Could we see a Batman Beyond revival in the DCU?

The Spider-Verse-like idea was first revealed by Yuhki Demers in February, with the artist releasing some stunning concept art and revealing the project's backstory. Which is unfortunately not currently in development.

“Five months ago Patrick Harpin joined @wbpictures @DCofficial and introduced a Batman Beyond Animated Feature. Before we made the pitch, they warned us, “There is absolutely no way to make a 𝘉𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 movie,” but they were thrilled by our enthusiasm. We laid out the blueprint for the entire film, and what started as a “never” became a “maybe.” Since then, we have been working our way up the company in hopes of reaching @jamesgunn.”

Demers also revealed who is behind the Batman Beyond project: “From writer/director Patrick Harpin (My father, the bounty hunter) & Production Designer/Producer Yuhki Demers (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse).”

In the world of DC animation, Batman will return in the “spiritual sequel” to the acclaimed film Batman: The Animated Series, Batman: Caped Crusader, which is now set to appear on Prime Video. And someone who would like to see a similar revival Batman Beyond is lead narrator Will Friedle, who has said he would “love to do more episodes.”

“One of the joys of being a voice actor is that your voice doesn’t necessarily age. That's a bit, but you can still play 17 at 45 if you manage to get on the register. It's a character that's so important.” For me, I would love to do more episodes, not only because I know the fans would really like to see it, but because a) I would be back in the role, which is incredible would be, and b) I would get it “He and I are close friends and he is a wonderful actor and someone who has been a mentor on that side of the acting industry. Knowing we would be in the locker room together again.”
