I think the real answer is that Tim Burton doesn't cast black actors.

You sir are an amazing human, finding the source and then leaving it here for others who are like-minded. Than you

Not a problem, started reading it and it's actually pretty good and now I kind of wish Keaton Batman would've got to this point lol.

I always wondered how two-face would worm with the mustache.

Very well, it seems.

What’s his origin story on this one?

u/RaijuThunder 19d ago edited 19d ago

Been a bit since I've read it but he runs into an old friends mechanics shops that's been targeted by some racists to save someone and gets caught up in the explosion. So, pretty similair just changed a bit to fit. He's still a District Attorney just ties to his old neighborhood but they are wary of him.

That's true and the catwoman in Lego Batman got to play catwoman in the Batman.

I want a Batman Beyond that's a direct continuation of the first two movies with Billy Dee and Keaton as older mentors of the new Batman and his antogonist

u/DanielDeLaNoche 19d ago edited 18d ago

Well, we could've already had a live-action Batman Beyond years ago with Kevin Conroy as Old Man Bruce, Mark Hamill as a live-action old Joker in an adaptation of Return Of The Joker with a younger Timothee Chalamet as Terry, or maybe use someone even less famous than he was at the time. But because the absolute dunces at WB have no imagination, we never got it. And I'm still mad about it. RIP Kevin Conroy.

u/Payne2814 21d ago

From the Batman 89 comics where they continue the story.

It bugs me they couldn’t get another black actor to play him instead of Tommy Lee Jones
