No harm done. It's probably a story that should be brought up every once in a while to help others struggling with similar cookie themed addictions.
I suppose when Alan Burnett and Hilary Bader put together the pitch they got some of the people still working on BB to do some concepts they could show.Wow. I know that it was talked about with the head of Kids' WB!, but I had no idea that there was concept art drawn up. I've been meaning to write a piece about this for Aglets Are Sinister.
Come to think of it, the end of Batman Beyond kinda syncs up with the pre-production on Justice League. You don't suppose that plot point in "Secret Origins," with the manned Mars landing, could have been inspired by that pitch?
Huh. Didn't think to consider they might have first devised that part of Secret Origins in that pitch. If it were I'm sure Alan Burnett and Hilary Bader would have been given a story credit of some sort in Secret Origins. Now you got me wondering. Maybe they were thinking Total Recall, crime was already pretty rampant? Idk, it was a flimsy idea and a small miracle no one was into it.I want to read the original pitch. Think that J'onn J'onzz and the Imperium factored into it?
The Batman Beyond on Mars pitch? I doubt it.I want to read the original pitch. Think that J'onn J'onzz and the Imperium factored into it?
Yup, he also pitched Metal Men and GL series. WW, in particular, he pitched 3 times from the early to late 90s. He also developed LOSH and Lobo shows that weren't picked up (all from Back Issue! #16 I believe). According to Timm, one of the WW ones got as far as the pilot being animated but the plug got pulled.I don't know if this had been posed before but Boyd Kirkland pitched a Wonder Woman cartoon to Fox Kids in 1994 and approached them multiple times but the cartoon never came to fruition.
That all would've been really cool! Also the GL one might've been Kyle's only chance to get a cartoon to himselfYup, he also pitched Metal Men and GL series.

Hm, if it was Kyle even. We presume he was pitching DCAU shows, but who knows. They could have been stand alones, too.That all would've been really cool! Also the GL one might've been Kyle's only chance to get a cartoon to himself.
True, I'm just thinking...pitching a GL show in the 90's, they probably would have been more likely to pitch it with Kyle since he was the main and only GL at the time rather than Hal or any other GL.Hm, if it was Kyle even.

True, plus Warner was shopping GL live action movie in '96 or '97 to writers and directors so perhaps there was a Hal embargo as well.True, I'm just thinking...pitching a GL show in the 90's, they probably would have been morel likely to pitch it with Kyle since he was the main and only GL at the time rather than Hal or any other GL.
