All I ask is that they get Jonah Nolan to write the villains for a Beyond flick.
Nobody speechifies like a Nolan villain.*
* Ignore Talia.
The Nolan films cast the villains perfectly, and wrote them perfectly (IMO) to boot. I wanna see that purity used for the Beyond villains, which are lesser-known so there's more leeway to use the creatively.

Yeah, as long as Nolan stays far away from this, I'd be all for it.

I'm still all for Clint Eastwood to be Batman rather than Michael Keaton.
This would be a wonderful addition to the big pile of things DC is supposedly working on getting off the ground (Sandman, Wonder Woman, Metal Men, Aquman, etc). That said, I don't see them doing it because I don't know if audiences would accept a Batman that's not Bruce Wayne.
Though I get why DC is looking into it. They can reboot Batman, but do something entirely different from Nolan's stuff. Plus, you can have a modern day Batman in JL and have Terry in Beyond set like 30 years in the future (start the movie with a monologue of Bruce recounting the adventures of the Justice League). But again, I just don't see them giving it the green light.

My friend has been saying this ever since Batman was rebooted.

I remember Blight and Spellbinder having great potential. But asides from Inque, I remember nobody else.
Maybe just use Blight as an origin story and create original villains?

Eastwood is never going to happen.
The chances of this movie actually happening are even less.

kinda telling when one of the show's strongest villains was Mr. Freeze.

They just need to make the next Batman the ultimate super genius kung fu master that he is.
They can't go too crazy if they're eventually gonna make him part of a team with Superman. Or can they make Beyond Batman work in a Justice League like setting?
I guess we are talking about the Synder-verse here, so maybe anything is possible.
I for one want classic Batman that's prepared for every possible situation. Super genius that can hold his own against anything.

I never cared for the cartoon of Batman Beyond. I would still probably prefer this direction over a straight reboot.
What about the villains from the comics?
This would be great.
It was probably going to happen in Young Justice, since season 3 was suppose to have a 30 year timeskip.
Then Cartoon Network went full retard again.

Makes too much sense which means it will not happen 
Might work.
There were also a few reoccurring villains like
-Shriek
-Royal Flush Gang
-Jokerz
-Mad Stan
-Cobra
Shriek might be kinda interesting (Sound and all that jazz), but that's about it.
A live action Batman Beyond would be amazing but there so are many ways it could go wrong.
I'm still holding out hope when they do the Batman film that suppose to take place in the Man of Steel universe they simply remake Heart of Ice. Undo the damage done by Batman & Robin with Mr. Freeze. Approach the story with the tone shown in Arkham City and this from Batman Beyond must be in it. Here's that full scene plus Terry's first encounter with Blight. Damn Batman Beyond was a good show.

I thought Ra's al Ghul was sort of eternal thanks to the Lazarus Pits. If so why couldn't he show up in the BB universe?
One villain nobody really remembers because he didn't get any kind of costume or superhero name or anything is that one doctor from the episode April Moon. I cannot believe they got away with ending it the way they did, with him taking a drill to the eye of the teenage villains of the episode. If there had been a season 3, I'd have expected him to develop into one of the nastiest villains in the show.
There was also Charlie Big Time, who I thought was good because he actually shared a past with Terry and was one of the few villains he went out of his way to try and redeem.

It wont happen guys ;_;

you can't put a price on sparks
this would be great.
If they cast the right people and hire the right staff, yea.
RDJ owes his new found success to Marvel, and Marvel owes the Iron Man film franchises success to RDJ. It was really a match made in heaven.
But Marvel put films out for fucking Hulk, HULK, and Captain America. I wouldn't consider them on every kid or persons cool list before those films.
But whatever, I'd most definitely see a Batman Beyond film, but there are things I'd choose before it. Green Lantern was so bad, I almost forgot he had a movie, if you want to call it that.
All depends on the team you get together. Nail the casting + write and direct a movie that catches on with the public and any character is liable to shoot up in popularity.
Batman Beyond is lucky in that it has the Batman name attached to it. It's when they start getting into properties like Aquaman and Metal Men (which are apparently being tossed around for adaptations among a few others) that it's going to get tricky.
We practically destroyed all the problems. The suit can be a light light armor.
It can follow in any of the previous batman universes. With the future view, its a great way to sell the whole daft punk community.
What I would like to see is they do Mr. Freeze.
Hes a easy one shot character, keeps his wife on ice to one day cure her disease or whatever. does alot of crime. freezes stuff.
Arnolds Freeze was too flashy for a scientist.whatever,that whole movie was a joke.
Regardless, Terry gets the armors,brings it back, trys agains,mr freeze goes crazy,que old batman tries but fails, terry talks with bruce. terry wears armor. uses 22nd technology on mr. freeze. hero wins. freeze disappears or is dead. movie over.
They need to let batman series in relation to his history over. and like wolverine,start on his side stories.

Marvel wants too much money for non flashy characters. Cap,Hulk,Thor got stories to push books. Iron Man,due to movie fame,has been a wandering story. I bet they are really hoping on the Wolverine. Because I still have no clue how they will sell GoG.
