Cartoon Network has begun advertising Batman Beyond's arrival to Toonami beginning October 1st. Below is an excerpt from the press release:
BATMAN BEYOND [TVY7-FV]
Weekdays, 6:30 p.m. (e/p), starting October 1st
Batman Beyond joins the Toonami action adventure block and transports viewers to a new millennium in which Bruce Wayne is a little too old to carry out the responsibility of being Batman. But Gotham City still needs the assistance of the Caped Crusader, so Bruce Wayne recruits Terry McGinnis, a 17-year-old high school senior with an edgy rebellious nature, to wear the cowl. McGinnis takes over as the "Tomorrow Knight" and is presented with futuristic dilemmas that require new levels of crime fighting. Wayne serves as his mentor and advisor, developing a new high-tech Batsuit and relying upon his years of service to help Terry protect the city from crime.
Though they often clash, their relationship is built upon a foundation of mutual respect. The series also highlights Terry's life as an everyday teen who faces curfews, school work and his friendship with Max, a strong-willed teen-age girl who has become Terry's confidant.
Also, Cartoon Network has announced that the episode "Rebirth Part 1" will air October 1st.
