Joyride & Lost Soul

What this episode covers

Get in the car (or in this case the stolen military aircraft), nerds, we’re going Jokering! Then we’re all gonna get blitzed and upload our consciousnesses to the hard drives and hijack some bat suits! That’s right, this week on BATTASS Beyond we’re checking out the Jokerz initiation gone wild and Terry’s first mission with no fancy gadgets in Joy Ride and Lost Soul! Per DCAU Wiki: “Joyride” is the sixteenth episode of Batman Beyond. It depicts the troubles Gotham faces when a group of Jokerz hijack a prototype military vehicle. After finding an abandoned military vehicle, one of the Jokerz, Scab, takes it for a joyride and proceeds to try and take out Batman and a rival gang known as the “T’s”. However, unbeknownst to the gang, its power source is a nuclear reactor and is about to go critical. Now Batman must stop them and shut off the reactor before it explodes and destroys half the city. “Lost Soul” is the fourth episode of the second season of Batman Beyond. It depicts the trouble brought to Gotham when a rogue computer program sweeps Gotham’s computer network. Re-released thirty years later, it enters into Gotham’s computer networks and eventually downloads into the Batsuit, seeking to fulfill his true agenda: a new body. Now Terry must fight his own suit without any powers. We’ve got some hooligans on the run and some digital consciousness shenanigans this week, and one of these episodes is better than the other, but you’ll have to listen to find out which is which! We’ve got some returning voices, and a hint at the Bat-Family of the past, all in all some fun stuff no matter how you shake it. So, put on some facepaint, maybe visit the Joker’s grave, put on an old utility belt and makeshift mask, and join us for another episode of BATTASS Beyond!!
