I like mask of the phantasm myself. That bruce wayne grave scene is one of my fav batman scenes ever. I actually saw that in the movie theater.
Batman beyond suffered from weaker villains by comparison but God if the concept isn't cool. And also Terry was a great batman.
I would kill for someone to take another crack at it.

i cant believe Beyond hasnt gotten some kind of live action treatment yet. I mean cyberpunk batman?? come on. It's every WB producer's wet dream
Great show but the villains aren't nearly as good. Almost all of the best episodes use or reference classic villains. So does the movie.
Spider-Man 2099 has the same problem. Spider-Man and Batman have such great rogue galleries, they are long shadows to stand in

My favorite Batman. I'm so happy Injustice 1/2 and Batman Arkham 1/2/3 still have a Beyond costume to use.
This series needs a season 4 and a live action movie! Would be fucking awesome to see a young Batman in Cyberpunk Gotham.

Yep. Everything even the intro credits of Mask of the Phantasm is so good.
Batman Beyond has an excellent first season with an overarching arc with Powers. Unfortunately, the next two seasons become episodic and a little more highschool-ish. There's still some pretty great episodes and it's usually a fun watch, but unlike B:TAS the villains weren't compelling enough to support it's episodic structure.
Return of the Joker is pretty awesome though.
It's on HBO max now if you have that.
Went to look up this film in hbo max and its only in spanish audio lol
I'm really surprised the Arrowverse never attempted to do a Batman Beyond show. I mean, it would have been ripe for the taking as a lot of the limitations set on the Batman franchise wouldn't really be in place as BB mostly had original villains and characters.
I'm concerned Warner Bros would be afraid to make a live action film as cyberpunk seems more miss than hit. Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, Battle Angel all did rather poorly.
They expect Batman to make 1 billion +

Nailed it
Most of his rogues were great but only appeared 3 times. Like Blight vanished after the first season
You can tell WB was also trying to make the show more kid friendly post season 1 with the inclusion of Max, with more stories in his highschool instead of corporate espionage.
It's telling that in Return of the Joker when the producers had free reign, Max is entirely absent. The writers have said they never liked her much.
I don't think Batman Beyond 1 would be expected to make a billion dollars. But if it gets traction and Batman Beyond 2 makes a billion dollars...then they have two billion dollar Batman characters.
It's also one of the only ways making two Batman trilogies at once makes sense to me.
Great video, I never really thought about the behind the scenes of what caused this show to be created and it's kinda great to hear it basically got created out of unreasonable external demands and the team making the best out of what they had to work with.
Now that I think of it I don't even think I've ever watched all of the previous Batman cartoons or the Superman one but Batman Beyond is definitely one I greatly enjoy. It's just such a great way to make something new that seems approachable while keeping everything that was built before it in a respectable way.

The best they could've done was one of those one off crossover episodes. Making BB would've required a truly hilarious amount of CG for outdoor scenes and very unique indoor sets. Maybe you can do it when the sound stages they use to make The Mandalorian become more prevalent but in today's word you couldn't make that show on a Arrowverse budget.
Yes, though I'm sure fans would disagree.
The storytelling is a little different in regards to the original B:TAS (it's more fantastical whereas B:TAS strayed away from that) but the episodes are still quality. The redesigns are generally good barring a few like Joker, and the animation is more fluid.
The Justice League are nothing if they don't survive the Near Apocalypse of Whenever
I'm torn on BB's premise

Half the writers hated her but the others liked her like Alan Burnett.
He had some really good villains that were twist on classic Batman villain dynamics. Like Melanie/Ten was a really cool take on the dating Catwoman dynamic. Too bad she wasn't fully utilized to her potential but like most people said it happened to most of his villains.
A Batman: Arkham Beyond game would be so sick.
It ranges from okay to having some of the coolest episodes in all of the DCAU with stuff like Mad Love and Over the Edge
The Baby Doll introduction episode was great as well, up there with the best of BTAS.
I've worked with hectic schedules on several productions in the past, but developing a 13-episode animated series (without piggybacking on existing material) and to pump out 20-30 page scripts, production artwork, the whole she-bang in less than a year sounds like crazy talk.
Wouldn't I give to watch a creator roundtable to hear the stories behind this series production.

The heart of the show is literally the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Terry. It wouldn't work otherwise.
They were going to and it was very close to happening in 2001.
Script and everything was done, WB paused for some adjustments in the meantime someone pitched them an adaptation "Batman: Year One" which had a few iterations then Nolan came in and got absolute control and made Begins.
WB was desperate after Batman & Robin, the Year One pitch sounded safer and cheaper so they jumped on that the second a legitimate pitch came in.
I recently got the Blu-Ray box set for cheap, and it still holds up. I'm happy I picked up 'Return of the Joker' as well, and seeing TMS at their peak was a treat to watch.
One of the GOAT animation shows.
The Shriek episodes were so good.
The villains in this show get fucked up.

That's pretty cool. I was thinking of getting the blue ray set but never bit the the bullet.
The Terry/Bruce dynamics were a breath of fresh air for the story and I think added something that was never going to be achieved with a new Robin. Even the small things like Bruce making some food for Terry was such an interesting change from how he had been shown before.
It's worth getting, as unlike the first time around with the Blu-Ray for Batman: The Animated Series, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment have did a splendid job with transferring/restoring the old film to a higher resolution format.
Do you remember the villains Sneak Peek or Bullwhip? Now they are the definition of a villain getting fucked up.
I don't think think they could feature a Batman, even if it wasn't Bruce.
