By Update: The previously-mentioned lack of the total proof (and that’s the truth, Ruth) was wisely-noted. Umberto Gonzalez is a reporter for The Wrap, who below Tweets that sources of his have dismissed the rumored feature animation.
No, there is NO BATMAN BEYOND movie in development! Their official word is "Not true. We are not working on an animated Batman Beyond movie." In fact, to be extra sure, it was checked & shot down at Warner Animation Group on feature side, DC FILMS, & WB Animation on TV side. pic.twitter.com/fei3bczq0F

I know many of you are upset about BATMAN BEYOND not happening but so I am. Don't you think if it was even remotely true besides TheWrap, my very well sourced colleagues at THR, Variety, or Deadline would have easily picked it up? Just sayin…

Womp womp. Still, it isn’t as if they would come out and say “Oh yeah, those images that weren’t supposed to surface are totally legit.” More skepticism needed, but keep the flame of hope flickering.
Original story follows.
Though the facts remain to be made 100 percent fool-proof, (Bat) signals point to Warner Animation Group developing a feature-length animation based on the Batman Beyond series of the late-’90s/early-2000s.
Geeks WorldWide reported on a Reddit post leaking images from inside WAG, showing concept art for something batty in the works.
Sources told GWW that the images were in fact related to the Batman Beyond film, which would seem to be aiming for a 2020 production start, hinted by the another image detailing production schedules.

WorldWide’s source mentions the film to be a response to some Spider-Man animated movie that Marvel put out. Who’da thunk? I’ll say though, it does make perfect sense. Spider-Verse‘s smash success shows audience’s willingness to embrace a visually-dazzling adaptation of their favorite heroes, and DC was ahead of the game between Beyond and the much-loved Batman: The Animated Series.
And hey, if that Affleck-less Batman film bombs, maybe this will be a strong point!
