Batman Beyond star Will Friedle says he would love for the series to be revived. The actor, who stars as lead character and Batman of the future Terry McGinnis throughout the series, expressed his hopes for a follow-up while speaking with Comicbookmovie.com. You can read what he said about a return to Batman Beyond below:

"One of the joys of being a voice-over actor is your voice doesn’t necessarily age. It does a little bit, but you can be 45 and still play 17 if you can hit the register. It’s a character who is so important to me, I would love to do more episodes. Not just because I know the fans would really love to see it, but a) I’d get to step back into the cowl again which would be incredible and b) I’d get to work with Kevin Conroy again. He and I are close friends and he’s such a wonderful actor and someone who was a mentor on this side of the acting industry. Knowing we would get to sit down in the booth together again would be phenomenal."

First airing in 1999, Batman Beyond picks up with the DC icon in 2039 and follows the adventures of Terry McGinnis, a teenager on the wrong side of the tracks, who is taken under the wing of an elderly and retired Bruce Wane. Much like his famous predecessor, Terry is driven by remorse and vengeance, and after being gifted with a high-tech bat-suit, decides to use all the gadgets and training Bruce can throw at him to take down criminals in the harsh, crime-ridden Neo-Gotham.

The series remains a fan-favorite, and Friedle is absolutely right that audiences would love to see Batman Beyond back on screens all these years later.

Not only does Friedle back an animated revival, he also goes on to provide his support for a live-action Batman Beyond outing. Audiences have wanted to see the tale told in live-action for some time, with the return of Michael Keaton in the likes of The Flash and Batgirl reinvigorating the idea with the Batman star strongly suggested for the role of the retired Bruce Wayne opposite Terry McGinnis’ new Dark Knight.

"You know, seeing a live-action version would be great. Just seeing the character again is awesome. He’s had such a rich life in the comic book world and I think he deserves to come back on screen in some form. At some point in the future, I’m sure he will. Who knows, but I have to imagine they’ll eventually do a movie or another series. We have continued to hope we’ll do more since the day we ended work on Return of The Joker, so we’d love to make it finally happen."

Voice actor Will Friedle is not the only one with hopes of a Batman Beyond revival, with creator Bruce Timm having offered his support for the idea in the past. But, for now, the decision lies in the hands of Warner Bros. Surely, with the likes of Batman: The Animated Series getting a spiritual sequel in the form of Batman: Caped Crusader, it can only be a matter of time before audiences are taken back to Gotham 2039.
