Batman Beyond Movie

[I.Bulk]

Just curious about weather the fans want to see a live action Batman Beyond movie some time in the future?


Any thoughts?

[olemonica]

Oh, hell yeah. I love Batman Beyond.

They could manip christians face so he looked real old so he could play bruce in the beyond movie too:P

Steven Strait would be perfect for the terry mcginnis part(the dude from The Covenant adn Sky high)

the animated show was alright....a live action could work, not within the realms of what nolan has created. the movie would be set roughly 50 years from now, i doubt that 2058 will look anything like what batman beyonds gotham city did.

it would take the end of nolans films, and a "reimagining" of the character that takes batman to a more fantasy based level. del toro would be prefect to direct.

If we're sticking to Nolan's 'realistic' look, Blythe would have to be just some guy with a radiation disease who then wears neon-green skull mask.

But I would love to have Clint Eastwood as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Kevin Conroy really made Bruce into a grizzled, sardonic, disdainful and scornful, yet compassionate father-figure to Terry.

Instead of Terry losing his father I would have it where his mother is a single mom with Terry and his little brother and she doesn't mention his real father. Real father would be of course Bruce and when Terry ends up showing up to Wayne's mansion, Bruce would say something like, "Welcome home son..."

I think as for villains the Jokerz and the Dee Dees would be great. You could even have The Joker return in the form of Tim Drake. Of course you'd be remaking "Return of the Joker" but it'd work.

Stalker, Mr. Freeze, Shriek, Spellbinder, and Mad Stan could also work too.

not a fan of that idea....it almost seems cliche to me, i dont know why but it does

fanboys would ***** themselves...its one thing to have joson todd as red hood because thats from the comics, but to change tims character like that would piss alot of people off....me included.


villians i would like shriek, red hood, and the royal flush gang

I know that but I had a problem with all of sudden on that "Justice League" episode it turns out Bruce's DNA was implanted into Terry's mother and Terry turned out to be his son. And they made it out like the only reason he was born was to become the next Batman. Yeeeaaahhhh....

That's why I thought of that idea. I know it goes against the show and the fan's wishes but I'd either 'ditch Bruce is my dad' idea all to begin with and just have Terry's dad getting killed by The Jokerz and then Terry becomes Batman like the pilot or Terry just doesn't have a dad at all when we meet him and his mother is a single mom with him and Matt and Terry's dad died along time ago but it's never revealed how he died till later.

just ditch the bruce/father thing....maybe even have huntress in the beyond movie somewhere?

[luke1234]

I would like the see an animated movie, or a cg movie but for now it doesnt look too good for a live-action film. I am a huge fan of the cartoon series. Terry is such a badass he would kick Peter Parkers ass ahhaa. But i would like to see the series revived rather then a live action movie

all it takes to kick parkers ass is to call him an emo ***....then he goes home and cuts himself.

I'd love it

[batman497]

Futureistic movies arealways lame. The show just wouldn't translate well to screen. I would love a new animated Beyond movie though.

Any thoughts?
I loved the show when I was a kid but I never see it on anymore. But anyhow, I like this idea because I personally thought that Batman Beyond was cool because they sorta turned Bruce Wayne's character into the new butler now and another thing I like is that they get someone younger to play Batman and you see the difference between his version and Wayne's version of Batman on the screen which was the main thing I loved about that show.The only problem I think that they would have with this is Batman's costume because to keep the signature look from the show; they're gonna have to make the mask go all around his face which will be kinda tricky I guess because I don't remember ever seeing a superhero where that kind of mask before(of course Spider-Man and others like have masks like that but none at which have the mouth clear open so when the person inside speaks the mask moves freely along with the movement of his mouth).

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker brilliantly did the Tim Drake/ Joker plot with few complaints of ruining drake's character. That movie did a great job of blending Drake's guilt of shooting and killing the joker (unedited version) with the Joker's twisted subtle brainwash/ DNA takeover with the Cadmus technology. Of course, that could never be done in live action without seeming stupid.

[project13]

BB movie, bad idea


Good idea: revamping the series itself

The title would be "Batman: The Tomorrow Knight" or simply "The Tomorrow Knight"

Terry McGinnis would be more like Dick and have a similar Nightwing costume

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_%28Terry_McGinnis%29

Max Gibson would be more like Oracle when she helps Terry in missions

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxine_%22Max%22_Gibson

The Joker would return as Dick instead of Tim.

[ThreeActRomance]

if they beefed him up a bit-and died his hair. Will Friedle (who did the voice of Terry) could actually pull off playing him live.

Hey, if Toby Mcguire can be a superhero. Why the hell not?

[DCnightwing23]

Man i would love to see a batman beyond film, maybe have tim burton direct it.

[ThreeActRomance]

sadly, the only way a Beyond flick would work...at not suck totally-looking like a ****ing Power Rangers episode...

go the cyber punk route with Beyond. Put it in a style of Stange Days / The Matrix / Blade Runner / A Scanner Darkly / Renasciance...

otherwise, the Jokerz would look like the neon painted thugs in the Shumacher films....

[RonStoppablefan]

And if they did it could it work?

[BatJeff7786]

At this point probably not.

[Batmachine_18]

Well I think itd be a great movie (if done right). I tried writing a script for it, it turned out well but its short. Anyways I believe that BBeyond could be a great movie with graphics and plot. Just that it would be best if it was made 5 years from now or whenever theyre done with the Nolan franchise because normal people (no knowledge of Batman) would get confused and not understand.

If they did make it the villians should be Blight (Dereck Powers), and Inque, and a small focus on the Jokerz. I see this as a two-movie deal no trilogy unless done right, but It should be done in the future. The sequel could have Blight and Shriek in it. with the Jokerz still bad, I dont know if the Royal Flush would pan out or not.

For some reason, basing off the TAS Batman Beyond I'd choose Clint Eastwood as Old Bruce Wayne for some reason.

[Riven]

As cool as it could be, I doubt they'll ever end up doing a Beyond movie. It's getting to be quite some years since the series aired, so it's really slipping away from view. Out of sight, out of mind, right? And I don't think it ever made that much (or even any) of an impact on the general public's perception of Batman, so this project will probably never come from under the dust.

[RonStoppablefan]

That's true, if it was ever done people wouldn't remember it. Well maybe they could do a the theme from the animated series and have Terry do the voice over explaing what happened over the years. Could work..Could not...

[COMPO]

I would love for them to do a comic book series of it showing after epilogue cos I always wondered what Terry did with his life I mean when we saw him in Batman Beyond he was failing so I wonder if he managed to get some stability and get a good career.

yeah good cast espiecally Carrie Fisher. lol. she suits Gordon for some reason.

[dolfan55aj]

I can totally see Eastwood as Bruce, that'd be awesome. I dunno about Terry McGinnis though, not sure why, just seems wrong.

[olemonica]

Imagine Jason Dohring as the leader of the Jokerz. Perfect IMO

[batboy99]

Fisher as Babs is a great choice. Ive thought about Susan Surandon for Babs myself

[anrrd_2]

i just hope if they ever do make a batman beyond flick that they have babs in a wheelchair or talk about her having reconstructive spine surgery or something....just alittle nod to her time as oracle.

Fixed.

I can't post his pic because I can only use 7 images.

[Artistsean]

I have posted this in another thread about this, somewhere, but anyway

Cast:
Will Friedle (http://imdb.com/name/nm0295115/) as Terry McGinnis/Batman
(just make the movie take place after high school.)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/artistsean/Will_Friedle.jpg

Kevin Conroy (http://imdb.com/name/nm0175834/) could play an older Bruce Wayne (just use makeup)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/artistsean/kevin_conroy.jpg

Teri Garr (http://imdb.com/name/nm0000414/) as Mrs. Mary McGinnis (Terry's Mom)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/artistsean/teri_garr.jpg

Stockard Channing (http://imdb.com/name/nm0000330/) could play Commissioner Barbara Gordon
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/artistsean/janning.jpg

even Sherman Howard (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0397603/) could play Derek Powers, just make his hair look like Powers'
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/artistsean/sherman.jpg

I think these characters could be played by the actors who played them in the cartoon. I don't think these guys would need to be changed.

I think these actors could pull off the movie.

Personally, I would rather see Frank Miller direct The Dark Knight Returns than a Batman Beyond movie, but a Batman Beyond movie definitely has potential. I don't think either of these movies would happen though, mostly because DC would probably have another movie about a more traditional Batman to rake in more money from the general audience, rather than DKR or BB, either if which would probably appeal primarily more to the fanboys. Although I think if given the chance, either of these projects have the potential to be great movies and widely received by not just fanboys, but the general movie going populace as well.

[ThreeActRomance]

in all honesty, there's a better chance of WB using these PG-13 animated movies they're doing to give Beyond a "final farewell"-as opposed to the half assed -yet still awesome- "Epilogue" we got.

[Artistsean]

What was bad about Epilogue?
Timm started with Batman so he ended with Batman, tying everything together. I thought it was good for a half hour show.

It also has no real reason to be seen as having potential anymore, by the studios, since the TV show was cancelled so long ago. Unless they perhaps brought back the show or something.
I remember while the show was on, or almost ending, there was talks about WB doing a live action movie staring Freddie Prince Jr. as Terry. So I am sort of glad that they didn't.

What about the potential of a animated movie, perhaps a direct to DVD again or maybe this time a theater film?

[rory_bat]

I would love to see a Batman Beyond movie! I hope they consider doing that after the third Nolan film.

[tekken]

isn't dana tan asian?

and as much as i'd like to see a batman beyond movie, people won't even agree to bring robin into the movies. what makes people think batman beyond is a possibility for a future movie? i'd honestly like to see a good portrayal of robin(tim drake) and nightwing first.

[ModestMr.Green]

Ted Danson as Old Bruce.

Kristin Kreuk or Rosario Dawson as Inque.

[az824]

yes, dana is asian

i think a batman beyond movie would be awesome if done right and if advertised right it could be very successful

[JokerLedger]

If Iron man can work, Batman Beyond can definately be done.
My vision of Batman Beyond isn't really the cyber punk futuristic metropolis Timm and Co have created. Instead, it's more of what we have today in the present. If you think about it, 20 years from now, things won't be much different other than handheld tech, car designs, computers, etc. Our cities will most likely look the same.

[az824]

i hope so, i saw some pretty cool german cars were the doors slide under the car, it was tight

[The Senator]

I'm not all that interested in seeing a live-action Batman Beyond movie. I just don't think it would translate that well to the big screen.

[ThreeActRomance]

i still think that a Beyond flick directed by Alex Proyas done in a cyberpunk dystopia style of film would really work well.

dont play it as a superhero movie. play it as a cyberpunk picture..just that the main character is frikkin' Batman.

[Faded To Deaf]

I'm down. But I loved The Killing Joke storyline, just cripple Batgirl please, that always bugged me that they didn't include that in the show. Everything else is perfect. But I really should read The Dark Knight Returns before I sink my entire vote in. Other than that fault of mine, I think Batman Beyond has a lot of potential.

ps. Loved how the gave Batman Beyond a proper ending in Justice League Unlimited. It was perfect!

[ModestMr.Green]

Honestly, I think that doing a live-action adaptation of Batman Beyond would be better left to a new television series than a film.

It's an entirely new ballgame, and the average movie-goer would be confused by such a drastic change in the limited Batman story that they're tuned into. The average movie-goer is always a problem when it comes to comic book movies. You can't just make a movie for the fans.

you make a good point aboue the average movie goer....they suck!

i also am a fan of the series idea...perhaps an hbo miniseries. make it very adult oriented to draw in all the BTAS and BB sewries fans that have grown up since the shows cancellation

[ModestMr.Green]

Or something on The CW for those of us without film channels. :P

Yes.

YES.

You, good sir, have just provided me with my happy thought for the day.

[batboy99]

Guys, Milo is too old, he's like,30. Terry is supposed to be a TEEN!

[topnotch]

I would like the see an animated movie, or a cg movie but for now it doesnt look too good for a live-action film. I am a huge fan of the cartoon series. Terry is such a badass he would kick Peter Parkers ass ahhaa. But i would like to see the series revived rather then a live action movie
I would like them to bring it back to. If fans of the show do what the fans of jericho did maybe wb might bring it back

[Pirate Queen]

Guys, Milo is too old, he's like,30. Terry is supposed to be a TEEN!

He's also still fairly young-looking, especially when he's got his hair long. Age means nothing in Hollywood these days.

[batboy99]

He's also still fairly young-looking, especially when he's got his hair long. Age means nothing in Hollywood these days.
it does when hes about 15 years older. Sure he looks younger for his age, but he looks nowhere near like a 17-19 yr old

[Pirate Queen]

Doesn't matter, anyway. Mi's got his eye on the role of Nightwing. :D

[project13]

That younger version of Batman (Terry McGinnis) is basically like having Robin(tim drake and/or dick grayson) wearing the Batsuit.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker brilliantly did the Tim Drake/ Joker plot with few complaints of ruining drake's character. That movie did a great job of blending Drake's guilt of shooting and killing the joker (unedited version) with the Joker's twisted subtle brainwash/ DNA takeover with the Cadmus technology. Of course, that could never be done in live action without seeming stupid.

How about we have Dick brainwashed by the Joker instead of Tim. That way by having Bruce forbidding Dick being Robin after he's cured , Dick would become Nightwing. He would have a similar conflict with Bruce like he had in the comics.



people won't even agree to bring robin into the movies.

Exactly, by having a "Batman Beyond" movie, we would have a Robin-esque character (ala Terry McGinnis).

[NiteMare Shape]

Why not, I was a big fan of the animated series, I wouldn't mind seeing it done at all

[JokerLedger]

If only River Phoenix were young enough and still alive :(
