I always wanted to be Batman, or at the very least Bruce Wayne. I can even remember in 3rd grade we had to write down what we wanted to be when we grew up and I wrote down “Crime Fighter” (as I didn’t want people knowing I would be Batman –actually I was too embarassed to admit that I liked Batman that much — I can even remember attempting to make flimsy grappling-hooks out of pencil sharpeners, string, and glue school supplies and using them on the playground. Making a mess.
I just finished watching all the 1999 Batman Beyond series and movie. I haven’t seen this in a decade. Still not as polished as its 1992 predecessor Batman: The Animated Series (aka BTAS — the best cartoon ever made next to Simpsons) that I watched in 3rd grade, but it does have that freshness (think Futurama: fresh to Simpsons, yet still not as polished as the original). This series was made around the time do the evolution premiered and touched on many futurist dilemmas (all of which involve mismanagement of power and technology). I remember loving the intro (it throws you in) and admiring how dark they tried to take the series — every episode ended on such unforgiving, bittersweet, downer notes! 
Shhhway
Even Bruce Wayne became a stubborn lonely troubled old codger forever stuck in the Batman voice who thinks he can’t even eat pheasant-risotto! So many metropocalyptic prognostications in this series: we’re definitely in store for a dark one if things pan out like this in real life. One of my favorite episodes is ‘Hooked Up’ (very similar to 1985′s Twilight Zone Dreams For Sale):
