YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
It would blow my mind to get the animated series in full remaster with a bunch of features. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the show, and 2019 will be the year of Batman for his big 80th anniversary, so what better time is there than now to make this happen. It is very strange to me that a show considered to be one of the greatest of all time, and starring DC and Warner's golden boy, hasn't gotten a remaster treatment yet.
You deliberately chose not to show the one with the nipples to make your point...
Sweet! Yes, one can only hope BTAS follows! Greatest animated show of all time.
It is bad enough as it is.
So bad it's good.

I normally don't post fan trailers but Uhm I don't know how I feel on Bruce Willis as Batman I always saw him more as Gordon....
Thoughts?
Jennifer Connelly could play a tough DA, bent on bringing the Batman down, while maybe dating Bruce Wayne. There's an episode in the Animated Series, one of my favourites in fact, in which such an occasion presents itself. A DA, dating Wayne but loathing the Batman, has to actually defend him in front of Judge Joker after she and Batman have been captured by the Arkham inmates. The episode ends with her saying something to the likes of, "I'll keep fighting for a Gotham without a Batman", to which Batman answers, "So will I." Amazing stuff. I can see Connelly pull something like that off.
John Cusack? Hm... Haven't thought about him in a long time... How about him being a decent Riddler? Like the Riddler from the Arkham games?
Also John Travolta and Johnny Depp if I am being 110% honest
Matt Reeves wants to do a Batman trilogy so assuming he gets to if you could pick one previously used villain (joker penguin catwoman two-face riddler mr freeze poison Ivey bane scarecrow ra's al ghul Zsasz Talia Al ghul KGBeast killer croc dead shot Harley Quinn) and the rest unused what would your trilogy look like
The batman: Deathstroke black mask
Gotham: Clayface Hush
Bruce Wayne: penguin mad hatter
That is my trilogy what is yours
I feel like Bane and Scarecrow were great in The Dark Knight trilogy so we don't really need to see them anytime soon. Ra's al Ghul and Talia al Ghul don't need to come back unless they plan on bringing in Damien Wayne to do a Batman and Son story.
Already used:
Catwoman but more as an anti-hero type.
Joker, Harley Quinn, and Two Face are a must for me.
Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy need redemption from Batman & Robin.
Penguin I want a more accurate version of him than the mutated one we got in Batman Returns.
Riddler with either Niel Patrick Harris or Jim Parsons in the role.
Not yet used:
Death Stroke which I believe we are getting for Justice League and/or The Batman.
Red Hood I'm sure is going to happen at some point because they set it up in BvS.
Calendar Man maybe for a Long Halloween story.
Fire Fly but not as a main villain.
I'm just going to stop there because I could go on and on. Batman has one of the greatest rogues galleries and there are too many to choose from.

Batman the telltale series season 2, starts next month.
---
Point and click style games have their purpose, but Batman isn't one. When you look at the fluid combat of Arkham Asylum/Arkham CIty, who in their right mind would think that taking that control away from the player is a good idea. I watched the RazörFist Arcade videos of the first telltale Batman game, and after playing the Arkham games, these new ones look tedious to play. If I have so little control as to what it going on, then I might as well go and watch Batman Returns.
I'm also not enthused to play yet another Batman game where Joker gets the spotlight again. Batman has the best villains of any comic hero and yet these devs waste their time on Joker, who has shined for over seventy years. Give the other greats a shot.
Oh not again. A rogues gallery as populated as that of Batman, and they keep going back to Joker. I am not a die hard Batman fan. What I know about the world of Batman pales greatly to many here, especially yourself @0BradyM0Bondfanatic, but even I know that there is a wealth of other villains to chose from. A lot of my knowledge (what I do have) of Batman villains has come from the character profile pages of those two games. Before Arkham Asylum, I didn't even know that there were Batman villains called Calendar Man, The Great White Shark, Killer Croc, Black Mask or Mr Zsasz. I get it, The Joker is the #1 villain, but it's like in Doctor Who when they keep using The Daleks so much, they loose whatever shock factor there might be in bringing them back after a prolonged absence. I'd like to see more of The Riddler.
@MajorDSmythe, absolutely. Even Batman's C class villains, or ones under the radar, are amazingly promising when it comes to how they could be used. Have a story with Zsasz exploring both the obsession of his character and Bruce's to his mission for Gotham. Have the Ventriloquist in a story that showcases control and masks, where Bruce hides behind his Scarface in the form of Batman. You could have a whole episode devoted to Batman finding kidnapped blondes while discovering the twisted world of Mad Hatter, or another where a holiday related crime group drives him to seek out Calendar Man, not to mention one with Scarecrow where Bruce goes to Crane for therapy relating to his parents' deaths and grows suspicious of the man's obsessions in his fears that connects to the man's secret schemes in the city.
The roads to travel are endless for the major and minor rogues, but why not just give us yet another Joker story that tells the same thematic message as we've heard a million times before? After Heath played him and Hamill closed out his Arkham work WB should've stepped back on his use and let him cool. As you said, the more a villain appears the less impact they have each time. Joker is probably my favorite villain in at least two different mediums, but I want to see less of him.
When WB gave us Leto with his Joker tats and gangster jewelry, I knew they'd taken their proliferation of the character too far.
I bow to your knowledge of Batman, there. Mad Hatter, and Scarface were also villains that I have not heard of until the Arkham games. I suppose you could say that Jokers notoriety is both a blessing and a curse. He is probably the most well known villain, at least in comics. The downside is that developers feel compelled to use him as the villain all of the time.
I haven't seen that film (but I wanted to see Jena Malone as Harley Quinn sooo badly*. Of any female character in Batmans world, Harley Quinn is the one that would suit her most), but I have seen clips and images of Leto as Joker. He looks like a douchey boy band reject. He doesn't instill fear in me, he aggravates me just like Jessie Eisenberg did in Batman v Superman.
*I would have settled for any role that might have lead to her own film in the DCU, but I should have know it wouldn't happen, really. I mean, she isn't a bankable A list star like say.... Scarlett Johansson.
