BATMAN - GOTHAM KNIGHT Trailer hits!

2nd best summer movie I haven't seen by blindambition238	May 22nd, 2008 12:42:47 AM

Niiiiiiiiice by Brians Life	May 22nd, 2008 12:45:35 AM
That is all.
Also, I've said it before and will say it again by blindambition238	May 22nd, 2008 12:45:45 AM
I have many small orgasms whenever Kevin Conroy speaks. I love how when he says that opening line, it shifts from Bruce into the Batman growl halfway through when he says "no one else's". Still can't believe the DCAU is all but gone.
Not sure yet...reminds me of the Matrix Animation with different by Shub-Wankalot	May 22nd, 2008 12:46:11 AM
But I'll keep an eye out for it.
with different directors and stories by Shub-Wankalot	May 22nd, 2008 12:46:41 AM

And lastly, not to nitpick by blindambition238	May 22nd, 2008 12:46:53 AM
but this trailer has been on the web for several weeks already.
Can't wait! by retronaz	May 22nd, 2008 12:46:59 AM
Can't wait for this. What does everyone think of that sewer beast (for better term) that is glimpsed at in this trailer? Do you think it kind of goes against what Nolan was trying to create?
Fuck David Goyer. Go Indy 4! by Proman1984	May 22nd, 2008 12:48:21 AM

Nice by Stunt_Lime	May 22nd, 2008 12:52:24 AM
First? Anyways, I'm really excited for this. I plan on getting is as soon as I can...
Despite how they market this, I doubt its linked toTDK by blindambition238	May 22nd, 2008 12:54:12 AM
While they've been saying that it ties into TDK, the stories seem self-contained enough to not have any actual bearings on the film. Also Nolan hasn't even mentioned any kind of involvement in this thing or tried to link it to TDK itself. I think this is kind of a good thing since it would give the directors/writers more leeway to craft their own Batmans/men. Especially looking forward to Azarello's toon.
Yeah, not sure how THAT fits into Nolan's universe by flickchick85	May 22nd, 2008 12:55:03 AM
But I'm all for good Batman animated stories, since aside from the movies, the only exposure I've ever had to the character was the animated series from the 90's, which was pretty great. And is that the same voice? He sounds...different to me.
Conroy's voice by Dominic-Vobiscum	May 22nd, 2008 01:03:43 AM
Sounds lighter. Like they used Protools or something to make him sound younger.

I'm gonna get shit for this, but... by BadMrWonka	May 22nd, 2008 01:15:41 AM
when you have music that, well, BIG...along with animation, to me it just does not fit. it's like when a film student makes a dinky, crappy short film, but uses Wagner or some bits from the Godfather theme, it just doesn't match up. not trying to be a dick, it always just seems to be a bit much. but hey, if this is the project that changes my mind, I'll happily eat a crow sandwich.
by PedroM	May 22nd, 2008 01:22:45 AM
It looks awesome. Altough they´re marketing as a link with The Dark Knight, i think it goes against what Nolan´s creating with the movies. Despite that, it will kick ass!
please by industripop	May 22nd, 2008 01:32:17 AM
just show the movie already. i'm sick of the cartoon interlude. i'm sure the animators worked hard on this, but i really don't need to have every single fucking detail explained to me in cartoon form.
... by Neosamurai85	May 22nd, 2008 01:38:24 AM
Holy frosty sake soaked ballerinas with buzzsaw tutus drifting down like helicopter maple seeds from the top of a great steep pile of eviscerated wombat reincarnations of Schumacher and Goldsman's future selves (who must die sixty-nine thousand quite unpleasant times for their sins before they can go to heaven) brought back through a rift in space-time caused by the baddassness of that trailer BATMAN!!! And thus... I overhype. Peace.
Conroy's voice/ Pro tools??! by robertplant	May 22nd, 2008 01:38:42 AM
Sounding younger via protools? NO. It's called Acting. Look into it.
Nothing to do with Nolan's vision of Batman by Prof. Pop-Cult	May 22nd, 2008 01:40:44 AM
You can tell because the trailer for these animated shorts features the more fanastical/supernatural villains, and Nolan sticks to a "realistic" take on Batman in his two live-action movies.

Goyer sucks by criticalbliss	May 22nd, 2008 01:54:14 AM
Whenever someone cites down Blade as a screen "credit", they lose all credibility. Goyer is a perfect vacuum of suckitude. Souless characters, poor structure, shitty dialogue. Batman Begins was passable in SPITE of Goyer (and due to Nolan and Bale).
by CZ	May 22nd, 2008 02:05:22 AM
Celebrated directors, huh? The "Gunbuster" animation director I'll give them. Maybe the Studio 4C guys. But directors whose best credits are "Tsubasa Chronicles" and "Air"? Give me a break!

Doesn't sound like Conroy at all. by thebearovingian	May 22nd, 2008 02:11:40 AM
It really didn't. Looks cool as hell though. The Dark Knight in under 2 months!!!
I wish that DC/ WB were gutsier with their animation departments by blindambition238	May 22nd, 2008 02:11:59 AM
Considering that the WB brand is synonymous with animation as much as film, why don't they try releasing some stuff theatrically? I mean the last DC animated film to get screened at theaters was Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, which many Bat fans would argue as the greatest Batman film bar none. While it didn't make a lot of bank in cinemas, that could many be attributed to the fact that the theatrical release was a last minute idea and it had almost zilch marketing- I'm sure it made mone back from the dvd/video sales since. But yea, if they marketed this properly, I could see this and other well made (read: Timm and co.) DC films being cinema draws if they tried.
Damn..this really looks awesome. by Boromir	May 22nd, 2008 02:17:19 AM
And I hardly ever get excited over animation anymore.

Looks as good as animatrix but... by theycallmemrglass	May 22nd, 2008 05:05:11 AM
it will never touch on the brilliance of Batman TAS.
flickchick85 by jfp2007	May 22nd, 2008 05:05:51 AM
It's the same voice from the Animated Series. However, Conroy changed the way he did it when the show moved to the WB channel and changed art style. He further refined this version in the various Justice League cartoons on Cartoon Network. I really hate the altered version. The Fox BTAS and NABR version was great. There was a distinct difference between Wayne and Bats, and on the WB TNBA and JL/JLU/Batman Beyond he just didn't sound distinct nor was the acting as good. He phoned it in (but it was still good, just not as good).
Damn You Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	May 22nd, 2008 05:06:47 AM

I thought the best Animatrix segment was the haunted neighborhoo by Pops Freshemeyer	May 22nd, 2008 05:07:20 AM
Everything else was really good looking garbage, or really shitty looking garbage. Zero points.
thebearovingian by jfp2007	May 22nd, 2008 05:08:02 AM
It sounds exactly like him and has since 1998. Like I said in my last response...this isn't his superb 1992-1996 version with the excellent Bruce Wayne and Batman distinction.

What a bad trailer. by eggart	May 22nd, 2008 06:39:04 AM
Still would like to see this.
I read an interview with Conroy last week about.. by SID 8.0	May 22nd, 2008 07:06:11 AM
this. He said at first they were going to use a younger actor to do the young Bruce Wayne voice. but they let him take a shot at making his voice sound younger first. And it worked out fine. That is no studio trick with the voice. Just glad to hear him under the cowl again.
Love it, but... by MariusXe	May 22nd, 2008 07:10:17 AM
still I'm thinking one story for 75 minutes that really ties in between Begins and the Dark Knight would've been cooler. I#m not that much into short story Batman like the balck and white comics. It was too much hit and miss.
This trailer by kungfuhustler84	May 22nd, 2008 07:16:58 AM
is fucking old, Harry. Shit. Still, this should be pretty fun. It certainly looks cool as hell.
Looks interesting. by wcme	May 22nd, 2008 07:35:42 AM
I have to wonder why he looks like hes actually flying, like Hawkman much of the time. Granted, he does a mean drop from the top of the stairs with his cape flowing around him move, and upcoming: a drop onto a car thats crushed attack and all, but he may want to rethink how important it is to manipulate himself up to the highest 4x4 perch he can find in every rainstorm. :) And I must admit, that sure looks a lot like DEATHLOCK he's fighting toward the end. Now THAT would be cool!

Large Portions on the New Frontier 2-Disc DVD by Aquatarkusman	May 22nd, 2008 07:47:27 AM
Some of the cityscapes were absolutely unbelievable; I'm not sure if anime is the best medium for Batman or if the stories are any good, but it was definitely a feast for the eyes.
Far more interesting than DARK KNIGHT by Sinister Guido	May 22nd, 2008 08:04:01 AM
I just can't get it up for Nolan's new borefest. The first film had great character development, but everything else was borrowed from Burton's Batman. I've been a huge Batman fan since childhood but I haven't even watched Batman Begins again since it first came out. It's just like the last Superman film... totally unnecessary if you aren't really doing something different. This on the other hand looks very fun. It makes me excited to see Batman on the screen again.
Was that Conroy? by greyspecter	May 22nd, 2008 08:30:01 AM
Sounded like Jeremy Piven
Very Cool by Underoos Hero	May 22nd, 2008 08:34:40 AM
Batman Begins and The Dark Knight should take note of themselves, because they suck. Yes, I am still on that kick. Fuck off.
Looking forward to this more than the live action.... by FlickaPoo	May 22nd, 2008 08:49:52 AM
...I like Nolan's Batman, but when all is said and done...it's still just a dude in a rubber suit. Animated or illustrated Batman is the REAL Batman. Live action (no matter how cool) is a guy dressing up as Batman. The End.

TDK can wait, this looks more cooler than the dark knight trailer.This is what anime should be like and not the often annoying comedy relief teenage girls with big saucer eyes which is becoming more of an cliche since cherry blossoms.Hopefully the japanese will also work on a justice league OVA as well if not there's always suicide squad or GL.
Damn this looks cool. by CrichtonAstronut	May 22nd, 2008 10:04:05 AM

why couldn't "fantastical" villians... by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	May 22nd, 2008 10:05:11 AM
exist in Noland's Batman universe? to me it seems like a great way to deal with the Killer Crocs and the ManBats and whatnot. don't put them in a live action film, because that would be silly, but include these animated movies in the canon of the universe. whatever. doesn't matter. bottom line: the animation looks good and i'm stoked for it.
and i'd watch the Animatrix by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	May 22nd, 2008 10:07:29 AM
over and over before i'd watch the second two matrix movies again.

According to jfp2007, it sounds EXACTLY like Conroy... by thebearovingian	May 22nd, 2008 10:08:49 AM

American voice actors can't do anime by SilentP	May 22nd, 2008 10:16:29 AM
All dubs are terrible. I don't know why, but even otherwise good American VAs sound like shit when they dub anime. I used to think it was because the anime characters had more Japanese mannerisms to their appearance and it just wasn't matching up with the voices or something... but I mean, listening to Conroy in this trailer, when you can't even see the character's face as he's talking... he still sounds awful, there's no conviction or feeling in that line. It's probably the fault of whoever's directing them, really.

So, basically, there's no continuity with the films bookending t by Mosquito March	May 22nd, 2008 11:17:08 AM
None of the costumes look like the ones in the movies. That's actually a blessing, because the costumes in the movies suck; some of these would have been better choices. But, if this is supposed to bridge the two films, why they fuck would they make the visuals and tone so outrageous? I mean, where do the monsters really fit in with the Nolan films?
Shame it's not voiced by Bale by supertoyslast	May 22nd, 2008 11:41:11 AM

I thought Satoshi Kon(Perfect Blue, Paprika, ect) was doing an episode. His twisted psychology seemed like a perfect fit to the batman mythos to me, I am interested in seeing the TekkonKinkreet version though.
Set in Nolanverse... by jfp2007	May 22nd, 2008 11:55:48 AM
Yes, it's set in the same continuity; however it's anime and is going to have a different take on it. There are no monsters in this, Mosquito March. Those are Batman villains Scarecrow, Deadshot, Killer Croc (the monster...he's really a man that looks like that), and Man-Bat (the other monster...again a human who mutates back and forth between human and bat).
This isn't old news... by jfp2007	May 22nd, 2008 11:56:40 AM

SilentP by jfp2007	May 22nd, 2008 11:58:43 AM
The person that directed Conroy and all of the voice actors, in Gotham Knight, is the same person that has been doing it since 1992's Batman: The Animated Series. His line in the trailer does not sound like it has no conviction. It sounds exactly like he's sounded since he started doing the voice that way.
"Adults watching superhero cartoons... by JokersTeeth	May 22nd, 2008 12:11:41 PM
is about as bad as anyone over the age of 14 wearing a soccer shirt with a players name on the back" -kingralphuk I'm sorry, I just had to bring this up because it made me laugh for about five minutes straight. Your majesty, if I may ask you a question... If adults watching superhero cartoons is so detestable, what do you think about adults who comment on message boards of superhero cartoons to talk about how stupid fans of said cartoon are? Pointless hating of something that really shouldn't affect you. On another note, I don't think this movie is going to be a "bridge" in the sense that you need to see it to understand TDK at all. In fact, I don't think it will even be referenced, I think that they are just using the "bridge" concept so that we can put it in a chronology of events in this universe. I really don't think it will have any bearing at all on the film. I'm totally pumped for this though, there hasn't been a really good Animated Batman since TAS in the 90s (all right Beyond wasn't bad at times, but outside of that)...
jfp2007 - Dude, don't patronize. by Mosquito March	May 22nd, 2008 12:55:27 PM
I've been a Batman fan for 30 years, I know who the characters are, and Manbat and Croc are "monstrous" adversaries who have absolutely no place in the practical world that Nolan set up in BATMAN BEGINS. Why don't you try explaining the inclusion of Manbat in a series that refused to delve into Ra's Al Ghul's immortality? A series where Joker's face is a result of knife-wounds and paint? A series where Superman would be a big no-no?
Wow - that's got my interest peaked! by VAWitch	May 22nd, 2008 01:06:34 PM
Looks lovely, and I want to check it out. Immediately brings to mind the Matrix: Animated stuff - takes place in same universe, but different styles & stories.
Looks cool... by spectrebeeyatch	May 22nd, 2008 01:23:26 PM
I'm totally like renting it and checking it out at least. I have to bring this up though why when talking about anime do guys have to put in "Yeah and Dark Knight sucks" here is the thing: You don't know what it is going to be like. You haven't seen the movie so making a statement like that makes you a tool. You are pathetic you're trying to look cool or whatever by bashing things, I get it. But leave it somewhere else. I personally look forward to anything Batman movie or cartoon.
Mosquito March - The continuity of this is not universally set i by CeejayNightwing	May 22nd, 2008 01:28:36 PM
These works on the same character are interpretations of different directors. This is why the narrative is in continuity with events but the presentation, interpretations and visual representations of every character are meant to be unique to each story teller. In Nolan's vision he sans anything too supernatural in order to keep the feasibility as real as possible. His choice not to present the immortality aspect of Ra's Al Ghul does not mean if another director were to continue the series, the character would not have this element of his persona brought to light. This is an exercise in art and art is all about expression not conformity.

I don't like the aesthetic. It looks like an Anime Batman had sex with Aeon Flux. I hope it will be more like ANAMATRIX. That way it will try different animation takes instead of sticking to that same hybrid in the trailer. At least that's how I remember ANAMATRIX. It was otherwise underwhelming and superfluous

How can they say "this connects BEGINS to DARK KNIGHT" if they do shit Nolan refuses to do? And, don't give me that "artistic interpretation" shit. If it doesn't fit Nolan's interpretation, it cannot be viewed as connective tissue between Nolan's two films. And, you yourself admitted that Nolan has eschewed supernatural elements from his cinematic vision. That simple fact disqualifies characters like Manbat and Croc, who cannot be explained with the system of logic set forth by Nolan's films. If a character like Manbat is now considered to be part of the "Nolanverse", then the "Nolanverse" is jumping the goddamn shark. What we really have here is a plain old animated Batman anthology that ties into the marketing for DARK KNIGHT, but not the film itself. They just want to sell some fucking Manbat toys with their DARK KNIGHT toy line.

Yeah, that's old new, but THIS is cool! by mothandrust	May 23rd, 2008 01:50:55 AM
I saw that same preview weeks ago. Weeks! Anyway, I love it, and it's making me quiver even more tha TDK. Having said that, this new full frontal Joker Poster for TDK is eye candy coolness. http://tinyurl.com/4m4kj3
I miss the yellow bat crest by mothandrust	May 23rd, 2008 06:01:56 AM
I think the yellow oval would be out of place on Nolan's Batman, but I miss it. I love the balance of the new bat logo and recently bought a fold out knife on ebay based on it, which I drool over, but not in a sociopathic way... just a nerdy idiot way. I want a bat tattoo one day but I don't know if I could ever decided on a particular icon to live with. I just saw Iron Man and got a tad pissed off when his helmet got crushed. I should have known it was coming. Sheesh... movie comic book heroes rarely get to keep their mask on at the climax. Thanks to this site I stayed until after the credits - what a geekgasm! Batman better not rip his mask off on the big Joker Boss battle.

Sorry, I didn't know there was a universal consensus that Nolan was God's gift to Batman. Some people prefer a different interpretation of the character. These animations will give us quite a few.

This video is not exactly late... by nicegoogly	May 23rd, 2008 12:15:30 PM
It was just rolled out poorly. It was appearing along with some creator commentary and every scene in the trailer plays in this making of type of video that was on XBox Live and some other places.

I am not sure how everyone else feels about this, but the Animatrix was a prelude to some pretty disappointing movie experiences. It was not bad, just an indication that the filmmakers and production companies involved were a little distracted. Don't get me wrong, I love more Batman shit. I love Nolan's interpretation, but as a Batfan, we have been subject to numerous interpretations over the years and many of them have been great.

I want to SEETHIS NOW! by thegrayghost	May 23rd, 2008 07:59:11 PM
and TDK! I've always wanted to see the Batman animated in an anime-style way with a serious story. I'm glad, they got Kevin Conroy to do the voice ... he was always the best Batman animated. Man, this is a great summer for comicbook movies! Can't wait!
can't wait!!!!!only downside... by chainsaw1974	May 23rd, 2008 10:31:18 PM
