      Yeah, they wasted time and money on a Batwoman tv show, a Batgirl movie, and now another CW produced Bat-verse show.
      It’s especially ripe to do, while the Reeves Batman, has the attention of more casual comic book folks.
      That opening with him having to point the gun, is perfect.
      WB and Marvel are wasting time, not having Justice League and Avengers series.
      Each company, could do a series with different characters, like JLU and Avengers: EMH did it.
      I’d rather see a Beyond series, because Terry is the only character who I’ve ever truly accepted as the new Batman.

    One of the most unsettling scenes in that first or second episode is Bruce shutting down the suit, sitting alone in the Batcave listening to Terry get almost get beaten to death. It shows how cold Bruce has gotten, and his conscience does eventually win out, but you could never imagine the OG animated series Batman even considering that.

  • @Gunvillain
    @Gunvillain ปีที่แล้ว +87

    I never noticed until now that, Terry and Bruce really did need each other. Terry needed that mentor figure in his life to help him atone for his past mistakes by helping others. Bruce needed Terry for companionship in his old age where everyone around him is either dead, or has stop talking to him. Great chemistry could be so easily adapted to the big screen. Just to think that the visuals of something like Blade Runner 2049 with the Batman grit to it would be amazing. Terry's teenage anger & willingness to do the right thing is what was so captivating to me when I was a kid. This would be a fresh take on the Batman that we desperately need.

    If Batman Beyond ever gets a live action adaptation then I for one would love a romance between Melanie and Terry. The Catwoman and Batman thing will always be fun to watch but having a reverse version of Selina where she wants to quit the life of crime and would rather live an honest and simple life would be very refreshing in my opinion.

      I would love to see more of their dynamic and development. They understand each other.
      One thing I appreciate so much is that Terry isn't a completely good character. He's snarky and sarcastic and hardened and a bit jaded with that lovely touch of arrogant naivety and still grieving about his dad. He struggles so much, and he's wonderfully layered and complex.
      Same way with Melanie. She's struggling with her own past and darkness, but where Terry is getting pulled deeper in, she's trying to get out. Not to mention her family uses and exploits her and only cares about what benefits she can bring to them.
      I sincerely wish it had ran for at least another two seasons under the same writers and staff and cast. It's a brilliant, underrated show.
      And I hate that they never addressed how Terry technically cheated on Dana with Melanie. Which could have worked if they'd addressed it or placed it the episode where Dana and Terry took that break. Still so much beautiful story to tell.

      They both have such an amazing way of taking a piece of *art* and stripping away the complex mechanics of it, breaking it down past the logical 10-hour-video criticisms, just to reveal the emotion that it presents and incites. The Suicide Squad is "alive", Birds of Prey is "Fantabulous", there is very little as "magical" as that Gameboy Advance start screen when out and about.

    The voice for something like this is never big enough, and everything everyone says is beyond true and has been said for a while, we’ve gotten screwed over not getting a movie twice, but if it comes at the right time it could be AMAZING

    Looking back on this it makes me sad how close we were to getting such a beautifully told story of Batman beyond. The same people that wrote spiderverse pitched a Batman beyond movie to Warner brothers and were rejected, because Warner brothers wanted to make that Minecraft movie which is obviously a failure now. We could’ve had an amazing Batman beyond movie especially with the concept art that was leaked and the small movie that was leaked my god it would’ve been beautiful and fit in perfectly with the world. 😔

    a Batman Beyond movie would be phenomenal, but imagine a Batman Beyond GAME. Maybe made by Rocksteady, maybe not, I don't care who does it as long as it's awesome. Playing as Terry learning the ropes of being a hero and gradually getting stronger as you learn more of Bruce's old skills and apply Terry's own fresh ideas, retelling the iconic stories of the cartoon and a brand new overarching narrative in a world as beautifully dystopian as Cyberpunk 2077, the possibilities are endless

    In my adaption you would Replace Bruce and Make Damian the elder Batman.
    (The anger and edge as an old man will make even more sense. )
    The breaking of the bat family and being the last one remaining would be the most heartbreaking flashback scenes.

    I’d say one of the best scenes is when Bruce tells Terry “The voice said Bruce, that’s not what I call myself in my head.” Telling that he is still the bat inside

  • @SeasideDetective2

    I definitely want to see "Batman Beyond" in film form! But in order for it to be effective, I feel it has to be done by Tim Burton and Michael Keaton. We must go back to where it all began...and see what has changed and what has not.

    We need a movie that nails Bruce’s compassion and empathy that writers always seem to forget about first. I hope it’s in the batman for the DCU. Someone said the reason BMB hasn’t gotten a live action movie yet is because WB hasn’t found a way to successfully translate the unique BMB mask into live action yet. The mask looks like it’s not a mask and Terry’s mouth is naturally part of it. WB can currently only either use CGI which wouldn’t look good enough or turn the mask into the cowl and leave the mouth exposed and use black makeup which is a worse option

    If this FINALLY comea to the screen:
    1. The director of the show needs to be at at the helm.

    Dear HiTop Films, as an actor I cannot express to you simply in words what it would mean to me to be able to fulfill a role like this. Growing up I always thought that Terry McGinnis was a much more interesting and amazing Batman than his predecessor. Not to say that Bruce Wayne doesn’t have his own legacy, but personally I think Batman Beyond was something that had been developed ahead of it’s time. It is a shame to see that it never got the full recognition that it deserves. I hope that one day that changes.

  • @arkwright4354
    @arkwright4354 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I really wanna see a Batman Beyond show today or at least a movie. However, whenever I think about a Batman Beyond movie, I think of what if Jason Todd could be the villain and it’s a version that never let go of the hate of Bruce Wayne letting The Joker live but I have a bad feeling that it would either be a bad that people would hate the plot or it makes no sense for why Jason’s the main antagonist other than "Bruce let me die, why must I suffer”. Blight/Derrick Powers may be the main villain to Terry McGinnis’ Batman Beyond (who was responsible for having Mr.Fix kill Warren McGinnis and triggering Terry’s road to becoming Neo Gotham’s Dark Knight). I hope James Gunn can find the right cast and storytelling. As much as I want a Batman Beyond movie that’s based off the White Knight universe’s version of the character (since Jason Todd appears as a guard in the first issue then as Red Hood). What we also should see is a version of Jason Todd trying to find meaning after Joker’s torture but left him alive without killing him other than finding out Bruce’s identity. I’ll be waiting though for a Batman Beyond movie, no matter how long it takes and if James Gunn can hopefully make it happen

    Golden perspective. In the grand scheme of it u nailed every aspect. The pain the redemption story of a batman who is closer to the people he saves than the man who gave him the suit. The angst of a neo gotham surrounding him while he’s fighting to be a better man, hell even a better batman because of his past, because of his turmoil & because of the things he sees daily that bruce Didn’t from the manor. Man ill even play terry at this point.

    We have been so close to a live action Batman Beyond movie.
    Before the Dark Knight trilogy, I believe Paul Dini had a script for a Batman Beyond movie and it was turned down.
    And then there was one in the works with Michael Keaton before all of the reboot news.
    It has been way to long since we’ve seen our boy Terry.

  • @josephgrace5955

    That opening scene of old Batman crumbling under the weight of having to pick up a gun makes me think of what Alfred said in that crummy Batman & Robin movie- as bad as it was, the line just hits home hard.
    “What is Batman if not an attempt to stop death?” and old man Bruce nearly getting killed in a very casual situation for him really drives that point across
