Plot: After decades of fighting crime, Bruce Wayne can no longer act as the famous vigilante. Shortly after he retires, though, a troubled high school student sparks a series of events leading to a change. Terry Mcginnis, a former delinquent, becomes the new batman. Under the tutalage of his predecessor, Terry learns to find and fight crime, although he maintains his own personality. The mix of old methods and unjaded vision allow him to counter new threats and returning villains.
Genre: Animation, Television, Action
Reading Level: While the series avoids gore, many of the episodes address death, social issues, and loss in a manner unsuitable for sensitive viewers.
Similar Titles: Batman the Animated Series, Superman the Animated Series
Personal Thoughts: The title, much like Batman the Animated Series, mixes character development, action, and realistic concerns to produce a highly acclaimed television show. Some of the impact came from addressing current concerns, such as genetic modification, environmental issues, rising levels of divorce, steroid usage in sports, and teen peer pressure in a futuristic setting. However, the realism also produced some very dark episodes with graphic, but not gory, results. It also had fewer "lighter" episodes than Batman the Animated Series did. As a result, the series may be inappropriate for younger viewers. Please understand viewers' sensitivities before recommending.
