“#The Animated Series<\/a> Getting a Sequel on HBO Max?<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nEven all these years later, Batman: The Animated Series<\/em><\/strong> is still considered to be the pinnacle of DC animation, and now a new rumor has emerged that a sequel is being worked on with plans for it to debut on HBO Max. The rumor a follow-up is being developed comes courtesy of Kevin Smith’s Fatman Beyond podcast, on which co-host Marc Bernardin shared some of his insider knowledge.<\/p>\n

“HBO Max is looking at making a Batman: The Animated Series sequel that they want to continue that forward.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nAlongside Bernardin’s comments, Smith also offered his two cents, revealing that he too has heard murmurs behind the scenes regarding a proposed sequel to Batman: The Animated Series<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I’m not involved, but I too have heard this, and I’ve heard this from very reliable people.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n


\nOf course, nothing has yet been confirmed, but considering that Warner Bros and HBO Max are still very much in the DC movie business, a sequel to such a critically acclaimed series as Batman: The Animated Series<\/em> is really a no-brainer, especially when the streaming service is looking for projects that will entice subscribers. Anything Batman<\/em> related is usually an easy sell.<\/p>\n

Developed by Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, and Mitch Brian, and produced by Warner Bros. Animation, Batman: The Animated Series<\/em> ran from 1992 to 1995 for a total of total of 85 episodes. Based on the DC Comics superhero, Batman, the series explores various adventures undertaken by Gotham’s Dark Knight, and finds the vigilante tackling a whole host of iconic villains including The Joker, Catwoman, the Riddler, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Ra’s al Ghul, The Penguin, The Scarecrow, Killer Croc, and Bane, as well as a fewer lesser-known adversaries such as the Mad Hatter, and the Man-Bat.<\/p>\n

The show is well-remembered for its thematic complexity, film noir aesthetics, and more adult-oriented, darker tone, as well as its recognizable theme<\/a> tune and quintessential voice work from the likes of Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne\/Batman and Star Wars’<\/em> Mark Hamill as The Joker. Batman: The Animated Series<\/em> also introduced the character Harley Quinn to Batman<\/em> lore, and spawned several feature films, including 1993’s Batman: Mask of the Phantasm<\/em>, which many still consider to be the greatest movie ever made based on the DC superhero.<\/p>\n

Talk of a sequel is interesting, especially considering that Batman: The Animated Series<\/em> has already received a sequel series in the form of Batman Beyond<\/em>. Airing between 1999 and 2001, Batman Beyond<\/em> picks up with the DC icon in 2039 and follows the adventures of Terry McGinnis, a teenager on the wrong side of the tracks, who is taken under the wing of an elderly and retired Bruce Wane. Driven by remorse and vengeance, and gifted with a high-tech bat-suit, McGinnis uses all the gadgets and training Bruce can throw at him to take down criminals in the harsh, crime-ridden Neo-Gotham.<\/p>\n

This series, along with the likes of the television series Justice League<\/em> and Justice League Unlimited<\/em> managed to fill in a lot of the gap between Batman: The Animated Series<\/em> and the future of 2039, not leaving too much room for a straight up sequel. Regardless, more material set in the Batman: The Animated Series<\/em> universe is certainly an intriguing prospect and is surely something that fans would love to see. This comes to us from Kevin Smith’s Fatman Beyond<\/a>.<\/p>\n
