New Batman Animated Series Coming Soon!!!!!

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

I dont know if someone already did this but WB is making a new Batman series. I dont really feel like writeing all the quotes so maybe someone else could do that. The site is www. Batman HYPE. com. BUT ANYWay there's good news and bad news about it.
Good News:
1.There starting on the series as we speak
2. Batmans going to be more detailed this time. Musles, abs, ect........
3. Its gonna be on either WB KIDS OR CARTOON NETWORK.

Bad News:
1. There stating all over from when Bruce first became Batman.
2. (Til we get to that stage of the series) No side Kicks, Robin, batgirl, nightwing, second robin, ect.....

So what do u guess think of this?????????

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

MY BAD!!!!!!! ITS www.BatmanHype.com

[Frostbite]

I thought he new show was going to be Batman: Wired, in which Bruce wears the suit we see him wearing in the first episode of Batman Beyond.

[BopRockMyWorld]

cool. can't wait to see it

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

Wel yea, your right about the title. It is gonna be called Batman: Wired but it did'nt say anything about the Batmanbeyond suit. But then again the site did say something about batmans suit being made of armor. hmmm???????? I'll just have to go back and read hard and close.

[Lady Ribena]

as long as we see harley quinn in it i dont care,

she better be in it!!!!!!! and i hope she kicks robotic suited batmans ass

[Neil]

I think the main idea behind this show is to justify the hundreds of Batman action figures in strange outfits that don't really exist in the comic/tv/film continuity.
I'm very sceptical about this show!

The show you're speaking of here is a different show they have in developement besides Batman: Wired. This is sort of a Batman: Year One type of thing, but either this or Wired could be the next Batman cartoon.

[StoyBoy720]

And more action figures of Batsy in wild neon colored suits and crazy Bat-gear will be hitting store shelves regardless, lol

[shaman]

If Bruce is wearing the new batman suit that terry is using in Batman Beyod doesnt that mean that he is really old in the new series.

[Frostbite]

No. If you saw the first episode of Batman Beyond, you would see that Bruce wore the Batman Beyond suit before Terry did.

[the_watcher]

But the suit in batman Beyond is a new suit that bruce started using after his 50's or so in the first episode. In the remaining Bats Beyond he was in his 70's and Terry was the Bats.
In both cases the suit is for extra endurance and gear, and was created for bruce when he thought that he was getting old so, if there is going to be a series with that suit it must be a near beyond with bruce already having some gray.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

Frostbite, there is only one Batman show being made. Yes it is called Batman: WIRED, and thats the only one their making. There's no other one in development. AND it was announced that they were starting from the beginng when Bruce first became batman. Not the batman we see on Justice Leage or older. So no, to answer some of your other questions, its not gonna be some time before batman beyond.

P.S Remember, were just guessing about his suit ya'll. WE dont know if its gonna be like the bbeyond suit, a detailed suit with more showing of batman's musles, or just an armor suit like on his toys.

[the_watcher]

Hello kids watcher here, I have been playing with my search engine and I got this

http://www.defenderofgotham.net/animationnews061003.html

I believe it's the original article and is everywhere to be seen just look for batman wired.

There seems to be nothing more to be added untill there are more info so keep watching, I will...

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

Frostbite, with that last post you've proven my point exept for now we know its gonna be a suit of armor.

1. Title- Batman: Wired ( only one series )
2. ARMOR SUIT
3. Starting from when Bruce first became Batman

[Frostbite]

Erm....:) :) :) I don't see how that proved anything, but whatever. :) :) :) :) :)

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

What did'nt it prove. Go back and read your own post, then read mine, then read the article u pulled up............................... done yet? But, like u said, whatever.:)

[Lady Ribena]

its sounds like batman is turning into iron man

[VOXMAN41]

People, people. Fighting or arguing amongst ourselves. As for the armor, what's the big deal. I imagine it's a way of luring more kids and adult fans to the realm of Batman. I'm a fan of what's come before and as far as I'm concerned as long as it's respectful a little tweaking is cool. I haven't read the article yet, but I'm going there now. Long Live The Birds!!!

[Lady Ribena]

i agree, i think bringing somthing fresh to it will be a good thing

[Neil]

Yeah, don't get me wrong I will atleast tune in for the first episode. I'm just concerned that whoever is producing this show is just doing it to help earn money through action figure sales and that the quality of the show will be sacrificed for a huge blitz of batman toys.

[VOXMAN41]

Yeah. Over the years I've noticed so many toys, costumes, etc., that were never part of the realm of the Bat. Films, toons or otherwise. If the creators of the animated Bat are the same people, then there's a good chance the series will do well.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

Well, even though I have no problem with the new series, we all atleast have alittle bit of the old Batman animated series to look foward to.

1. Batman the animated series still comes on EARLY sunday mornings at 1:00am
2. We can still see our favorite batman darker and stronger on the Justice Leage show:D:D:D
3. And I dont know if you all heard but THERES GONNA BE A NEW BATMAN ANIMATED MOVIE COMING THIS FALL!!!!!!
Its called Batman: Mystery of Batwomen.
Sounds interesting to me and its the original Batman suit:D:D:D
YAY!!!!!!!!!!

[DBZ_EXP]

I don't like that it starts over, more than that I can't say because the link isn't working.

[Lady Ribena]

i still havent seen most of the old batman cartoons!! yet,

thank god a channel sky one over here are showing the newer epsodes you no where robin is nightwing and theres a new mini robin and poison ivy is green, so iam looking forward on seeing those episodes as i havent seen them yet

[Batman'sNiece]

I guess that is just one thing about the wb that I am never going to understand. They drop one Batman(oriented) series to pick up another, and start back at the beginning. No wonder BoP didn't get a truck load of viewers!, people had no idea what was going on. " Helena Kyle?...Batmans daughter?...I thought Batman was 8 years old. What? He went through puberty early or something?"
This is going to drive me crazy.:mad:

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

Its about time you posted AC:D

OK, back on subject:)

[VOXMAN41]

No Wonder BOP Didn't Get A Truckload Of Viewers BOP was easy to follow. Hell the intro to the show explained everything purrfectly I thought. If u really pay attention to all things Batman, you'd know that in comics Huntress was Bruce's daughter from a different reality. And nowadays, just about everything is possible in the Batman mythos. Look at the movies for example. And the two animated movies. Sheesh! How old are some of these people who are constantly bitching anyway? lol :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[DOCMIDNITE]

Personally, I'm a litle tired of the Batman and Superman Cartoons. Give me something new like the Teen Titans which will air Saturday..:D Or better yet my personal favorite The Justice Society of America.Would prefer the older version, but would take the current comic book roster...Hey while we are at it how about Birds Of Prey cartoon. Or do what Marvel did with the The Old Marvel Hour. A different hero or group each week.
.All Hail the MMMS..Mighty Marvel Marching Society....wonder how many of you remember that? And remember the theme song.

[VOXMAN41]

I'm older than you, but I don't remember MMMS or the theme song. And I'll take Bat/Superman toons any time over the current crop of dare I say...gargage that's on TV. LOL Justice Society toon would be F**KIN' awesome! To bad it'll never happen. The Justice Guild was as close as it got. Would love to see a re-vamped version of the Fantastic Four or The Avengers would be great! And I apologize for the shameless plug for Marvel. LOL

[VOXMAN41]

Does anyone have any updated details on Batman: Wired? If so, please post them for all to see.

[DOCMIDNITE]

Ah the MMMS. The cartoon opened with the song "March along, March along with the Merry Marvel marching society" Had cartoon versions of all marvels heroes at that time just marching in a line across the screen. They were all the old stop action type cartoons.
Yes Justice Society would be F**kin Awsome. Gotta love the Golden Age heroes. Dare I say "DocMidnite" LOL. HourMan, WildCat.
As for Justice Guild. Why don't you just carve my heart out with a spoon. Or to quote Schrek. "sqeeze the jelly from my eyes"
whoops got a little passionate about the JSA there...

The last Avengers cartoon was horrible. No Cap, Iron Man or Thor. AntMan in that horrible costume. ugh. Toys were pretty cool though.

Now Now Now. They were such clean, decent heros. I'm shocked! Wait. I'm getting vaklempt again. Talk among yourselves. Here's a topic....Rhode Island was neither a road or island. LOL:rolleyes:

[Frostbite]

Here's the latest news:
Superhero Hype! first reported in June that Warner Bros. was creating a brand new Batman animated series, which was to feature a young batman and his early years as a superhero. The series was to be titled Batman Wired and feature the caped crusader in a high-tech suit of armor.

Solid word has now reached us that the head of the Cartoon Network cancelled the idea. Instead they are now working on creating a show called The Batman, which will have a slighly older Batman but still take place in his earlier years as the hero.

Stay tuned for more updates on this!I'm not understanding this at all... he's older than usual, but it's supposed to take place earlier in his career?

[VOXMAN41]

I don't understand that either. What's the freakin' deal? Talk to us Cartoon Network. And PLEASE! Don't make it like the current Teen Titans toon. I'll have to kill myself then.

[the_watcher]

Actually I know what they mean.
The Batman Wired thing forget that, just think Batman TAS and Batman Beyond the new show for what I was led to believe is after the Batman Gotham Knights (Tim drake and Batgirl series) and before the first episode of Batman Beyond called Rebirth where you first see the middle age bruce wayne when he retires from old age.
Because this first minutes of flashback were as you say "so cool" they decided on the new show.
I still don't know who had the wired idea but if they made it it should also be in this time gap ot it would not have any sense.
The new show if my reading of all this is correct will answer questions that were unanswered in Beyond like why Nightwing went to Bludhaven and never came back to bruce's life anymore, why Barbara got apart from him, how come the Bat suit was so modified, how did the Selina Kyle story get resolved, when did the last apearence of Ras cost the life of Talia and things like that that were only aproached in beyond as things of the past, but that should be explained by the TAS series.
Of course this is only one of the possible readings, but my experience in this things tells me that I probably am not very far from the truth.

[VOXMAN41]

many thanks my friend for the recent update. some of those unanswered questions would be great to have explanations for. any news on when who and where this new toon will be?

[StoyBoy720]

The way I read it was that Bruce in "The Batman" would be a little older than the young Bruce in "Wired." Still early in the Batman's career, but not right off the bat (no pun intended there) as it was first planned, and still younger than he was in TAS and GK. Of course I could be wrong with that, that was just how I read it.

[Frostbite]

Oh, I get it now! Yeah, that makes sense. The one in Wired was probably going to be like a teenage Bruce like Terry in Batman Beyond.

[VOXMAN41]

can someone give me the website with this article? Please and thank you

[Frostbite]

www.superherohype.com

[VOXMAN41]

thanks for the info frostbite. much appreciated.

[VOXMAN41]

just checked the site out. cool! lots of info. lots of stuff.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

Whatever age he is, I'm just hopeing that batgirl and robin are in the series also. And i hope they continue from there.]

Oh, and just for the record........ Teen Titans is'nt that bad. The episodes are getting way better.

[Frostbite]

If it's early in Batman's career, I don't think Batgirl will be there.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

It said slightly older but still earlier in his carrer. That could mean anything. Like I said, I'm still just hopeing.

[Frostbite]

Maybe Bat-Girl (a little-used Gotham vigilante that appeared in that Batman comics in the 1950s) will be in it.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

:book:Are we both talking about the same bat girl here? I'm talking about barbra gordon, who are u talking about?:feedback:

[VOXMAN41]

sorry but i'm still not convinced about the titans. seen enough of them to tell me no thanks

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

How many episodes exacly?

[Frostbite]

Betty Kane. Batgirl is Barbara Gordon, Bat-Girl is Betty Kane. A dash makes all the difference.

It's just too little kid for my liking. Maybe that was CN's intention to start with. Draw in a younger crowd to superheros. But it's still a big turn-off. Sorry. Don't mean to offend anyone who likes it, but I'd rather watch Dexter's Lab instead.:shrug:

No, that's Kathy Kane. Betty Kane is Bat-Girl.

[VOXMAN41]

After I posted, I checked this book I have called Batman from the 30's to the 70's from Pier one imports years ago. And I found this info you posted. But thanks anyway for letting me know. As I've said before, my entire comic collection was stolen 2 years ago and sadly, I've been out of touch with the comic realm for quite awhile. I finally went to a comic shop the other day for the first time in awhile.

I agree with Vox...TT is just too anime for my liking........

Comics stolen?............Now that really Sucks with a capital S
Good luck if they come to my house, theyed get a hernia trying to get all the boxes out......or some lead in the butt
:eek: :D

[VOXMAN41]

Cool! Where were you when my stuff was lifted? HUH? Yeah! That's what I thought. LOL Yeah, that did suck. Lost my drive for comic collecting. Didn't want to go thru that all over again. This weekend I may buy me a copy of The Dark Knight Returns2 as a hardbound volume. Keep your fingers crossed that I don't lose my nerve.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

:offtopic:, no wait! TT is a cartoon and robin is connected to the Batman story and the comics have to do with the show. So it has to do with this thread. Never mind:shrug:

Save your $$$. I really don't think it lived up to the hype....It had really good possibilities and some nice guest appearances though...

Yeah I was probably at Dunkin Donuts when your stuff was lifted..:rotfl:

[VOXMAN41]

I thought as much Doc but didn't wanna cross that line with u. But now that u brought it up........LOL

[DOCMIDNITE]

Whatever or whenever they do this Batman animated I hope they keep it true to the Batman history. I just saw all three episodes of Justice League called The Savage Time...
Now that is what I call classic........
Not only did it have the new Justice League, it was rich in DC history.
Making appearances:
SteveTrevor
Sgt. Rock and Easy Company
Vandle Savage
The Blackhawk Squadron
There was also a Professor Erskine and when Superman flys through one plane he comes out looking much like the Human Torch....both A definite tip of the hat to Marvel....

The only thing missing was some of the old Justice Society.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

NEWS!!!!!!!!!!

Someone else can find the exact quote but i'm just gonna summerize what i read. You can get the information at the Superhero Hype site in the Batman section.


It was announced eairler this summer that Cartoon network is devoping a new bats show with a younger Bruce wayne in his early 20's with a armor made suit called Batman:WIRED. Now Cartoon network has justcancled that idea. Sad right? No, because now CN is working on another Batman cartoon that will be named "THE BATMAN." It will be a older bats but not too far from the Batman Wired bats. He will still be in his 20's but towards the end of them. The series should be due sometime next Fall in 2004.

In other news: Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman will be relesed this october 2-something???? This promises to be interesting to me, exept for the bat woman costum. She looks like a Batman beyond sid kick to me, but everything else is cool. Here's the information:

http://comics2film.com

Also, we can also see Bats in the upcoming 2nd season of Justice Leage airing this October. And this season, from what i read, sounds promising. All DC fans cant miss it.

So there's going to be alot of Batman siteings in the next year!!!!!!! I'm exited about it.

Umm... I just said that like last week. Check page 3 on this thread.

[VOXMAN41]

any info on sidekicks or villans and the like?

[Frostbite]

Well, if it's in his early days, it's probably either going to be Robin or none at all.

[VOXMAN41]

what do you think about the rumor that this series will explain why dick went to bludhaven and why babs left him?

[Jesse321]

Thats highly unlikely ... think about it .. if the series is set way earlier in Bats career ... first off Dick may not even have started off as Robin .. Babs certainly wouldn't have started off as Batgirl yet, much less as Oracle and lastly Dick didn't leave for Bludhaven until way after he had become Nightwing.

And in the books Babs and Dick are together ... not as together as I would personally like, but they are still trying to work everything out.

[DOCMIDNITE]

As Artie Johnson used to say
"Veeerrrryyyyy Interesting".......

Hey give me the Earth 2 Batman and Batwoman......

[VOXMAN41]

good point jesse. with all the rumors flying around, who knows whats what.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

Yea, really. We dont know which age or time there gonna set up this bats cartoon.

And frost, i really just felt like saying it again because it went with the other news.

[GoldFlyingMouse]

Kevin Conroy played the voice of Batman flawlessly. I really hope they end up bringing him back.

[VOXMAN41]

yeah. animated batman won't be the same with kevin conroy. as long as batman has been animated(bruce timm style that is)kevin has been the man. Let's start a keep kevin campaign.LOL LOL

[VOXMAN41]

[i]Hey give me the Earth 2 Batman and Batwoman...... [/B] :clap: woo hoo! great suggestion! bring it bring it bring it! woo hoo!:clap:

[Jesse321]

Does Kevin do the voice of Bats in JL ?? I know he did the voice of Bruce in Batman Beyond.

If he does ... I couldn't see as to why he wouldn't do it for the new series ... as long as Batman is of a comparitable adult age.

[Frostbite]

I heard that from now on Kevin's not going to make his Bruce Wayne voice as friendly as it was in BTAS.

[GoldFlyingMouse]

Yes he does Justice League. It would be a big plus if they get him for this one. Sometimes the way he projects himself can make even a badly writen episode really cool.

[Jesse321]

If he's been consistant through all the incarnations of Batman ... I wouldn't see a problem with him doing the new one too.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

I just read at the Batman on Film site that Kevin Conary will NOT be playing the voice of Batman in this up coming series. They are now having audions for a new voice for the Dark Knight. They said there lookin for a dark, deep voice but a little younger sounding also.

[Jesse321]

Well if they are going to make him younger either before or just as he started his carrer as Batman that would stand to reason.

[Derek Quinzel]

I'm sorry, but an animated Batman is not good enough without having Kevin in 4 the ride!

[spyke]

Conroy has to do the voice of Bruce he is the best for the job

[kamran101010]

i saw how batman will look like in the new animated series. he looks cool! except that the ears are too short and the yellow oval on the chest is dumb. well, i'll just have to get use to it.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

I think it looks corney in the picture that I saw. But maybe it'll look better on screen. Plus its Batman, I have to give it a chance. Come on now.

[Jesse321]

Tate has gotten some test screenings of it and it looks great !! They took Bob Kane's old drawing style .. mixed in a little Frank Miller, threw in a bit of the old darker style of the Animated series and came up with this .. trust me .. your going to like it.

[Meta Master]

i think it is another Teen Titans.

[Frostbite]

http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0403/07/batman.jpg

I like it all except the chin. I hate that chin.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

Oh nevermind. He acualy looks better in that picture. Much better. The only thing that bothers me is the miss shaped belt. Its kinda crooked.
Other then that the only problem I have with it is the new voices. I'm very used to the other voices we've had for the last decade. Its gonna be hard to get used to the new Joker voice.

[Jesse321]

God, and you guys call me a NITPICKER !! :rolleyes:

[Red Mask]

Is this series done by the same animation studio that does Teen Titans? Look at those gorilla sized hands! What did they use for a model?

[Jesse321]

They are all owned by Warner Brothers, but no I don't think so, I'm pretty sure that WB out-sources some of thier animation to various subsidiary companies.

Guys, this is not, repeat NOT another TT disaster !!

Trust me, I've gotten to see some sneak peeks, it's WAY better !!

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

I would'nt say "disater."
but if its the same animation it would be a disater for batman.

[Jesse321]

LOL I wouldn't say "disater" either ... I would say D I S A S T E R though.

At least we agree that the style of animation used on TT would most definately not fit Batman.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

D E F I N A T E L Y not

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

O MY GOD. DID ANYONE ELSE SEE THE SNEAK PEAK ON WB THIS MORNING OF "The Batman"???!!!!!!

I was sooooooooooooooo wrong about this show. Well acually, I never said I did'nt like it. I just said I did'nt like the idea of the voice changes and the Jokers look. And I still stand on the Joker looks TERRIABLE*spelling* from what i saw on screen.
But ya'll, its nothin like Teen Titans. *Not saying thats a bad thing(shut up jesse;) )* But the animations MUCH better. If you've ever looked at Adult Swim late at night, there a show on there I dont know the name but it looks somthin like that. Batman looks almost exactly like he does in the JLA comics. Believe me people, looking at him on screen makes him look alot better then his promo pics.

[Pheonyx]

I saw that preview... it does look very good, and I did see some style similarities to Big O, and that style does fit Gotham City very well, since Paradigm City has a very gothic feel to it.

This does look to be very good so far and I liked that in the preview it mixed finished cels and line animations to see where it has progressed to.

As for voice work, I can get used to the Joker being a different voice actor... I have played enough Batman videogames that have had different voice acting than B:tAS (in fact, the guy doing Joker in the new series did The Joker in Batman: Dark Tomorrow... too bad the game stunk to high heaven).

-Ken

[Red Mask]

The Big O was created by a team that loves Batman and classic robot shows. But Paradigm City is definitely not Gotham City. The premise and design of the show is still unique. The staff were very thorough in achieving that. So Big O stands well on its own merits despite some similar traits.

Also you never hear jazz and blues music in a Batman cartoon anymore.

Still, it's good to hear that this new Batman series is better than Teen Titans. I've given up watching Justice League. If they can't keep my favorite DC hero up to standards, then they're slipping. I wouldn't want to watch Batman Beyond again.

(By the way, a new series of Tetsujin 28 a.k.a. Gigantor is being produced.)

:)

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

OH NO RM!!!! NOT JL!!!! Keep watching that, you gotta. Thats the best freggin show out there forreal

[Red Mask]

Sorry, Coz. But my schedule is tighter because I'm now working six days a week. The Asian Cartoon Network is taking too long to get the latest episodes and I'm not going to check the schedules. Besides, it's slowly been bothering how much the team doesn't live up to my expectations. The heroes sold out in "A Better World" and acted like jerks in "The Terror Beyond". It's no wonder they're not called the "Super Friends".

I didn't see the preview but I played Dark Tomorrow, and the Joker's voice in that is just dandy.

[VOXMAN41]

Can't wait for it. The only thing I've seen for it was the little tv guide thing and it looked pretty cool. Any word on why Mr. Hamill isn't voicing the Joker? just curious.

It is either one of two things:

1) They were unable to schedule Mr. Hamill for committed voiceover sessions

or

2) WB is trying to save some money by not hiring Mr. Hamill for the role, and just hiring him as an occasional VO spot on Justice League (because they still use Kevin Conroy for Batman on that show)

Hope this helps.

-Ken

[Frostbite]

My guess: They're starting anew, and do not want to have any connections to the old series.

[Jesse321]

FB is right, the show is starting from the begining or at least closer to it, so they are starting off with pretty much all new voices.

[VOXMAN41]

Does that mean that Kevin Conroy will not voice Batman?

[DrayvensCrow]

Originally posted by VOXMAN41

I thought Kevin Conroy hasn't been doing that for a while? A far as I remember, the last time I saw the credits for Justice League, he wasn't the voice talent listed for Bats.

Kevin Conroy is indeed the voice of the Justice League Batman.
