Why dont they reboot Batman

[Nuke Dukem]

The animate series


and make it dark and gritty like the spawn cartoon that was on HBO

keep it like the nolan films with a realistic touch..


It doesnt make sense NOT to do it

The original Batman: The Animated Series was already fairly dark.

 

[marcuz]

the original TAS was already pretty dark

batman doesn't really warrant an hbo rating; he doesn't even kill people.

 

[gluvnast]

the OG batman TAS was dark enough that it was at one point a PRIME TIME SERIES for a brief moment.

Adults don't really watch cartoons like that to build a whole Batman series around them.

I think Batmans got the fan base to do it


shyt it dont have to be HBO material but through it on adult swim or something



Just no kiddie shyt

where every bad guy either floats away, bounces off a wall, ect... but never dies

You can't sell toys with a show marketed to adults. DC/WB is in the business of making money not making cartoons for 21+ year olds.

Found these on superherohype. Would definitely be interested in watching something like this

Aged MUCH better than X-Men or Spider-Man.

While OG Batman wasn't in the frontlines this time, I thought Batman Beyond accomplished a dark theme pretty well.

The way the Bane wannabe was taken out with them juicer patches was just

You had Inque (Clayface stand in) who tried to kill a nikka by going through his mouth

Splicers

The BB show could be cray at times.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Because that's a terrible idea and I hope you never work in television.

Doesn't make sense. Adult fans watch the movies and read the comics. If they make a more adult themed Batman it would be too expensive to make it an adult swim show and the viewer base would not justify the cost. This is part of the reason we only get a season of the Boondocks once every two years or so.

Didn't they bring it back in 07 or 08 on Saturday mornings briefly. It was a new batman and I thought pretty good I only saw one or two episodes then it must have got cancelled
