Post subject: Someday I hope to be THE Batman

Ok after reading the news pack. See some of us do read it. I saw the bit about "The Batman". And the description doesnt sound that promising. I thought we were supposed to get "Batman:Year 1". And here we are getting some weird alternate gen-x universe?
Has any more news, screenshots, scripts, or names shown up on this yet?

Warner Bros. is supposed to formally announce the show Monday (or later today, as I look at the clock).
Although it appears that Rino Romano (Peter Parker, Spider-Man Unlimited) will voice Bruce Wayne/Batman, and Adam West will be the Mayor of Gotham City.

ooooook... Now lets see here. Im ok with Adam West doing a voice. I mean after all one of my favorite episodes of Batman:TAS is the Grey Ghost episode most people havent seen. Heck i even thought of Adam West when they referenced Grey Ghost twice in Beyond. But this will be the first Animated batman since TAS without Kevin Conroy doing the voice of Bats.
Am i the only one looking at this and not getting warm and fuzzies from it? |

| I'm willing to give it a chance, a slight one. I'll give it about 3 episodes to convince me. Maybe 1. I'm not to sure. Anyway, It could actually not be to bad, the biggest kill in the superhero animation I've noticed is they tend to go cheap on the animation itself. X-Men: Evolution is (was) probably the only other SH show that didn't. Avengers blew, Spider-Man Unlimited blew... the 1994 spider-man wasn't too bad, sivler surfer-- same deal. You get the point. There are many shows it could be like, it's just a matter of being able to wait and see. |

Oh here, this is for you.
Warner Bros. Animation will produce The Batman, a new animated series based on the DC Comics character, for Kids WB and Cartoon Network, the studio formally announced today.
The series, which will feature a continuity unrelated to the classic Batman: The Animated Series, will be about a young Batman in the third year of his crime-fighting career as he struggles to establish himself as the protector of Gotham City while balancing his crime-fighting role with his public persona as billionaire bachelor Bruce Wayne. Such classic Rogue's Gallery villains as the Joker, the Penguin, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, the Riddler and the Man-Bat will appear in stories that detail Batman's first encounters with them.
Batman himself, who will be in his mid-twenties, will live beneath elevated train tracks and within a 150-year-old drainage system, battling adversaries with experimental Bat-gadgets and amped-up Batmobiles. His arsenal of equipment will all be operated and linked by an advanced remote-controlled invention he dubs the "Bat-Wave."
The series' theme song will be performed by U2 member The Edge. No other details of cast or crew have been announced, but Variety confirms that Adam West will appear as the Mayor and that Gina Gershon will voice Catwoman.
"To me, this is a dream project. Batman is the ultimate action-adventure property, and I've been a fan all of my life," says Sam Register, senior vice president of original animation at Cartoon Network. "The characters will remain true to their heritage, but we're going to deliver an action-adventure show that will feel so fresh and stylish that today's kids will love it as much as we all did growing up. I think this new Batman animated series will be a show that kids and their parents will watch together."

| Is it going to be cell shaded? Some of the screenshots look that way. But its visual style looks a lot different then the old shows. It couldnt hurt to give the show a new shot in the arm if its done right. |

| I'm thinking it's going to look more like Teen Titans. It has a feel between Batman Yaer One and Teen Titans. |

I just hope the writers can do it justice. They can make or break a series no matter how good it does/doesn't look.

Wait? Rino is Bat's? No no no that's doesn't work!
Rino can't be Spider-Man AND Batman. That's just too much of a stretch.

Well they both launch scientifically made lenghts of cable onto buildings to basically fly between them. They both have dead parents. They both have unfulfilled love between them and a woman they are trying to avoid. But later that becomes their bride. Except in Bat's case it ends in a very very depressing way that only long time comic readers would know about. Their both highly intelligent. Spidey has his "Spidey Sense". Bat's uses technology to give him the same ability. In "The Batman" hes in his early 20's. And Spidey will always be in his mid 20's
See their are parallels. (scratches head and hopes spellings right) |

It's the princepal!
I guess if GL and Static have the same VA's that Batman and Spider-Man can too. Still... Rino doens't have a grim enough tone to be Bat's IMO.
