Hey guys I have returned they lured me back by letting me talk about one of my favorite
things.
These are the Top 10 alternate Batman facts Batman Beyond edition!
For those who don’t know me I’m Sasha Wood and let’s get started.
Number 10 Batman Beyond is titled Batman of the future in a number of countries outside
of North America in fact in most other continents it goes by
this alternate title including Europe, Latin america, Australia and Asia.
So pretty much the rest of the world prefers this clunkier yet arguably more accuate title.
Batman of the future indeed!
This wasn’t the only change in shows title as Number 9 will highlght.
The Show’s working title for quite awhile was Batman Tomorrow to the point where the
developmental art had that title on it.
However it was nixed as it would be too hard to do promotional work for a show called Batman
tomorrow.
It does have the potential to be confusing it’s a bit of a non sequiteur doesn’t
quite confer the same metaphorical meaning as Batman Beyond it sounds more like a question.
Batman Tomorrow?
Number 8 Batman beyond is yet another creation of the dc animated universe that has made
the jump into the realm of comics.
Batman beyond has even survived the latest DC reboot ‘rebirth’.
Though in these series batman beyond is not always terry mcguiness
Speaking of Terry brings us to number 7!
Batman beyond’s terry mcguiness is the first time that a batman series portrayed the titular
hero as a teenager.
Terry took a page out of peter parker’s book and still refers to himself as Batman.
Number 6 the series experienced a transition in the way it was animated specifically coloured
as it went on it began as a tradiotnally handrawn series using paint
and ink however as the digital revolution in media began to take hold the series was
changed to have digital colouring.
While the crew tried to match the original cell paint colours the digital ones were always
slightly brighter as of the season 2 episode Eyewitness.
So if you’re diehards see if you can spot the difference.
At half way now at number 5 and if you were done with the titling shenanigans this!
The creative just had a really hard time coming up with a name for the show.
Two more rejected potential titles were B2 which sounds like a vitamin and the the tomorrow
knight, who would be the worst knight ever because he’s alway a day late.
Seriously though how hard would it have been to do promotional spots with that title.
Batman tomorrow knight at nine
Number 4 Batman Beyond pays homage to the classic anime film Akira.
Modeling it’s motorcycle chase scene in the pilot off of the chase scene from Akira.
The two works also feature gangs that go by the names the jokerz.
Which in batman beyond serves as a dual reference to the infamous villain of the past.
Akira also named their jokerz gang in reference to the same villain.
Number 3 A Number of scenes from the intro sequence from batman beyond were actually
shot in the kitchen of series developer Bruce Timm.
Using his own camcorder Timm used several villain action figures for
the spinning shot wherein Batman is surrounded and a maquette of old Bruce Wayne for the
closeup that many assumed was CG.
So a lot more work went into that intro than people think and all for a few frames of film
each now that’s dedication.
More about the series development at number 2 Batman beyond came into being because the
then president of the WB Jamie Kellner wanted to freshen up batman the animated
series by having it feature a younger hero.
As he was impressed by the success of buffy the vampire slayer.
Bruce Timm was able to convince him to let this teen batman show be set in the future
rather than changing the concept of the already successful series
Number 1 Batman Beyond nearly made it to the big screen with a live action film as the
studios were looking for something different to follow up the flop of
Batman and Robin the plans were announced in 2000 with Boaz Yakin set to direct and
Paul Dini and Alan Burnett set to write the screenplay a first draft was submitted in
2001 in anticpation of rewrites however it sat there forever as warner brothers decided
to go in the direction of a gritty reboot instead .
This decision ultimately led to Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins.
I’d still watch a Batman Beyond movie though what about you guys?
