I kinda like this Batman version because he has hi technology than the previous Batman to Batman beyond. Hope they can add other villians to that year Batman 2004. He's my favorite, with that Batwave, he knows what needs to be done to not only save Gotham, but the world and maybe the universe.

The show is very entertaining. I bought the complete series. The issue is that Season 1 Episode 10 Topsy Turvy is missing the second half. I contacted support and they were not helpful. This issue should have been fixed years ago. Edit a year later they still have not fixed the issue with Season 1 Episode 10 Topsy Turvy missing the second half. Never buy any digital content from Google.
