COMING MONDAY
Smallville set visit, First Looks -- and more!
Warner Home Video has released details and back-package art from Batman Beyond: Season 3, due on DVD on March 20.
Here's how Warner describes the two-disc set:
"Rage and revenge first motivated Terry McGinnis to steal Bruce Wayne's high-tech Batsuit. A greater purpose and a sense of justice kept him waering it. For two years he patrolled street and skies of Gotham City with Bruce Wayne as his guide, but in these final 13 adventures from the Emmy-winning TV Series, Gotham's greatest defender soars as the true hero he is! Though the power-hungry plans of criminals like Inque, The Royal Flush Gang and The Kobra's grow more villainous with each attempt, Terry wipes them out. His heroism doesn't go unnoticed: Superman invites him to join the Justice League. But after years of thinking he had nothing in common with the original Batman, Terry realizes he's just the man for the job."
Special features include a producers panel discussion and favorite moments of the series from the creative team and voice actor Will Friedle.
