Is James Gunn gonna do the "Spider-verse" Batman Beyond movie?

Right now the only animated film for theaters they are working on is Dynamic Duo (which may be or may not be part of DCU). The Jurassic League is also rumoured as an elseworlds movie project for theaters.

Why is DC afraid of using Batman Beyond?

Beyond sucks

>>149167194 (OP)
This could've been insanely cool. People would bitch about Inque and compare her to spot because of their design though
>pic related is the first search result for "Inque Batman Beyond" for me

>>149167194 (OP)
>Vandelay Industries
Are they importing or exporting?

>>149167428
Shut up retard

>Is James Gunn gonna do the "Spider-verse" Batman Beyond movie?
No. Not after his Superman turned out to be a Superflop.
Besides, we don't need a Batman Beyond animated movie, we already got the whole show. Miles Morales got a movie only because no one has seen him outside of comics, while Terry has been everywhere for the past 25 years.

>>149167563
Superman will be a success

>>149167563
Fuck off, I need a movie

>>149167194 (OP)
>Why is DC afraid of using Batman Beyond?
because it was always mid

>>149167677
Shut up

>>149167563
Miles is more popular than Terry but millennialfags can't fathom that trvth nvke

My conspiracy theory is it was always intended as a sabotage.

Dini and Timm vaguely alluded in an interview how bizarre the instructions from above to make a "Batman in high school" show were with the success of TAS and JL.
Here's a speculated interpretation of that idea

Here's what DC actually put out eventually

Had Dini and Timm put out anything like that I doubt anyone would take them seriously as creators, but see, they found a way to spin the orders just enough that Bruce and his cast appear and retain dignity but there is a Batman in high school technically.
Not just that but it actually manages to utilize Terry's troubled teenage cast well in some respects like with Willie Watts, the Jokerz, Max with Spellbinder and Ten.

They knocked it out of the park, and if someone above was instead trying to knock them off their thrones there would be the trouble with letting audiences remember Beyond. It would only have furthered influence for Dini and Timm in DC and WB.
They were becoming too powerful.

>>149167966
This

>>149167642
Why do you feel you need a movie to validate it?

>>149167966
Kids WB wanted more Batman Beyond, though. Timm was the one who basically decided to end the show by making Justice league

>>149167194 (OP)
>Why is DC afraid of using Batman Beyond?
They don't trust Gunn with it. I'd argue they'd put more trust in Matt Reeves or even Christopher Nolan to handle it

>Why is DC afraid of using Batman Beyond?

They aren't. Before Gunn scrapped it all they were planning a Beyond movie for the DCEU. Loosely.

>>149168278
They were planning Batgirl
You're conflating characters because they both wear black suits

>>149168315
Both, actually.

>n June 2020, Michael Keaton entered talks to play an elderly Bruce Wayne, reprising his role from Tim Burton's Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), in the DCEU film, The Flash, which was set for release in 2023. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. hopes for Keaton to return for multiple DCEU films in a way "akin to the role played by Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, something of a mentor or guide or even string-puller".[24] Keaton was officially confirmed to return in August of the same year.[25] In December 2022, it was announced that Christina Hodson, writer of The Flash and the cancelled Batgirl film, had been hired to write a script for a live-action Batman Beyond film. The plot would have involved an aged Bruce Wayne, continuing the plot threads from his appearance in The Flash, and would have included the return of Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman. Development on the film was shelved after James Gunn and Peter Safran were appointed as co-heads of DC Studios.

>>149168338
Also the ending of Flash implied the Schuverse was in its "Dark Knight Returns" time period

>>149168406

Well, the original ending was for Batfleck and Cavill Supes to be permanently replaced by Keaton Bat and Sasha's Supergirl.

When all that was canned they did the George Clooney thing as one last "ha ha, remember that movie?" joke.

>>149168128
That adds up, from how slightly exasperated they seemed in the interview compared to the then fresh Glen Murakami I assume Dini and Timm are likely more comfortable with the well developed and received DC material over what they have to create and care for, but I still baselessly assume them managing to have done that at all means more recognition in their direction if Beyond was promoted parallel Batman.

The comics have sporadically popped in and out, but their quality is questionable. Meanwhile even though Arkham Knight ended on the perfect cliffhanger, Cyberpunk 2077 setup the perfect atmosphere and Gotham Knights began with the perfect premise for a Beyond game none of it lead to that, which is more a WB Games matter but it's still odd how clear the homerun was only to result in a fumble like Suicide Squad. It's not like Batman Beyond is unknown or has some hint of franchise poison from ratings to dissuade at least an attempt. Yet here we are, no 2nd animated movie or live action, no game.

>>149168546
Also could explain why Justice League feels so uninspired.
I like Hereafter and the Doctor Destiny story, but outside of that the entire show feels like incredibly generic capeslop that's not up to standards of BTAS/STAS/Beyond.

>>149168112
Cope

>>149168437
Clooney's Bruce is old, unshaven, and retired
Just how DKR Bruce starts off
A new beyond movie would likely incorporate aspects from DKR like Carrie Kelley, and Superman being involved in the main conflict

>>149168597
Burton Batman and Schumacher Batman are separate universes, according to DC.

>all means more recognition in their direction if Beyond was promoted parallel Batman
Anon that's dumb and yes, baseless.
Beyond the Spiderverse being one of the biggest movies of 2023 with Miguel O'Hara being part of it did nothing to help his co-creator, Peter David, from dying nearly broke. The directors aren't household names or have much more power than they did before. Not even Miller and Lord are well known by normies.
If WB was trying to play keep-away from Dini and Timm, they wouldn't be promoting Harley Quinn as much as they do. They're more likely to get actual money from HQ than they do Batman Beyond(DC doesn't seem to give royalties/credit payments for variations of characters vs original ones)
The lack of a Beyond game speaks more to modern game dev being a completely bloated mess than an intentional fumble. And they were going to use Damian anyway. Not hiring Dini to write Knight was more of a slight than not doing Beyond.

>>149168660
The DCEU Terry was meant to be the new Batman while the Pattison Batman series was the more "traditional" series running alongside it.

>>149168679
ok and? The late DCEU plans were changing every two months, which is why it all got nuked for Gunn's single direction. I'm sure they had an idea, they had lots of ideas, but until it actually has something filmed(and maybe not even that) it's hard to call them concrete plans.

>>149168613
I never said anything about Burton
DKR is not Burton, it's Frank Miller,

>>149168814
You think Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns comics and Burton's Batman Returns movie are the same thing

>>149168940
Anon what in the fuck are you talking about at this point? I posted this
>>149168660
and
>>149168128
where did Dark Knight Returns and Batman Returns enter the conversation?

>>149168985
Here >>149168613
Anon thought DKR somehow referred to Burton's movie

>>149167194 (OP)
We do not need a Bat-verse, aka Batman multiverse movie.

>>149169005
ok but that has nothing to do with this train of thought. I'm guessing anon replied to the wrong message in the first place.
that said trying to parse out
>>149168613
>>149168597
I think what anon means is that Clooney Bruce wasn't meant to lead into a DCEU Terry . The DCEU plans were probably with Keaton and not Clooney, who only got put in after Gunn took over and the universe was DOA.

>>149167194 (OP)
I would love a BB movie but not in that hideous spider-verse style. It’s a goddamn headache.

Anime would be a better art style. Preferably with little to no CGI.

Batman Beyond isn't the big threat to DC that you think it is. It was a popular cartoon 26 years ago with a bunch of shitty failed comics that followed it. That's not enough to facilitate a movie.
