May. 17th, 2006 10:56 amI got the DVD of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (uncensored!) last night. We will definitely have to have a viewing of this, for those familiar with the animated Bat franchise, and those who are not - trust me, you're in for a treat.
I put the commentary track on while I was cleaning. It has about six people on it, including Paul Dini and the director. What's interesting about the commentary was that it was made in 2000 a week before the video's release -- which means it was made before Warner Brothers made them completely change the movie for US release (hence the uncensored comment above). So they are all talking about the questionable content of certain scenes, which I know were later removed, even though they didn't know that would be their fate.
The other amusing bit is at certain points in the movie (those of you who've seen it can probably guess which), Paul Dini, who wrote it, will stop and say, "that's just...wrong. That's so, so wrong." And all the other people there will say, "You're sick, Paul. Seriously. You need professional help."
If that's not enough to make newbies want to watch it, check out the cast: Mark Hammill, Dean Stockwell, Angie Harmon, Melissa Joan Hart, and Michael Rosenbaum doing his Christopher Walken impression. Plus, of course, Kevin Conroy and Will Friedle. Quality stuff.
