A new Batman animated OVA, done in the style of anime, is in the works.

Guys, it's Batman. What more do you need to know?

NO WAY.

AWESOME. *DODGES FLYING BATARANGS* Seriously, even if it sucks, it will rock. I hope it's not cartoony kiddy, but gets the nitty gritty of Batman, Dark Knight style (except none of this 50-year-old man stuff). Batman Begins style is good too.

Lots of my friends and I have longed for the day that Young Justice (90s teen superhero comic with Robin, Superboy, Impulse and others) gets a REAL JAPANESE ANIME. I wish it would happen.

this looks to be incredibly awesome. being a big fan of Batman, i am really looking forward to this!!

This might actually be interesting. I wonder how they're going to portray the villains? Joker already looks like a complete psychotic psychopath...

The essential Batman cartoon has already been made.



However, I am still looking forward to this.

I still watch that one whenever I can.

But this anime thing looks like it'll be pretty cool.

Scan.

This is being directed by Bruce Timm, and animated by Studio 4ºC, Production I.G and Madhouse.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to see this.

this sorta reminds me of the Animatrix...except it's Batman!

THE Bruce Timm?

Ohhhhhhh my goodness. This is definitely going to give some stiff competition to the classic 91' cartoons now.

*SILENT SCREAM*

Nitty-gritty dark seinen-anime Batman, bridging "Batman Begins" and "Dark Knight"?

*SILENT SCREEEEEEEEEAM*

THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING.

It's going to be true to form? Awesome!

I believe it's been out for some time now.

The manga was enjoyable, so I'll hope this fares about the same.

Amen as a batman fan i gotta see it, but i hold a soft big place for the cartoon.

Maybe if it's IG, but lol anyone else seen the Ninja Turtle anime OVA? THAT was something else!

there was a manga about batman? o_o

As long as Jeff Matsuda doesn't go anywhere near this version, it'll rock. (He draws the current version. In my opinion, he's ruined it)

Having taken a better look at the site... their intended audience is "core and tweens." Everyone here is the former, but how good can a series intended for the latter be? Also, I hate the word "tweens." This makes me mildly nervous; I half-expect "POW! WHIFFO!" except with a lower frame rate and a flashing background.

I wouldn't think too much of it. The entire DCAU (Batman, Superman, Batman Beyond, Justice League/JLU) was aimed at that audience but with a sizable number of older fans tuning in as well. And Bruce Timm is a really good director.

Plus, I think it's going to rated PG-13...

Oh crud! This is the awesomeness. I definitely will be looking foward to this OVA.

Is this the same thing as the Batman:Child of Darkness(or whatever the
subtitle was)that the creator of Silent Mobius did?

No. See my prior post for information regarding that (it's "Child of Dreams," for the record).

PG13 is a bit more promising. I guess I have an unduly low opinion of the "tween" crowd.

PG-13 sounds OK in my book for some awesome thing like this!

I don't know batman the animated series was the best so far

I think Child of Dreams would make a pretty terrific anime in and of itself.
It has a wonderful storyline and the twist and turns make it something that really grabs you.

That is the honest to goodness truth!
