AAAH it looks totally fuckwowawesomeamazing! To hell with the pessimism of others, so far I think each one looks stellar.

Anybody know of a good, free GIF maker? I saw a potential avatar for me :D

this looks like it has great potential. Gotham will look amazing. Hopefully they keep it dark. This got me wondering what other superheroes could work well in an anime style. Spawn would do very nicely. Any others?

I believe this style is by Satoshi Kon. This one is my favorite one btw.

I'm disappointed by Production IG's design. They should have used the group who worked on Ghost in the Shell SAC instead.

I prefer diversity if and when possible. Consistency is a trait that I prefer to be found in quality or substance, but not when speaking of limiting creative diversity and mindsets.

I don't think this has been posted before:

DC Comics and Warner Home Video have confirmed the five Japanese directors and the release date for the Batman: Gotham Knight anthology of animated shorts. The directors are Shoujirou Nishimi (Mind Game key animator, Tekkonkinkreet character designer and overall animation director), Futoshi Higashide (Giant Robo key animator, Saber Marionette J animation director), Hiroshi Morioka (.hack//SIGN unit director, Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE co-director), Yasuhiro Aoki (Animatrix's "Beyond" key animator, Tweeny Witches director) and Toshiyuki Kubooka (Gunbuster chief animation director, Giant Robo character designer). Previously, Warner had announced that Japan's Studio 4°C, Madhouse, and Production I.G would be creating the animation, but had not announced any specific directors until now.

As reported in December, the script for the film will be created by a team of American writers, including Josh Olson, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his A History of Violence script, comics writers Greg Rucka and Brian Azzarello, screenwriters David Goyer and Alan Burnett, and The Dark Knight producer Jordan Goldberg.

The project will be released throughout North America on standard DVD and high-definition Blu-ray Disc on July 8. On the same date, it will be made available via video-on-demand, pay-per-view, and digital downloads. It will also be supported by a major natonwide publicity campaign, to include extensive print advertising and coverage as well as promotional television spots. Gotham Knight will be released as a standard US$24.98 DVD and a two-disc special edition, with extras including a selection of episodes from the mid-1990s Batman: The Animated Series and a documentary on Bob Kane, the creator of Batman. The special edition will be priced at US$29.98, while the Blu-ray release, which will also include the special edition's extras, is set to retail at US$34.98.

Not really any big names there, but they do have some pretty good work behind them for the most part.

Kevin Conroy, a familiar name to fans of Batman: The Animated Series, among other related series, will be lending his voice to the upcoming direct-to-vide Batman: Gotham Knight animated feature.

It has been confirmed that Kevin Conroy will be voicing Batman in Batman: Gotham Knight. The specifics of his role, whether he'll be playing Batman for the entire animated feature or just for a segment, has yet to be revealed.

This is coming to Blu-Ray right? I think I read that somewhere in the HD Movie thread (also DVD). I'm confident that this will be the second best animated work ever created (first is obvious :D ).
