What happens

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (also known as Batman of the Future: Return of the Joker in some territories) is a 2000 American direct-to-video animated superhero film produced by Warner Bros. Family Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation and distributed by Warner Home Video. It is the third film in the DC Animated Universe and is based on the animated series Batman Beyond, taking place after its third & final season. The film features the original Batman, Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy), and his successor, Terry McGinnis (Will Friedle), as they try to unravel the mysterious seeming return of the former's archenemy, The Joker (Mark Hamill). The film was heavily edited and censored following the 1999 Columbine High School massacre and WB's objection to its content, causing its release to be delayed from Halloween 2000 to December 12, 2000. Subsequently, the PG-13-rated "Original, Uncut Version" was released on DVD on April 23, 2002. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
