DC unveiled Darwyn Cooke’s animated Batman Beyond short this past weekend, giving fans a long-overdue dose of the fan-favorite Bat-family character. Running nearly one-and-a-half minute in length, the brilliant animated short features Will Friedle and Kevin Conroy reprising their roles of Terry McGinnis and Bruce Wayne and made its debut at Wondercon 2014 in honor of Batman‘s 75th Anniversary.
Fans may recall that Cooke once worked for Warner Bros. Animation and created the stylish title sequence for the original Batman Beyond animated series back in 1999. The animated feature also arrives on the heels of the recently-released Batman: Strange Days short written by Bruce Timm.
April 20 marked the 75th anniversary of Batman’s first appearance in Detective Comics #27 and DC Entertainment recently announced their plans for the celebration, including partnering with thousands of comic retailers, book stores and libraries for an official “Batman Day” on Wednesday, July 23.

The other week we saw "Batman: Strange Days," an animated short celebrating the character's 75th Anniversary and inspired by the classic 1990s "Batman: The Animated Series".
Now, another has been created - this time inspired by the "Batman Beyond" animated series which ran from 1999-2001. Kevin Conroy and Will Friedle reprise their iconic voices for the short which will air after an episode of Teen Titans on Cartoon Network this Wednesday.
Yahoo have released a sneak peek below and it seems the short also pays tribute to various other Batman show from the Adam West era to the post-btas cartoons.

Why Watch? Bruce Timm is one of those people who gets Batman. He’s got a marrow-deep understanding of who the character is, what he’s capable of, and what he evokes. Of course he’s also worked extensively with Batman for two decades. Since this year marks the 75th anniversary of the shadowy hero, Timm has animated a Casablanca-evoking short film that trades on horror classics (Mad Scientist, Monstrous Henchman, Kidnapped Damsel) while turning Batman into Sky Captain with 20% of the pastiche. The details are all important in this swift adventure. The fighting, the determination, the fear. Batman: Strange Days at once feels like it could play after a WWII newsreel and like it belongs firmly in the present. It’s also a nice reminder of why Bruce Wayne’s hometown is called Gotham. Now how about a new short starring Freakazoid? The people demand it. For now, enjoy this new/old Batman adventure. What...

You've got to watch this amazing Batman animated short from producer Bruce Timm. It's called Batman: Strange Days, and it was made in celebration of Batman's 75th anniversary.
The short is described as "a lost tale from Batman's past, the Dark Knight tracks a strange giant to the mysterious lair of Dr. Hugo Strange."
I absolutely love the the 1940s film noir and horror atmosphere that is has. It's actually based on the earliest version of Batman, and they set the story in that era. I also like how Dr. Hugo Strange was used as the villain because he was Batman's first real supervillain in the comics.
This made me really miss Batman: The Animated Series. I would love to see a new series with this setting and style. ...

Batman turns 75 in May. Parent company Warner Bros. plans to celebrate this anniversary by continuing to produce ridiculously successful Batman movies, TV shows, videogames, comic books, and pogs, or whatever kids today play with.
