The trailer for the new Batman animated project I have written about previously has hit the web. This project is a direct-to-video release that features a series of short films that fill in the story gaps between “Batman Begins” and this summer’s “Dark Knight”. I can’t wait to pick this one up on Blu-Ray and see what happens when premiere anime directors tackle the american comic icon.
Last week I wrote about the new Batman animated project. Today I present the first teaser for this project. It really seems like it will be an interesting and exciting exploration of the character, and I am pretty thrilled about the prospect of seeing Batman back in his animated glory.
So Batman is coming back, but not just in the live-action feature films. We are going to a get a return to the Dark Knight’s golden years as Bruce Timm, co-creator of the seminal “Batman: The Animated Series”, helms a new collaboration. Much like the “Animatrix” which tied together the original “Matrix” and its sequel, this animated project will embellish upon the upcoming Batman film.
The project, a collection of six short films, is called “Batman: Gotham Knight” and some of the premiere Japanese animation houses will be involved: Production I.G., Madhouse, and Studio 4C. Rumor has it that Kevin Conroy, the voice from the animated series, will be reprising his role in some capacity for the Direct-to-DVD (and Blu-Ray) release. This definitely is a project to follow, and if the previous series is any indicator, it stands to be a thoughtful, gripping, exciting, and thoroughly bad-ass take on our favorite caped-crusader.
