Batman Beyond (2014)

A short film Batman Beyond (2014) pays tribute to the 75th anniversary of Batman by drawing inspiration from Darwyn Cooke’s version. The original voice cast from the show is included, along with appearances by robotic batmen from various adaptations such as The New Batman Adventures, The Batman, and Beware the Batman. In addition, iconic versions of Batman portrayed by Michael Keaton, Adam West, and the original comic book iteration from 1939 also make brief cameos.

Terry flies into the Batcave to find Bruce Wayne on the floor, with the computer screen damaged. Concerned, Terry asks about Bruce’s condition, to which Bruce responds that he is just feeling groggy. As they survey the scene, Terry inquires about who could have caused the damage. Bruce admits that it was him. Suddenly, a Batman clone appears and attacks Terry. After a fierce battle, Terry lands a hit on the clone and notices its robotic features reminiscent of a Terminator. Bruce informs Terry that it is not human and instructs him to destroy it. Without hesitation, Terry pulls out a zapper and obliterates the clone as Bruce activates the Batmobile through vocal commands. The powerful engine of the Batmobile eliminates any traces of the clone except for its belt. Later, Terry turns to Bruce and asks who could have sent such a dangerous creation. With disappointment, Bruce reveals that there were more than one Batman clones and they must team up to take them all down.
