10 Pieces Of Lost and Cancelled Batman Media

[@kuramayoko23]

I COMPLETELY AGREE with the last minute, "Terry is Bruce's son," twist. Why?? That completely destroys the story prior. The fact Terry was an everyday kid and not a prodigy like Bruce Wayne. Terry has to deal with school, a girlfriend, and family while balancing being Batman.

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Exactly! I always loved how in some ways Terry felt like a fusion of Spider-Man and Batman. Making Terry Bruce's kid gives me the same vibes as the twist with the spider in the Amazing Spider-Man films, it feels really cheap

[@AWorldofKayos]

@@MediaSenseiOG he felt like a fusion because the only reason they created batman beyond was because the WB wanted to do a teenage Batman story and they said that didn’t make sense so then they created Terry’s character and made him the Batman

[@oldylad]

He still was tho?

Omg I totally agree! I was like, “wtf?! Fuck outta here no way…that’s so dumb”

RIP Kevin Conroy. I am so thankful to my wife that she got me a Cameo from him from my birthday. She knows how much Batman The Animated Series meant to me when growing up. I used it as an escape from reality and i still watch it today to take my mind away at times. He was such a great person outside of the character as well. He is one of those celebrities that touched people's lives.

I've always been interested in Lost media and stuff so this is a great channel Edit: that tribute got me 😢I love you Kevin Conroy

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Thanks man I'm glad you enjoyed! That tribute was my way of showing appreciation for him as Batman. The way I look at it we've had many actors play Batman but he WAS Batman as far as I'm concerned

[@tapinewoods3937]

I wish we got that early Batman vs Hush animated movie with the 2004 Batman. I blame WB for destroying the potential that it could have brought to our childhood. WB wanted more monsters for Batman to fight against but the creators of the sow didn't want that.

In the mid-80's there was a pitch for "The Secret files of the Batman" by Alan Burnett who later worked on developing Batman TAS. Only the pilot got made, titled "The Fear" which was featured in the last SuperFriends series. It was very much a Batman TAS prototype.

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Very interesting, I'd never heard of this before. So if I'm understanding correctly, the pilot was retooled into a superfriends episode and released that way?

[@kirablackstar6130]

So as an addendum to what you already stated about the cancelled Dark Knight video game, the basic action figure line from Mattel does actually include two characters we would have seen in game only, Firefly and Deathstroke. These are both interesting and more realistic takes on the characters in keeping with Nolan's more grounded Batman world, and are worth looking into if you want to see characters that would have existed exclusively in the cancelled game's world.

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Bloody hell I'd completely forgotten that those two had figures in that line. I always thought they were bootlegs when I was a kid because they weren't in the movie 😂. I wonder if they actually were from the game. If they were, it's kind of like how the avengers figure line had a figure of a Skrull from THQ's cancelled avengers game, despite the game never releasing

[@fynnroberts2477]

Great tribute to Kevin. RIP 🦇

[@truwe316]

Fun fact, a video game studio I used to work for (Volition in Champaign IL) actually was making a Batman game but couldn't agree with Warner Brothers over the profits. It was scrapped and the code foundation was reworked to become the Punisher game that came out in 2005. For one of my work anniversaries (and them knowing I was a huge Batman fan), one of my managers set up a PS2 dev kit that had the old demo on it. Played a lot like a poor mans Arkham Asylum but was really great for its time.

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Oh wow, I actually own The Punisher game on the PS2! I had no idea about that batman game until I saw your comment so I checked out some gameplay of the tech demo and it definitely looks interesting. Batman's model looks similar to the one from Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe. Did you have any other info or content from the game or did Volition work for it at a different time to when you worked there?

[@truwe316]

@@MediaSenseiOG Sadly, a different time. I started in 2008. I knew people that were still working there when the studio closed earlier this year but I am not sure if they still have the old PS2 dev kit in storage.

[@tapinewoods3937]

​@@truwe316Oh the lord has sent us one of the developers of the unmade batman game. Do tell me, do you have any work saved from that game? Did that game have any similarities to the unmade Dark knight game?

[@shaysela6989]

Great video, and the tribute at the end was beautiful. The editing for that part was specifically excellent, you chose the best clips to have on screen to reflect what Kevin Conroy RIP was saying

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Thanks a lot! I tried my best to make the tribute at the end a fitting celebration of Batman and his 85 year legacy. I'm really glad you appreciated it. RIP Kevin Conroy, the best Batman to ever do it.

I saw MOTP for the first time in a cinema on Batman Day. Absolutely amazing experience.

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Yeah it almost gives me a new appreciation for the film, seeing the beautiful hand drawn animation on the big screen in a room full of Batman fans. When I went to see it there was a little kid who can't have been older than about 7 years old having the time of his life. That must be a core memory seeing a movie like that on a big screen at such a young age for the first time

[@js2031]

@@MediaSenseiOG interesting most of the people in the cinema with me were adults (a couple in their 70's). One father brought his little boy. I'd only ever seen it on TV (passed me by on initial release). Seeing it in a cinema was amazing. The audio blew me away!

Really good video, but was intrigued that you didn't include the lost/cancelled 4th season of the Batman TV show. Otherwise, enjoyed it.

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Thanks man! Which Batman TV show are you referring to? Was it the 1966 Adam West show? I always thought they cancelled that because the ratings started to nosedive after the third season. Were there actually formal plans for a 4th season? Would be cool to know

[@waynereynolds3232]

@@MediaSenseiOG Hello, NBC offered to do a 4th season of the 1966 show, but someone ordered the sets to be torn down, which would have cost a lot of money to rebuild, so they decided not to go forward with the planned 4th season. At least we got the 2 animated films, with Adam West and Burt Ward voice the Dynamic Duo.

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Oh wow. I had no idea. I wonder how many more seasons they'd have made if the 4th season ended up coming out. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

[@_ChoccooMilkk_]

Great video! The one thing I didn’t know from this video was the CBS Batman show, that was very interesting and who knows where Batman would be today had WB not passed on it. I loved the Kevin Conroy tribute at the end!

30:38 Matt was pretty much the owner of the LoG website before it shut down circa 2023. He'd get a lot of exclusives like interviews with Jeff Matsuda and various other crew members,so he had good reach on stuff

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Ah I see, very interesting. He's definitely a reliable source then so that's good to know. Thanks for the heads up!

[@randallflagg3700]

@@MediaSenseiOG - Matt McNab is a very reliable source, and a very serious collector when it comes to Batman merch. I bought some nice pieces from him over the years. He also published a book about Batman's own toys/gadgets, "Batman's Arsenal", which is a very interesting read that I still have somewhere in my other house... Anyway! That was a cool drawing he got from Jeff Matsuda back then, but as an old school member of the LoG forum, I can't help but think that "The Batman vs Hush" story has been a _tad_ overblown by people who found out about it many years later. There seems to be a lot of people who are somehow under the impression that it was "almost made but scrapped at the last minute", claim that there is lost footage of it, or going as far as to call it a *CANCELLED BATMAN MOVIE/LOST BATMAN MEDIA* or something to that effect. In reality, it was just one of hundreds of ideas that various DC writers threw at the WB executives, and didn't stick to the wall... can we really call it "cancelled/lost" if it was never greenlit in the first place? The poster by Matsuda was just a little bonus to give WB some visual, but that movie had no script, nothing. WB prefered to keep on going with their idea of having the Batman face-off against more Universal Monsters like the Wolf Man, Frankenstein's monster, the Mummy, etc... which didn't pan out in the end. While I'm on the subject of Hush, since my man Rob Allstetter (the guy who started the rumor that, well, the vigilante "Rumor" was originally supposed to be Hush) never gets any credit anymore for that scoop, I figured I would copy-paste the quote that started it all => "We wanted to do a Hush story, but I think DC wanted us to stay away from him for a little while, so this story turned into a villain whose name is Rumor," Burnett said. "He's a guy who's trying to clean up Gotham even more than Batman is. Trying to clear up Gotham to the point of homicidal activity. So he has to be stopped."

[@watts47]

I watched Batman Beyond return of the joker when I was really young and that scene with Tim laughing then crying really stuck with me. I rewatched it for the first time like a year ago

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Yeah that whole sequence really shocked me when I first saw the movie. Such a dark and twisted moment but it's totally something the Joker would do just to get under Batman's skin

I’ve Watched your Past 2 Video and They’re Great. But while Reading the Titles of Both Video (and Intros) I Remembered an Obscure Show that I Use to Watch as Much as I Could Back in 2022 or Earlier. The Series Is A Partially Found. But Most English Voiced Episodes are Still Lost Due to Very Little People Knowing about It. Another Reason it’s So lost and Obscure is Because Kabillion Cancelled it After Low Ratings Came, and It’s High Amount of Sexual jokes Didn’t Make it Better, Especially in Think Extinct. It got To the point where They Deleted Most of the Videos off the Internet. The Cartoon is Called Bunny Maloney if you Want to Search it Up(Playlist on KZbin has Most Episodes). Animation and Humor was Great! (In my Opinion) But it was Just Not for A Kids Channel. You can See That the Writers Wanted to go all Out But Couldn’t.

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Thanks man! Sounds interesting, I may have to give it a look

[@wisconsinking323]

Will you do a part 2?

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Possibly. I found so many other pieces of Batman lost media in my research but a lot of them had been covered already by other channels. If there's anything you'd be interested in seeing though, feel free to let me know and I'll definitely take it into consideration

[@Zeitgeist997]

They made a world war 2 era batman serial with the joker replaced with a Japanese guy

[@doofyproductionsofficial]

My understanding of The Batman vs. Hush is that it was repurposed into the Dracula movie we actually got. The artwork you showed was recycled into the tie-in comic cover with Dracula in the background instead of the Rogues Gallery. I recall reading either Matsuda or Burnett (or both) mentioning it in some interview somewhere (perhaps also the World's Finest site). I'm glad we got other stuff instead of Hush in any case.

[@MediaSenseiOG]

Interesting. Based on what I read, it sounded like they had a plan to introduce Hush eventually but just weren't allowed. While it would've been cool to see him, I understand why they didn't use him, I can't imagine he'd have been a very faithful adaptation of the character. I had no clue they used that artwork for a comic, that's pretty cool since the artwork looks really good. An interesting case nonetheless

[@doofyproductionsofficial]

@@MediaSenseiOG I recommend tracking down the issue if you're a fan of that incarnation. I believe it's The Batman Strikes #15. It's meant to be a teaser prelude, but it actually serves as sort of an Act One deleted scene or an alternate beginning because the Penguin has either already started working for Dracula or Dracula is already active as opposed to being awoken like in the movie (it's been a long time, so please forgive my memory), and it gives us a bit more development of Bruce and Vicky's relationship. It also involves the Kabuki Twins, whom I don't recall being in the movie. That was a good series in general. There were something in the ballpark of 50 issues and they're really enjoyable comics that fit nicely with the cartoon, as well as just being entertaining standalone Batman yarns. They should be fairly cheap in the back issue bins.

[@TreborPaulson]

Love the video Bats has been my favorite superhero since I was a child and any information on him is great One thing though, clear your sinuses, sounds like you got the worst cold I don’t know why I’m complaining, at least you didn’t use an AI voice I should shut up

I did have a cold when I recorded this 🤣. Had been sick for a while but wanted to get the video out so needs must I suppose. Glad you enjoyed regardless. Hopefully for future vids now that I'm feeling a little better I can avoid that

[@GabrielToth-c4y]

What is the art from 2:42 from? Is it a cover?

[@MediaSenseiOG]

I believe it's from an issue of Outsiders. In all honesty I found it online and thought it looked cool so included it here 🤣

[@reddays8448]

I have a question is the dark knight game leak the same as the 08 one?

[@MediaSenseiOG]

To my knowledge there have been two cancelled video games based on The Dark Knight Trilogy. The first one (which we talked about in this video) was made to tie into the release of The Dark Knight in 2008 and was developed by Pandemic and EA, whereas the other game was developed by Monolith presumably at some point between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises' releases but that was scrapped and was eventually repurposed into Shadow Of Mordor which released in 2014. That's likely The Dark Knight game leak you're referring to. Both really interesting cases!

Oh shit!? I’ve seen the physical tome of the manwha batman!! A local comic shop near me in Rotterdam (NL) had it, i got to read it (unable to understand it cause i dont know chinese) but didn’t buy it. Didnt know it was lost media fuck!! So close.

[@MediaSenseiOG]

I'll be honest, on the game's side of batman it feels like a lot had to happen in order for batman Arkham Asylum and the trilogy itself to ever be created, almost like a gifted curse

[@MediaSenseiOG]

The Dark Knight Rises didn't have a tie-in game either. Edit:....oh it had a mobile game lol. Didn't know that. I was thinking purely console games..

[@MediaSenseiOG]

It technically did, Gameloft developed one on mobile as stated in the video. As much as mobile is filled with annoying micro transactions and wonky business practices, it still technically counts as a game platform
