With superhero media at its peak and the multiverse concept gaining traction in both DC and Marvel franchises, Writer and Director <strong>Michael Yu<\/strong> believes that now is the perfect time to introduce a fresh take on the iconic character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Batman: Year One<\/em> is set several months after Terry McGinnis discovers Bruce Wayne&#8217;s identity and takes on the role of Batman. The story follows Terry as he faces the resurfaced crime organization, the Royal Flush Gang, a longtime enemy of Batman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/batmanbeyong-royal-flush-gang.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/batmanbeyong-royal-flush-gang.png 680w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/batmanbeyong-royal-flush-gang-300x175.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><figcaption><em>Artwork by DCAU Roy Hakim<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cast for Terry and Bruce remains a surprise for now, with the team teasing that they have found the perfect actors to bring the characters to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creating the world of Neo Gotham is no small feat, requiring cutting-edge visual effects combined with practical production design. Luckily, there&#8217;s no shortage of talent on the team behind this project, including <strong>Ian Hussey<\/strong> as the cinematographer, <strong>Jay Kwon<\/strong> as the action director, <strong>Susanna Song<\/strong> as the costume designer, <strong>Marc de Bertier<\/strong> as the production designer,<strong> Chris of Gc5<\/strong> <strong>FX<\/strong> as the prop and costume maker, <strong>Luke Gibleon<\/strong> as the sound designer, <strong>David Corwin<\/strong> as the composer, and <strong>Neil Craig<\/strong> as the VFX supervisor. The team&#8217;s expertise in post-production and VFX will be crucial in delivering the immersive, futuristic backdrop that fans have come to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/gotham-city-concept-art.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/gotham-city-concept-art.jpg 680w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/gotham-city-concept-art-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the core team investing heavily in the project and relying on volunteer work and support, additional funding is required to truly bring <em>Batman: Year One<\/em> to life. The Kickstarter campaign has a base goal of $50,000, and funds will be distributed to evenly compensate the cast and crew and cover the technical and logistical aspects of the production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team has designed exciting rewards to show their appreciation for donors&#8217; support, focusing primarily on digital items for earlier reward tiers. As the reward tiers increase, limited physical objects, including props from the film, are available to backers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As fans rally behind the project, it&#8217;s evident that the appetite for a live-action adaptation of <em>Batman Beyond<\/em> is strong. As the campaign progresses, the creators of <em>Batman Beyond: Year One<\/em> have expressed that this is just the beginning. Their ultimate goal is to pave the way for a larger story that continues Terry&#8217;s journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/lumisent\/batman-beyond-year-one-fan-film\"><em>Batman Beyond: Year One<\/em> Kickstarter campaign<\/a> for more details and show your support with a donation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nYou can support a live-action adaptation of the cult classic Batman Beyond starting today.\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=42286\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Batman: Year One &#8211; Ambitious Fan-Film Kickstarter Campaign Takes Flight&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":104,"featured_media":42287,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[6,9],"tags":[1202,408],"class_list":["post-42286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-film-tv","category-movies","tag-batman-beyond","tag-kickstarter","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Batman: Year One - Ambitious Fan-Film Kickstarter Campaign Takes Flight - The Cultured Nerd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=42286\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Batman: Year One - Ambitious Fan-Film Kickstarter Campaign Takes Flight - The Cultured Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"You can support a live-action adaptation of the cult classic Batman Beyond starting today.
