Newsarama’s Steve Fritz spoke with Brooke Burgess recently, and the animator let slip some details about an upcoming project:
“What’s really cool is that my old partners from Saints, Ian and Andrew, nabbed the rights to do the animated version of Batman: Black & White from Warner Brothers,” says Burgess. “I’ll probably get in trouble, but they are taking the original Black and White stories, and are giving them the Saints treatment. I think this will be going on DC Online or some other Warner site, probably also Apple.
“I’m just consulted a bit on this project. I’m happy to let Ian fly on this one. We’re also going to have voice actors like Michael Dobson on it, as well as a couple of other very talented friends. It’s going to look really neat and super, super stylized.”
I’m going to guess he’s talking about another Motion Comic, like Watchmen.

DON’T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY: I’ll come over and wiggle your old comics around in front of your face while you read them for a dollar each.

As long as it’s not like that craptacular Invincible one, I’m OK with it.

Batman: Black and White are great stories, I got all 3 Hardcovers, I just wish the trim size of the third one was the same as the first 2 ones…
Looking forward to this, and maybe to some more Black and White stories in the future ?

Why bother with these “motion comics”? How about doing Batman Black & White as another DC Animated Universe feature DVD? Makes a lot more sense to me.
I thought Gotham Knight was mostly good, though it varied from story to story. I’d be curious to know what other people thought of it.
