Product Information

Gotham: City of The Future" - A Close-Up Look at Gotham City Circa 2039, the modernization and the inspirations for its high-tech design and massive scale. Audio Commentary on episode "Shriek" by producers Bruce Timm, Alan Burnett, Paul Dini & Glen Murakami, director Curt Geda and writer Stan Berkowitz While Batman: The Animated Series was a huge hit with older teens and adult fans, the WB Network wanted a younger-skewing program able to draw in children aged 6 to 11 as well. Thus was born Batman Beyond, set in a distant future with many new characters no one had ever seen before like Spellbinder and Woof. The High-Tech Hero” (05:44 in SD) – Batman Beyond storytellers discuss the evolution of the new Bat Suit and its futuristic design and capabilities.

All episodes come with adequate 2.0 DTS-HD MA audio. The lossless sound is dominated by a loud and frequently energetic techno/electronic score. A far cry from the austere symphonic scores that highlighted DC’s previous animation, Batman Beyond’s music and score never really worked for me. It’s heard in clear fidelity with substantial top end and slightly narrowed dynamics. All 52 episodes of the series are spread across four BD-50s, encoded in serviceable AVC. Most episodes have been taken from their original surviving elements and presented in their native 1.33 aspect ratio. Banding doesn’t pose a problem.
