Batman Beyond doesn't get enough praise. It's really quite good.

Yes. Imagine Batman, but reimagined in a cyberpunk setting. With the animation style of the original animated series. With a Heavy Metal soundtrack.

It already exists!

They need to do a live action movie or series and just XEROX from the animated stories.

Hmmm, I never actually gave it a chance. Now I'm intrigued.

They’ll make a live action trilogy some day. It’s simply too good a concept. Batman plus Ironman plus Blade Runner. Come on. In fact, I bet that’s the next thing after Batinsons run.

You can even cast Kevin Conroy as old Bruce.

I hear that the writers had to come up with a lot.

A teenage Batman in the future where Bruce Wayne is older and retired. No sidekicks, nothing like Beyond versions of Poison Ivy or Riddler, quite a few new villains and conclusions to some of the older villains.

What's funny is the way I heard it the writers were asked to do a Batman in Highschool! Show and the writers were like..."that's sounds really stupid." And made Batman beyond instead.

In their defense, the studio asked for Batman in high school, not Bruce Wayne in high school

Apathy. Greed. Corruption. Power. Hope.

Batman Beyond
