While Batman Beyond was a phenomenon upon its release, lauded as one of the best Batman stories told onscreen, the creators never really expanded on it after its initial run. Even 25 years after its debut, Return of the Joker remains its only feature film, which failed to make it big during its DVD release for being too dark for kids.
However, per Bruce Timm’s long-time collaborator Butch Lukic, there were once talks about revisiting Terry McGinnis’ story, but unfortunately, the idea never took off the ground.

“Batman Beyond” takes fans into a Gotham of the future, where Bruce Wayne is not fit anymore to protect the city. He passes down his mantle to Terry McGinnis, a 16-year-old high school student. The 1999 TV Show was a huge hit and fans have since clamored for a cinematic revival of the futuristic Dark Knight.

Few heroes hold the cultural prestige of Batman. The Dark Knight’s persona, pursuit of justice, and iconic silhouette have cemented him as a mainstay in all of fiction. Batman is mostly linked only to Bruce Wayne, the billionaire playboy who dons the cowl by night.

However, the mantle has been passed down in the comics and animations, most notably in the “Batman Beyond” series (1999-2001), which introduced Terry McGinnis as a new Batman in a futuristic Gotham. Fans have long clamored for a movie adaptation of “Batman Beyond,” and a new piece of fan art has ignited renewed excitement.

Batman has always been a character to strike great admiration among fans of the DC Universe. The Caped Crusader has always had a massive fanbase that has followed all versions, regardless of what cape they wear, or if they even wear one. The one variant that sticks out in front of all of the different Bruce Waynes is the character in Batman Beyond, which can be largely credited to the 1999 animated series.

The series became so iconic and the character became so loved that there have been attempts to make an animated feature that introduces him in a completely new light. Patrick Harpin and Yuhki Demers revealed something interesting about the potential project.
It would seem that the pair have been trying to get a Batman Beyond project approved by the higher-ups at DC but have found it difficult to gain footing. This has prompted fans to beg James Gunn,...

Everyone has their Batman, the version of the Caped Crusader that first springs to the forefront of their minds whenever someone utters the name "Bruce Wayne." Typically, your Batman is the one you had as a child first falling in love with the comic book world of Gotham City, and for a generation of people, their Batman was Kevin Conroy. Conroy was the definitive voice of Batman in DC animated television shows, feature films, and video games for over three decades, with many viewing "Batman: The Animated Series" from Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski to be one of the best (if not the best) interpretations of the Dark Knight ever created.
That series concluded in 1995, but spawned numerous spin-offs. One of the most popular and memorable was 1999's "Batman Beyond," a show created and developed by Timm, Paul Dini, and Alan Burnett in a moment of desperation that became the...

Exciting news for Batman fans is buzzing through the grapevine. A stunning new pitch for an animated ‘Batman Beyond’ movie is making rounds, and it’s coming from some pretty big names in animation. The creative force behind this fresh take includes Patrick Harpin, known for ‘My Dad the Bounty Hunter’, and Yuhki Demers, who brought his magic to ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ and its sequel. This dynamic duo has set their sights on bringing the futuristic Gotham to life, and the sneak peeks they’ve shared are nothing short of breathtaking.
For the past six months, Harpin and Demers have been knocking on Warner Bros.’ doors, trying to get the green light for their project. They’ve even reached out to James Gunn, hoping to get his backing. Despite an initial heads-up that a ‘Batman Beyond’ movie was off the table, their persistence seems to be paying off. What...
