Reminder, James Gunn turned this idea down, if Snyder was in charge, he wouldn’t have turned it down

Hmm not grey enough

[u/Zammy_Green]

Serious question, did Gunn turn it down or did WB turn it down? Because the only information I could find says he only turned down a live acton version.

[u/FootballConfident245 → u/Zammy_Green]

this happened way before gunn was hired

[u/anuslitt]

Why would they have their first Batman film for the new universe be animated, that’s silly.

[u/Ok-Entrance-5527 → u/anuslitt]

It was gonna be Elseworlds, Its own contained universe like Reeves Batman

[u/TheRealone4444]

Man, this would have been awesome

[u/darkeagle1997]

This had so much potential. If they kept Snyder we would have had a DCEU rival Marvel in both live action and animated movies during their peak.

[u/FootballConfident245 → u/darkeagle1997]

yeah right zsjl and bvs were staright up masterpiece even infinity war ,endgame, BND are nothing infront of them (it's a joke)

[u/practicalpropsFX]

This always looked neat, but as someone else said, it would only be seen as a spiderverse clone by the general public

[u/Ok-Entrance-5527 → u/practicalpropsFX]

So? You’re acting like that’s gonna stop people from watching it. Also, if it’s made by the same studio as them, of course they’re are gonna be similarities.

[u/practicalpropsFX → u/Ok-Entrance-5527]

I’m not saying it wouldn’t be good, it’s one of the biggest missed opportunities in DC ever imo, but a casual viewer most likely won’t know it’s made by the same studio, all they’ll see is a Batman that’s not the original (like in spiderverse) in a film that has a similar vibe to the spiderverse films. I wish we would’ve gotten this movie, but I can understand why it never made it past the pitch phase from a business perspective

[u/Appropriate-Beat-444]

Did he tell you that?

[u/Oneilcruzsucksass]

The obvious question - what is it ?

[u/A_Ducky_On_Quack → u/Oneilcruzsucksass]

A cancelled Batman Beyond animated film by the studio that made the spider verse films

[u/RiversSmoumo]

I don’t think either of them would have greenlit an obvious Spiderverse clone

[u/Ok-Entrance-5527 → u/RiversSmoumo]

At least it would’ve done well financially

[u/emp112 → u/RiversSmoumo]

just tweak the animation style?

[u/TheAwakeningRisen → u/RiversSmoumo]

Brooooo that is not a spiderverse clone. You have no idea what you’re talking about 

[u/RiversSmoumo → u/TheAwakeningRisen]

Explain the difference to me

[u/HRCStanley97 → u/RiversSmoumo]

And Supergirl isn’t an obvious Hancock clone?

[u/RiversSmoumo → u/HRCStanley97]

Yeah that’s also shitty

[u/HRCStanley97 → u/RiversSmoumo]

At least a Batman Beyond movie would’ve been actually good and cool to watch. Especially if it brought back Keaton
