Interesting.

I'm glad that DC ponied up the dollars to make this happen.

I always wondered if Thunder Agents could be done this way.

The animations are good, but I hope they will be even better when I hear sound from a decent sound system, because mine sound system really s*cks now :(

He's a Western character. Ninja's are basically known for not really having a code of honor, stealing from everyone, and killing left and right. Even in his darkest days, the (current-era) Batman is certainly no killer.

If Bruce Timm is in... I'll just have to believe that this will rock. Also I am do enjoy the Anime I'm just not really into it.

Bruce looks like a kid, a kid! People always say animation this and animation that, the only difference is the ART STYLE. I don't see him moving any different than any other cartoon.

At least it's not Marvel animation. Most of Marvel's animated shows look like Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

Warner Brothers has got it right in the past with the Batman/Superman/Justice League shows done in a modern Fleischer style.

Batman is not a samurai. He is a ninja. Batman Begins was good BECAUSE it showed us Bruce Wayne's determination to become a ninja, but use his powers for good. And for revenge.

Sometimes I wonder why I even read the text and don't keep to the videos and pretty pictures.
@RRich: Agree and am keeping my fingers crossed on that one!
@Cin: Again agree, Timm and Dini made Batman:TAS better any of the Burton or Schumacher movies.

After all, he is a playboy in his alter ego. It'll be cool to see a different interpretation of the Bat, keeps things interesting over the years. Planetary/Batman: Night on Earth had a rundown of various bat-incarnations and it was awesome.

@Gospel X: Yeah, anime is like any other medium, you have to find the good stuff yourself.

The action sequences look fantastic! And yay, Deadshot!

I will concede that perhaps having Japanese houses try to draw American-style characters was at the root of the problem. Maybe this is a opportunity for the Japanese artists to draw the way they know best?

@Gospel X: I agree... Bats got orphan issues, not master issues. They must be confusing Bats for Robin...

Seriously, it's just another storytelling medium, and there are some great scifi stories there. People need to cut the pretension.

Speaking of pretension, did anyone listen to the interviews? These people were trying to sound a lot smarter than they are by throwing in stereotypical Japanese ideas to describe how Batman works with anime. "He is searching for a new master." No, if anything, Batman has a FATHER complex. Master? Jesus... And Batman and Deadshot are both like samurai? Damn, no. Why not just say that you're interested in seeing what the Japanese can do with a very Western character and that you appreciate the visuals they tend to present. Don't give us that other crap.

But I am looking forward to this. I wasn't a huge fan of the Animatrix, but this is different. Batman are more focused than Matrix stories anyway, so this could be some good stuff. Definitely looking forward to Batmanime.

Go get "Batman: The Animated Series". Now THAT was a Batman animation that was worth watching. Between reinventing many villains (like Mr Freeze) to be more serious and complex, to being often very adult oriented (at least in season 1), it's a minor masterpiece in my opinion. And Batman actually acts like a DETECTIVE in a lot of it, trying to figure out wtf he's doing before diving in face first.

Hopefully this will keep to heart some of the things established in B:TAS

So Batman and Bruce Wayne would at one point turn into butterflies, then go through time as they attempt to find true love only to turn into massive super-ego entities that embrace until Bruce becomes a child again and e-x-p-l-o-d-e-s.

then alfred would be a giant wind-up robot toy.

I like it!

Boo for anime style feminine looking Bruce Wayne, and weird crooked lips.

I thought the current The Batman animated series was anime. I'm happy with it as is.

The interviewees, while windbaggy, were right about one thing: Batman is the best. done.

Anime is a comic-based form, and really an anime Batman interpretation is logical and approrpriate to both traditions. Anime is the most vital media for scifi & fantasy around-- this stuff is gonna be great. I'm just glad they let the Japanese pros animate it instead of doing american designed "anime-style" animation (a la Teen Titans) .

You are right about the comparison to Animatrix, because I couldn't sit through that one either.
