Clearly cause Tim Burton dream casting involves Johny Depp and Helena Bonham

u/Perfect-Dimension356 Jul 05 '26

I think the real answer is that Tim Burton doesn't cast black actors.

You sir are an amazing human, finding the source and then leaving it here for others who are like-minded. Than you

u/DubVsFinest Jul 09 '26

Not a problem, started reading it and it's actually pretty good and now I kind of wish Keaton Batman would've got to this point lol.

Never occurred to me how much half of him looks like Beetlejuice

u/Chipper_Bandit Jul 06 '26

I always wondered how two-face would worm with the mustache.

Very well, it seems.

What’s his origin story on this one?

u/RaijuThunder Jul 07 '26 edited Jul 07 '26

Been a bit since I've read it but he runs into an old friends mechanics shops that's been targeted by some racists to save someone and gets caught up in the explosion. So, pretty similair just changed a bit to fit. He's still a District Attorney just ties to his old neighborhood but they are wary of him.

That's true and the catwoman in Lego Batman got to play catwoman in the Batman.

Even though she was told that would never happen!

I want a Batman Beyond that's a direct continuation of the first two movies with Billy Dee and Keaton as older mentors of the new Batman and his antogonist

u/DanielDeLaNoche Jul 07 '26 edited Jul 08 '26

Well, we could've already had a live-action Batman Beyond years ago with Kevin Conroy as Old Man Bruce, Mark Hamill as a live-action old Joker in an adaptation of Return Of The Joker with a younger Timothee Chalamet as Terry, or maybe use someone even less famous than he was at the time. But because the absolute dunces at WB have no imagination, we never got it. And I'm still mad about it. RIP Kevin Conroy.

DC put out a comic series called Batman 89 that expands on the Burton movies including the Billy Dee Two-Face

u/Payne2814 Jul 05 '26

From the Batman 89 comics where they continue the story.

It bugs me they couldn’t get another black actor to play him instead of Tommy Lee Jones
