Rocky Reuben so the producers moved on to Justice league and then wbkids no longer existed so the rights go to cartoon network (a sister company ) and well people don't like giving there rights to other companies
I mean it works perfectly for a teenage Batman. It’s edgy and possibly fitting for music at that age…even though I was vibing to this when I was 9 lol.
I love how the word "Hope" appears right after Terry's face was shown then the word "Justice" is shown right before old Bruce's face is shown. It felt very right.
I noticed that too. A perfect intro without a single word being uttered. The graphics and words on screen hit right. Told you all you needed to know and then some.
Message of this intro: Apathy, greed, corruption, power will still exist in the future, but so will hope, courage, honor and justice, and so will Batman.
I'm thirteen and I don't even watch tv anymore! XD too attached to these interesting old shows (DC in general) Batman tas is my fav :D and considering I'm not the only thirteen year old like this and even before I preferred the original transformers shows over the other transformers show (that's not to say I didn't like them)
I'm fifteen and I grew up with these cartoons but probably because I liked super heroes and still do but at least I picked series that were good like batman beyond, batman the animated series, Spider-Man the animated series, and more.
JumperSC I'm 13, I grew up with these video games: Inspector Gadget for the SNES, Donkey Kong Country, and Super Mario World. For TV shows I grew up with Batman Beyond, Spiderman the Animated Series and Boohbah's.
***** You'd never see anything worthwhile on CN nowdays.. CARTOON NETWORK was the shit tho.. it had it all the best of the best Marvel/DC/Anime&Cartoon Cartoons.
***** yup batman tas, batman beyond, superman tas, dragonball z, the mask, justic league unlimited.... What happened cartoon network ;_;. Today we have repetitive episodes of amazing world of gumball and teen titans go
I have finally found someone to relate to. This used to be the SHEIT, none of these cartoons are good anymore. Nowadays kids will be brainwashed into thinking making jokes all the time and never doing anything to show morality or beat the bad guys is apart of superhero shows.
What made this series so wonderful is how it wasnt afraid to be really intense. It was shamelessly dark and subtle in how disturbed it was portraying an "pseudo-apocalyptic" society. It knew what it wanted to accomplish, and it did so very well. It wanted to push the Batman franchise to a level of morbidness and depression that was well beyond the typical hero; the person taking on the role of "dark knight" is no longer an immensely experienced nor particularly-intelligent individual - which expresses the drastic reversal of the series - yet this person handles a futuristic city with morals far more decayed and "real" than what the franchise normally portrays the already-dark Gotham to be. What I personally loved so much about this series is how brave it was. It really took a risk removing Bruce Wayne as the direct protagonist and putting in Terry as the new Batman, especially considering how drastically the tone and setting changed as well. It was a big leap, but it turned out fantastically.
gagejoseph91 lmfao, I think that is their way of saying that you, without fail, brilliantly described the show, setting and main idea! So Kudos and Well-done!
Last year, I re-watched all 52 episodes. While, I got things that flew over my head as a kid (because I was a kid), Batman Beyond is even better than I remembered. It's funny but badass at the same time. They need to make it into a MOVIE!.
I tink its time dc make a batman beyond movie specially right now since they are trying to build a cinematic universe of their own and he could add certain element in dc cinematic that marvel don't have legacy the hero left for futur generation showing hero getting old they can either make it a live action serie set 50 yr in the futur (to me that would be much better choice then the gotham serie in developpement) and then link it to the cinematic universe which is set in the present days
I want a Batman Beyond game set in the Arkhamverse made by Rocksteady, the company behind the Arkham games. William Friedle returning to voice Terry McGinnis/Batman and Kevin Conroy as an old Bruce Wayne.
richarson mirien Well it's already a comic reintroducing Bat Beyond as the main character in a even more plot twisted future......the movie should also be coming out sometime in the upcoming months
Raptor There is already an animated movie for Batman Beyond. It was bad ass but also scary/creepy. The movie's name is Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. It came out in 2000.
MyHeroMacadamiaNuts I think he's talking about how dark this show was. And how people today would be signing petitions to remove this show for being too "Dark".
WB Execs: Hey, we want a Buffy-esque teenage Batman for the kids! Bruce Timm: Alright. And we got jellyfied civilians, irradiated CEOs, fathers buried alive, fathers in their daughter's body, drugged up teens and drug dealers, falling to the center of the Earth, fucked-up body modification, extreme isolation mind-numbing prisons, MAD STAN, Joker-ized Tim and people dying from space lasers. You know, for the kids.
Batman Beyond was one of the shows that you just cant ever replicate...certainly with what they're putting out today. I love my generation and the cartoons I had, the memories I can share that kids today can't. The 90s will always be the greatest decade in the history of humanity to me.
Same with me, I'm glad I'm a 90's kid. Cartoons were so much better then, sure there are some shows now that I love but nothing beats the 90's. I wish this show had ran longer!
i loved this show, it aired on kids wb alot and i had the vhs tape with spellbinder and let me tell you spellbinder's effect on the bride with the insects scared me even spellbinder suit looks like a twisted nightmare demon
It's all a matter of opinion. Although I do agree, it's still an opinion... And I think this is the best decade. My decade babbyyyy. Jk, my generation is screwed. And it's not even our fault.
+Ashraf Anam But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient, chemical X. and now you read his above comment in the narrator's voice, hahaha.
badflamer KRAKOOOOM! Thus the Power Puff Girls were born. Using their ultra super powers, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup have dedicated their lives to fighting crime and the forces of evilll.
+Marvel fan last i checked it was on netflix. im sure all the episodes are uploaded somewhere to watch but if you cant find them anywhere netflix is fairly cheap so you could get it for a month and watch a ton of great older shows lol. unless its not on netflix anymore... id check that first. was interesting to see how much stuff has changed since the original animated batman to batman beyond and with some nice nods to the original i believe
We were TOTALLY spoiled as kids with the old school Cartoon Network shows. I remember how intense this intro was for me as a kid. It made me feel uneasy, yet very intrigued. This show had EVERYTHING modern cartoons lack - intense action, a plot that creates tension and keeps you hooked, great character writing and even some brutal scenarios. Sure, it may have crossed some lines as a kids cartoon, but that's what made it special - it wanted to reflect a dark world, with a young hero caught in its chaos and pushing through its terrors. I'll forever cherish cartoons that didn't avoid being more "explicit" or "violent" simply because there's a younger audience, because they eventually grow to love it for what it offers.
Damn, that intro really is something isn't it!? Not just the wonderful music but the visuals capture the essence of the show so well. A dark, gritty, political, neo-noir style. Seriously, you can tell a show like this wouldn't be made for kids today!! O_O
lol every time a shows stops airing people always say "WHY IT GET CANCELED???" 1) usually a show just ends 2) all shows have to end eventually 3) would you rather it end while its good or continue on and become terrible, destroying its legacy?(then it really WILL get canceled😂)
Funny story, THIS was how I was first introduced to Batman. I still remember getting the impression EVEN HERE, that old man Wayne was a badass when he was younger. I remember wanting to see what he was like when he was younger...
You and I are probably close to the same age then. I loved coming home from school to watch Batman TAS. Then became a little older and Batman beyond would come on before I had to go to school. Amazing time indeed.
This show was truly something. Like a gritty, cyberpunk and sci-fi version with a young teen as the hero. Even though Bruce is still present, he serves as Terry's mentor, which is double awesome. I really loved this intro too. So badass!
90s were the golden period of Badass animation with badass music. I feel most of these 90s animated series were designed to appeal the adult audience instead of kids.
I'm glad that, even if I was born in the late 90's, I had the pleasure of watching series like this, Spider Man: TAS and X-Man: TAS back in the early 2000's.
Anyone else like how they pretty nailed the music of the future in the dance club scenes? And this series came out like 12 yrs before Skrillex and Dubstep became mainstream.
are broadcasts these days so afraid of showing kids and teens some darker aspects in cartoons? all the new cartoons are bright and fluffy while their "villains" are more for comedic effect than actual conflict. guess what LIFE ISNT THAT EASY.
agreed but this intro was just TRYING! to be edgy i mean showing kawaii girls dancing and that skull popping out of nowhere and all the shadows !!!! i cant see shit! if you wanna do a dark opening that's gud but don't just pop random emo stuff out of nowhere xD
+MarvelSoda Have you ever watched the show? That skull was the face of Blight/Derek Powers who had see-through radioactive skin (with his skeleton being the only thing left visible). Also, I didn't realize that the guy on the right was secretly a Kawaii girl, how shocking! (In all seriousness though, it shows off Terry's girlfriend)
This is the first show I ever watched. I couldn't even speak English or understand it at that time but I still managed to understand this show. Good times
This show was dark, gritty, and utterly terrifying...and I loved every single waking moment of it. I mean, the first cartoon series could get pretty dark, but this show pulled no punches whatsoever, and sadly, it didn't get as much appreciation as it deserved. This was hardcore!
When i was a child I thought Terry was Batman but seeing the original Batman the animated series at least once confused me cause I wonder where is buff Batman, it wasn't until 1st grade I learned that the old man called Mr.Wayne is the buff Batman and got old.
When cartoons made you think and just gave it to you without censoring the world we live in. It's a terrible violent place we inhabit with tons of injustices, strap in kiddies.
NEXT E3: Rocksteady "ladies and gentlemen, although we DID say arkham knight would be our last arkham game we didn't say it would be our last batman game......we would like to announce what is in the next chapter in our batman story" THIS MUSIC STARTS BLASTING AND EPIC CGI OF NEOGOTHAM AND BATMAN BEYOND BADASSERY ARE SHOWN*
+ninjaboi1593 If that happened, I would die from all the awesomeness! A Batman Beyond game made by Rocksteady would be genius! GENIUS! If it does happen however, I just hope it won't be the same mess as the PC version of Arkham Knight.
I' just turn 37 a few days ago and looking at old cartoon clips from the 80s 90s 2000s make me feel more old and wish we all go back to those times as kids
I loved it when I was a kid but then again we had also shows like Gargoyles and I remember also King Arthur and the Knights of Justice and Dungeons and Dragons showed that the good guys don't always win or both sides didn't win.
Mocha Delight I feel bad for todays kids, having to grow mostly unserious cartoony shows compared to us. Sure Batman Beyond was serious, but it's not like all cartoons at that time were super serious and dark and violent like that. This show kinda prepared you to the bad(/good) aspects of life you'll encounter when growing up. That's a really good kids show I'd say. You just don't have to be a puss (that's kinda mean I know and I'm sorry, but you know what I mean right?)
Mega Pulsar huh?Unserious?AT is very serious and becomes more darker with every new seasons,Steven Universe has a lot moral choices which very usefull for kids(and i dont speak about mature content which doesnt mean sex or violence but things that very serious even for adult),GF had good storytelling and mystery.If you almost forgot before BB there were Nickylodean tv shows and warner bros(from which bats coming that day) which has tiny toons,animaniacs,pinky and brain,freekazoid,mask,ace ventura etc.And if you dont know for growing up there were great shows Legend of Aang and Corra(first programm was like original Bats and second like BB but more mature and i dont joke(lesbian remarks,post traumatic moments,death,villain with good minds but with bad realisation) and new SJ which was even complex.The same is with Pixar.Look at their movies.Can you find this in 90's?Only in Lion King but its Hamlet for children so it doesnt count. This era even adulter than in 90's but without 90's which have a lot of children shows with adult jokes and themes that's not for children industry becomes better.And another great example how you arent right is Futurama.Its funny series but with every new seasons one moment and you cry like a baby because its dramatic moment.Adventure Time has become Futurama 2.0 for children.Starting from something innovative but without logics now it has very complex story with every moment which child go through at the same age like main character.Anout another character is the same.Love,hate,friendship,marriage,sadness,death of loving ones,holocaust(yeah yeah very unserious bsvkground),distrust,loneliness,traiting from parents
The atmosphere in this intro still gets me pumped to this day. The pacing and shot decisions paired with the badass and twisty music all blend perfectly together in a way that summarizes and accentuates everything greait about this show all in about a minute. One of the very best I think.
One of the darkest, creepiest, and most nostalgic animated intros ever made in the history of mankind. Heroic, anti-heroic and violent criminal attributes blending in together, reflecting causes and effects of the futuristic Gotham. Batman (Old - New) and their villains are much more frightening and terrifying than most other super-powered heroes and their villainous counter-parts. I love dark characters and comics! Anyway, Love this theme!
I finished the last season on Netflix 2 weeks ago. I will NEVER understand why they decided to end the show. It didn't really have that ending feel...i hope they bring it back.
Man, this show got really dark at times. It made me more uneasy than a lot of so called adult shows or cartoons from back then or even recent ones. So damn good.
Yeah I definitely could see a serious live action batman beyond film soon. Especially after seeing ironman (2008-2013) and robocop (2014). Those films were done well and obviously the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight trilogy was incredible. Next year would mark ten years from batman begins (2005). I think it's time for a new aged batman............. Anyone agree:)
i do but who can play a old bruce i mean he in the cartoon it got him a man who is still haunted by his past yet he knows he can't be batman anymore which leads a him to painful moment of letting go of the suit and crime fighting, he showed that even with the will to go on or the power of a god you still have some form of limitation or weakness were you can't always protect your friends family or innocent life
The Dark Knight Trilogy sucked ass... Nolan's a hack and should stay the fuck away from anything DC because even his presence ruins movies (see Man of Shit for that)... We need a new Batman series of movies, that doesn't portray Batman as a buffoon that sounds like a chainsmoker... That irked me the most about those movies, Batman just wasn't smart! He was an utter idiot who had to rely on other people to give him the stuff he needed!
MercuryAlphaInc The Nolan films were the only good Batman films other than the Tim burton movies but I agree though they made way too realistic and corny.
***** Darwyn Cooke was a comic writer and artist whose done a lot of work for DC Comics. He created The New Frontier (a DC graphic novel which was adapted into an animated movie) and created the intro for Batman Beyond.
DC asked Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, and Alan Burnett for a "Batman in High School" show. This was their answer.
And it was glorious.
Rocky Reuben so the producers moved on to Justice league and then wbkids no longer existed so the rights go to cartoon network (a sister company ) and well people don't like giving there rights to other companies
Never before have I seen an idea as stupid sounding as "Batman in High School" executed with such care, passion, and thought. This show BLOWS me away.
mcmax571 reasonable
i mean, batman is an edgy adult. and edgy teenager is reasonable
Executives demand: Teenage Batman
Creators response: Cyberpunk Batman
And you get BOTH!
I mean it works perfectly for a teenage Batman. It’s edgy and possibly fitting for music at that age…even though I was vibing to this when I was 9 lol.

How
I love how the word "Hope" appears right after Terry's face was shown then the word "Justice" is shown right before old Bruce's face is shown. It felt very right.
yes and they show the statue of Justitia / Lady Justice
I love how they show the word courage before we see a group performing some courageous dance moves.
I noticed that too. A perfect intro without a single word being uttered. The graphics and words on screen hit right. Told you all you needed to know and then some.
Terry representing the hope for a better city and Bruce representing justice for the city.
It does feel right.

3) would you rather it end while its good or continue on and become terrible, destroying its legacy?(then it really WILL get canceled😂)

To make room for the Justice League shows. Though it showed the ending of Batman Beyond in an episode of JLU, and that was satisfying enough.

Fuck yeah! It's gonna run on Adult Swim.
this is the batman i grew up with and it was awesome kinda wish this show was still on today
Bruh this is my show. This is why I LOVE Batman!! Now if only we can get a Batman Beyond movie !!
There's an animated movie at least :D Look up "Return Of The Joker"
Nothing should be allowed to be this agressively early 2000s
I loved how dark it was, even as a kid
One of the better animation intros from all times.
This was my show. I was glued to every episode. I could really identify with Terry for some reason.
are broadcasts these days so afraid of showing kids and teens some darker aspects in cartoons? all the new cartoons are bright and fluffy while their "villains" are more for comedic effect than actual conflict. guess what LIFE ISNT THAT EASY.
agreed but this intro was just TRYING! to be edgy i mean showing kawaii girls dancing and that skull popping out of nowhere and all the shadows !!!! i cant see shit! if you wanna do a dark opening that's gud but don't just pop random emo stuff out of nowhere xD
+MarvelSoda He knows those girls, they weren't random lol.
steven universe, while it appears extremely bright and friendly, has pretty dark themes and plots
that skull represents the man who murders terry´s father
+MarvelSoda Have you ever watched the show? That skull was the face of Blight/Derek Powers who had see-through radioactive skin (with his skeleton being the only thing left visible).
Also, I didn't realize that the guy on the right was secretly a Kawaii girl, how shocking! (In all seriousness though, it shows off Terry's girlfriend)
This is the first show I ever watched. I couldn't even speak English or understand it at that time but I still managed to understand this show. Good times
Of all the Batman, this was definitely the darkest
The wings flaring up in the air at the end is so iconic for me :)
One of the best intros ever
The opening sequence is so... mature, dark, and damn right engaging. This opening sequence truly depicts the Batman of the future.
This intro is FIRE. Shows from this era like Beast Machines, etc., always had the sickest theme songs.
I used to think this kinda neat back when I first watch it. But now that I watch it today I realize how right this opening feels.
Here after WB rejected a Batman Beyond animation from the creators of Spider-Verse
Wb canceled a coyote vs acme movie that's 100% finished just for warner bros to write it off as tax write-off
They also canceled bat girl and final space for tax write offs
It's stupid
Don't forget the scoob holiday movie
they didn't completely rejected it, it's still being pitched to james gunn and hopefully they do accept it
One of my favourite cartoons of all time
I woulda killed for more of this. Batman Beyond was one of the best batman shows ever.
TheDsncurry Agreed
I loved this intro in past and now.
When i was younger i was scared to DEATH with the intro. it was so scary i got nightmares about it xD
Cuz this series has darker themes xD for me the intro was amazing
+PANDAPIE can't blame ya there, man. but the intro is definetly kick ass now, huh?
jack lajoie Yup!
+PANDAPIE lemme guess at 0:18 you scared yourself when a kid?
Aaron 4 life idk it was the whole thing that scared me.
This show was dark, gritty, and utterly terrifying...and I loved every single waking moment of it. I mean, the first cartoon series could get pretty dark, but this show pulled no punches whatsoever, and sadly, it didn't get as much appreciation as it deserved. This was hardcore!
When i was a child I thought Terry was Batman but seeing the original Batman the animated series at least once confused me cause I wonder where is buff Batman, it wasn't until 1st grade I learned that the old man called Mr.Wayne is the buff Batman and got old.
With all the Live Action Batman movies, I’m surprised no one’s tried to tackle a Beyond movie yet
We need Michael Keaton as Old Bruce Wayne damn it
Who the hell is Bruce Wayne? I only know Michael Keaton as Man.
When cartoons made you think and just gave it to you without censoring the world we live in. It's a terrible violent place we inhabit with tons of injustices, strap in kiddies.
Injustice is everywhere
NEXT E3: Rocksteady "ladies and gentlemen, although we DID say arkham knight would be our last arkham game we didn't say it would be our last batman game......we would like to announce what is in the next chapter in our batman story"
THIS MUSIC STARTS BLASTING AND EPIC CGI OF NEOGOTHAM AND BATMAN BEYOND BADASSERY ARE SHOWN*
+ninjaboi1593 Batman: Arkham Beyond. Yes please!
+ninjaboi1593
NEO-GOTHAM IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE
+ninjaboi1593 That would be a dream come true.
+ninjaboi1593 If that happened, I would die from all the awesomeness! A Batman Beyond game made by Rocksteady would be genius! GENIUS! If it does happen however, I just hope it won't be the same mess as the PC version of Arkham Knight.
+David Solomie especially since we don't even know if Bruce actually died in that explosion
I' just turn 37 a few days ago and looking at old cartoon clips from the 80s 90s 2000s make me feel more old and wish we all go back to those times as kids
This show was absolutely amazing. At a time when American animation was at its zenith...
This takes me back to the early 2000s... the best time.
To this day literally no other cartoon opening has EVER gone as fucking hard as this, not just in terms of music but also art/visuals.
Happy 15th anniversary to such an awesome show!
I used to watch this
So did I!
I got The Detention theme song
I know that the 15th anniversary of that show doesn't happen until 9/11 or 9/10 considering that 9/11 should be a time to honor the people of America.
Yeah which was started by some fatass terrorists
RIP Kevin Conroy aka Bruce Wayne
I loved this show so much, but it got really deep and serious, like it wasn't a kids show which is probably why my dad liked it too. Lol!
I loved it when I was a kid but then again we had also shows like Gargoyles and I remember also King Arthur and the Knights of Justice and Dungeons and Dragons showed that the good guys don't always win or both sides didn't win.
Kpop Universe Wish they still made cartoons in that regard.
Mocha Delight I feel bad for todays kids, having to grow mostly unserious cartoony shows compared to us. Sure Batman Beyond was serious, but it's not like all cartoons at that time were super serious and dark and violent like that. This show kinda prepared you to the bad(/good) aspects of life you'll encounter when growing up. That's a really good kids show I'd say. You just don't have to be a puss (that's kinda mean I know and I'm sorry, but you know what I mean right?)
Mocha Delight now tv series like this becomes more.Watch Samurai Jack.Old and new.Deep and serious
Mega Pulsar huh?Unserious?AT is very serious and becomes more darker with every new seasons,Steven Universe has a lot moral choices which very usefull for kids(and i dont speak about mature content which doesnt mean sex or violence but things that very serious even for adult),GF had good storytelling and mystery.If you almost forgot before BB there were Nickylodean tv shows and warner bros(from which bats coming that day) which has tiny toons,animaniacs,pinky and brain,freekazoid,mask,ace ventura etc.And if you dont know for growing up there were great shows Legend of Aang and Corra(first programm was like original Bats and second like BB but more mature and i dont joke(lesbian remarks,post traumatic moments,death,villain with good minds but with bad realisation) and new SJ which was even complex.The same is with Pixar.Look at their movies.Can you find this in 90's?Only in Lion King but its Hamlet for children so it doesnt count.
This era even adulter than in 90's but without 90's which have a lot of children shows with adult jokes and themes that's not for children industry becomes better.And another great example how you arent right is Futurama.Its funny series but with every new seasons one moment and you cry like a baby because its dramatic moment.Adventure Time has become Futurama 2.0 for children.Starting from something innovative but without logics now it has very complex story with every moment which child go through at the same age like main character.Anout another character is the same.Love,hate,friendship,marriage,sadness,death of loving ones,holocaust(yeah yeah very unserious bsvkground),distrust,loneliness,traiting from parents
Thsnk you mom, for showing all the old shows i wouldn't have known otherwise
I say we stop using words like "swag" and "dank" and follow Batman Beyond's example. "Shway" it sounds much better don't you think?
Zeta The Sixth it sounds Shway
When I was a child this was my favorite version of Batman... and still does!
this show is one of my go-to examples of how to do a legacy character right
The music hits hard! 🤘🤘🤟🤟
This intro is so freaking badass!!!!
The one thing I don't get is that night club scene, but other than that, pretty freaking awesome.
Debauchery
Apathy...Greed...Corruption...Power and then comes the symbol of 'HOPE'... Batman is way more than just a superhero
one of the best cartoon shows i ever had the pleasure of watching, this show was fucking awesome
the amount of meticulous detail and realistic concept of a dystopian future, Huxley-esque,,, this show holds up, dialogue and everything.
One of the best animated Batman shows in my book. Loved watching this as a kid.
The atmosphere in this intro still gets me pumped to this day. The pacing and shot decisions paired with the badass and twisty music all blend perfectly together in a way that summarizes and accentuates everything greait about this show all in about a minute. One of the very best I think.
One of the darkest, creepiest, and most nostalgic animated intros ever made in the history of mankind. Heroic, anti-heroic and violent criminal attributes blending in together, reflecting causes and effects of the futuristic Gotham. Batman (Old - New) and their villains are much more frightening and terrifying than most other super-powered heroes and their villainous counter-parts. I love dark characters and comics! Anyway, Love this theme!
“Yeah, there’s TOTALLY NOOOOO WAAAAAYYYYY that this could’ve been a movie,” he said sarcastically.
A great show that I grew up on. I'm glad to have the entire collection of Batman Beyond on DVD! :)
Kids weren’t treated like idiots back then were they, we’re so lucky✌️
I finished the last season on Netflix 2 weeks ago. I will NEVER understand why they decided to end the show. It didn't really have that ending feel...i hope they bring it back.
I hope not. They will just poison it with wokeness now.
I remember there was even futuristic Spiderman series called Spiderman unlimited that aired with this show
Man, this show got really dark at times. It made me more uneasy than a lot of so called adult shows or cartoons from back then or even recent ones. So damn good.
This theme will never get stale. Such a good show :)
I was 14 when this video came. Time does fly fast...
With todays release of "concept art for a live action Batman Beyond movie" this intro had to be watched !!!! #batmanbeyondlivemovie
Same reason I'm here 😂
This is the best intro to a cartoon ever imo
Yeah I definitely could see a serious live action batman beyond film soon. Especially after seeing ironman (2008-2013) and robocop (2014). Those films were done well and obviously the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight trilogy was incredible. Next year would mark ten years from batman begins (2005). I think it's time for a new aged batman............. Anyone agree:)
i do but who can play a old bruce i mean he in the cartoon it got him a man who is still haunted by his past yet he knows he can't be batman anymore which leads a him to painful moment of letting go of the suit and crime fighting, he showed that even with the will to go on or the power of a god you still have some form of limitation or weakness were you can't always protect your friends family or innocent life
Michael Keaton or Clint Eastwood. Those would be my personal picks
The Dark Knight Trilogy sucked ass... Nolan's a hack and should stay the fuck away from anything DC because even his presence ruins movies (see Man of Shit for that)...
We need a new Batman series of movies, that doesn't portray Batman as a buffoon that sounds like a chainsmoker... That irked me the most about those movies, Batman just wasn't smart! He was an utter idiot who had to rely on other people to give him the stuff he needed!
MercuryAlphaInc The Nolan films were the only good Batman films other than the Tim burton movies but I agree though they made way too realistic and corny.
God what a show
Just to clear up some confusion, the show was called Batman of the Future in the UK and Rep. of Ireland, and Batman Beyond in the US.
Sweet Jesus This show was amazing Kevin Conroy is the greatest animated batman arguably the best batman period but Eric Matthews is damn close
RIP Darwyn Cooke.
+Robert Thomas Yagenmyer the guy who created justice league the new frontier
***** Darwyn Cooke was a comic writer and artist whose done a lot of work for DC Comics. He created The New Frontier (a DC graphic novel which was adapted into an animated movie) and created the intro for Batman Beyond.
RIP
Anyone else here after hearing WB rejected the spider verse inspired animated movie.
Yuppers
They didn’t reject it they said maybe and the idea is still being pitched to them
@@elijah-e4n lmao it's zaslav, he'd probably rather have it as a tax write-off than actually make it
how is it that i just realized how this op is quite inspired by evangelion's editing style...after almost two decades
