Batman animated series

As much as I admire the fans of Stef/Cass for their determination, they will NEVER appear in a Bat-movie/show/cartoon. EVER. Get over it. You might as well complain about "paper quality" in TPBs.

1. They've both already appeared in the DCAU during cameos
2. If Young Justice gets a Season 3, the showrunner confirmed there would be another time skip, and I assure you that in 5 years, Babs won't be Batgirl (my confidence is also supported by the fact that The Batman's time skip episode features the sole appearance of Oracle in animation history).

Nice designs but I'd probably rather see a series that's more along the lines of LODK, bouncing around through various time periods from arc to arc, than this.

You never know who you might see.

Is a new Batman cartoon coming out?

Is a new Batman cartoon coming out?

Nope, just character designs for an idea.

Is a new Batman cartoon coming out?

Yeah Beware the Batman, 2013 I think.

[Free-Man]

I agree. Cartoons that directly relate to current comic series and characters could boost sales while a seperate continuity could confuse new fans. It would be best to create new cartonns in a way that helps them sell their products.

You're never going to be able to do a cartoon that corresponds to the current comics, unfortunately. TV shows take years to get off the ground while your average comic book has a turn-around time of a couple of months. Even if you tried to launch them at the same time you're going to end up with huge divergences very quickly.

The other big thing is that selling comics isn't a huge priority for Warners Bros. When they green light a show, it's not for the sake of trying to get a few more people to pick up comics. There are far more profitable things like ad revenue or merchandise sales they look at. Synergy obviously isn't a big concern given that no DC cartoon to date (yes including 90's BTAS) has proved to be an up-to-date reflection of the comics.

If nothing else, they should make the DC Nation shorts correlate to what's going on in the comics. Short, sweet, action sequences would be so cool to see.

Also, I'm the artist who made those designs from the first page, but am I the only one who's excited for Beware the Batman?! I think it's a great idea!! They've built Gotham City ground up as an asset. Friggin genius if you ask me! :D

South Park turns out episodes in 6 days....

but yeah, I agree about WB not caring about comic sales

Same here. I'm looking forward to it.

I'd rather not have a Batman series with the production quality of South park, haha.

Since my "dream animated series" is merely just a dream, I think a more practical thing to hope for would be an animated feature from DCE based on Grant Morrison's Batman & Robin comics. I would LOVE to see that after they finish up with The Dark Knight Returns parts 1 and 2.

Here's a taste:

[R0NIN]

Equal with Nightwing my butt.

My thoughts exactly.

[MP7]

I love how Alfred always stays the same throughout the seasons.

Yeah, but South Park is far from a typical animated production. It might take them six days to finish an episode but they're working their ass off five times as hard as other studios. And the only reason they don't burn out completely is because they do three months on, three months off.
