The style also makes me think of the new Superfriends toy line and comic book, but Sprang seems to be the primary influence. And the Adam West show was campy, yes. But not comedy. As for Blue Beetle. Well, never cared much for the character. Goofy superheroes have never been my thing. But those old enough to remember the 1970s Batman show with the Batmite sidekick will remember a Dark Knight toon with a comedic edge. Full agreement on the Dick Sprang look.

Possible exception is Legion, but that's because I don't care so much about the Legion. These guys, I'm all about. And re: the "comedy" aspect, some of the best Batman stuff is when he stays grumpy while everything around him is hilarious.

Put it out sometime next year, after The Dark Knight has run its course in theaters and on DVD, with the same style of animation and (most importantly) keep Kevin Conroy on board. That way, the grown-ups have their Batman fix too. I have to politely disagree with those who say no one cares what adults think. If that were true, why does Adult Swim exist? Anime is big thing now... Combining that with proven, popular characters like Batman actually makes perfect sense if it's handled properly. With so many comic book movies being made, and marketed at adults (TDK is NOT going to be a kiddie flick), it just makes sense. I mentioned this in another post, but it bears repeating here. My nine year old daughter is going to take one look at this new B&B show and call it "stupid." She greatly prefers stuff like the old Timm-verse Batman. I dunno... Maybe B&B is trying to aim even younger than that?

They just make the direct-to-DVD features to sell to them while they are focusing on the youth market on Cartoon Network. The cool thing is that we've been getting a range of DC shows for all ages over the last 10 years or more and I like that. I for one can't help but dig the Dick Sprang-look Batman there. It's looks like the stilted animation from the opener to the old 60s Batman show come to life. Sure they care about the older audience.

My daughter's really getting into superheroes right now, so here's hoping that this show doesn't ignore a potential female viewership and Bats teams up with Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Hawkgirl, etc. etc. I was pretty disgusted that the Justice League that was formed on "The Batman" featured not one single female character. I guess the marketing folks won on that one, what with their asinine belief that girls only like Barbie and Bratz. I guess that's why my daughter wants to play superheroes outside all the time and adores "Tiny Titans" and "Super Friends". I look forward to watching this with her and eagerly await an announcement of the line up of guest stars. Look’s like fun.
