Batman Beyond

it's fun to think about, but it would never happen.

 

Woah. That's actually a good Blight. I've always wanted a live-action version of the cartoon. I hope they do it someday.

 

Dude I love Batman Beyond and this idea. Kudos.

 

It's kind of too bad this movie never got made. Boaz Yakin was looking to direct. Timm and Dini were writing it might've been interesting. Get Eastwood in there as the retired Batman and you got something. ****, I think young Eastwood in his movies is like Batman in a lot of ways.

 

well he has the look, and I guess he could pull it off. I dunno, I always associate Danson with comedies so it's a little hard to imagine. Powers had that smug, arrogant, air about him I can sort of see Danson pulling off though.

I think it'd be best to incorporate some comic elements, like say a reference to Barbara's time as Oracle. Maybe it was during this time that she lost faith in the superheroing. The show never went into much depth about why the other Bat-family members stopped donning tights. Sure there's ROTJ and the effect that had, but looking back it just doesn't sit right with me that they'd just decide it was "kid stuff" and move on.

 

Channing.

 

If you have seen Becker, you wouldn't question that Danson can pull that off.

 

if he was younger, i would have chosen Jonathan Bennett as Terry

 

lol, his role as Becker almost makes me think he could play Bruce, although seeing Keaton come back as an older Bruce would be cool too (this was mentioned on an older thread).

 

I love Batman Beyond, some argue is even better than Batman: TAS, it was more consistent from start to finish. It could be done of course, maybe five years from now, 2013? Once Nolan is done with his version, I don't see a reason against it, with the right cast, using the pilot for the movie, etc. it could be a success.

 

I daydream of a live action batman beyond movie on a daily basis.
My choice would be Hugo Weaving for Derek Powers/Blight.
But anyways... in my Live Action version of Batman, I kind of had an idea where in the 2nd movie, Bruce would become Batman again but in the form of a transforming tumbler mech. Then the 'mech' would get destroyed only to reveal Bruce donning a newly developed retro-looking batsuit with cape and all to save Terry in the third act.

I wrote a little trilogy on paper and I thought it was cool. It would tell the story of father and son that would unfold throughout the 3 movies. How Terry finds out who his biological father is and the person behind it all. I got the idea from 'Epilogue' but instead of Amanda Waller I replaced the character with Selina Kyle.

 

I never really felt that blight was that big a deal....

they should have kept him on for longer...Although saying this, as the second film, i'd much rather have it have elements of the mr freeze return than the royal flush gang, that episode was ****ing awesome and also dealt with the first showing of blight.

infact, that could all go in the first film because it takes a batman villain.

batman could use mr freeze coming out as a way to want to get back out there but can't while terry wants the suit for himself to take out powers and they cross paths.

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT IT SHOULD END IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS REBIRTH DID WITH BATS COMING TO TERRY'S HOUSE AND HAVING A CHAT WITH HIM ANS SAYING...



Very good Mr mcguiness, welcome to my world...

 

As for biological elements, they should imply that they made terry his son but it should actually be his lil brother matt



last film ends with the death of batman and terry left with the legacy of going from the student to the master and taking on the responsibility to train the new batman of the future.

 

Suit should also not be a strength enhancer

and there should definitely be like a dissapering INQUE cameo part where bruce comes in with some old tech armour.

 

Yes to both. The first one Im actually pretty neutral on. I dont think his strength was over exaggerrated to crazy degree.

 

I'd really like to see a Batman Beyond movie. and I liked the idea.
about the strength enhancer, I think it wasn't a big deal. sounds right, since Bats fight so many tough villains.

 

Not only forced, but stupid and contrived.

 

It never really did terry any favours in the eyes of the fans because bruce managed to do it in his hayday without the tech...

saying that, bruce never attempted anything this crazy while he was young although some may say that dick and tim (and babara) and babara all did so....

I don't mind the other bits of technology but the strength always bothered me. Infact i reckon that's why they specifically made an ep where terry had to combat and take on his suit to show he had some skills.

 

I have alwyas thought Batman Beyond would make a fantastic film. The characters are great. the sets could be great and i think the dark color schemes of the series would translate well to the big screen. I agree with stockard channig being Barbara, she aced that role. i would have never even thought od Ted Danson as Powers but i think it would def work. Good call on that Matt

 

"There may be some momentary discomfort"

The episode really encompassed what the show was about.

Yes, please. Completely unnecessary.
