Amazing work here but if you're taking any suggestions or requests how about a DC Universe Beyond. 1. Superman Beyond the son or Grandson of Superman. Dealing with being half alien. 2. Wonder Woman Beyond a mixer with cyberpunk and greek mythology. 3. The Flash Beyond. 4. Green Lantern Beyond 5. Aqua Princess Beyond the youngest daughter of Aquaman and Mera. 6. Martian Man Beyond half earthling half Martian. 7. Green Arrow Beyond. 8. Justice League Beyond
@@jemaka6058 That's...something I guess. Kevin and Tom's cameos were acceptable fan service, but I hate the way they handled the characters. Batman killing criminals and Superman giving up his powers? Odd choices.
Exactly. If this became like a franchise of multiple movies. And Bruce were to be killed off at some point. It'd be cool to see this version of Jason step up and become Terry's new guy in the chair.
I think for the 2nd act scene where Bruce shakes Terry's hand. I think it would be better to take more inspiration from one of the episodes of the Batman Beyond series. I think him saying then let’s get started, Terry. It would be better because later, at the end of the film, you can bring that back and have Bruce call him Batman. He has finally moved on from the mission. And picked his successor. Also, to make it more earned it would be funny to honor the original bit that even in retirement, Bruce still thinks he’s Batman. Like it could be a scene of Bruce locks terry out of the computer. And he can’t guess the password for the life of him. and it’s just simply Batman. Terry could say something funny like “greatest detective my ass.”
I don't even know if Bruce should be calling Terry Batman by the end of the movie. In his mind, Bruce IS Batman. He doesn't even call himself Bruce in his mind he calls himself Batman. I don't think that should change after Terry goes through one Batman adventure. Maybe Jason or even Damien could call him Batman by the end? But really I think it's enough that Terry fully accepts that he's Batman by the end of the movie. Bruce allowing Terry to continue wearing the suit and acting as Batman would be enough. As for when they make their deal to let Terry use the suit to get those drugs off the street, I would imagine it going a little more like: Terry: *holding out his hand to shake* "So we have a deal?" Bruce: *ignoring the offered hand* "Fine." Bruce turns to leave and then says over his shoulder: "But this doesn't make you Batman." Or something like that.
Crazy how Jason and Terry literally have the same personality. people don't want to accept that though. Terry just got written better than Jason and more love. Terry is just a good Jason
I am *so* glad you came up with futures for the Bat-Family members that aren’t just them picking up roles their predecessors had, and that don’t feel like they are stuck in their pasts, but that are still informed by them.
You said the one thing I needed to hear to take this pitch serious. The Batsuit needs to be simple and sleek. If you understand that you show that you understand Batman Beyond.
Late to this, but the image of a young Batman uniting with the Jokerz in a fight against a greater power could be one of the most iconic moments in superhero film history
I know you said she moved to Hong Kong, but I was hoping Cass would've joined Tim and Jason to confront Terry, since she's also one of Bruce's adopted children.
I never liked the idea of Terry being Bruce's biological son because it creates the Idea that the mantle of batman is something that can only be passed through blood. When the whole idea of Batman is that anyone can be a hero even without powers. Anyone can wear the mask that's the message batman beyond should share especially since it did it before spiderverse. So i think it's best that Bruce and Terry aren't related they can still have that father,son mentor and apprentice relationship but there NOT related by blood only by there burning sense of justice. And to best show it I think Terry should be played by an Asian American actor most preferably Charles Melton. I always saw Terry as more Asian than Caucasian in the show and in the comics and im pretty sure in the White Knight he's half Japanese i think. I think it fits and it wont effect the character that much.
@@s-wo8781 Yeah especially since he looked nothing like his parents. There is no resemblance between Terry and his father or his mother honestly until epilogue came along I thought he was adopted. Plus making him half Asian won't effect the character that much just look at invincible Mark Grayson is half Asian American and it's not that big a deal as it doesn't change the character or effect the story.
Bruce pulling the trigger is very poetic, he took the chance to avenge his parents in a symbolic sense, but fate said no. Because he is no longer vengance, he is justice 🍿
I love this video so much and the way of bringing in the old Batfamily. I feel like having Tim be a private detective with Barbra and and Barbra and Dick are married and all are still in contact without talking to Bruce anymore would be also be a great way to say they moved on together and left Bruce behind completely
The biggest wasted potential with batman beyond is Damien Wayne as he could be a great antagonist 1. He has solid motivation as he didn’t have the most normal childhood and Bruce is a not a great parent 2. Blood connection as they are technically half siblings and family dramas are usually fun 3. It would be a good connection to the old batman villains as most of Terry’s villains are original characters 4. His design would be cool af (Also he could be called Ra’s al guhl as it’s more of a title than a name and it’s a hard name)
This literally happened in the comics and he looked dope af. His red monster dog thingy had also grown to be near-kaiju size lol. I think it would be cool if he led an Injustice league Beyond or Legion of Doom beyond.
Not trying to be a rude jerk or anything, but i think it would be made as an Batman Beyond Elseworlds story... despite being an Elseworlds au story or something...
Absolutely beautiful of a pre-write! I think I'm gonna rewatch it again! Also killer moth solo film when troy? I'm sure killer moth will love you as much as you love him
At 13:13 it’s the latter pronunciation of ‘Akira’ that’s more accurate to how a Japanese person would say it. But I still say it like “ah-KEY-ra”most of the time, because most people in the US know it that way. Most have no idea what movie I’m talking about when I try to pronounce it correctly.
I've been thinking of what a Batman Beyond film would be like for years, and I've always just pulled mainly from the TV show thinking that it was the best way to tell the story. But holy shit was I wrong! You were able to blend in elements from the show while also making it uniquely its own canon. I especially loved the inclusion of the Bat-family and how they were all respected. For years I always wondered how an older Bat-family would feel about Bruce's decision to hang up the cowl and leave the city to become Neo Worse...I'll see myself out. But seriously, these are people who all shared a common mission and the majority of there lives together, and I love how you brought them back in. Great video man, definitely one of my favorites!
I have loved watching your prewrites for a while now, but this is just something else. I LOVE this idea for a story. The way you incorporated the members of the bat family is so seamless and impactful; definitely not just throwing them in there for lip service. I would watch the hell out of this movie.
Ngl I was kinda expecting you to say Tim and Steph retired together just because that is my headcanon for the Beyond era but hearing you say husband made me go "oh yeah he's bi"
@@mariogariazzo2024 Tell that to every film, TV, and comic writer in the past decade who seem to believe "Oh, they're bi" is an excuse to suddenly make a character gay when they've had decades worth of hetero relationships. They view sexuality as a binary, you're either into the same sex or the opposite, and if you're bi, then to them it just means you need to get off the damn fence already.
Batman Beyond really does have that corporate mandated sound to it ("Batman in the Future"), so it actually becoming one of my favorite adaptations, if not my favorite adaptation, of Batman through sheer skill and passion in the execution is so cool. A kid from the lower levels of the slums finding purpose with the ability to fly above what he thought his life was meant to be, what everyone thought his life was meant to be, is so powerful; I love how this really focuses in on that aspect. Love that it's actually an adaptation and not just a rehash of the exact same story beats, but in live-action (even though I love Terry's dad being murdered, and everything that builds off of that). And I don't think it just gives the people who haven't watched the show something, but also the people who have and get to almost experience it for the first time again. I love Bruce actually trying to pull the trigger, but it jamming. And how it's in Crime Alley. Jesus. I love that it's actually doing something. Like, it's actually saying something. There's a story here. I feel a lot of people's "pitches" for stories like these are very, just, flat. Kinda boring. They don't really do anything interesting. The whole Bane story here, and Terry being set up for Dick's murder, and the rest of the Bat-Family getting involved, I really love that. Is this your best one? This might be your best one. The lights changing to red, to Terry's bat-signal, gave me chills. "The Batman has returned." That whole scene goes so hard. "Where there is 'apathy,' 'greed,' 'corruption,' 'power,' there is 'hope,' 'honor,' 'courage,' and 'justice.' HOLY SHIT.
I still cant get over the fact that you gave us such a fantastic pitch for a Batman Beyond movie and yet WBD still said no to a Batman Beyond movie akin to the animation Spiderverse and wasted Micheal Keatons return in The Flash (2023) and not on him playing Old Man Bruce Wayne to a live-action Terry McGinnis instead
Since you've done Nightwing, and shown that you understand Redhood, I'd love to see your take on how he'll be done in the new DC movies. Be it bullet points, or a video like this
I adore these prewrite videos so much; they're so much of an inspiration to me as they are beautiful fanmade stories brimming with so much passion for the medium of comics. Keep it up with these awesome videos!! :]
Nah, cuz ending the movie with the words from the shows opening is PEAK CINEMA! Honestly, this a really good interpretation of the world. BB fans like myself have seen the show so we know how things play out, so putting your own spin on it where even we wouldn't know how it would play out was a fun ride.
Trust Me, when The Brave and the Bold Batman Movie is released, Damian's character will be everywhere, Currently, he is popping off in comics, and animated movies, all he needs is a live-action and gaming appearance and he will be cemented as a super popular character. He's like my top 5 fav Batfamily character
@@the_wolfclan05 he's already appeared in gaming, he's the playable Nightwing in Injustice 1 and unplayable Nightwing/playable Robin in Injustice 2. which was bs that Robin was playable but not Nightwing despite him being Nightwing in all but 2 scenes(Flashbacks). Josh Keaton(AKA Spectacular Spiderman/Arkham Timmy) was actually going to be playing a future Batman in an Arkham Project as Damian but that was cancelled, a playable Damian was also set to appear alongside an aged up Timmy(as Red Robin) and Catwoman in a story dlc facing off against Two-Face for Gotham Knights but was scrapped? Its either scrapped or they're slow asl with content considering ive heard they never officially cancelled it(which doesnt always mean its coming out, look at Rockstar Games and some of their games that are long since abandoned but never officially cancelled) Damian fans eating bad in terms of gaming, scrap that they arent eating at all theyre locked in a cage with food thats just out of arms reach. But live action youre right, Titans had a good enough universe and we barely seen Tim as Robin. It would've been good to see Damian show up eventually if it continued.
Post credit scene Tim Drake is watching a VHS tape of The bat families, best family memories as he watches them. It starts out sincere, but as he goes in, he starts laughing at a humor scene, but it starts getting Disturbing his laugh gets louder and more fake sadistically his movement become more sporadic and manic, and his laughter slowly transition to laughter whatever actor would play the joker in this universe, and as the camera slowly pans out to show the ceiling of the Batcave A shadow covers his face his eyes are reduced to empty black holes with glowing red dots in the highlights of his hair change from gray to green-title card
idk about this, it rifs on some of the basic ideas spiderverse. the unearned mantel, the unworthyness, the luck. it’s just good, but i feel like some of these ideas can be changed. even the end, feels like the final battle with kingpin in spiderverse.
@@kingofhearts3185 absolutely no denying that, but there’s space for a better story, the single part i hated the most was bruce and the bat family being so shitty to mcginnis is wildly out of character.
@@josereyes-ze7ll I agree. It made for a nice Jason moment, but that wouldn't have any setup in a standalone project without heavy exposition. Not to mention being so heavily contrived. You could just have Bruce get cold feat and keep the yelling. But otherwise I like the story.
Loved the video it was great and personally I would love to see more elseworld ideas from you which aren't connected to other superhero projects like Clark: A superman story
I LOVE these types of videos of yours, next time you do one and if it’s Batman related can you do one from the villain’s “point of view” like you focus more on who the villain would be and how it would effect the story? And if it was an “R” rated Batman movie??
I know he’s probably not going to see this with me commenting on this 2 days late and super late at night but PLEASE make a green arrow prewrite! You seem to have so much love for this character that I can’t help but want to see your take on a story. Amazing video as always though and I can’t wait to see more!
I like the idea of Batman Beyond being an Else World stories. There is a chance for Bruce in the future that he didn't give up on Dick, Tim, Damien, and the others and a chance that they can be Batman in other future worlds.
This pitch was "beyond" amazing, Troy!! Puns aside, this might be my favorite prewrite of yours, which says a lot because I love your rewrite for Spider-Man. I love the legacy of Batman and the Bat Family, the themes of class/poverty, and the character arc you gave Terry. I also love how you take inspiration from Spider-Verse but don't exactly copy it. As someone who loves Batman Beyond, this was fantastic! I want an unknown actor for Terry, but I think that Brian Cox could be a really good older Bruce Wayne.
If I could suggest just one thing to this pitch it would be that we don't put Damien in just a black suit. A lot of time has passed and I think at this point he should've grown into a new identity. I propose that in this beyond timeline, Damien hasn't been given the blessing of wearing the batsuit, so he's developed a suit of his own, one that is reminiscent of the beyond suit, but not the same. I think in this timeline Damien Wayne is taking up the mantle of Red X (this is a stupid nonsense suggestion but seeing Red X again in any form would just make me so happy)
@@constructking8850 nah, Batman beyond has to have the dominant aesthetic and themes of cyberpunk. The gothic style doesn’t really exist anymore at that point
While Bruce’s sons (Dick or Damian) should inherit the mantle at some point Terry should be someone who only came into that life by pure coincidence and had no previous connections to the Bat fam
And Neuromancer! Neuromancer was also foundational to cyberpunk. I once read that while he was writing it, William Gibson felt genuine fear when he watched Blade Runner cause it was so close to his vision.
Making Bane just shuts down when Terry goes full "I am Batman" is real thematically appropriate yeah with there being no deaths (lookin at you Snyder) happening but also as you said, the Bat broke Bane through sheer terror, the striking fear ODed Bane is really good and shows what Batman represents are alive.
I'm in act 2 right now, I bet Damian is Dick's bodyguard. It's easy to guess since they "don't know where the heck he is" and Dick is Dick and the body guard specifically has a Deathstroke outfit from the New 52 animated movies where Damian stabbed Slade Wilson's eye. Edit: HAHA BOOYAH

I love how you used Jason and Terry being similar in origin.
Exactly. If this became like a franchise of multiple movies. And Bruce were to be killed off at some point. It'd be cool to see this version of Jason step up and become Terry's new guy in the chair.
I love the Bane twist, makes it an actual mystery instead of having it just be Blight which most Batman Beyond fans would predict
I thought it was gonna be Damian.
“Behold, I shall be a Blight upon the land, and everything I touch shall wither and die!”
Venom mass produced would indeed be a “blight”.
I was thinking Scarecrow or Penguin, didn't even know there was a batman villain called blight lol
@vanguardbreaker8826 Blight is a Terry only villain. He's Derek Powers, who is responsible for Terry's father's death.
"How's the Batman Beyond prewrite?"

Bruce turns to leave and then says over his shoulder: "But this doesn't make you Batman."
Or something like that.
@@Nodiee1 Yeah I think that works better and fits in more line with Bruce’s characterzation.
Crazy how Jason and Terry literally have the same personality. people don't want to accept that though. Terry just got written better than Jason and more love. Terry is just a good Jason
As a person who likes Jason Todd, I can’t say I disagree/agree with that
@@daryltor7608 I'll take it
I think they’re good by just being different characters. I think it just takes a better writer to take Jason a step further.
@MonkeyDBatman I have and he still has a chip on his shoulder like Terry

I adore these prewrite videos so much; they're so much of an inspiration to me as they are beautiful fanmade stories brimming with so much passion for the medium of comics. Keep it up with these awesome videos!! :]
THIS IS SO GOOD! Is it bad I want like a whole trilogy about this now?
Great job!
Maybe Kurt Russel could play an older version of Bruce Wayne, but if given a good script like yours.
Why not Peter Weller?
@@master-of-many-fandoms2020 Who?
@@michaellucejr.6374 He played Robocop back in the day and even voiced an older Bruce Wayne in the animated adaptations of The Dark Knight Returns.
@@master-of-many-fandoms2020 Oh, I never saw Robocop
I did see the dark knight returns but it wasn’t really my favorite adaptation of Batman but it was good
The Jokers helping out gives a major Dark Knight Returns vibe
So fucking ready for this you already know its gonna be a banger
Nah, cuz ending the movie with the words from the shows opening is PEAK CINEMA! Honestly, this a really good interpretation of the world. BB fans like myself have seen the show so we know how things play out, so putting your own spin on it where even we wouldn't know how it would play out was a fun ride.
I know Damian Wayne isn't too popular, but he's my favorite Batman character. It'd be sick if we could get a Damian pitch video
Trust Me, when The Brave and the Bold Batman Movie is released, Damian's character will be everywhere, Currently, he is popping off in comics, and animated movies, all he needs is a live-action and gaming appearance and he will be cemented as a super popular character. He's like my top 5 fav Batfamily character
@@the_wolfclan05 he's already appeared in gaming, he's the playable Nightwing in Injustice 1 and unplayable Nightwing/playable Robin in Injustice 2. which was bs that Robin was playable but not Nightwing despite him being Nightwing in all but 2 scenes(Flashbacks).
Josh Keaton(AKA Spectacular Spiderman/Arkham Timmy) was actually going to be playing a future Batman in an Arkham Project as Damian but that was cancelled, a playable Damian was also set to appear alongside an aged up Timmy(as Red Robin) and Catwoman in a story dlc facing off against Two-Face for Gotham Knights but was scrapped? Its either scrapped or they're slow asl with content considering ive heard they never officially cancelled it(which doesnt always mean its coming out, look at Rockstar Games and some of their games that are long since abandoned but never officially cancelled)
Damian fans eating bad in terms of gaming, scrap that they arent eating at all theyre locked in a cage with food thats just out of arms reach.
But live action youre right, Titans had a good enough universe and we barely seen Tim as Robin. It would've been good to see Damian show up eventually if it continued.
This is gonna be so good 😭 love you Troy keep up the hard and good work!
Dude honestly one of your best videos. Loved this. I am sorry I couldn't have helped you more but man, you nailed this.
2:25 For what it's worth, I get excited every time I see a new video from this channel, and I never watch it as just background noise
Can I humbly ask can we have a sequel pitch pls
Yes
Dude this was fucking hype! This video elevated my heart rate. I love how you incorporated the bat family.
5:12
The Click and it being jammed showing that he *pulled the trigger* Is so much more impactful
This prewrite is beyond awesome, you did a great job!
The religous experience I went through hearing the Beyond theme come in at the end of the pitch. Holy shit.
Post credit scene Tim Drake is watching a VHS tape of The bat families, best family memories as he watches them. It starts out sincere, but as he goes in, he starts laughing at a humor scene, but it starts getting Disturbing his laugh gets louder and more fake sadistically his movement become more sporadic and manic, and his laughter slowly transition to laughter whatever actor would play the joker in this universe, and as the camera slowly pans out to show the ceiling of the Batcave A shadow covers his face his eyes are reduced to empty black holes with glowing red dots in the highlights of his hair change from gray to green-title card
31:35 Chills
This might just be my favorite prewrite of yours. I don’t even like Batman Beyond that much, but I’d love if this was made into a movie.
Can’t wait this is most definitely going to be beyond my expectations
idk about this, it rifs on some of the basic ideas spiderverse. the unearned mantel, the unworthyness, the luck. it’s just good, but i feel like some of these ideas can be changed. even the end, feels like the final battle with kingpin in spiderverse.
I think a lot of that is inevitable with a legacy character, but it could definitely go that way.
@@kingofhearts3185 absolutely no denying that, but there’s space for a better story, the single part i hated the most was bruce and the bat family being so shitty to mcginnis is wildly out of character.
@@josereyes-ze7ll I agree. It made for a nice Jason moment, but that wouldn't have any setup in a standalone project without heavy exposition. Not to mention being so heavily contrived. You could just have Bruce get cold feat and keep the yelling. But otherwise I like the story.
Loved this from start to finish & would definitely support this project being made into reality
Phenomenal video, I loved everything you ever pre-written and hope you never stop ❤️
I'm watching the video I promise your visual elements didn't go to waste
In my mind I've always imagined a live action Terry McGuinness to be similar to Keanu Reeves as Neo in the first Matrix
The signal part legitimately gave me chills
2.5 k views in 8 hours. Glad I found you the other day
Loved the video it was great and personally I would love to see more elseworld ideas from you which aren't connected to other superhero projects like Clark: A superman story
I LOVE these types of videos of yours, next time you do one and if it’s Batman related can you do one from the villain’s “point of view” like you focus more on who the villain would be and how it would effect the story? And if it was an “R” rated Batman movie??
Really great work as usual! Always love seeing your vids!
I know he’s probably not going to see this with me commenting on this 2 days late and super late at night but PLEASE make a green arrow prewrite! You seem to have so much love for this character that I can’t help but want to see your take on a story. Amazing video as always though and I can’t wait to see more!
💯
The perfect fucking wrap up and utilization of all the characters, this was a certified hood classic.
I like the idea of Batman Beyond being an Else World stories. There is a chance for Bruce in the future that he didn't give up on Dick, Tim, Damien, and the others and a chance that they can be Batman in other future worlds.
This pitch was "beyond" amazing, Troy!! Puns aside, this might be my favorite prewrite of yours, which says a lot because I love your rewrite for Spider-Man. I love the legacy of Batman and the Bat Family, the themes of class/poverty, and the character arc you gave Terry.
I also love how you take inspiration from Spider-Verse but don't exactly copy it. As someone who loves Batman Beyond, this was fantastic!
I want an unknown actor for Terry, but I think that Brian Cox could be a really good older Bruce Wayne.
If I could suggest just one thing to this pitch it would be that we don't put Damien in just a black suit. A lot of time has passed and I think at this point he should've grown into a new identity. I propose that in this beyond timeline, Damien hasn't been given the blessing of wearing the batsuit, so he's developed a suit of his own, one that is reminiscent of the beyond suit, but not the same. I think in this timeline Damien Wayne is taking up the mantle of Red X (this is a stupid nonsense suggestion but seeing Red X again in any form would just make me so happy)
Okay but a Burton directed animated (computer or stop motion) Batman Beyond would be crazy,especially if it was directly in his Batman universe
Burton does gothic well. Cyberpunk is not something I want in his style
I think he could mix the styles well. Maybe have the gothic there, and have the cyberpunk theme kind of infecting the gothic theme.
@@constructking8850 nah, Batman beyond has to have the dominant aesthetic and themes of cyberpunk. The gothic style doesn’t really exist anymore at that point
While Bruce’s sons (Dick or Damian) should inherit the mantle at some point Terry should be someone who only came into that life by pure coincidence and had no previous connections to the Bat fam
And Neuromancer! Neuromancer was also foundational to cyberpunk. I once read that while he was writing it, William Gibson felt genuine fear when he watched Blade Runner cause it was so close to his vision.
For a second there, I was SO afraid that you were gonna make Damian the villain.
Banes design that u made is so awesome great job.
Hopefully some form of this comes to fruition!
This is the first channel that I've subscibred to in like a few years at least. I love your comic book content!!!!
I feel like jason would have his own robin kinda like in White Knight because i dont think he would quit being Red Hood.
I think for older Bruce it should be either Josh brolin in makeup or James brolin with Josh in flashbacks.
Making Bane just shuts down when Terry goes full "I am Batman" is real thematically appropriate yeah with there being no deaths (lookin at you Snyder) happening but also as you said, the Bat broke Bane through sheer terror, the striking fear ODed Bane is really good and shows what Batman represents are alive.
Tanner Buchanan as Terry would be so dope
I personally think Tanner would be a great fit for Jason Todd/Red Hood
Nice editing, especially at the end
I should have seen that Damian twist coming, but it caught me off guard.
23:36 I straight up thought that you were going to do deathstroke again, until you said “someone new to break” I screeched when I heard banes name😆
33:01 also not gonna lie he kind of fried Bruce on this one😭
I'm in act 2 right now, I bet Damian is Dick's bodyguard. It's easy to guess since they "don't know where the heck he is" and Dick is Dick and the body guard specifically has a Deathstroke outfit from the New 52 animated movies where Damian stabbed Slade Wilson's eye.
Edit: HAHA BOOYAH
Dude this was incredible I NEED it
that ending goes unbelievably hard
