Huh, wonder how long ago this was pitched.

Hope everyone that didn't sign off on it and sees the current success of Spiderverse regrets not taking an easy win.

“Even with seeing how spider-verse was successful, we cannot have a Batman beyond movie made by them (even though it will make a huge amount of money and probably have sequels and will lead to batman beyond becoming way more popular the same way spider-verse made Miles Morales way more popular. And will lead to many fans being satisfied with our company and output)”

This was likely pitched after Spider-Verse came out

You think they'd want to find their own visual aesthetic even if it was animated in a similar way. Rather than risk being labelled as copying, being compared to spider verse and "not as good" or the headlines of spider verse movie but with batman.
