Well, I\'m very impressed. I can keep up with the stylistic redesigns so long as Batman is relatively untouched. This was a very well done video animation and direction wise.

:ghey:
-
I prefer the original in the early 90\'s but the new generation will probably like this more.
-
So Batman\'s gone anime?
I agree with the above. :ghey:
-
It is better than expected since the guy in charge of the project said he did not care what the Batman fans liked or wanted.

That is rather stupid. Didnt seem that bad. I wish it had a more mature mood like the old one but i cant say its bad.
-
the justice league batman is still the coolest animated batman
-
I liked the Batman Beyond style.
-
I did too. When it first came out i thought it was the $#!t because it had a more mature atmosphere like the older one and the action/animation was good. Then it just went downhill for me.

Why is it anime and not just a "cartoon"? I like it I like Batman Beyond also I wish they wouldnt have stop that one and the New Justice Leauge is aight too.
-
That style isnt what people call anime at all. So what cored said is invalid :p Personally i wouldnt care to see a real anime batman. I cant imagine it so it would be interesting to see sombody try to pull it off.
-
It looked alright. 90\'s batman all the way bitches!
-
There are definitely shots and elements that were picked up from Anime. It is not totally Anime, but there was definitely an influence. If you like it, fine. I do not.

I like the New Justice League. They have Robin Hood on their now. He\'s a mack daddy.
IDK if i like the idea of turning batman into anime though.

Do you know the comic orgins of the hero? HMMPH!
As for the show - haven\'t watched any teasers, but I had WB added to my channel list on Dish just for the show.

It\'s going to suck really bad. I know it. Wait till you find out how Batman "solves" the crime without using any logic! hahahahaha

Honestly, I do think it will suck. The show has always been aimed at the kids (which itself is not a bad thing, \'Teen Titans\' rocks), but so far, I have seen nothing I was very fond of. The new character designs don\'t appeal to me, the idea of the Batcave benig in a sewer and no Gordon is all pretty big hits.

Watched it. Hated it.
Btw LIC clean your pm box. Impossible to send you a pm.

Wow. It has been awhile since the Batman franchise has left a bad taste in my mouth, well since, the Batman & Robin movie, but it\'s happened again. I am not quite sure where to start, but I will try and make a list of the flaws of this series.
- Let\'s start off with what people are going to notice first off - the new designs. Make no mistake, this is not Bruce Timm\'s Batman, gone are the square bodies, replaced with angular edges. Gone are the black backgrounds, replaced with a distinct anime style. The animation itself is not half bad, the fight scenes are well done. However, the new designs need a lot of work. And I do mean a lot of work. The (in keeping with the series "the" theme_ series has taken a drastic turn, the only character that truly works for the series is The Batman. Bruce himself looks terrible, like he was ripped from \'The Jackie Chan Adventures\' and so does the rest of the "normal" people. And let\'s not forget the newest and biggest redesign, \'The Joker\'. Oh god.. I understand the series wanted to try something new, but at some point you are actually butchering the character. He looks terrible. Downright terrible.
- Voice acting...Terrible. What else can I say? The Batman sounds sixteen, Alfred sounds way off , almost like he is anrgy everytime he speaks and Joker, well, let\'s just say whoever is doing his voice has no clue about the character. He doesn\'t sound crazy, he just sounds like a thug.
- The writing is extremely weak. We get corny lines such as " crime flies", "The Police!", "I gotta work on the stops" and many more. Not only is the dialouge corny, but the plot is weak. We never get a true feel for any of the characters or their purpose. Batman acts almost like Spider-Man, Bruce is way to happy and Joker is nothing more than a common thug. It\'s pathetic.
- Now for the various things. The "bat-wave", a gimmick that when on screen sends a signal to toys in the home and causes a reaction. The thing is simply annoying. The fact that Wayne Manor is in the middle of the city, the bat-cave being located in the sewers and various other things just add for a very disjointed Batman series.
Yes, it\'s safe to say I hated the series. I will stick around for the series though, a lot of things can change. The writers may become more comfortable with the material, same with the voice actors (tho\' hopefully some of the other villians will be feature better voice actors). Do I think it\'ll happen? No, but I will stick around to see the Batman develop.No matter how bad that may be.

LiC\'s assessment is pretty spot-on, but I would also like to add that the show is insulting the intelligence of children. Come on, Batman deflates a balloon full of Joker-gas in the river to defuse the situation? Wouldn\'t that make everything 10 times worse? Wow. How stupid can the writers be?

But, but, wouldn\'t the gas just sink to the bottom, the bubble up and fizzle out?
;)
Next week\'s episode is called "Call of the Copplepot" , so we can look forward to see\'ing the new redesigned Penguin. After that is "Traction", which will feature the new red Bane.

As far as different version of batman I like Batman Beyond way more than this show why couldnt some have kept writing that one.
