![[Live] : ONE FIGHT NIGHT 28 วันนี้!! "พระจันทร์ฉาย vs เอลลิส"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LfImEQqfARc/mqdefault.jpg)
As he's got older, Bruce Timm has turned into Christopher Walken's Max Schreck from Batman Returns.
Thank you for that, you made my night.
Omg you're right!😂👌
Ironic cuz he doesn't like the character.
Mean while Matt Reeves is out here looking like James Gordon 😆
I wondered who he reminded me of when I first saw him like this, and yes, exactly Max Shreck
"There was certain limitations on what we can do, in terms of adult contents."
Good lord he's gonna make Bruce and Barbara go all the way on screen.
💀💀
His obsession with that pairing is way too prevalent. I wish he'd keep it to himself.
@@Nightman221k Barbara was originally created to be a love interest for bruce and her being a love interest for dick instead only started thanks to his show aging her down
@@neighborhoodthreattv Where are you getting that from?
@@neighborhoodthreattv you're misconstruing the origin of Batwoman, and her Batgirl was aimed at making Dick strictly hetero. Babs was made for the 60s show, definitely not as a love interest for Adam West's Batman
Paul Dini MADE Batman The Animated Series iconic, you need him to make this equally iconic.
he also made countdown so I'll think we'll be fine without him
didn't we realize this was bullshit when adventures continue came out?
@@ethanbrackley4480 Alan Burnett said that he was planning to retire soon. WB's relationship with Dini has been a bit rocky.
No he didn’t. It was Timm, Alan Burnett, Eric Randomski that made it what it was. Paul wrote a couple great episodes. But the vision for the show was those 3 guys.
@@MrGittz ye but Paul Dini wrote a lot of the best episodes, more than Timm
I hope Timm doesn't try to force things to be "more adult" when it's unnecessary. If the situation calls for it, fine. But I feel like he could go too far with it (Batman and Harley Quinn, anyone?)
@@mattiesavannahpahl9934 Good point. I think that's for the best.
Watching the animated series, it seriously felt like it was being held back by being aired on WB kids
@@CURTSNIPER You said the name backwards, but okay.
@@shateeqsmith irdc, I never had the channel growing up
@@CURTSNIPER I’m sorry about that. The channel did have some classics, though.
You know after seeing "Batman and Harley Quinn" and "The Killing Joke", I really think you guys need to rethink the whole "Bruce Timm can do whatever he wants policy", because when he doesn't have someone to keep him from going off the rails he definitely WILL.
Yes I agree he's unhinged asf
when I'm looking especially
*Batman & Harley Quinn*
And how he loves to put weird sexual relationship between characters
we never even thought to exist (robin 1v1 Harley)
😓
say it louder
I’m all for “off the rails” Bruce Timm.
I think he's past his prime. Pairing him with JJ Abrams is just a disaster waiting to happen
It's not just content.
It's also tone.
Quite frankly, I think the Burton Batman films (along with the Fleischer Superman) provided a great baseline for tonality in The Animated Series, that Timm largely followed early on (pre-The Adventures of Batman & Robin).
Most of what Timm's made without the Burton films' Noir and Expressionist Tonality (though, obviously, TAS aimed almost completely for the former rather than latter) feels neotonous and embarrasing.
These "adult" Batman animated movies all seem to have less tonal gravity than The Animated Series.
Anytime I see JJ Abrams name attached to an established franchise I love, alarm bells go off in my head lmao. That said I'm looking forward to this
there is also a rumor or they say the truth that J.J abrams will make series and films about the characters of the Justice League dark (hopefully Matt Ryan will be constantine again)
A like jj abrams visual and cinematography
The beauty of BTAS is how they got around the limitations of public television without making it look cheesy , that's what they should do here. Take the show back to the 90's in it's entirety.
@Will N Look, it's not Golden Age Batman unless he has an autogyro, wisecracks constantly in battle, and is incredibly racist.
@Will N Honestly, I've read the early Golden Age Batman stories, and they're not particularly dark. They're pulpy as hell, but the only thing that makes them darker than any given episode of BTAS is that Batman is willing to kill, which isn't really given any weight and is mostly because early-Golden-Age Batman was a lock-stock-and-barrel ripoff of The Shadow. And even that only extends out to to the first year; by the time he had a solo book, he explicitly wasn't a killer anymore. And after that point, you have stories where he fights pirates or goes to Storybook Land, with Robin constantly by his side.
I know that the censors used to drive Tim crazy but I always felt that they were important. Not because of anything morally but because it forced the creators to be more creative. For example when Bat Girl dies, Tim wanted to just show her fall to her death but the censors said no, so what they did was move the perspective inside of Gordon’s car which improved the scene and made a bigger impact. Also the censors didn’t like punching so the creators put a white flash every time someone was punched, which added to the style of the show. I just feel that not getting what you want is the unpopular key to better creativity. Not always but a lot of times
Thank you for this comment, this is exactly what I think.
I agree.
They need to bring in Dini and Burnett to tone down Timm’s weird ideas
Dini and burnett were the primary reason batman the animated series was good to begin with.
What are you talking about? At least back up your slander.
Fat chance, I'm afraid. Timm and Dini cannot stand to be around one another.
After watching Agents Of Smash I doubt it's Timm alone who needs to be controlled or reined down
I'm just a simple guy. All I'm asking for is:
- JJ Abrams to know the answer to his mystery boxes when they show up, so that the story can lead to said answer.
- Bruce Timm to be locked out of the writer's room when Barbara Gordon is involved.
JJ abrams just rips off stuff, luckily he’s probly just gonna rip off the original btas series which was good.
@@kylesawkon4074 I've heard of him described as a story-seller, not a storyteller
@@utubrGaming he’s a hack 100% but almost all his work has potential. He’s got too much help for this to fail imo
Yea fair enough
Why what did he do to make you wary of him? Bruce Timm I mean
I can only say I'm hesitantly optimistic. Honestly, BTAS was generally adult enough. With Abrams and Reeves on board, I can only hope they leave things alone. I would hope for input from more of the BTAS team, as well.
well yeah it was but they had to tip toe around it at times so if anything it is probably more easier to write for
I couldn't care less about Abrams, I don't quite get why he's on this project, except for name recognition.
I'm much more excited to see Bruce Timm onboard, as he was one of the 2 showrunners of the original BTAS. And Matt Reeves, of course, since he's the director of the current The Batman movie. These 2 together, especially after having seen The Batman's trailer, already mean greatness to me !
are you saying BTAS was for adults and what do. they mean caped crusader is more BATS then BATAS
It'll be just like BTAS only with lots of boobs and lens flare
Jar Jar gonna fuck this up too, can't help himself
Bruce timm : ...there was certains limitations on what we can do, in terms of adult contents, in terms of *violence*...
Presenter: ...Batman Caped Crusader will air on *Cartoon Network*...
wtf?
Adult Swim maybe?
Kid Shows Are Quite A Bit Dark Then They Used To Be.
@@skarloey1214 it’s actually the complete opposite. What are you on? You’re the only person that even remotely thinks this.
@@AustinNGrayson What Are You On?
@@AustinNGrayson find a cartoon like Castlevaina or Infinity Train that aired in the 90’s
Hasn't J.J. Abrams destroyed enough franchises?
They had me at first but lost me at Abrams
Because they say that J.J Abrams destroyed great franchises for example in star wars 7 the awakening of the force did an excellent job, it was also fantastic to see Harrison Ford again as they have alone. search and j.j abrams has good reviews in the movies and the others mixed. but the question is = because they say he destroyed big franchises
@cowchipsbotme What ? 🤔
@@ezequielperez2224 It's not exactly coherent. We can sorta parse the meaning but that is some super broken English. Did you get that through Google Translate?
@@ezequielperez2224 I do have information on how it wasn't easy for Episode 9, yet they did their best so even if it's not perfect I would at least appreciate them trying.
After seeing this panel it got me even more excited to see what they're going to do!!
X2
I wonder if they will keep the 1940s aesthetic or if they will use a more modern day aesthetic for Gotham city or maybe combine both
They discuss that at 3:45.
The 40s time area.
@@geoffreylane5606 it's not set in the 40s. Like B:TAS, it will lean heavily on that aesthetic, but it will exist in the "modern day" in a kind of timeless limbo, as if time passed, but a part of Gotham didn't quite catch up.
@@Tyler_W did they ever canonically explained why Gotham had a 1940s aesthetic yet started to adopt more of a modern city aesthetic by the time of Justice League and Batman and Harley quinn
@@hattoripool1533 The changes to Batman The Animated Series when it became The New Batman Adventures were to make it more like the other DCAU shows visually. If I'm not mistaken i heard that in one of the documentaries on BTAS from Warner's youtube channel
I'm still a bit concerned about Jar Jar Abrams being involved
Same here
Why?
@@JohnDoe-qy5eu Because Star Wars
@@starfalchion4404 Yeah, his presence in many DC projects is concerning.
@@JohnDoe-qy5eu mystery boxes
The involvement of Matt Reeves gives me hope this will be great
isnt he the guy also making the batman movie
@@bayek8377 yep he's also making 2 or 3 Shows connecting the batman movie. Lol his whole life seems to be batman right now
@@cngotham4111 batman is a good life
@@ResidentGoodV True that
j.j. Abrams.....I can hear the star wars fans glaring in deep rage......and DC fans saying "Oh GREAT. THIS guy....you gonna fuck this up too?!"
I wish I could fail at as many jobs as he does and still get work.
@@Longshanks1690 Just be the biggest hack in the field and you’ll be there. That or just be good friends with people like Steven Spielberg.
Well, he also killed Star Trek too, sooo yeah.
He didn't ruin Star Wars, Rian Johnson messed up and JJ and to clean up the mess
@@thedarkapex5327 Hack Hack Abrams is still responsible for even giving Rian a platform to do that in the first place.
Bruce Timm and matt reeve? This is going to be the best batman show and having him Adapt and grow his arrsonal is going to be so cool.
Finally Bruce getting some love from live action producers/directors. He should have been a voice in the Snyderverse, you can see the animated universe influence.
This is one of the most anticipated pieces of entertainment coming out. Love the "Strange Days" short and the talent working on this is PHENOMENAL, so everything is in place for this to be ICONIC. I only hope they don't make the show too "edgy" and "mature", as IMO BTAS' restrictions helped incentivise greater creativity, so without restrictions hopefully they don't go overboard and give us something new, without changing the core of the characters too much. *Perfectly Balanced*
I really hope we get some batfamily in this show. Like over the course of the series he picks up Robin, then batgirl, etc. By the final season hes older and has like 25 adopted sidekicks
This show seems like it'll have the problems that a lot of Spider-Man media does, a fixation with his early career. For me personally, I find the characters more interesting later on once they're surrounded by their established cast. Like how many times do we need to see Peter running late for class, how many different ways do we need to see Batman and Gordon gain each other's trust. They stuff is fine to explore in flashbacks and the like, but I'd be lying if I said that that's the most interesting part of their stories to me. Like this seems to come from a mindset of "Batman is so much better as a loner, the rest of the cast water down the character" and to that I say, not really. In fact Batman's on of the few characters who's improved by a costumed supporting cast, because their familial connections give the character more layers. Without it, he's just a frowny guy in a pointy mask who's good at hitting people.
Whilst I agree. I’m not going to lie. I am beyond curious to see the various prototypes to his gadgets. Especially the Batmobile. We got a little bit of that in some movies. But I kind of want to see where he starts out and the various designs he comes up with.
The Batman movie looks like it’s going to show a bit of that as well
Wow! I agree with everything you've said like 1000%! I always find it maddening when everyone talks about "going back to the origins/roots of the character" and treat it like it's a novel concept. I think this is especially true with Spider-Man (as Marvel seems to be consciously avoiding aging up Peter, ever since like the 2000s). Batman, I feel like at least has had some adaptations that depict him already established at the onset (i.e. DCAU Batman, "Brave and the Bold," the Arkham series, etc.), but there are a lot of early years tales. I do think, however, that the design used for this series would infer a solo Batman (given there not even being a Robin during the original, 1939 depiction), so it would seem tricky to fit a Bat-Family into this one. Personally, I feel that's a bit of a shame, 'cause I, too, love those style Batman stories, where he's got a team of sidekicks and "beyond."
@@andrewcozzini8259 I think the thing that could help this show stand out from other “Year One”-type Batman stories is it’s style and tone. They’re not just going back to Batman’s origin, they’re going back to Batman’s earliest comics, and, as Bruce said, leaning heavily into that gothic, noir, German expressionism type of storytelling. If you ask me, it’s been a while since we’ve had a Batman story that feels classical and surreal in that 1930’s/40’s sense.
I never liked Justice League. I like Batman the most when he’s a detective which is what made the original cartoon so successful. They’ll make another Justice League series soon for people who like that Batman rendition more
@@malcolmxpanther bro the batman tas was made even more succesful with the justice league
Let’s hope they at least get Kevin to voice Batman
And Mark Hamill as Joker.
@@stevenpotts2752 facts
If not, Bruce Greenwood would be a good second option.
@@mattboy2313 No , its better is Kevin conroy
I doubt it, both those two have said the retired their roles…. But who knows
I was a bit scared when Bruce said "I get to do what I want to do this time" because of the weird "barbara x bruce" thing that happened in killing joke. I figured after watching some old clips from btas and mystery of the batwoman that timm always secretly shipped barabara and bruce but never got to act on it until killing joke.
No offense to the people working in this but "more batman the animated series than batman the animated series" is the worst elevator pitch I have ever heard. It's a meaningless sentence. I guarantee all the studio executives heard was "batman" and they were like "yeah sure go ahead."
It’s good marketing bro. You’re definitely wrong in this one.
It means that the show will fully embody what one would think of when they hear “Batman: The Animated Series” more than BTAS.
@Mattboy23 exactly in this show they can now fully embody the dark storys and grittiness that B:tad wasn't allowed to because it was for kids in the end so there was a restriction on how far things could go so death had to heavily censored or even thought this was the first animated DC show to allow violence it still had to be toned down. So just think of this as a what B:tas was but know it's allowed to do pretty much anything.
i hope they cast Bruce Greenwood as Batman
Kevin Conroy is still my favourite Batman ever but i think Bruce Greenwood deserve a full series now.
I'm positive JJ will find a way to F this up.
YOU DON'T GET TO JUDGE AND YOU DON'T GET TO TALK
I hope his involvement is limited. He really botches things when he has only minor vested interest in the property and is doing it because he's the reboot king.
I hope Kevin Conroy is Batman in this, or even Roger Craig Smith
I must admit I am cautious about this one. If it turns out well I would be genuinely surprised only time will tell.
Hopefully we’ll get to hear Shirley walkers Batman there again
Just so long as it isn't BATMAN: THE ANIMATED KILLING JOKE.
Just a pet peeve is when people say Bruce Wayne is a fake persona. It just sounds kind of a dopey statement. I think the Bruce at his core who he is when he’s with the Batfamily or Alfred and wants to build a family that lives up to the relationship he felt when he was safe with his mother and father before knowing the cruelty of the world. Just my personal take, I don’t think BT is incorrect or anything. I just kind of feel like that statement is overused.
Agreed. There is a great storyline in the comics where batman decides ti be batman full time and abandon Bruce Wayne completely. What he realizes is that his entire code of ethics came from his family. Batman is a product of Bruce Wayne. When he realizes this is the case he decides to resume his secret identity.
I groaned when I heard that. My only hope is that the insistence that it's a redemption story means that Bruce realizes that kind of thinking was wrong. Just like how Beware the Batman had him go full Batman and that was actually treated as an unhealthy mindset.
Does this mean there a possibility of Rebooted/Timmverse 2.0 ( or 3.0, can't forget the J. Lords)?
If it's more like Batman and Harley Quinn, count me out. I have no issue with introduced variety as well, as long as it's written properly. However I have hope.
JJ Abrams is literally a poison that has ruined or attempted to ruin all my favourite franchises
Pretty excited for this. BTAS was pretty dark already, so I wonder how much further they can take it. Also, I do hope they eventually introduce Robins, and maybe have a small special with other heroes. One of the best things about Batman, I think, is how he is with others and how they change him, usually for the better.
God willing they get Paul Dini and Alan Burnett involved as well
I couldn't care less about Abrams, I don't quite get why he's on this project, except for name recognition.
However, I'm much more excited to see Bruce Timm onboard, as he was one of the 2 showrunners of the original BTAS.
And Matt Reeves, of course, since he's the director of the current The Batman movie.
With these 2 together, especially after having seen The Batman's trailer, already means greatness to me !
Can't wait to see this series.
Also, the previous Dark Knight trilogy had animated shorts from either Japan's (Gotham Knight) or China's (Shanghai Batman) best studios to carry the audience into the movies, like what Disney did for Star Wars Vision recently.
So I guess this time, this whole series will be the animated companion to The Batman ?
His hair has gone fully white. My goodness
he is old duh.
Man, Bruce has aged.
Well yeah he's 60.
Batman: The Animated Series came out 29 years ago. People who were born when BTAS premiered are now as old as Bruce Timm was when he started working on BTAS.
I’m not sure how much of a fan Abrams is of Batman, but his name always gets a project off the ground and of course he goes way back with Matt Reeves who of course directed The Batman and I think is still involved with the Gotham P.D show. James Tucker is a long friend and collaborator with Bruce Timm, but it’s a shame Paul Dini, Alan Burnett, and Glen Murakami aren’t involved, but it’s not terribly surprisingly.
I’m cautious optimistic. Nothing can take away what Bruce Timm did between Batman the Animated Series to Justice League Unlimited. Nowadays he’s more hit or miss with massive lows like The Killing Joke and Batman and Harley Quinn. I don’t know why this series would necessarily need to be darker than the original series especially after some of his more “adult” decisions on the movies I just mentioned. Still there is a lot of talent and a lot of big names so I’m intrigued.
His name hasn't gotten those Portal and Half-Life films off the ground.
Anyone else think that Matt Reeves sounds like Rich Evans?
Lmao
hA hA hA hA hA hAAAAAAAAA
I grew up with BTAS, I absolutely can’t wait for this!
I'd rather have JLU return to be honest but of course I'll watch it!
If they had to make a new Batman show they should have made a new Batman Beyond series. At least bring back Paul Dini to write a new animated movie.
What a shame it’s been cancelled was really looking forward to this
Well...it's not entirely canceled
@@thomasalexanian927 just looking for a new home…….can’t Bruce Wayne find one, he’s got the money. Certainly, Bruce Timm has the talent and let’s face it, this the most anticipated series of all time!
If we could just do away with J.J. Abrams. And not just for Star Wars.
Fr I was so excited until they said JJ was involved....that guy is a menace to quality entertainment.
Run...Run for your life. It's going to blow!
Some people don't understand there hasn't been Batman animated series that aired on cartoon network in years and now it's happening that is freaking exciting let's fucking go
After Batman and Harley Quinn, and the Star Wars sequels, I have little hope for this series
Seeing J.J. Abrams name on a Batman project gives me red flags considering his work streak hasn't been good, this dude took part in destroying Star Wars and he expects us to trust him with Batman.
Wow, I actually had to scroll pretty far down before finding someone from the Fandom Menace making a stupid claim. Maybe we are getting better?
@@jocastadidntknew5980 JJ's movies are really bad. He just copies from the movies he's remaķing and makes them dumber and stupider.
@@shivill2236 because they say that about j.j abrams that his movies are bad, I only saw star wars 7 and there he did excellent
@@ezequielperez2224 No, that movie was also shit.
@@shivill2236 Well, it's your opinion, but I support what J.J Abrams did in star wars 7, whoever says otherwise is a jerk who seems to have not seen the star wars movies.
Glad to hear about a low'tech approach. So tired of Batman being cast as a DC Iron man.
I am very glad that James Tucker is involved in the show.
Oh God I hope and pray it doesn't suck. I really hope they honor the franchise and do a good job.
J.J Abrams keeps on failing upwards. Terrible storyteller and filmmaker.
Well it's a good thing he's just a producer then
Is it just me who’s not too excited for this ? I love Timm and Batman but another Batman animated series showing Bruce starting out in Gotham and earning the trust of Gordon is something we’ve already seen so many times and it kinda bothers me we’re doing that again.
I’d have preferred them working on something new like a WW series (since she’s the one Trinity member without a show of her own) or something else.
Still it sounds good and the 40’s noir aesthetic is pretty cool
its just you.
I agree. I’m kinda seeing a pattern where new interpretations of characters have to take time to familiarize themselves with characters and things we’ve already seen and it kinda gets repetitive, but I’m still excited for this show
It's literally what The Batman and Beware the Batman already did. Why couldn't we just get a continuation of Beware or something? Or that No Man's Land show that James Tucker pitched once. Or a new hero entirely.
JJ Abrams being involved and Paul Dini not being involved are red flags
So……..what’s the update? Being a Batman fan all my life and at 71 ,my one big hope is I’ll be around for this series. The way things look is not so good. Come on Warner Brothers, for once make the right decision and launch this sure fire hit! Please! With sugar on top!
Apparently it's going to be on Amazon Prime.
This all sounds very exciting! Especially a more noir feel to BTAS!
Oh, this makes me SO EXCITED!!!! Can't wait! Especially the 40's Noir feel!
Let me guess: This show is gonna have a TON of mysteries in it, but they either going to solved in an unsatisfying way or they won't be solved at all and will quickly be forgotten in the next episode just like that because it's always been J.J. Abrams's shtick.
Please bring back Mark Hamill as the Joker and Kevin Conroy as Batman.
I’m excited for this show to air!
I hope Bruce himself voices Two-Face! His impression of Richard Moll in "Vs The Fatal Five" was just too cool.
Indeed. I thought it was the same actor!
J. J. Abbrams is here Only Good for Lighting Effect.
The music needs to be as powerful as the 90s series!
I love that they used tracks from the show and that magnificent theme by Walker instead of throwing Elfman's theme all over the place
“There’s no Superman, there’s no Justice League…”
THAAAAANK YOOOOOOOU!!! 😃🤩🥳😎
What a dumb statement, nothing will outdo Batman: The Animated Series and nothing will outdo Batman Beyond as a continuous of the legacy it created.
Barbara Gordon: (chuckles) "I'm in danger"
Bruce Tim and JJ Abrams is concerning enough. But as soon as Tim said "Its more BTAS than BTAS." You know this is gonna be a let down.
Why BTAS is so good is because all those involved wanted just to make good Batman stories.
This sounds like they are trying too hard to capture lighting in a bottle. I wish them well, but overall I feel this will be disappointing.
Yep. LOTS of red flags in the way they are talking about it --- feels like it might be just the artistic styling and look of the original that might be what is the BTAS-ness of it, rather than the thematic direction and story styling that drove the original series. I have concerns that this will be lacking the finesse and artistry that the limitations might have helped create the first time around. Much of the DC animated fare in the more recent years seemed pretty gratuitous compared to the more in depth character explorations of the earlier projects. Hollywood used to be more about telling the story than the formulated-by-the-minute spectacle of action/destruction/fight porn that banks on eye-candy visual thrill rides and shiny explosions to sell as blockbusters now... I knew the BvS movie would be crap when I learned they were already filming scenes before they even had a SCRIPT. This project feels like it might end up being a collage of images assembled to hit certain beats but not having the actual meat of story to feed the imagination...
I really think Jeremy Sisto (of "JL: The New Frontier") would be the ideal voice for this new, period take on Batman! Who's with me?
Kevin conroy!
J.J....
This will NOT be BTAS.
JJ is gonna make Joker be Batman's grandfather
THIS NEW BATMAN CAPED CREWSADER ANIMATED SERIES LOOKS AMAZING LIKE A AMAZING IDEA
JJ understands Bruce/Batman like he understands Luke, a Jedi, a lightsaber and the force ...its like reinventing the Wheel and destroying it
Ah yeah I remember that from any time we’ve ever seen him do Batman
@@dcauwatchtower ahh yeah he understands reinventing an Iconic Character and destroying it, ohh but this is different. Same idiot , new Icon to play with,
@@dcauwatchtower Tell us how well his " contributions" have been received with other Iconic established Characters and based on that how confident and excited you are about his current involvement in this New Series
I am excited to find out literally anything about the show without assuming the worst
No matter what anyone says BTAS and Arkhamverse will always be my definitive Batman experience
Troy Baker as Joker would be truly spiritual succession.
Now THIS is the Batman project I'm looking forward to.
If this show wants to succeed you need to nail the villains in a new way (ala Freeze in BTAS) iconic voice actors (Conroy, Hamill) "Troy Baker for The Joker" and just good stories, similar to BTAS ala Forgotten etc not just all supervillains!
Word on that! Film noir to the max baby
DC has kind of been having trouble. I'm surprised they want to let JJ Abrams (seriously, the guy who didn't have an ending for Lost, the guy who is detested by Star Trek fans for his movies, and don't even get started with Star Wars) to be involved in this at all.
Is it me or does Matt Reeves looks like Jim Gordon with his mustache .
I wonder if Batman: Caped Crusader will be a start of something new, like a DCAU 2.0.
Maybe in a few years, we might have a Superman cartoon, inspired from the Superman TAS. It will set in the same universe as Caped Crusader, but the tone will be more light-hearted.
Lastly, the third series that was originally created by the DCAU team back in the late 90s but got scrapped immediately, is a Wonder Woman cartoon.
With that, the whole set of the Big Three is completed.
A stimulating and exciting video!
As Bruce Timm gets older he looks more like Stan Freberg.
Just give us Bat-Liberty and we'll watch! Gives us Mark Hamill and we'll never leave!
I wish I could show the teams behind all animated Batman, Catwoman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, DC Showcase, series and film animations past and present my ideas for spotlight and solo animated series and films. It’s inspired by the dc main continuity suppose to combine both new earth and prime earth while showing characters from Earth 1, Earth 2, Earth 3 and Earth X
Is it just me or does Bruce Timm look like Max Shreck from Batman Returns
Amazon has it now!
I just wished they made a continuation on Batman Beyond since it never got a proper ending even though the JLU episode forgot the name closed some things
Return of the Joker and Epilogue are Batman Beyond's finales

I was thinking about the DCAU Lore, and realized that, when Dick Grayson graduated and quit as Robin, he was 22 since he was in College, and that started Batman's Lost Years, which presumably during that time Clark became Superman, and Clark is usually around is early 20's when he becomes Superman, so that means that Superman and Dick Grayson are around the same age, Nightwing could very well be older too
Nah, Superman is around 27-30 by the DCAU’s 1999, and Dick is 18-20 in “Robin’s Reckoning” which is likely 1996 or so. It’s kinda close! But Superman’s roughly a decade older.
I would have been worried as soon as i saw the jj abrams Was attached, he dosent have a good track record of adaptive IPs in a good way,
If JJ is working on it then I refuse to watch it until it’s all finished and I know he wasn’t able to ruin all their amazing ideas
Bruce is turning into Max Shreck
"It's More BTAS than BTAS!" - Will it be hand-drawn and painted on cells? If not...then nope.
If he’s voiced by Kevin Conroy imma N U T
Only half of the original creative team, plus JJ Abrams.
Oh no
Too bad that hack JJ Abrams is involved with this. Otherwise it’s something I’d really be looking forward to.
As long as J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves are just the backers and don't have any creative influence, I'm on board. Hopefully they'll take a Steven Spielberg approach and stay out of the animators way. Abrams has a history of ruining franchises and I don't want him to mess up this too. He took Star Trek from me, he took Star Wars, hell... he even tried to take Spider-man. Not Batman! Please, never Batman!
Also, I pray to God they don't go CG (as they were talking about technologies unavailable in the 90s). Another thing to consider was Timm saying more exclusive and diversity. Now I have faith in DCAU presenting these things as they have done so well in previous films and shows, but if you have some studio head (Abrams most likely) popping in to telling writers to add this or that instead of letting them just tell stories with nuance and subtlety we'll have another internet trash fire. People don't like being preached too. I feel that Justice League vs The Fatal Five told a brilliant story about those with disabilities and added diversity without hammering the viewer on the head like they were making propaganda. It was perfect. Story and character first always opens more minds than shouting and calling people bigots.
Well said Christina Lacey
