Play Batman Beyond Online

I picked up Batman Beyond for the Game Boy Color back when it came out, a title published by Ubisoft that fit right in with the handheld's library of action games. It was a time when licensed games often tried to capture the feel of a show without much fuss, and this one was no exception. You step into the high tech suit of Terry McGinnis, the new Batman in a futuristic Gotham, tasked with stopping a gang called the Jokerz from causing city wide chaos.

You control Terry through side scrolling levels, punching and kicking your way through waves of Jokerz members. Your main goal is to fight through each stage, defeat the boss waiting at the end, and clear your name after you are framed for a crime. A couple of things stand out: you can use a grappling hook to reach higher platforms, and your Batsuit lets you glide for short distances to cross wider gaps. The game moves at a brisk pace, but some enemy patterns can make certain sections tricky on a first try. It feels straightforward and action packed, like a quick burst of comic book justice in your hands.
