Yay.
I would be thrilled if series made a come back.
I too would like more episodes. It was an awesome series that I own all of on DVD.
I’m kind of annoyed the stole my catchphrase: “I need every drop of her precious blood for my experiment”.
…I read one of the interviews Timm’s gave about this: they bought back Kevin Conroy (my favourite batman!) into the studio for a single line! (But then he said that he also read for a bigger batman part the same day, so excitement!)
While I was on the io9 page I ran into this: its Timm’s related so just had to share:
“Well, I’ll just put this anachronistically sophisticated airplane aside and pick up… a rock! And a stick!”
Seriously, is the plane going to land itself at some point?
I’d love to see Timm and Dini back with a new Batman cartoon. If you listen to the DVD commentary you’ll learn that Boyd Kirkland was another key team member. Unfortunately he passed away in 2011.
No, it’s going to circle around on autopilot until the Batman needs it again, at which point he’ll climb back in and fly away.
At least, that’s the way it usually worked in the comics of the period.
I’m not sure why DC hasn’t pegged Timm to oversee the DC movie universe to get that on track.
There’s a definite ghetto around “cartoons” at WB. They think Nolan and Goyer are the ones for Serious Movies. The box office proves this out unfortunately. Just stack Mask of the Phantasm against any other Batman movie. But I agree, they’ve got the best take on the character.
…here’s another one: Batman Beyond this time.
Man, I miss the DCAU! A simple one minute scene, and I’m hooked all over again!
I paused the video to identify the Batmen. Cool beans.
