The NZA Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 At today’s DC Nation Panel at the Baltimore Comic-Con, DC Comics Senior Story Editor Ian Sattler told a fan who asked about Batman: The Animated Series that a Batman Beyond ongoing series was launching soon. The fan-favorite character, who has a DVD box set upcoming, is currently being featured in a miniseries that makes his adventures canonical within the DC Comics Multiverse for the first time. While the fast-paced nature of a convention panel moved moved right along to the next subject, Sattler’s response piqued Lucas Siegel’s interest and he talked to DC, who verified exclusively to Newsarama that Batman Beyond will be an ongoing monthly series after the current mini is over. There’s been no conversation about a creative team yet, although an ongoing following on the heels of a successful mini often means that the same team will take it on.

Maldron Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 FUCK YEAH. I was just watching Return of the Joker on my iphone this morning. FUCK YEAH. FUCK YEAH! Oh. You know, putting info about a comic book in the anime forum is incredibly misleading. You, sir, are my LEAST favorite Hondonian today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Aaaand a negative one vote. FEEL THE WRATH OF YOUR OWN SYSTEM TURNED AGAINST YOU! Harsh, but appropriate and just. Yeah, this series was so badass back in the day. I remember seeing the commercials for it before it first aired, and there was this overwhelming air of a lame attempt to make Batman "extreme" and "edgier" as conceived by marketing executives with focus groups. While I'm sure that was part of what got the project green lit, and there is definitely a sense of that when you first start watching, a few minutes in you see that there is quality to back up the show's "extreme" look. It took me years to make the connection, but what really made me love this show was that it took everything that made Spider-Man's character so great(high school/teenage stress, taunting bad guys with snappy one-liners, etc) and put in in the world of Batman. Is the mini finished? I'd definitely interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 What the hell's up with moving a thread about an animated series out of the animation forum? :p Awesome. I've always wanted more of this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldron Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 So I read the mini, and enjoyed it thoroughly. My one major, major hitch on it, though, was that they changed Mrs. McGinnis's hair from red to black. The new series proper has also released its first issue, which I also enjoyed. Anybody else still looking at this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Wait, what? Are you talking about the Batman Beyond mini comic that had Terry die and Bruce selling his soul to the Spectre or is there some kind of new animation out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldron Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Was more referring to the one with Hush and Cadmus and Bat-robots, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
