Wow. That was awful. More computer generated crap. This is so bad, Bob Harras could have done it on his home desktop with the tutorial wizard that comes with the animation program software.

Looks terrible. D-list villains and ugly CGI.

[William Hodge]

Cool. Looking forward to this.

No he really couldn't have.

It does not look that great by any stretch, but please don't spew crap like that.

I will Wait to see it to see if it adds anything to the Batman mythology but so far i am not exited about it. it just looks like a CGI "The Batman" series and i never liked that series.

I actually liked the textures and reflections. Still not liking Batman's weird head though. However I did like his voice.

Jeez people, it was a 20 second long clip and we only saw Batman's face for about 3. Doesn't seem nearly enough to make such definitive judgments.

See the textures and the reflections are where I'm having issues. There are so many better shaders out there than the ones they used. A Frosted Glass mental ray shader would have been better than the solid geometry they used for the Batmobile's windshield.

I agree, this comic sums my feelings up well:

The CGI would put me off, but then I wasn't too thrilled about the Iron Man or Green Lantern cartoons being CGI, they both turned out good so..I have to wait until I see it.

Though I wish they had just left Brave and the Bold on the air.

As to the above, did people really think Batman TAS and Brave and the Bold would suck due to promotional images? I can see it with "The Batman" if one of the promotional images was a dreadlocked Joker(still a great show).

From what I understand, there were indeed people who were skeptical of it because they didn't like the retro art style. I saw something fairly recently where someone claimed he remembered some fans griping about Gordon in particular and how he looked like "an ice cream cone" or something. And I actually got to read some of the old Batman and Robin Adventure comics via torrent, and in the letter section there's some seriously obnoxious nitpicking about the continuity aspects and such.

While the character designs are a bit not what I was expecting I still dig the clip. I thought it was actually kinda cool. I loved the whole 'Beware my wrath' kind of tonality and Bruce's voice is right on key. It seems as if this show is going to take the same shadowy tone that has give Star Wars The Clone Wars it's edge and I'm down for that. I also like the new Green Lantern: TAS despite the haters.

I'm pretty excited for this, the GL cartoon has been pretty entertaining and I hate Hal Jordon so I'm thinking this will be great.
