Sometimes it’s easy to overlook the sheer multitude of Batman projects going on at once. Not only did he get a brand spanking new Batman #1 on comic shelves today, he also has new footage for his latest animated movie that’s sure to be a stocking stuff this christmas.
I like the animation and I like the style. It seems really close to Bruce Timm’s style, which was used in Batman TAS, and more recently in Justice League Unlimited.
I’m not sure about Brian McKenzie’s rendition of Batman. I guess I shouldn’t be hoping for something as refined as Kevin Conroy’s work with the character, and maybe it will be a good storytelling tool as the actor is as inexperienced at being Batman as our caped crusader.
The tone and everything else easily meet my lofty expectations as the folks involved have mastered the art of translating these characters and their world into animation. I’m really looking forward to this one and will be sure to review for you guys as soon as I get my copy.
