman Beyond Season 1 online on iFILM.
