Warner Bros. asked for a “teenage Batman” series to push toy sales, and somehow it led to Batman Beyond (1999), a futuristic Gotham noir with an older, broken Bruce Wayne mentoring Terry McGinnis. One of DC’s coolest reinventions.
The final shot of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993). Batman standing alone on the Gotham rooftop as the Bat-Signal cuts through the sky. A perfect closing image for one of the best Batman stories ever told.
