@roxas1003 - the red-headed step child of the DCAU. It's sad because it's just as good as Batman Beyond

@Dredd97 - AGREED!! It’s so good! But they haven’t even released it on Blu-ray either.

@roxas1003 - If it wasn’t for COVID, i’m almost 100% sure it would have come out...

BTAS came in 2018 and BB came in 2019 :(

I don't think it will happen, but if this leads to another season I'd be alright with that. I know Kevin Conroy and Arleen Sorkin said they'd be down for another season or a movie, so hopefully this will open those doors.

Plus I agree adding Superman:The Animated series to HBO Max would be great too. Bring back Tim Daly and Clancy Brown for another series too.

That show was the only one that made Jimmy Olsen an interesting character and not a joke.

@BlackIceJoe - I'm surprised if Sorkin would do it because I'm pretty sure she hasn't played Harley in 10 years.

@Nightwing1015 - She made a comment about that a year ago. I believe it was for a one off movie though, but it is possible she would do it for a short season show.

I truly would like to see it happen, because it would be nice to see the original voice actor again. I know people like Tara Strong and now Kaley Cuoco, but I'll always like the original and so I hope that seeing the original cast again is possible.
