Awesome portrayal of Batman. Looking forward to seeing the complete product.

This looks great! I'm sure glad Kevin Conroy returned for his role. Razz

Normally, I'd see the clip and wait 'til AX to see the screening first, but I decided to pre-order the dvd, because I trust them to do a decent job with the final product. [Plus I'm really getting impatient on the Dark Knight theatrical release...The wait might actually contribute to my catching Hellboy 2.]

That was pretty good, I was kinda worried that it wouldn't have the same atmosphere as the original Batman ctoons(the 1993 ones).

Also, Conroy = truly the best and ONLY voice for Batman EVER Surprised .

Region locked AGAIN? What possible benefit could there be from preventing non-US viewing of a trailer?

We shall see when SD Batman comes out. Laughing

Tidbits:

-- (Around the 33rd minute) Andrea couldn't name the art style, but yes, at one point, Batman will be SUPER-DEFORMED! Shocked
And the resulting quandary of her having Kevin Conroy (who's about her age ~50) do the SD Batman voice - if you think Batman singing is OOC...! Laughing

-- Why Kevin Conroy is not the voice of Batman in every incarnation, and why the many incarnations of Batman.

-- Many tidbits about who are in the voice cast, including that Ugly Betty actress.

-- Batman is pretty much the only recurring character in all the shorts, so each short has its own surrounding cast.

-- The unusual challenge of doing post-lay (dubbing after animation) instead of their usual pre-lay (voicing before animation).

Quoted for absolute truth! Wink

I'm really looking forward to this DVD. Batman + anime = pure win.

Ugh, this was pretty dreadful. Probably the stupidest shoot-out scene I've watched in a long time. The acting was horrible as well (except for Conroy of course). And of course the horribly generic animation... but I heard this is Bee Train's segment and no one expects much of Bee Train.

Just got this in at work, it goes out for rent I think the 8th. I'm definitely watching tomorrow. I've been excited to see this ever since I heard it first announced.
