BATMAN-ON-FILM.COM - Will The Batman on Film Reboot be 'BATMAN BEYOND?' (7.17.13)
an adaptation of the animated TV series BATMAN BEYOND is on the table when it comes to the upcoming Batman on film reboot.
This would not be a continuation of Chris Nolans Dark Knight Trilogy where Christian Bales Bruce Wayne mentors Joseph Gordon Levitts Batman. (The Nolanverse is done, not coming back, and it's time to move on.) No, it would have nothing to do with the Nolanverse and would feature a dynamic very similar to what we got in the animated TV show. How such a project would fit in a unified DCU on film is unclear.
(If you don't think a solo Batman film series based on BATMAN BEYOND would mesh with a DCU on film -- if there ever is one -- you'd be wrong. The "in his prime" Bruce Wayne Batman could potentially be in a team-up film, while the aged and retired Bruce Wayne Batman would be the version of the same character in the BEYOND solo films. Think "non-linear" -- same Batman, different time periods.)
In the animated TV series which ran from 1999 to 2001 on The WB (now The CW) television network an aged Bruce Wayne trains and mentors Terry McGinnis as Gotham Citys (actually called Neo Gotham on the show) new Batman. An ongoing BATMAN BEYOND comic book series is currently being produced by DC Comics.
