Oh geez, do I have to watch Phantasm again? I just watched this movie (it's on youtube -- check piecharthosen's playlists if you're lazy).

This movie is not bad, but could have been terrible if not for the character motivations. It's an interesting re-imagining of what could have eventually happened to Tim Drake (I'm not sure if this was ever touched upon in the Batman Beyond series as I don't watch it)

Either way, it's not awesome either, but then there have been re imagined batman story lines that were bad (Like Bane in Batman: TAS), so it could have been worse.
