Ever since X-Men ’97 was revived by Marvel Studios, the superhero landscape has entered into a pseudo-nostalgic era, where audiences have begun to reminisce about the good old days, when animated series were the go-to format for good superhero fiction. Almost immediately, there was a demand to bring back other animated series, not just from Marvel, but other studios that had previously produced great superhero content like Batman Beyond.

The casting and voice director of the show, Andrea Romano, might just have told fans how they could get it if they wished for it enough.

Fans love a good violent Batman movie once in a while, but when a promising animated film gets censored after it proved to be the perfect avenue to channel the grim and grotesque nature of the franchise, it surely was a massive disappointment for the audience.
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker almost gave fans what they wished for, but after a tragic shooting accident that happened in 1999 at the Columbine High School, the media’s portrayal of violence was put in question. This forced Warner Bros to distribute a censored version, while the original cut was released later in 2002.

Batman Beyond remains one of the greatest versions of the Dark Knight, following Terry McGinnis in the city of Neo Gotham, as he is mentored by Bruce Wayne in a cyberpunk setting. The show was unceremoniously canceled, despite its great premise and ratings, in favor of Justice League Unlimited, which also ended the show officially in its episode Epilogue.
Batman Beyond
Bruce Timm, in conversation with Think McFly Think, revealed the original ending that the show was supposed to have, which has a rather Star Wars quality to it. The original ending would also have been a direct-to-video film, much like The Return of the Joker.
The original ending of Batman Beyond was to reveal Bruce Wayne as Terry McGinnis’ biological father

Bruce Timm had a lot to say about Batman Beyond, especially when it came to the ideas about the ending of the show.

The DC Animated Universe wouldn’t be what it is today if it were not for Bruce Timm. The legendary DC icon’s contribution to the tales of Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond is irrefutable. And yet, the artist’s reach can only extend so far in giving the audience hope of a new era of comics and their adaptations.

Crisis On Infinite Earths - Part Three Teaser Features Kevin Conroy's Batman And Mark Hamill's Joker
When we first learned that Warner Bros. Animation was developing a three-part Crisis on Infinite Earths movie, the response from fans was largely positive.
While the Tomorrowverse has been a little hit-or-miss, it's also delivered a lot of very good movies. Needless to say, the prospect of mixing DC characters from that world with so many other animated franchises was undeniably exciting.
Unfortunately, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One and Part Two proved to be mostly underwhelming affairs, with the only noteworthy cameo being Terry McGinnis/Batman Beyond in the second instalment. As exciting as that may sound, he had no more than a couple of lines in the movie and failed to make much of an impact.
There may, however, be a chance the final instalment redeems itself.

Debuted in May 1939, the “Dark Knight” soon took on a coveted status as the “Caped Crusader” of Detective Comics aka DC. Ever since the character has become a central member of the Justice League and appeared in several editions and adaptations with several big-list names helming the live-action version. However, of the many such actors, Kevin Conroy comes off as arguably one of the most cherished ones to play Batman across several performances.
Featuring a distinctive voice, the late American actor has appeared in more than a staggering fifteen movies, close to four hundred television episodes, and even reprised his role in about twenty-four video games. An icon in his arena, Conroy’s iterations of Batman have become synonymous with the gritty and strong tone of speech associated with the character, and here are five of his most memorable such outings.

The legendary Bruce Timm is known for being the creator behind many of DC’s animated offerings. The ‘Timmverse’ saw a new dimension to characters such as Batman, Superman, and the Justice League, with Batman: The Animated Series being one of the most celebrated shows of all time. Timm was quite literally the Godfather of DC animation.
Despite his prowess and Midas touch, the animator was reportedly not too keen on developing one show that went on to become a cult classic. Batman Beyond, which was an original show that was not based on any comic, was reportedly the product of studio interference, which wanted a young, teenage Batman instead of an aging Bruce Wayne.

On the heels of Batman: The Animated Series, a new Dark Knight saga was born out of the pure desperation of a Warner Bros. studio executive. Now, Batman Beyond has become a classic in its own right, forfeiting not only the iconic origin story but also evolving beyond the limitations of what was created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane in the technologically inept era of 1939.

Batman has always been one of the edgier heroes of the DC Universe. His stories usually take a dark turn as he battles through the crime-infested alleys of Gotham. The same was also seen in the Batman Beyond storyline, where his successor, too, faces similar challenges, albeit in a futuristic setting and the old Batman himself as the mentor.

However, it is quite a difficult task to adapt complex and dark storylines as these for young children; the targeted demographic of Warner Bros’ animated content back in the day. Animator Bruce Timm, who grew up idolizing Batman, was the perfect person to create a series on The Dark Knight, which extended into the future as Batman Beyond with Bruce Wayne’s protege Terry McGinnis. Timm would also go on to make several animated films for DC, one of them being the controversial Batman Beyond: Return of The Joker.

While there has been no shortage of Batman in the realm of live-action, we’re still due for a live-action adaptation of one of the most influential Batman stories of all time.

Despite being decades old, the series still remains beloved by the fandom, and fans were ecstatic when it was rumored that a live-action adaptation with Michael Keaton might be heading our way. Even though it is no longer the case, Timm felt Keaton was perfect to play the part.

From Tim Burton’s blockbuster films to the 1992 show Batman: The Animated Series, the Caped Crusader witnessed several curves to its character and storyline.

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.

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.

The superhero comic books of Marvel and DC use a static timeline, where no characters permanently age. That's what makes "Batman Beyond" so unique; following in the thematic footsteps of "The Dark Knight Returns," the show depicted a Bruce Wayne who'd aged out of the cowl. In his place, he trained teenage Terry McGinnis as the new Dark Knight. The film "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker" even provided a definite end for "Batman: The Animated Series," showing via flashback the final battle between the original Batman and the Joker; the latter abducts Robin (Tim Drake) and tortures/brainwashes him into "Joker Junior." Tim ultimately snaps and kills the Joker with his own spear gun.
However, the next DC Animated Universe series, "Justice League"/"Justice League Unlimited," went back to the "present"/contemporary era. This left the creators constrained by what they established in "Batman Beyond" — or did it?

The result of this attempt to cash in on the success of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was "Batman Beyond." Set in the far future, an elderly Bruce Wayne mentors the new Batman — teenager Terry McGinnis — in cyberpunk Neo Gotham.
The late Kevin Conroy reprised his role as Bruce while Terry was voiced by Will Friedle. At the time, Friedle was best known for his role in the sitcom "Boy Meets World." However, "Batman Beyond" shaped his career trajectory. Instead of remaining a sitcom actor, Friedle became mostly a voice actor in action cartoons.

Everyone knows the deal with 1997's "Batman & Robin" by now. We don't need to rehash the abject disappointment that accompanied its release and its legacy of having nearly killed off the Batman franchise — though, that might be fun ... but let's focus, here. In the wake of Joel Schumacher's second and final Batman movie, Warner Bros. was sent scrambling, lurching from one attempt to reboot the Dark Knight to another.
This went on for some years, with multiple projects being considered and developed before being scrapped. One such project, "Batman: DarKnight," would have been the complete opposite to "Batman & Robin," telling a dark tale that would see Dick Grayson used as a test subject in Dr. Jonathan Crane, Aka Scarecrow's twisted experiments. Of course, we all know how the story plays out, with Warners nixing that movie in favor of Christopher Nolan's origin tale "Batman Begins.

After the runaway success of Tim Burton's "Batman" in 1989, Batman media began to proliferate throughout the landscape. The film sold a massive amount of toys and t-shirts, not to mention many, many copies of Prince's soundtrack record. Imitators immediately started appearing in theaters, with Warren Beatty's "Dick Tracy" being the highest-profile example. A sequel, "Batman Returns," was released in June 1992, and the following September saw the debut of "Batman: The Animated Series," a celebrated TV show that cribbed a lot of its attitudes and aesthetics from Burton's films. Those who were hovering around age 12 in 1992 likely have nothing but effusive things to say about "Batman: The Animated Series," given its shadowy look and intense stories. Late voice actor Kevin Conroy, for many, holds the standard for Caped Crusader performances.
"The Animated Series" ended its run in 1995 but spawned several spin-offs from the same production team, led by celebrity animator Bruce Timm.

It’s been over two decades since Batman Beyond ended as an animated series and the need for a live-action feature film is still vital for the DC Universe. The series focused on Terry McGinnis, a high school student who takes over the role as Batman under the supervision of a broken and beaten Bruce Wayne. The short lived series was highly acclaimed by fans and critics alike, with the show even collecting a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Class Program. Since the end of the animated series, fans have been clamoring for a live-action movie and it almost came
