and pitched a 𝘉𝘢𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘉𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 Animated Feature.



Before we pitched, they warned us "there is absolutely no way we can do a 𝘉𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 movie", but they loved our enthusiasm. We pitched the outline for the entire film, and what started as a 'never' turned into a 'maybe'.



In the time since, we've been pitching our way up the company hoping to get to

. But for now, here's a taste of what we've been cooking.

Really playing up that Cyberpunk aesthetic. I like it.

If they just straight up rip off the animation style of Spiderverse Neo Gotham could end up looking incredibly cool

If nothing else the idea to apparently use Inque for it makes me kind of interested because she was by far the best villain the show had.

Sounds like an amazing tax write off.

What about Blight?

“Blah Blah blah we want our own spiderverse and spiderverse money”.

Dont got my hopes up for that reason alone.

But i f***ing love Batman Beyond. I think o only religiously watched a few episodes, plus when he came back in the justice league whatever and the joker movie - But the concept is money. It always has been. These studios have had multiple ample opportunities to take a stab at it and noooooope.

I can't wait for this to be greenlit and then never see the light of day because Zaslav made it a tax write off.

Ehhhh. He has his moments but a lot of the time he comes off like kind of a reheated Luthor and then the show just kind of lets his storyline fizzle out without really bothering to resolve it.

You have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

[A Platypus Rave]

Heh.

I mean why not... most of the villains from Batman Beyond were pretty much inspired by Spider-man and especially the 2099 setting... (yeah it's a pretty generic cyberpunk future but there's A LOT of cross over between BB and Spider-man)

hey! He is not a reheated Lex Luthor... he is a nuclear Norman Osborne >_>

I'm sorry, a Batman Beyond movie with the visual style of the Spiderverse movies?? *Please* my dick can only get *so erect*

[Lizuka #BLM]

Really I think kind of a problem you'd run into with this whole premise is that the whole thing would kind of so obviously come off as a Spider-Verse knockoff that it might turn off casual Batman fans in the marketing? The fact that Batman Beyond itself is kind of happily stealing everything it can from Spider-Man (both original and 2099 flavors) to begin with doesn't really help.

Heh.

Not sure how far into the future this is set, so I can only assume by this point, George Costanza's son Seven maybe has a son of his own working there as a latex salesman.

Only if Michael Keaton is Bruce

Oooo that would be good. I mean they shouldn't just make him Batman 89 but it would work.

[Mozenrath]

Shway.
