February 13, 2020: There will be a new 6 issue mini-series titled Batman: The Adventures Continue set in the continuity that started in Batman: The Animated Series. It is written by Paul Dini and Alan Burnett and illustrated by Ty Templeton. It ties into the upcoming DC Collectibles releases. Superman, Lex Luthor, Jason Todd/Red Hood, Azrael, and Deathstroke will appear. The stories do take place before the events of the flashback in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. It will be a digital first series, Issue #1 releases in April then in stores on May 6. The cover is by Dave Johnson and the variant cover is by Dan Mora. Covers and interior art is previewed. In Issue #1, there are two mysteries: a giant robot breaks into Wayne Enterprises and steals an entire laboratory and Luthor mysteriously returns to Gotham. It's a semi sequel to "World's Finest" and there is someone in the shadows observing it all, stakes out the Batman family who he knows very well, and watches them with a mixture of amusement and deep hatred. The Batman family has no idea who he is or what he wants. One of the issues will be an intense Azrael storyline where he comes to Gotham on a mission of death to recover something that's been stolen from the Order of St. Dumas and brings him into conflict with Batman, who attempts to stop him from murdering members of the Gotham underworld as they try to figure out who stole it and why.

January 15, 2023: Interview with Jordan Gibson about Batman: The Adventures Continue. Gibson and Monica Kubina were confused about the long lead time because they started on Season III #1 around March 2022 but the extra time was used to fine tune art. Gibson delved into the influences of the animated series crew he wasn't familiar with yet like EC comics and Alex Toth and art of Darwyn Cooke and Glen Murakami. Gibson also watched a lot of Alfred Hitchcock, tried to adapt the Dark Deco style, went on websites with second for second screencaps of Batman: The Animated Series episodes for reference, and didn't change much on Lock-Up for the The New Batman Adventures design style aside from the belt. Gibson spent the most time on Black Mask, was the most excited to draw him, tried to stick close to his look in Season II but wanted white eyes, looked up any creepy skull designs Bruce Timm and Glenn Murakami ever drew, and looked at Batman: Under the Red Hood movie and pulled a little from it. In notes in script, Esther Valestra was supposed to look kind of like Liza Minnelli then got feedback from Dini or Burnett asking to make her look more like Liza. Gibson tried to keep Janet Van Dorn the same but studied suit designs of characters in The New Batman Adventures and adapted from there and pondered how Amanda Waller would look in The New Batman Adventures then ultimately went with white and black for her suit. Gibson looked at movies for a design of injector needle at the end of the story. Gibson also pulled from Marshall Rogers' Batman art like the flowing cape and Batarang throw.

January 19, 2023: Interview with Paul Dini and Alan Burnett about Batman: The Adventures Continue Season III. Things clicked when Muscle was fashioned as a reverse Batman. The ending in Issue #1 has a pay off and is a big part of season III that is a recurrent theme. Deadshot will appear "pretty soon." Esther Valestra is a sort of cross between Ma Barker and Liza Minnelli. Issue #2 began with a germ of an idea Dini had for a long time to have a story where Batman can't discuss his connection to the woman in common with Harley Quinn. The idea for Deathstroke, Sunny, and Jason Todd has grown bigger in time and Dini thinks the story could continue as a graphic novel or one-shot. So far, Mr. Wing won't appear in season III.
