Fans desperately want this Batman Beyond film to be made

The concept art for the potential Batman Beyond film excited fans who took to social media sites like X (formerly Twitter) to express their excitement.

Yuhki Demers hopes for the film to get made

While Demers said that his and Harpin's pitch was rejected as Warner Bros. stated that "there is no way we can do a Beyond movie," he still hopes that the film can get made as the studio loved the duo's enthusiasm for the film. In the last five months, Demers and Harpin have constantly been pitching the film to the higher-ups and hope to get James Gunn, the DC Studios' co-President's attention with it.

In his post, Demers stated that the film originally started as a "never" and has now turned into a "maybe," and even encouraged fans to like and share his post. Given how quickly the news got traction, with Demers' original post having 3.9 million views on X, the fans have spoken.

For those who don't know, Batman Beyond was a popular cartoon successor to Batman: The Animated Series. The story was set in the future and saw an older Bruce Wayne, who had retired from being Batman. However, after a chance encounter with Terry McGinnis, Bruce was able to see potential in him, and he became Gotham's next Batman.

The show would then run for two seasons and, over the years, has been kept alive with comics expanding on Terry's story. Terry McGinnis quickly became a fan favorite, and his version of Batman is considered by many to be the true successor to Bruce Wayne. Here are fingers crossed that the Batman Beyond gets made someday.
