Batman Beyond: Earth Mover (1999)
Season 2, Episode 2
10/10
Disturbing, but cool and with a message!

Warning: Spoilers
This is probably one of the most disturbing episodes of Batman Beyond, I must say that considering the fact that the writers made this as a kid-friendly Batman, they didn't shy away from dark themes and disturbing imagery here and there.

An orphaned girls who apparently knows Terry (through Dana, I assume) talks about how she feels like being watched. It turns out she is, but by some kind of earth zombies or something. Terry starts searching for answers and what he discovers is really dark secrets from this girl's past involving her real father.

But the episode is not just dark and disturbing, because Bruce shines her as one of his funniest moments, so the balance is there between the disturbing parts.

And all this ends up conveying a nice environmental message. Not preachy, and thanks again writers for doing that!
