I recently found out that the original script for the Batman Beyond episode "The Last Resort" was originally very different. Writer Stan Berkowitz mentioned that it was written as a response to Columbine and it was originally meant to be a gritty prison story but Kids WB execs objected to the content of the original script feeling it went too far so it got toned down and Stan said the final product barely resembled the original script, i'd LOVE to see the original script for that episode and see what was different. Here's the interview where he talks about it: dcanimated.com/WF/beyond/backstage/interviews/berkowitz.php
