Batman Beyond Movie Back in Development?

Leave a comment

Warner Bros., which had previously had a live-action Batman Beyond movie in development before going with Christopher Nolan’s Batman reboot, is now said to be kicking around resurrecting their feature film adaptation of the animated TV series.

(In case you somehow forgot, the animated series saw an aging Bruce Wayne train his successor, 17-year-old high-school student Terry McGinnis, to protect Gotham City in the 21st century.)

Meanwhile, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has shot down the notion of him playing Batman in either JLA or the Batman reboot. “I don’t think you should believe in any of (the rumors),” the actor told MTV. “If there’s something I’m going to be in, I’m going to tell you about it.”
