DC followers know that one of the seminal tales pertains to Bruce Wayne in his older years, who’s now mentoring a a lot youthful Batman within the type of Terry McGinnis. The basic story, created by Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, and Alan Burnett, happened as a sequel to the beloved “Batman: The Animated Collection” in 1999, gaining a cult following through the years till the present standing of being thought-about one of many foremost DC tales ever instructed. In that gentle, it isn’t terribly shocking that Warner Bros. would have thought-about getting into manufacturing on a number of variations of “Batman Past” — however particularly in animated kind, given the increase offered by “Into the Spider-Verse.”

In response to this report, screenwriter Daniel Casey would have stepped as much as put his personal spin on the well-known premise, having lately penned the script for the high-octane “Quick and Livid” sequel “F9: The Quick Saga.” There isn’t any telling what different filmmakers would’ve been concerned or precisely how this venture would’ve differentiated itself from both Christina Hodson’s live-action tackle “Batman Past” and even the well-received animated sequence. Whereas Sneider’s phrasing appears to point that it hasn’t been completely axed as of but, it will appear seemingly that this was one other venture that ended up on the slicing room ground after Gunn and Safran took over and started the method of unifying the disparate parts of DC movies in numerous phases of improvement. To not point out, Kevin Conroy, the longtime voice-over performer of Batman and Bruce Wayne, tragically handed away in 2022.
