20 Years Ago This Week, Warner Bros Butchered An Incredible DC Movie (& Took 2 Years To Fix It)

Originally planned for a Halloween 2000 release, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker faced delays due to concerns about violence in media following the 1999 Columbine High School tragedy. Warner Bros. executives worried about the film’s content and asked the creators to make significant edits. As a result, the movie wasn’t released until December 2000. It took two years and a large number of fan requests, but the original, uncut version of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker was eventually released.
