When a new Batman animated show was envisioned back in the late 90s, the Head of Programming at WB wanted a teenage version of the character. However, this posed a problem with the hero’s narrative and character as Bruce Wayne took the mantle of Batman only after he matured into an adult. So, the writers and designers came up with this revolutionary idea of placing Batman in a futuristic Gotham of 2039. Wayne would transfer his cape and cowl to a teenager who would work under the supervision and tutelage of the old guard. Despite agreeing on this concept with the producers, Bruce Timm freaked out, partly because they wanted the show on air in less than a year. They all hustled to think of an effective storyline that retained the mythology fans knew of and held on to the continuity of other earlier Batman shows of the ’90s. 0:00 Intro 2:47 The Stalker 5:10 Spellbinder 7:34 Inque 9:41 Blight 12:09 Shriek 14:34 The Terrific Trio 17:04 Joker 19:02 Curaré 20:51 Willie Watt 22:15 The Royal Flush Gang 24:06 Mr. F
