[RUMOR] Batman TAS sequel in the works for HBO Max

I was so disappointed when i learned that was cancelled. NML is my favorite Batman arc of all time.
They could probably just get Troy Baker, his Joker is basically two inches away from Hamill's:
While this should ultimately be the end goal, I'm not sure you can pull off that big of an ensemble cast or if no where.
Using TAS as a base, however, would be a good way to already have established personalities to work off of (and TNBA already will have done a lot of the work there)
TV is way better today. So is animation. TAS was amazing, but it was also an exception at the time.
With a great showrunner and good writers, this could be amazing.
Don't let nostalgia blind you.
Unless they were to completely retcon out of what Batman Beyond (and 2.0) established, no thanks.
What I mean is ('cause I love Batman Beyond) is how the Bat family completely falls apart, with pretty much no reconciling. I don't want to watch that.

Remove the older robins then, I'd rather they focus on parts of his fam that hardly get the spotlight. Well, they don't need to be removed, just relegated to guests, as they do their own thing.
It has the same voice cast, but practically the entire creative team (other than Spielberg and the theme composer) is different.
And they nailed it.
I actually think having different people is better for long term comebacks like this. I know it's easy to get attached to particular creatives, but it's much more likely they'll be too focused on catching the lightning in the bottle and repeating their old personal success. Animaniacs's new season at no point feels like a retread, or some desperate act to copy old stuff, and I think that's because it has a different creative team.
All you need are people who are passionate for the project and know how to understand the core of the series but keep to doing new stuff in that series.
In that case, I can't wait for Gargoyles to come back.
Also, Boy Meets World came back like ten years too early. (Probably why it failed)
Yes, every show can be good as long as the people involved are talented. I just don't think there's anything about B:TAS that was so lacking that it needs some kind of continuation at the expense of new takes on Batman.

Now if you want a show where everyone who still professes fondness for it has been choked out by nostalgia, here it is.
Yeah, not sure I'm interested. Even TNBA lost some of the magic from the original, and that was at least in the same decade. BTAS works so well because of the landscape it was produced in, as much as the creators themselves; the animation studios they could rely on, the paucity of "serious" superhero adaptations. I can't imagine a revival that gets the job done.
Which isn't to say I wouldn't be into another Timm-headed superhero cartoon - GLTAS was great. Even another one focused on Batman. But I'd leave the DCAU proper dead and buried at this point.

This came out in like 2019 and was in the DCAU iirc—how was it?
It's... ok...
If it means we are getting a sequel to Spider Man Unlimited and an actual finale to the Spider Man TAS series then I am all down for it.
Reprehensive on this since it will 100% try to push more Bruce X Barb while Dick keeps getting bitter
I would like them to do something different from what was already done in past incarnations.
I still want it to be serious but they could craft in different ways from what the old show was like.
For example they could expand on the citizens of Gotham's relationship to Batman. They could have individual episodes set up an individual citizen's preconception of who Batman is and we see a day in their life as Batman and the various rogues influence their life. The b plot for each episode could be a macro level view of this interaction as various leaders discuss and plan how to restructure this city so they don't have a need for Batman or are so corrupt they are trying to get him out of the way or both. Either way all these b plot events could lead to a major season ending set of episodes that focuses on the execution of their plans and how Batman his allies and the villains react to them.

Timm: "[heavy breathing] ... i think it'd further establish bruce and barbara's relationship for him to wear a fake mustache and glasses, and roleplay as her father while they bone [moans softly]"

BTAS is basically my favorite incarnation of Batman at this point, but I'm with others that thinks it's better to do some sort of spiritual successor than attempt to revive it full on to make a sequel. There are a lot of lessons to be learned from what that DCAU did right with Batman and the Justice League, and I would rather they take a long look trying to figure that out rather than attempt to recapture the magic of that era.
Did they do this in TAS? I don't remember that. The killing joke wasn't TAS based was it?
Can't wait for the Harley Quinn fart jokes and Bruce having sex with Barbara
Batman Beyond shows that they were once in a relationship. Timm's always been weird.
Dini is currently writing a comic in that universe so I doubt that lol
Killing Joke might as well be because Bruce Timm had a hand in it.
Bruce Timm is the one who seemingly keeps pushing for Bruce and Barbra to be a thing
This is from the Batman Beyond comic explaining why Dick hates Bruce.
If he is involved, he is gonna push for the "Bruce and Barb get together while cheating on Dick" thing
That fart joke was disgusting and makes me gag just thinking about it.
it didn't even feel true to Batman—Batman should've put on a ventilator mask off-screen, chastise Nightwing for being prepared for anything like he taught him
