James Gunn’s enemies and DC fans are about to receive new information to reignite the controversy. And it turns out that both Warner, as well as its subsidiary DC, were planning an animated film about Batman that would run very close to the style of the successful Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
According to him podcast The Hot Mic hosted by Jeff Sneider, there was an animated Batman movie that would be the answer to the spider-man from sony. Commissioned by Walter Hamada, the former head of DC Studios, with the intention of also bringing the series back Batman Beyond.
“This is the project that I’ve heard of that has never been reported, and there are multiple drafts of it,” Sneider said. «Daniel Casey, the screenwriter of fast and furious 9wrote a movie Batman Beyondbut the trick is that it wouldn’t be live-action, because that’s what I was in. [trabajando] Christina Hodson. [Era un] Animated Batman Beyond, to be DC’s answer to Into the Spider-Verse.”
Batman Beyond It was a series that premiered between 1991 and 2001. It told the story of a veteran Batman who had to train a young man named Terry McGinnis to take the mantle. The program was part of the same universe as other successful animated productions such as the famous Batman: The Animated Series.
Already in 2019 it was reported that DC planned to revive this story, but through a live action movie. The same one that the screenwriter Christina Hodson (now the screenwriter of Flash). Said film would feature Kevin Costner as the older version of Bruce Wayne who must train a much younger rookie.
However, little or nothing had been said about an animated film. And James Gunn doesn’t seem to take it into account in his planning. However, Jeff Sneider says that hope should not be lost. Confirmation from him could happen at any time.
«The project was commissioned by Walter Hamada. And to my knowledge, it was never reported,” he commented. But as of this moment, the project is in development in DC. These guys could be called up next week or whatever.”
