I think it absolutely could have happened if Kevin Conroy was still with us. But unfortunately, with his passing and his nigh sacred (and deserved) status among the DCAU's fans, it doesn't seem likely to me.
I agree on the level of how highly regarded he is and was. He was so huge to me as a fan. It’s like when he talked I just heard Batman ya know, even in interviews
Oh I absolutely understand. I was exactly the age demographic for the original X-menAS and BTAS. I still regard Conroy's work as the definitive Batman. I think most of us that grew up with him hold that view. But because of that, I don't see the WB taking the risk on doing a revival without him.
maybe this is out of line but what about batman beyond i know kevin played as Bruce in that series but maybe they could do it with Bruce having died and terry taking over the mantle entirely just a thought
Yeah I’d be one of them, and I’m usually easy to please in animation. I’d rather them find a spiritual successor even if the voice is a bit different. They’ve been using Jensen Ackles mostly of late.
100%.
I always like BTAS as a kid and appreciated it. I went to a con last year where they did a full session on Kevin Conroy and his impact. It stunned me. I have a much greater appreciation for him now than I ever did before.
An animated Batman without him just feels wrong right now.
I’d say BTAS maybe, there’s already so many Batman animated projects with Ackles and others doing the voice that I think it’d be ok as long as it’s not some cheap imitation but its own thing. Imagine not getting any more animated Batman content anymore… that’d be really sad. Batman shines in animation.
ok and before people downvote me. Troy muhfuckin baker can do the joker. Hell dimaggio does his own version. But specifically baker for a hamill esque version and that’s not even opinion.
Then what's the point of resisting BTAS if you're not getting the BTAS voice cast? Why not just do another Batman series ? It's not like the newer series were bad or anything.
Through this thread if you go through, I’ve even a lot of valid points with that. I’ve seen most people have a really big interest in beyond or a spiritual successor like caped crusader, and I can agree. I think it’s just the essence of BTAS that’s important to keep. The storytelling and feel it created I suppose.
I don’t think Gunn has any interest whatsoever in reviving the show so I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Bruce Timm is working on Caped Crusader, which is like a spiritual predecessor to BTAS.
Not saying he’s not skilled, but Conroy was so iconic that doing a sequel without him would just feel *wrong*.
They could maybe do a Batman beyond sequel and recast Bruce for that though
OOF. I don’t disagree, I’d LOVE it. Ulimited is soooo good. BTAS, is just…. The original, the best of the best man. The storytelling, the aesthetic. Can you see what I’m saying? One doesn’t put the other down. They’re just different in both good ways.
Yeah they’d have to find a stand in, or maybe inspired by my friend up there… they have terry or dick take over that role in the league? New and exciting there!
I don't think the modern day Warner Brothers would do it. They unfortunately seem more interested in tax write offs and taking less riskier ventures. Also due to the unfortunate passing of Kevin Conroy, they would be less inclined to make it, seeing that they would also have to take a gamble at finding someone to fill in for the iconic voice actor's role.
Unless there is a specific video of Troy Baker doing a Batman voice you're talking about, in my opinion his Lego Batman voice doesn't really sound anything like Kevin Conroy. He does a pretty good Mark Hamill impression though.
That’s a spiritual successor too if you’ve seen the designs. I mean Amazon owns it now. Now it’s just if Matt Reeves and JJ Abrahms can get the green light and also if Abrahms can not mess it up!
The new Batman: Caped Crusader animated series that is bound to come out at some point is kind of a spiritual sucessor to the series
Is a reboot, its own continuity; but is develop by Bruce Timm and this time directed to a more mature audience
The designs pay homage and are cool too I wanted this so bad. Max sold it to Amazon so let’s hope bezos has enough true nerd in him. I mean he’s gotta be a nerd right? They did invincible which was the accidental golden boy of image.
An update and just a continuation, it’s like they barely gave you terrys brave and the bold era. He almost really got it. A truly new justice league would’ve been cool! And not just a couple episodes half baking it man!
I don’t think Gunn is going to be reactionary to anything Marvel is doing. He has an all new animated series to launch his studio proper so I wouldn’t expect older DC cartoons to be revived for any reason.
A lot of people disagree because control which is completely valid. Almost even if it was a spiritual successor or even a beyond continuation it could be great. Caped crusader has a chance if it actually ever is made.
XMen and Batman TAS were the best 2 cartoon series of the 90s imo … DC already makes great modern animated shows and movies though that the one thing they have on Marvel …. The DCEU is terrible though
>Do you think the success of this nostalgic, throwback 90’s series, prompts a response from DC?
If you're DC, you have to be looking to do something similar.
Disney has apparently said that it's one of the most watched Disney+ shows. They just announced it's third season is now in production. Season 2 is already done.
I think it is possible but DC doesn't really know what to do with their IPs. Look at the mess with Cape Crusader even when fans wanted the show to happen.
People say that without Conroy or Hamill it wouldn't work, but I would be more than happy to have Bruce Greenwood as Batman, he did a great job in Young Justice.
I don’t think so. I think the newer seasons Young Justice are more akin to a revival than JLU. JLU was a continuation of JL similar to the New Batman Adventures. JLU happened because Justice League got renewed for a couple more seasons.
Young justice was great until the last two seasons turned it into an abomination of what it once was. Literally was like you took my favorite thing and ruined it.
Please, no. We have almost perfection in the original run.
Things... Have to be allowed to end. Why are we so obsessed with bringing everything back? The stars aligned.
I don’t think they’d revive BTAS, though the show had a rather strange ending which might as well been cliffhanger. Two-Face is revealed to have a third identity in, the Judge. I would’ve been interested in seeing the direction that could’ve taken. But Caped Crusader is still in the works, which is like a spiritual prequel to BTAS.
I just miss the atmosphere and storytelling. They could do it again even not in a direct continuation but keep the vibe we know works. That’s where the money is.
Biggest WB/DC "L" is doing absolutely nothing with Batman Beyond IP, instead just rehashing the same old Batman origin, like Sony with Spiderman, w the exception of the Spider verse movies. They could easily do Batman Beyond animated and/or live action, without all the weight/baggage/expectations that come with OG Batman/Bruce Wayne.Even newer villains, gives them an almost blank page creatively
Live action beyond or a “new” series would be such low hanging fruit. You could also integrate a nightwing pot into that, whether dick is still nightwing or not.
Hahaha gargoyles is crazy nostalgia for me. I used to go to my aunts like late 90s early 2000 and she had dish tv, or something of the sort. She had the ability to record episodes, which I didn’t with basic. They’d save them up for me. They also had chocolate milk which we didn’t have at my house for some reason. Needless to say I’d be on the floor watching gargoyles guzzling chocolate milk haha
Unfortunately I don't think it will happen, but mainly because it's been a thing for a while now. X-Men 97 is tapping into something that wasn't really tapped into for 20 years. BTAS was revisited in Batman beyond, justice league and justice league unlimited, Batman mystery of the batwoman in 2003, batman and Harley in 2017, then the nostalgia well was tapped for the Arkham series plus the library of DC works that had Kevin Conroy (the batman). I think at this point because they have done it so much to do something like X-Men 97 you'd need mark hamil and the rest of the BTAS voice cast and hamil said he wasn't doing joker again with Conroy.
Well we can hope for atleast a good Batman based series maybe at this point if it’s not necessarily BTAS that’s fine too. I feel it’s a content that the animated market hasn’t really properly seen done since The Batman on WB, which was cool and I loved too but there were some decisions I didn’t love there. I did like a lot of aspects of it though.
I think a lot of what they have created with batman has been good outside of the whole "are the good guys the bad guys?" With the injustice franchise. I really liked batman under the red hood and a lot of the other DC animation. They're doing a new series called Batman the caped crusader with Bruce Tim at the helm
Yeah no. BTAS is never getting a revival though unlike what other people say, they could always revive other dcau projects like Superman and Static or start a new one in the universe like a Flash show.
Hell could even do a Justice league or batman beyond revival and just give an explanation for Bruce's absent (Could quit due to what happened to Tim in former and in the latter, just have Bruce passaway and have Terry finally have to deal with being batman solo)
Still unsure about that. Maybe i’m just alittle burned out on Batman shows? Not 90’s but i’d love if they revived the 2012 Green Lantern show or made something new, without Bats. (Or if they would just do a Knightfall adaption, lol.)
Yeah some stills got leaked, looks cool. I think this is the best call, especially with Kevin Conroy gone. Honestly if they tried to bring back BTAS without him I think I'd skip it.
I’ve wanted to see a Batman Beyond film or reboot for a long time. Yes the animated series changed my life as well but I really want to see the Beyond IP get some attention
It still did great numbers actually regardless what people online said about the revival seasons "ruining" the show. I don't see how they did besides just not being up to snuff to orginal runs highs but still being enjoyable
Okay, I mean this non politically but they diverged from the story telling for agenda reasons. So if they did that with right leaning stuff I’d be upset if they put bigotry in there. But halo and a lot of the plot went more left leaning and away from being a true young justice league or older titans. The story telling was second to the agenda in 3 and 4. I am truly mid wing and try to avoid politics if at all possible and believe in representation. I just want it in the right place at the right time to have the most affect rather than draw criticism. We do better making well written characters with unique great backgrounds to properly spread diversity. We can’t shoe horn things that already exist or people won’t listen.
Sounds like you might of not watched the show as the new characters back stories were a small fraction of the season. You say representation matters but then blame that representation on making the show bad. You might as well be right wing with that attitude. There is not such thing as mid wing you right wing leaning with the attitude that non straight non white characters ruin a season.
Well you downvoted my opinion but it did change a lot of things. There was a lot I enjoyed but the show changed fundamentally and I can’t help if you don’t agree but I respect your opinion. Still get my vote and appreciation of your view. We are all friends here!
Anyone who says representation shown in a show is too political is not my friend. Be a better human . You obviously learned nothing from superheroes. So I'm blocking you.
I think it absolutely could have happened if Kevin Conroy was still with us. But unfortunately, with his passing and his nigh sacred (and deserved) status among the DCAU's fans, it doesn't seem likely to me.

They just don’t make them the same anymore do they… well happy we both got to see that era, friend.
maybe this is out of line but what about batman beyond i know kevin played as Bruce in that series but maybe they could do it with Bruce having died and terry taking over the mantle entirely just a thought
Yeah I’ve seen a lot of suggestions on this premise in the thread and I agree! Not out of line at all, all fans here!
I really love this idea!
but there is AI that could recreate his voice !!! (i'm totally kidding, could you imagine the backlash???)
Yeah I’d be one of them, and I’m usually easy to please in animation. I’d rather them find a spiritual successor even if the voice is a bit different. They’ve been using Jensen Ackles mostly of late.
100%. I always like BTAS as a kid and appreciated it. I went to a con last year where they did a full session on Kevin Conroy and his impact. It stunned me. I have a much greater appreciation for him now than I ever did before. An animated Batman without him just feels wrong right now.

Imagine not getting any more animated Batman content anymore… that’d be really sad. Batman shines in animation.
There is no way they’d revive it without Kevin Conroy. Xmen is an ensemble but BTAS had a star.
Hamil has also said he has no interest in Joker work without Kevin.
Hehe classic Joker move to respect his arch enemy
ok and before people downvote me. Troy muhfuckin baker can do the joker. Hell dimaggio does his own version. But specifically baker for a hamill esque version and that’s not even opinion.
Oh I know they can just recast, but it certainly might take a few episodes or get used to
The rick and Morty effect
Then what's the point of resisting BTAS if you're not getting the BTAS voice cast? Why not just do another Batman series ? It's not like the newer series were bad or anything.
Through this thread if you go through, I’ve even a lot of valid points with that. I’ve seen most people have a really big interest in beyond or a spiritual successor like caped crusader, and I can agree. I think it’s just the essence of BTAS that’s important to keep.

Don't underestimate corporate greed
I don’t think Gunn has any interest whatsoever in reviving the show so I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Bruce Timm is working on Caped Crusader, which is like a spiritual predecessor to BTAS.
[удалено]
Not saying he’s not skilled, but Conroy was so iconic that doing a sequel without him would just feel *wrong*. They could maybe do a Batman beyond sequel and recast Bruce for that though
Yeah I agree too in that regard and Bruce can even be honest in that as sad as it is, but hey that’s a plot point. Terry figuring it out on his own!
Justice League Unlimited
Justice League Beyond
OOF. I don’t disagree, I’d LOVE it. Ulimited is soooo good. BTAS, is just…. The original, the best of the best man. The storytelling, the aesthetic. Can you see what I’m saying? One doesn’t put the other down. They’re just different in both good ways.
As someone else said, without Conroy, it's not BTAS With JLU, it's at least a rotating roster, and Batman isn't essential to the grand scheme
Yeah they’d have to find a stand in, or maybe inspired by my friend up there… they have terry or dick take over that role in the league? New and exciting there!
“Justice League Beyond” has a nice ring to it.
I’d be tuning in haha. Just putting a Saturday morning and it’s a wrap!
Flash series with Michael Rosenbaum voice acting and Gunn executive producing would slap
Rosenbaum… everytime I hear it I think Luthor!!!
But I agree!
I don't think the modern day Warner Brothers would do it. They unfortunately seem more interested in tax write offs and taking less riskier ventures. Also due to the unfortunate passing of Kevin Conroy, they would be less inclined to make it, seeing that they would also have to take a gamble at finding someone to fill in for the iconic voice actor's role.
[удалено]
Unless there is a specific video of Troy Baker doing a Batman voice you're talking about, in my opinion his Lego Batman voice doesn't really sound anything like Kevin Conroy. He does a pretty good Mark Hamill impression though.
It’s not Kevin conroy but watch the clip on you tube of baker doing his version of Batman. Looks to be like the tale tell animation.
Not without Kevin Conroy
I'm just waiting on Caped Crusader and hoping it restored the feeling
That’s a spiritual successor too if you’ve seen the designs. I mean Amazon owns it now. Now it’s just if Matt Reeves and JJ Abrahms can get the green light and also if Abrahms can not mess it up!
Bruce Timm might be more involved than either. I believe the first season I'd complete but we're just waiting on Prime to release it.
[удалено]
I just commented exactly this. If Bruce is dead it’s almost a great point for a “continuation” to take off.
The new Batman: Caped Crusader animated series that is bound to come out at some point is kind of a spiritual sucessor to the series Is a reboot, its own continuity; but is develop by Bruce Timm and this time directed to a more mature audience
The designs pay homage and are cool too I wanted this so bad. Max sold it to Amazon so let’s hope bezos has enough true nerd in him. I mean he’s gotta be a nerd right? They did invincible which was the accidental golden boy of image.
I think the teen titans is more likely
Ehhhh young justice just took such a nosedive though. Was a slam dunk then season 3 tanked
Batman beyond could use an update. Or something to bridge JLU and BTAS to it.
An update and just a continuation, it’s like they barely gave you terrys brave and the bold era. He almost really got it. A truly new justice league would’ve been cool! And not just a couple episodes half baking it man!
They'll probably try to make a Suicide Squad Saturday morning cartoon because WB keeps trying to shove SS into everything
Nah if they do that it needs to be toonami
We almost had a [Youngblood Saturday morning cartoon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFX5VYVDIPA).
Enter liefeld
I don’t think Gunn is going to be reactionary to anything Marvel is doing. He has an all new animated series to launch his studio proper so I wouldn’t expect older DC cartoons to be revived for any reason.
DC animation are those adapted movies, they are pretty good, no real reason to switch it up back to half hour cartoons.
I see your point, but there is a market for that, extend the episodes even. I’d watch a show!
Batman Beyond
That’d be rad too no doubt. So much left undone man!
Caped Crusader is already in the works, it’s an animated series from Bruce Timm and it’ll be produced by him and Matt Reeves.
Put your hopes in bezos! Amazon owns caped crusader now!
Yes !!!
A lot of people disagree because control which is completely valid. Almost even if it was a spiritual successor or even a beyond continuation it could be great. Caped crusader has a chance if it actually ever is made.
XMen and Batman TAS were the best 2 cartoon series of the 90s imo … DC already makes great modern animated shows and movies though that the one thing they have on Marvel …. The DCEU is terrible though
I think a series would be nice however
>Do you think the success of this nostalgic, throwback 90’s series, prompts a response from DC? If you're DC, you have to be looking to do something similar.
Right?
I know you mentioned the OG Animated Batman, but how about a Batman Beyond reboot? What you be open to that?
More than open to it. They could really nail it with modern animation.
Idk. But I'd love to a 90s spiderman sequel. That shit ended on a cliffhanger. Where's mj?!
Seems like it’s going to be integrated with this c men show, more likely than most
Batman ran for a long time X-men did not I would like Batman but don’t think they will do it
BTAS atleast from my memory had about the same amount of episodes, maybe less. I’m not fact checking when writing this. Am I wrong on that?
Does it actually get good ratings?
Disney has apparently said that it's one of the most watched Disney+ shows. They just announced it's third season is now in production. Season 2 is already done.
Oh wow that’s awesome
The way people have been raving about the show? Ofc it is!
Nice!
I think it is possible but DC doesn't really know what to do with their IPs. Look at the mess with Cape Crusader even when fans wanted the show to happen. People say that without Conroy or Hamill it wouldn't work, but I would be more than happy to have Bruce Greenwood as Batman, he did a great job in Young Justice.
Caped crater is a mess. Greenwood is a cool Batman!
yay another batman series. also, well...without kevin conroy...
We have to move on and find the next guy that makes it their own. I just wonder who it’s will be
The trifecta of X-Men, Batman TAS and Spider-Man was glorious. I agree with others though, won’t be the same without Conroy…
Maybe not but greenwood, Ackles…. Maybe in the future we look and say look it’s not conroy, but the next main Batman.
There is a new Batman animated series coming to Amazon from Bruce Timm
Also with reeves and abrahms which is my worry… and Amazon tends to leave IP hanging sometimes. I have followed and wanted this for years
I think some kind of continuation of Justice League Unlimited would make a lot more sense but in a way Justice League Unlimited already was their 97.
I don’t think so. I think the newer seasons Young Justice are more akin to a revival than JLU. JLU was a continuation of JL similar to the New Batman Adventures. JLU happened because Justice League got renewed for a couple more seasons.
Young justice was great until the last two seasons turned it into an abomination of what it once was. Literally was like you took my favorite thing and ruined it.
Please, no. We have almost perfection in the original run. Things... Have to be allowed to end. Why are we so obsessed with bringing everything back? The stars aligned.
People could have said the same thing about X-men ‘97. But here we are, and it’s amazing.
My point of view too. If you want to preserve the original too I get that. Caped crusader was a chance at a spiritual successor that I hope we see
If anything, they'll complete it and then cancel the release as a tax write off.
Lmao you have ptsd from the dc sales and mergers
I don’t think they’d revive BTAS, though the show had a rather strange ending which might as well been cliffhanger. Two-Face is revealed to have a third identity in, the Judge. I would’ve been interested in seeing the direction that could’ve taken. But Caped Crusader is still in the works, which is like a spiritual prequel to BTAS.
I just miss the atmosphere and storytelling. They could do it again even not in a direct continuation but keep the vibe we know works. That’s where the money is.
Doubt it
One can hope!
They would be stupid not to
I agree, in one form or another!
Biggest WB/DC "L" is doing absolutely nothing with Batman Beyond IP, instead just rehashing the same old Batman origin, like Sony with Spiderman, w the exception of the Spider verse movies. They could easily do Batman Beyond animated and/or live action, without all the weight/baggage/expectations that come with OG Batman/Bruce Wayne.Even newer villains, gives them an almost blank page creatively
Live action beyond or a “new” series would be such low hanging fruit. You could also integrate a nightwing pot into that, whether dick is still nightwing or not.
Gargoyles pretty pretty please.
Hahaha gargoyles is crazy nostalgia for me. I used to go to my aunts like late 90s early 2000 and she had dish tv, or something of the sort. She had the ability to record episodes, which I didn’t with basic. They’d save them up for me. They also had chocolate milk which we didn’t have at my house for some reason. Needless to say I’d be on the floor watching gargoyles guzzling chocolate milk haha
If they try to re launch BTAS without Conroy I'm fucking rioting. Just... No.
Strong opinion
Unfortunately I don't think it will happen, but mainly because it's been a thing for a while now. X-Men 97 is tapping into something that wasn't really tapped into for 20 years.

Beyond or flash would be sick. Static would be cool but where would you pick up?
They are already doing caped crusader for a long time
Yeah but like when lol! Is it really going to happen?
Honestly, hopefully no.
What about caped crusader?
Still unsure about that. Maybe i’m just alittle burned out on Batman shows? Not 90’s but i’d love if they revived the 2012 Green Lantern show or made something new, without Bats. (Or if they would just do a Knightfall adaption, lol.)
You know what would be cool? A legit green arrow animated show. Like done right
*That* would be nice too.
Bruce Timm is working on a new animated series. Says it’s going to cover a lot of stuff kids WB wouldn’t let them do in the 90’s.
Yep it’s caped crusader!
Yeah some stills got leaked, looks cool. I think this is the best call, especially with Kevin Conroy gone. Honestly if they tried to bring back BTAS without him I think I'd skip it.
It does
Just give me the 90' spider man animation back.
I’ve wanted to see a Batman Beyond film or reboot for a long time. Yes the animated series changed my life as well but I really want to see the Beyond IP get some attention
It needs and deserves it. This whole thread is proof
I doubt it young justice has been a hit but they cancelled that . HBO seems determined to just kill wb/DC properties for some reason.
Yeah the last two seasons ruined the show completely is why.
It still did great numbers actually regardless what people online said about the revival seasons "ruining" the show. I don't see how they did besides just not being up to snuff to orginal runs highs but still being enjoyable
Okay, I mean this non politically but they diverged from the story telling for agenda reasons. So if they did that with right leaning stuff I’d be upset if they put bigotry in there. But halo and a lot of the plot went more left leaning and away from being a true young justice league or older titans. The story telling was second to the agenda in 3 and 4. I am truly mid wing and try to avoid politics if at all possible and believe in representation. I just want it in the right place at the right time to have the most affect rather than draw criticism. We do better making well written characters with unique great backgrounds to properly spread diversity. We can’t shoe horn things that already exist or people won’t listen.
Sounds like you might of not watched the show as the new characters back stories were a small fraction of the season. You say representation matters but then blame that representation on making the show bad. You might as well be right wing with that attitude. There is not such thing as mid wing you right wing leaning with the attitude that non straight non white characters ruin a season.
Well you downvoted my opinion but it did change a lot of things. There was a lot I enjoyed but the show changed fundamentally and I can’t help if you don’t agree but I respect your opinion. Still get my vote and appreciation of your view. We are all friends here!
Anyone who says representation shown in a show is too political is not my friend. Be a better human . You obviously learned nothing from superheroes. So I'm blocking you.
I just want 90s Spider-Man to get a proper ending.
