Dark Knight fans rejoice :grin: I just found this and I must say I am excited:

A direct-to-video anime-style series that takes place in the time period between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, and further explores the Batman legend.

I wonder which villians they will use for this series and how long it will be.

Clayface is my favorite Batman villian, but I don't think I want to see what anime would do to his design.

So all the villains are going to be ninja masters thowing down with the dark kight in every episode. No wait, we already have that with "the Batman". I stopped watching this stupid show when the Penguin fights light a martial arts master.

Batman the Animated Series has been the only one to get it right so far.

The Batman is not that bad. However, it is now where near as good as Batman the Animated Series, which I now own the complete series of :grin:

When the Penguin fights like a ninja, yeah it's that bad. Don't even get me started on their lame ass Joker.

Hey, I also have the complete Animated series. I got the last box set as a Christmas present last year. That show even managed to get the Clock King to seem cool.

I also have the complete Batman Beyond series which is also better then The Batman. I just got the second season of the Animated series form Barns and Nobles this past week. Now I have all the Bruce Timm stuff (Batman, Batman movies, Superman and the Superman movie, JLA and JLU, and Batman Beyond.)

Batman Beyond is so much better than I ever gave it credit for when it originally aired. I'm so glad my friend made me watch the DVDs. It also helped me appreciate the last JLU episode so much more.

You know, in this anime movie thing. I don't want any notable villain to show up in it. Maybe revisit Scarecrow or something.

Save guys like Clayface, especially Clayface, for a big screen feature.

Maybe allude to someone showing up in a future film, but lets keep the super villains out of this stuff, otherwise we miss out on what could be a kick-ass movie.

If you mean "Epilogue", it isn't the last JLU episode.

Hotrod, you are far behind, I've had all of Batman:TAS, Batman Beyond, JL and JLU since the day the last DVDs of Batman Beyond and JLU hit the stores.

I agree that The Batman screwed up a lot of the villians. I'm thankful that I can tolerate what they did with Clayface in it.

I agree with Senor Hugo. I so want to see Clayface, done correctly, on the big screen.

It's not likely that someone like the Mad Hatter would appear in a live action movie.

He's one of my favorite villains, so I'd like to see him again

Senor Hugo said to keep the SUPER villains out of this anime and having villians like Scarecrow. Mad Hatter is a villain like Scarecrow who uses technology.

They could have it as a trio of Mad Hatter, Riddler, and Scarecrow. That would work quite well.

:lol:

He also said notable villains though.

Even if not many people know about the Hatter.

But the Riddler, Hatter, and Scarecrow would make an excellent flick

Nice!


I'm a big fan of Joker. I don't think I could ever get bored of him.
