“Batman Beyond” takes fans into a Gotham of the future, where Bruce Wayne is not fit anymore to protect the city. He passes down his mantle to Terry McGinnis, a 16-year-old high school student. The 1999 TV Show was a huge hit and fans have since clamored for a cinematic revival of the futuristic Dark Knight.

However, news coming from DC might throw some cold water on these hopes. Just like fans, the producers too had considered bringing back the story at some points. However, at last, the story of McGinnis was kept on a halt from making a comeback in the DC Animated Universe.

Few heroes hold the cultural prestige of Batman. The Dark Knight’s persona, pursuit of justice, and iconic silhouette have cemented him as a mainstay in all of fiction. Batman is mostly linked only to Bruce Wayne, the billionaire playboy who dons the cowl by night.
A still from Batman Beyond (1999)
However, the mantle has been passed down in the comics and animations, most notably in the “Batman Beyond” series (1999-2001), which introduced Terry McGinnis as a new Batman in a futuristic Gotham. Fans have long clamored for a movie adaptation of “Batman Beyond,” and a new piece of fan art has ignited renewed excitement.

Batman has always been a character to strike great admiration among fans of the DC Universe. The Caped Crusader has always had a massive fanbase that has followed all versions, regardless of what cape they wear, or if they even wear one. The one variant that sticks out in front of all of the different Bruce Waynes is the character in Batman Beyond, which can be largely credited to the 1999 animated series.

The series became so iconic and the character became so loved that there have been attempts to make an animated feature that introduces him in a completely new light. Patrick Harpin and Yuhki Demers revealed something interesting about the potential project.

Concept art and pitches are generally not our bag, but what if some of the team members behind Sony’s dynamic and visually arresting “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse” franchise could do for Batman, what the ‘Spider-Verse’ team did for Spider-Man? That’s kind of the pitch, it seems. Yuhki Demers, a production designer at Netflix and visual development member on both ‘Spider-Verse’ films, revealed that he and director Patrick Harpin (“My Dad The Bounty Hunter”) pitched a “Batman Beyond” animated movie to Warner Bros.

Everyone has their Batman, the version of the Caped Crusader that first springs to the forefront of their minds whenever someone utters the name "Bruce Wayne." Typically, your Batman is the one you had as a child first falling in love with the comic book world of Gotham City, and for a generation of people, their Batman was Kevin Conroy. Conroy was the definitive voice of Batman in DC animated television shows, feature films, and video games for over three decades, with many viewing "Batman: The Animated Series" from Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski to be one of the best (if not the best) interpretations of the Dark Knight ever created.
That series concluded in 1995, but spawned numerous spin-offs. One of the most popular and memorable was 1999's "Batman Beyond," a show created and developed by Timm, Paul Dini, and Alan Burnett in a moment of desperation that became the...

Exciting news for Batman fans is buzzing through the grapevine. A stunning new pitch for an animated ‘Batman Beyond’ movie is making rounds, and it’s coming from some pretty big names in animation. The creative force behind this fresh take includes Patrick Harpin, known for ‘My Dad the Bounty Hunter’, and Yuhki Demers, who brought his magic to ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ and its sequel. This dynamic duo has set their sights on bringing the futuristic Gotham to life, and the sneak peeks they’ve shared are nothing short of breathtaking.
For the past six months, Harpin and Demers have been knocking on Warner Bros.’ doors, trying to get the green light for their project.

When The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder debuted last year on Disney+, it called back to the bygone era of Black TV sitcoms in which its 2001 Disney Channel predecessor shined. One where Black families, culture and people were not only celebrated on the small screens in living rooms across the country, but the central focal point of multiple simultaneously airing (though mostly live-action) series.
Its return on Feb. 3, however, pointed to a stunning reality. While the original series aired in the 2000s alongside a handful of animated kids shows also featuring Black leads, including Filmore!, Static Shock, Tutenstein and Little Bill, there has since been only a handful of animated shows aimed at non-adult audiences that explicitly center Black leads and, more specifically, their families.

On the surface My Dad the Bounty Hunter is a typical fun kid-friendly animated adventure series. Venture a little deeper and it becomes apparent that this is a space story grounded in a family dynamic that will resonate with all ages. Terry (Laz Alonso) is a galactic bounty hunter named Sabo Brok who takes on jobs from some bad dudes. He does it to support his two kids Lisa (Priah Ferguson) and Sean (JeCobi Swain). Unfortunately, being away from home so much meant not being there for them the way he would have wanted and ultimately caused a separation from his wife Tess (Yvonne Orji). From creators and executive producers Everett Downing (Hair Love) and Patrick Harpin (Hotel Transylvania 2), the Netflix show really picks up when Lisa and Sean sneak aboard Terry’s ship and find out quickly what their father really does for a living. Talk about an epic future Career Day presentation!

Netflix Animation showcased a bevy of upcoming, diverse projects this week at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival: That included the unveiling of a scene from the anticipated Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio; the world premiere of Oscar winner Chris Williams’ original The Sea Beast, which premieres July 8 on the streaming service; and new footage from Henry Selick and Jordan Peele’s stop-motion Wendell & Wild.
