So here we are, the final season of Batman Beyond (which has some of the best and most overlooked episodes in the series history at times, people love "The Call" so dang much but rarely do I see praise go to the true masterpeice of the season, "Out Of The Past,", an excellent epilouge to Bruce's war with Ra's Al Ghual complete with the ultimate tragic ending. Why it was'nt aired as the finale rather than the abysmal "Unmasked", I will never know)

And then you have the third season of Titans, or "the one without Slade", general consensus in the fandoms for this series label any season without the primary adversary as a waste of time, and some of the episodes really don't help much ("Bethroned" is a royal pain in the butt for long term Marv Wolfman fans like myself, because it takes one of the most emotional Titans storylines, and ends Starfire's relationship with Dick, and turns it into a filler episode that means nothing, it's all self-contained), not to mention Slade's replacement "Brother Blood" was poorly underdeveloped and did'nt stay true to his character for obvious PTC reasons.

That being said, the third season contains some of the best episodes at the same time, "Haunted" is a great reminder of how grim the show can be, "Bunny Raven" is comedic Teen Titans at it's best, and the emotional "Spellbound" and "The Beast Within" are great for BB/Raven 'shippers as their relationship becomes stronger, leading to an unforgettable final scene in "Spellbound" that sort of proves that had Murakami had not been so stubborn in what timeline he was adapting, Slack would have went all the way with them. Indeed his final regular Titans episode had the same ending only the other way around, and the two act like a nagging married couple in the Tokyo movie. One can only wonder how things would have been if Slack had been in complete charge

Yikes, I've yet to pick up TT season 2. Tell me, are they going to reinsert the Punk Rocket episode back into chronological order, or is it just going to remain an extra on the Trouble in Tokyo DVD?

Anyhow, I wasn't a big fan of Cyborg's season. It had it's moments, like Titan's East, though outside Speedy and Aqualad I really didn't like any of the members (Christ, Bumblebee pisses me off).

I won't say it was a "bad" season, it just doesn't compare to the other seasons of the series which were really good (I even prefer the Brotherhood of Evil season over this one).

Kudos for getting Dr. Draken to voice Brother Blood, though.

Read about these from TVShowsOnDVD. Also have Justice League Unlimited Season 2 and The Batman Season 3 coming in the first half of next year.

With Batman Beyond and Justice League Unlimited scheduled for March 20th (or might've been 30th). And Teen Titans and The Batman for April 10th.

Yeah, the JLU season 2 final episode "Epilogue" tied in some of the Cadmus stuff and cleared away a few lingering questions from Batman Beyond. JLU season 2 was intended to be the last season of the series and the grand finale of the Timm/Dini universe, so "Epilogue" was actually an epilogue for the whole universe.

Then JLU season 3 happened.

Of note on that -- the DVDs have Seasons 1 and 2 of JLU's broadcast as the 'Season 1' Set, and Season 3 is what will be on the upcoming 'Season 2' Set.

Ah yes, season three, the one where they decided to celebrate and have some fun with their final project by paying a perfect homage to Superfriends and giving the Legion of Doom the dignity old school fans had LONG craved to see, Batman shot someone to death courtesy of Deadman, the hilarious Luhor/Flash body switch, the "master plan" by Grodd, a risky all-villains episode, and a finale that established some solid closure to Superman: TAS (well, give or take, Lois was'nt used as much in JLU as I thought she would be to at least learn Clark's secret, and poor old Kal-El got screwed over again as Lex vanquished Darksied)

After seeing Terry Mcguiness dominate the finales of JLU, it was great to see the JLU close out their own series for the first time since "Starcrossed"

Yeah, I loved season 3. I wasn't so thrilled that it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger in regards to Lex and Darkseid, but that's about its only folly.

Seeing a badass version of the Legion of Doom was enough for me.

And we got a Flash Rogues episode! Several Teen Titans references! Deadman! Wonder Woman transforming Linda Carter-style!

Season 3 was basically one ginormous fangasm, which is fine with me.
