![The Untold Story of Why They [Bleeped] Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker](/img/n.gif)
Thank you so much to Toonami Remastered! czcams.com/users/SlimD716V2
For those out of the loop: this was an animation created in about one week by James Tucker and Bruce Timm to sell “Justice League” to Kids WB (hence the inclusion of the younger heroes), but WB greenlit the series before even needing to see this! The original animation was released as a special feature on the JL DVDs; you can find a version with the opening Tucker/Timm introduction by searching for “Justice League: The First Mission.”
Regarding the repurposed shots I couldn’t find:
- J’onn flying at the end of the “The Call” lineup was explained on Twitter by James Tucker to have been an additional boarded character that was originally cut from the shot, possibly Terry McGinnis or the Batmobile.
- Grundy vs Impulse is likely a quick sequence of Robin vs a Joker goon in the opening Ace Chemicals fight in “Beware the Creeper.” According to Dan Riba, he boarded this but it ultimately didn’t make it into the episode, so it has no actual reference point.
- The Cyborg girl landing and leaping may very well be a shot of Terry or Batgirl from some episode, but it was going to be too obscure to possibly find.
- Same goes for the shot of Mongul running up to J’onn; it’s a miracle I found the “Father’s Day” arm wrestle follow-up. I have to imagine J’onn was originally Batman in the missing shot, but who knows? The background is from STAS’ “Double Dose.”
- Lastly, the shot of J’onn being fired at by multiple POV guns is the most likely to be an original boarded animation. The cat he transforms into is the same model from “Cult of the Cat,” but that cat does not leap directly at the screen at any point in the episode. The guns and background are from “Batman Beyond.”
- BONUS: Did you catch the stock reuse duplication of the training robot from “The Call” being blown up by Hawkgirl?
Please do episode on the Anti-life Equasion :)
Please, please, please :)
Oh, hey, WD!
Woah, pretty interesting to see Robin considered to be an important member of the team. Makes me wish we got to see Tim Drake during this time period
Tim drake was around that time period
Was better without him
@@mattiesavannahpahl9934 And now I know that strictness is why The Zeta Project got canceled. Still watching Kids' WB! around that time it wouldn't really surprise me why they would start putting a lot more of their stock into running the Pokémon anime since it was a very kid friendly series like they wanted, based off of a hugely marketable franchise so they knew kids would be watching it, and it was obviously real cheap for them to put out when you just had 4Kids dubbing over Japanese animation that's already been produced overseas.
From what I've seen watching the Justice League series, it seemed that Bruce Timm and his crew were given much more creative leeway for those shows when making them over on CN with the kind of stories that they were able to tell.
cant imagine being ok with robin taking up batmans screen time it is the "justice League" after all if he was a main character it would feel out of place
I would say "this was during the Time Period where Tim stopped being Robin because of what Joker did to him" but then I realized Joker was still alive in Justice League
I don't know if im more impressed by all the referenced footage found or the remaster but I have no idea how either were done
Kcallop Nalyd
James looking at how the batsuit is a perfect amalgamation of the two BTAS suits has to drive him mad 🤣
What?
The repurposed shots section was really cleaver, very interesting to see them side by side.
it really explained why the whole thing looked so neo-Gotham-y
I though It was really well done. Reminded me of when Walt Disney recycled animation. But I think they made it a lot less obvious here. Given the budget and time constraints they would have had.
The city did seem futuristic to me even before they explanation.
I'm glad they dropped the kids. There's something unique about the leaguers all being adults and how they relate to each other.
Granted, the kids most likely became the offscreen Titans mention in Static Shock.
Oh wow, that was interesting seeing what a lot of the scenes were referenced from. Funny because while watching that Pilot, I thought it felt like I saw some of those scenes before. Thanks for putting this together.
Thank YOU so so so much!
This was a real treat Watch Tower! Had no idea this existed! I thank you for this wonder!!!
This was so well done! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Good on ya' WDB with the remaster! This reminds me of your "Return of the Joker" Edited vs Uncut video you all did, back in the day! (Great video, btw!) It's funny seeing this type of (sanitized, formal) content, again, now that you three have such defined personas (both in and out of your storylines), but I'm game for it!
Kinda weird seeing John Stewart Green Lantern with a mask. I feel like its not his style.
Definitely not his style
For the best that we got JL a little later with the John Stewart it had.
+Mildly Depressed Dog That was one of the reasons why they said they ended up going with John Stewart for the series, because they liked that he was one of the Green Lanterns in the comics who didn't need to wear a mask. I guess they still kind of tested him out wearing one though while working on his design.
Agreed. I'd have really missed the glowing green eyes he sports!
Very cool! It cleaned up nicely. Also, seeing the repurposed shots was a nice touch. I thought some of them seemed familiar but couldn't quite place all of them.
That was awesome! Good job! And thank you!
I remember watching the unaired pilot years ago on CZcams. Thanks for the remaster.
This is rad. Thanks for doing this.
Now I kinda wish we got more of this show
I would have still Liked to see at least one episode with these justice leaguers .. very interesting and cool. Thanks for sharing
It looks so crisp and clean!
That was amazing. Surprisingly few ai upscaling bugs except for the end shot...
Yeah that end shot was a toughie considering all of the VHS noise and blur. But I am SUPER happy with how it all came out! Toonami Remastered did a fantastic job!
Has a similar vibe to the opening sequences of “Challenge of the Superfriends” and “Galactic Guardians.”
Or towards Galactic Guardians
Wow, la serie podría haber tenido un tono completamente diferente por lo que veo en ese piloto, muchas gracias por compartir este material
It would have been cool, if Bruce Tim and co added them as bonuses in either justice league or justice league unlimited.
It'd be fun if this was an AU that was visited in Legacies
We’re bringing in this Impulse!
That's a great idea! It would have also been fun to have seen in "JL: Infinity."
@@andrewcozzini8259 yeah and especially if there was a 3rd season of Batman the Adventure continues we could have gotten How Batman met Hawkgirl answer.
@@srstriker6420 That's the dream! Lol. It could definitely work, as we saw "TNBA" Batman meet Zatanna and Etrigan, before "Justice League."
@@andrewcozzini8259 exactly my point
Its amazing how much was of the scenes and character design were from batman beyond
I saw this test footage on the Justice League DVD set. I don't however, remember the explanation as well. I didn't know about any reference except for the Batman shots being taken from World's Finest and the Golem redesign
Fascinating!
You got it done!! I saw you were struggling on twitter
Mostly! Still a couple shots I couldn’t find, but about to do a pinned comment about that.
@@dcauwatchtower still looks good
Bravo!!! 👏
I just want to say I love this channel!!! And have I missed out on yall doing reviews for Young Justice?
We covered season 3 as it happened on our podcast “12th Level Intellects” a couple years back. But we haven’t done any season 4 coverage. We primarily focus on the ‘90s DCAU, but occasionally will cover newer stuff (especially if that newer stuff IS new DCAU, haha).
Man, the fact they considered having Impulse over the flash is what gets me the most
but it would've been fun if he appeared in the JL series and Wally had to deal with his aging problem
Nice work, I had no idea Tim, Bart and a female Cyborg (Victoria?) were considered for the show as well (sorry I missed it or forget it if you folks covered it before.)
I didn't even know there was an female Cyborg. It's pretty interesting that they were originally going to have Tim Drake's Robin and Impulse in Justice League. But it's kind of odd that Robin's design was going to look like modernize or at modern for the 90s take on the golden/sliver age Robin.
Yep. And, again, they were looking to sort of age Tim up (as in "The Big Leagues"), before remembering how he looked in the "RotJ" flashback and having to change it back.
@@derekpayneszubliminals7723 To my knowledge, there isn't. The Cyborg character would have been an original character, exclusive to this show. Also, that's an interesting observation you mention with the Golden Age-ness to Robin's design. To me, he looks most similar to his one-time-only look from the "Static Shock" episode, "The Big Leagues," but his hair has that 40s Dick Grayson hair, as seen in the flashbacks from "Robin's Reckoning." Nice catch!
@@andrewcozzini8259 well it proves that this isn’t the first time they try to take Cyborg away from the Teen Titans
Cool!
Admittedly I only recognized the one that essentially became Batman in World's Finest and thinking that one dude looked like a Splicer but it's interesting to see how much of the pilot ended up woven into the DCAU.
This animation was created after TNBA, STAS, and Batman Beyond had already basically finished, so anything that looks like those shows is because it's from those shows.
@@dcauwatchtower Oh that makes sense; I saw the vid on Superman TAS the other day and the John Stewart design made me think it was still during that time. Thanks for the clarification!
@@ChouRaiyuki I’m guessing that the snake guy is supposed this version of Copperhead
Ah, the "lost pilot" of "Justice League." Like every true DCAU fan, I've watched this/pondered its implications more than is perhaps healthy. But it sure is an interesting "What if?." Personally, I'm much happier with the show we got in almost every respect, except maybe for the inclusion of Robin in some organic, sort of background way. I'll say, though, one thing I've never noticed until now is that Impulse would be a stand-in for a proper Flash, here, (ala "Smallville), not his sidekick. Just an observation.
I feel that this pilot was put together more to give an idea to WB executives of the kind of things they could expect out of the series before any story ideas were truly fleshed out.
OH YEAH?!
Wow
Bro the composer had clearly JUST been listening to the Battle of Yavin music from Star Wars
Oh it’s publicly confirmed hahaha
The music is very John Williams!
It's supposed to sound Star Wars-y, so mission accomplished!
I remember this
That would've been interesting with that lineup
the old animtion still holds up
I really like this art style I wish they would have started with this then maybe in later season change to the style we know kinda like how the Batman series did
Just like the JL batsuit, with Robin they kept the TNBA robin outfit but the changed the black parts of Robin’s suit dark green like how it was in the original animated series 🔥
I have never seen this unaired pilot before.
Aye yo, I'm kinda diggin the yellow behind Bats chest badge. 👀
So first impressions- the environment feels really neo-Gotham, but the action very much has a Static Shock feel to it, it seems like they were trying to work out the feel of the show by taking a little from the other shows, and I'm glad they eventually found something that felt a little more grandiose and unique. The lineup of heroes is interesting, what's even more interesting is the inclusion of Tim, what with all the Bat-embargo-ing at the time. I really wish we could have seen the Cyborgette in something at some point, perhaps in the buildup to the #JLReunion or maybe even something connected to the _ZetaProject?i'mjustkiddinglol._ It's great that this has been preserved and archived here, thanks as always Watchtower.
Edit: watched 5 more seconds and couldn't help noticing the musical direction is so very Superman, down to the instrumentation. I'm glad Karter, Ritmanis and the gang came up with something a little less STAS. Maybe the clash in the Beyond aesthetic style and the Superman musical style is what's creating the uneasy effect this promo has.
The music is actually from a “Batman Beyond” episode! “Sentries of the Last Cosmos”
The Flash replaced Female Cyborg, Kid Flash and Robin Tim Drake so he should have been in the plot
When are you going to make that Superman the animated series Timeline video
I have a question how come penguin has 3 fingers in btas but 5 in tnba (from a canon pov) because I know in btac it is said he changed because of a helicopter crash but how did he gain fingers?
As far as we know, he had to have a bunch of reconstructive surgery. Perhaps his finger bones were always under there?
I can see why the show ended up being so different, among other things having three sidekicks join the JL would've been too reminiscent of Super Friends in my eyes.
Honestly can say I'm so glad they didn't do this. It looked like it be focused on the kids like so many 90s shows ended up being about
Where did impulse and Robin go? That would’ve been awesome
thank god they didnt include the sidekicks in this manner
Look at bart
Did they made just this short or is there a full pilot? By the way, Batman's suit is pretty cool, and John Stewart looks short as hell, like... 5'5.
It's just this!
Yep. Just like the "Dark Knight's First Night" short was a sort of test footage for "B:TAS."
While I think this would have been cool to see I am so glad that we got the version we did. The character designs look so much better and while I would have loved to see Bart and other members of the teen Titans show up just focusing on the main 7 was a nice idea.
I definitely do not like the Martian Manhunter, Solomon Grundy and Lex Luther’s looks here
@@srstriker6420 yeah, Lex is ok, Manhunter looks off and Grundy just looks like a dude in a ripped outfit with white paint
@@tridentsilver766 exactly and this Lex design here looks more Egyptian
@@srstriker6420 yeah.
They could totally repurpose this pilot and make it into a justice league movie/crossover with batman beyond
Green Lantern lookin like a teen.
I’m glad almost of all them stayed the same in terms of design
Kinda wish we got the bat oval in animation outside of BTAS. Like a cameo in the other DCAU animation.
+Cameron Kiesser I know that Batman didn't have the yellow oval when he was first introduced in the comics by Bob Kane, but the yellow oval had always just been so iconic for me growing up with the character (I suppose being used as part of a massive marketing campaign for Tim Burton's Batman movie would do that). I wouldn't mind seeing it used just a bit more often in media, even if I'm fine with him wearing the big black bat on his chest also.
@@nicksorenson940 I just feel like some of the designs should at least get a nod in the other series.
I know what you're saying! And, yet, I don't think I'd want it over the design we later got in "JL"/"JLU," but I would have at least liked to have seen it in flashbacks, from time to time.
@@andrewcozzini8259 Yeah the connective tissue is what I wanted.
@@CameronKiesser People talk about the yellow oval being a bad design choice because it's like having a target painted on your chest, but the way that Batman's cape would be covering up his whole body in BTAS it didn't seem to really matter. It obviously didn't keep him from still being stealthy and in the shadows in that series.
Do a video on the ultimen
Reminds me of OG Batman opening, but was it just the opening or were there also more to this unaired pilot?
Just this!
Somewhere, in the known yet all too vast Multiverse, this is canon.
Same goes for the Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths+Doom universe, in which the events of the former can be mostly purported as canonical between the JL and JLU cartoons (via the scrapped Worlds Collide movie concept), while a few bits of the latter may have been the basis of the offscreen moment of awesome and implied tragedy that is the Near Apocalypse of '09.
Edit: And am of the fervent opinion that Impulse/Kid Flash and the female Cyborg (a Victoria Stone, perhaps) are proper DCAU-canon Titans members alongside Tim Drake/Robin, Speedy as seen in Justice League Unlimited, and the offscreen Beast Boy mentioned in Static Shock.
I have so many questions
At first before lex showed I thought it was the golem episode from beyond
Yeah and is it just me or Lex look Egyptian?
So This A Justice League Unaired Pilot And They Have Sidekicks Like Robin (Tim Drake) Impulse and A Female Cyborg However Batman Did Have His Classic Bat Oval Symbol on His Chest and Wore His New Batman Adventures Utility Belt TOO However When Batman (Himself) Joins The Justice League/JLU He Wore His New Batman Adventures Costume With Blue Highlights From BTAS and Utility Belt From New Adventures Had Retain With New Anti Lock Pockets Design From JL2001/JLU Oh BTW The Gadgets Like Batarangs,Grappling Hooks Bolas,Batwing and Batmobile From New Batman Adventures Retains (He Still Used Them).
So When Justice League Aired In November of 2001 It Had A Lineup Of 7 Heroes Like Batman Superman Wonder Woman The Flash Green Lantern (John Stewart) Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl Instead of Aquaman (He Appears Til JLU Episode Wake The Dead When He Made His Last Appearance In DCAU and Never Seen Agian) However When Justice League Unlimited Came In Summer of 2004 They Had A Lot Of Good Heroes
Like Vibe Gypsy Crimson Avenger Black Canary Green-Arrow Supergirl Huntress Stargirl Rocket Red Etrigan Hawkman Kyle Rayner GL The Question Captian Atom Zatanna Dr Fate Vixen Blue Devil Red Tornado Hawk and Dove Dr Light The Ray Wildcat Dr Midnite Hourman Booster Gold Sand Commander Steel Elongated Man Metamorpho Shining Knight Vigilante Fire and Ice Steel and Shazam They All Appear Except for Batgirl Robin Cyborg Black Lightning Power girl Firestorm Plastic Man Phantom Stranger and Blue Beetle Didn't Appear Because DC Won't Let The Creators on The DCAU Team Used Them Due To License Rights Like PowerGirl Black Lightning Blue Beetle Phantom Stranger Cyborg and Robin was Unavailable To Used Them Also Robin and Cyborg Was Used In Teen Titans 2003 📺 TV Series at The Time Batgirl and Robin Had A Bat Embargo Like Batgirl Commissioner Gordon Alfred Pennyworth The Joker Harley Quinn Poison Ivy Clayface The Riddler and BANE Batcave/Batmobile Batwing Was Used on The Batman 2004 Series. So Batman Was The Only Bat Character From BTAS & New Batman Adventures That Made It In DCAU Season Finale JLU Episode Destroyer.
Wonder What Happened To Aquaman Huntress Etrigan Supergirl and Kyle Rayner GL The Joker Harley Quinn???? They Were Never Seen Again After They Made Their Final Apprentices In DCAU Episodes They Appear On and Never Seen In Destroyer Final Episode.
True
Is there a version of this video with just the remaster and not side-by-sides at the end?
Yeah, it’s the first couple minutes of this video :)
@@dcauwatchtower I know, but I was hoping to download a copy of the HD remaster, and with the stuff at the end, this is over 300 MB.
You could always edit off the rest
0:51 OMG Chemo was originally going to appear in this series? Why was he cut?
He did appear! Sort of. In the JL season 1 episode “Metamorphosis.”
@@dcauwatchtower That wasn't actually him, it was just something that vaugley resembled him
Well yes, but I guess I’m saying he wasn’t “cut,” he did sort of appear in that form but just never in his usual form. Dan Riba did a design though!
Can someone tell me if hawkgirl is in an upcoming series or if she ever comes back? As a original version like on justice league unlimited... I can't find a good research and it can't just end for her when she flew away in the last episodes of justice league unlimited
That was at the end of “Justice League,” she’s back for several episodes of “Justice League Unlimited”! But we know nothing of any future Hawkgirl DCAU appearances (other than the recent “Justice League Infinity” comic that takes place after JLU).
@@dcauwatchtower she's in young justice tho and why would they give up such an amazing character? That's really sad, one youtuber made a video and said that she and Green lantern are happy in Afrika in a small village and raised a child... Btw the series "justice league " is coming before " justice league unlimited" right? Or from what series is the scene when we saw Diana being just a princess from her world andSteve Trevor crashed his jet.. Sorry for bad English, it would be cool if you can answer those Couple of questions 👍🏼
I don’t know the WW/Steve Trevor answer, but yes, “Justice League” comes before “Justice League Unlimited.” Hawkgirl leaves at the end of “Justice League” but is back in JLU later. They didn’t “give her up.” Also, “Young Justice” is its own separate universe, it is not connected to JL/JLU.
@@dcauwatchtower do you know where I can watch justice league unlimited season 2 in English? Iam German and on firestick there's only a German version and it is bullshit! I payed 34€ for it and it says English one doesn't exist! Why not? This is so stupid all the others were in English too
3:03 batman beyond background That's background from Armory's get away. Edit: Jim Tate, Disgruntled Wayne Powers employee.
i would’ve like to see Impulse in the DCAU
The theme is bonkers.
I mean... It's just a whole other tone. It's kinda weird, it sounds like the plot will lack substance.
I mean, it's a great score, I'm actually transcribing right now, but it's just... Thanks to whoever made the changes
It's actually taken from the "Batman Beyond" episode "Sentries of the Last Cosmos," and in-universe is the music that plays inside a VR game reminiscent of Star Wars and other fantasy genre titles. So it's already purposely a little "grandiose." Would love to hear your transcription later!
Thank god they went with the newer art style.
This is the same art style! Just different character models for most.
Copperhead is a splicer? Makes sense.
That’s actually just one of the splicers from the “Splicers” episode of “Batman Beyond,” haha, but I agree it makes sense if he was!
0:52
This creature looks familiar, I think I saw it in a comic once (I believe Pre-Final Crisis and Flashpoint).
Yep, that’s Chemo!
@@dcauwatchtower NICE!!
That would've been so cool to see this character in Justice League... unless I haven't noticed or don't remember.
He SORT OF appeared in the JL episode “Metamorphosis,” though it was a different interpretation of the character. Check out our “Hidden Villains” and “Hidden Heroes” videos for more on characters that we know exist in the DCAU but never “fully” saw!
@@dcauwatchtower Ok, I will. Thank you. 🙂

Yep
@@dcauwatchtower A thousand thanks!!
make a Superman animated series timeline video
What's with that music? I'm pretty sure I heard whole sections lifted from the Dark Forces video game, which I'm guessing was taken directly from Star Wars?
this JL clip at 0:37 sounds exactly like this Dark Forces link at 1:54 czcams.com/video/iLsOx-jCLXg/video.html I messed up the time stamps but it sounds like it was lifted from Dark Forces
It’s from the “Batman Beyond” episode “Sentries of the Last Cosmos,” which is one big Star Wars reference!
Wait were they going to add Jason to justice league??
It’s probably supposed to be a redesigned Tim, but who knows?
Is it me or does the music sound like someone is just banging on the keyboard?
I would have liked it if Batman had his yellow circle again. I think JL Batman was my first ever Batman I saw and will always be my definitive Batman design but the circle would cement it.
@Will N No beacuse, either is confusing. Isn't Batman wearing the bat signal on his chest in the nolan trilogy? And yet he still has no circle. Also who cares?
Interesting how they were going to put Robin and Wally as Kid Flash in there. Not quite sure who the girl in the white and metal suit would be though, but she does look familiar.
That’s Impulse!
And the girl is a new character created for this short, a female Cyborg
glad they didn’t kept John Stewart mask because that's not his character he's not ashamed showing his face
The artstyle feels very Batman Beyond... were they using only those assets?
Yep, they reused extras and backgrounds from "Batman Beyond" because they were close on hand. They only had a week to create this whole thing!
Who is the girl in the white armor?
A female Cyborg, an original character created for this pitch!
Is that giant humanoid green goo supposed to be Chemo ?
Yep!
@@dcauwatchtower do you ask yourself why was he cut out of the series?
I do not
@@dcauwatchtower know
Who was the small girl hero? Is that Lashina?
It’s a girl Cyborg!
@@dcauwatchtower What an odd choice and design 😳
I will say, the art pieces from Neo-Gotham threw me off a little but it looks cool all the same 🙂.
i'm glad this is not a final product, including kid and adults member never work out for mẹ, even with the new 52 line up with cyborg and teenager Flash (barry) in mass media, it's suck, JL team is supposed to be adults thinking of bigger picture and interact with eachother in many different ways, just like JL animation did, it's perfect
0:18 who’s that green lantern
John Stewart
I dont know why my comments keeps getting deleted maybe its the link thats why it keeps getting deleted, nevermind.

The shot of Batman dodging lazers was nearly identical to him dodging lazers from STAS. Also I'm curious as to why Lex Luthor and Martian Manhunter seem to have scars on their faces.
Yeah because Lex’s looks very Egyptian here
That’s because it is a shot from that episode 😜
@@dcauwatchtower exactly which shows it was a fake
…a fake?
@@dcauwatchtower where Batman is dodging the laser and everything else
The scenes taken from "World's Finest" were always the most blatant of the repurposed shots for me (as blatant as when they reused Flash's running animation from STAS' "Speed Demons" in JL's "Paradise Lost", which didn't work at all in that case), but it's always interesting to discover how much 2D animation gets repurposed or redrawn from previous productions. It's even led to some hilarious examples on this channel like that blasted yellow batsuit.
Agreed. The most blatant to me is bit from "World's Finest" with Batman on the paraglider, mainly because it's obviously the TNBA design, not the new model they show at the end title card.
@@andrewcozzini8259 It's a very different case with this though, cause they just put this together as a little animated teaser to help sell the idea of the show to Kids' WB!.
For the shows themselves it's one thing to reuse good explosion animations that were done for their previous shows/movies, but when you're reusing character animation from an older show that doesn't match the look of the current one, it sticks out like a sore thumb.
@@nicksorenson940 yeah it seems a bit lazy
@@srstriker6420 In all fairness I think the DCAU crew were pretty good at knowing how to handle reusing animation when they needed to, aside from that one instance in "Paradise Lost" which was the only time you saw an edit like that in these shows. Most of the time they reused any older animation it was for explosions.
When watching the 90s Spider-Man cartoon it can be way more noticeable how often they would have to reuse animation to help cut corners for that series.
So Wally is supposed to be Bart and Robin should be there. It's like the Super Friends or that other Batman Cartoon, with TAS elements in it. Who's the young lady in the group?
I wonder how they would have explained the more futuristic environment because there’s Batman Beyond
It’s just reused backgrounds. They also explain in the original special feature that they weren’t sure what time period it would be set in.
Lex Luthor controls the Golem robot instead of Willie Watt.
Not gonna lie, kinda wishing we got that genderbent Cyborg.
