http://voicesfromkrypton.net/vfk-exclusive-dc-tooniverse-bruce-timm-steps-down-as-producer/There’s a change coming to the DC Tooniverse, and not just with the cancellation of Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series, but in terms of the continuing series of made for Blu-ray/DVD films that began with Superman Doomsday in 2007 and will next be represented by this May’s Superman Unbound. Most notably, Bruce Timm, who has been guiding the vast majority of things DC animated since the debut of Batman: The Animated Series in 1992, has stepped down from his position as producer, initially to have focused his energies on GL and, more significantly, to develop some of his own projects. Stepping into his place as supervising producer is James Tucker.
“Bruce had done a lot since Justice League Unlimited ended,” explains Tucker, “so it’s been quite a haul. I can’t speak for him, but I think going out on Dark Knight Returns was a special thing for him. If he was going to make the break, that seemed like a good time.”
Nothing is confirmed in terms of Bruce Timm's future with DC/WB animation... but it does seem like he's done with the movies at the very least.
I'll be very sad to see Bruce Timm leave the DC characters behind (If thats the case)... but I think this will ultimately be a good thing for him. He's far too talented to remain in a supervising producer position. I want to see him get his hands dirty again.
Plus... I like James Tucker. So, oh well.
