the animated series batman of the future It was developed by Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, and Alan Burnett. This is the same creative team that worked on Batman: The Animated Series, among other successful DC animations. The 52 episodes that aired between 1999 and 2001 featured a retired Bruce Wayne, who serves as a mentor to a new Batman, the young Terry McGinnis. The series even inspired a movie called Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000).
It has been speculated that the version in live action would emerge from the events of the coming Flash. However, Michael Keaton’s incarnation of the Dark Knight doesn’t seem to fit Gunn and Safran’s plans either. After so much euphoria to see him resume the mantle of Batman after three decades, the return of the veteran actor is once again marred by administrative decisions.
