all joking aside, i can't wait to see the finished product. and i fail to see how batman wouldn't kick ass in an anime movie of these types.

Don't count on it. Movie games usually suck; Batman Begins was certainly no exception. Developers don't give a damn about movie games--they save all their innovations and effort for their "real" projects, as opposed to projects studios pawn on them. Starbreeze is one of the few developers who seem to put their best effort into adaptations (See Riddick and The Darkness, both excellent adaptation games), but sadly Starbreeze aren't the ones developing TDK.

Pandemic > Starbreeze.

Pandemic's Star Wars Battlefront was incredible, and IMO the best Star Wars game out there (take that KOTOR). Pandemic (supposedly) has spent over a year on this project already and still have another year to go.

The Dark Knight Game will be good, or I will eat Advanced Dark's hat.

I am still wary.

I am still wary.

Me too, but I'll probably buy it - ever hopeful! I kinda liked the BB game, at least for a couple levels, but the "sneak then scare then button-mash" formula got old. Something free-roaming would be cool, dealing with a major story but also plenty of other stuff to explore.

 

[StorminNorman]

This story for TDK sounds very promising for a free roaming game. Having to take down multiple gangs, plus the Joker, plus Riddler (?) - Two Face (?). Very interesting.

Also - I wonder if the TDK game will incorporate the animated series?

 

[I-T-B]

Them saying anime style rather than just anime makes me think it will be a similar style to The Batman, which I would be cool with, I actually really enjoy that show. What I would really, really love to see is a style similar to Star Wars: Clone Wars, or even Samurai Jack. Uber stylised could definitely work for Batman.

 

[Superman-Prime]

- 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'm definitely going to buy DVD when it is release.

Let's hope for a 1:1 movie prop of the grapnel gun!!!!

The Bale Batman Anime series is one of those things that I've dreamed about in the past but thought was too awesome to happen.

 

[StorminNorman]

I am personally glad they are not going with the Dini/Timm look for the animated series. I have grown tired of it for Batman, personally.


Though a Dini/Timm Green Arrow show would bust my chops

WOW. THis is ****in creepy as ****. About two weeks ago I saw Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, and the whole time I was saying to myself "Damn I wish they made a mature Batman cartoon like this". I kept watching the way his cape looked and how it would take on bat shapes in the wind. EVERY time I thought of Bats. And whats creepier, In my own little fantasy world, I was saying to myself, "But damn, it would be the **** if he was in all black". I really hope this is dark and brutal. But it kinda has to be doesn't it. I really hope it looks like VHD or Afro Samurai. Bale has and anime chin anyway. Can't wait!

 

[Steelsheen]

i wanna see how the "anime style" Batman is gonna look. if its gonna be something where the eyes occupy more than half the face then i'm gonna hate it.

 

[Nepenthes]

I'm thinking this series will be geared more towards children, Nolans movies are kinda lacking this appeal and Batman needs to be reinvented yet again for em youngins.

I hope the animation looks similair to the Spawn HBO toons.




Can someone please post the BB animation style designs by whomever works on The Batman? Might be close to what we'll get. Looking back, those toony designs were actually pretty similair to how the TDK suit ended up.

What kind of time period can there be between the two films, Batmans already on the jokers case at the end of begins.
Nice idea though

Introduction of Harvey, possible scarring of Joker, introduce Maroni and other gangs looking to take Falcone's place.

These are DTV movies based in the movie universe. They're not going to be aimed at kids. They have The Batman for that. Making another "The Batman" would be redundant.

And visually, I would imagine that we'll see character designs in a more realistic style than anything we've seen in BTAS and The Batman.

 

[turtlefocker]

cant wait

[Crook]

Is that real?

 

[BatMatt]

don't suppose Bale would be able to voice this sucker eh?

 

[lujho]

I think there's a good chance he will. It's just a single project, not an ongoing TV series or anything. He did the game for Begins didn't he?

Those drawings are nice, what we can see of them. Definitely not kiddyfied anime. It won't make sense to have any other suit than the Begins one though, if he's got it at the start of TDK.

 

[FCEEVIPER]

Just more TDK goddes for me to purchase.

I can't wait for that DK anime.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Why does it have to be anime! I may skip

 

[FCEEVIPER]

I'm a Batman ****e, so I will buy anything concerning Bats.

 

[Juanigi]

the little anime sheet seems pretty fake
