According to reports, a Batman: The Animated Series sequel could be coming to HBO Max.
The rumor was ignited by filmmaker and comic book figure Kevin Smith on his Fatman Beyond Podcast with Marc Bernardin. âThe rumor is that HBO Max is looking at making a Batman: The Animated Series sequel, that they want to continue that forward,â Bernardin said as Smith tried to hide his smile.
Smith went on to say, âI donât know what youâre talking about⌠Iâm not involved, but I too have heard this and Iâve heard this from very reliable people. When I heard it I freaked out, and I heard thisâŚI would say a month before you just said it. I think thatâs real, I donât think thatâs a rumor, I wouldnât say âSet your watch to it,â but itâs an idea whose time is not only coming, I think it came, and itâs smoking a cigarette. I think thatâs gonna happen. How f*cking amazing would that be because you can just literally pick up and keep going. Itâs not like, oh we gotta explain why everyoneâs older, itâs f*cking animation man so you can go right back to those amazing f*cking stories.
Despite his excitement, Kevin Smith did warn HBOâs streaming service about what they are potentially working with. âYou canât f*ck up the legacy, thatâs for damn sure. You canât f*ck it up, thereâs no reason not to do it, as long as youâve got the key creative components, as long as Bruce Timm is involved, wants to be there. F*cking go for it for heavenâs sakes.â
Rumors are also noting that the sequel is named âBatman: The Adventures Continuesâ and could premiere as soon as 2022 on HBO Max.
For more entertainment news, Netflix recently shared the trailer for JoJoâs Bizarre Adventure spin-off Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan.

Could be ass tbh, look at Killing Joke, we all thought that was gonna be flames. So I don't know.
Thoughts? @SUPERMAN @FREE
It'd prolly have some great heat episodes with a lot of meh just like the og series.
Was more excited for JLU revival but
Need more young justice and Batman Beyond tbh
Let TAS sleep peacefully
Would be killer, hope they donât f*** it up.
Please no Bruce Timm, man fell off so hard. This guy has such a weird obsession with Batman and Batgirl itâs gross. He probably fantasizes about f***ing his best friendâs teenage daughter
Crazy how much TAS still holds up after over 20 years. G.O.A.T. cartoon.
Damn I havent been consciously keeping up with him since JL but he a Frank Miller jr?
