Interested Zig Forums?
I'd be a bit more interested if it wasn't drawn in the usual DC direct to video house style.
Like imagine an animated movie that looked like 70s Neal Adams art.
Kelly Hu is an uninspired choice for Shiva, but holy shit, I'm actually happy they're actually using her as anything other than a League of Assassins flunky. Plus, an original story rather than another bad retelling of a comics story.
Only nitpick is that Bronze Tiger looks too much like Luke Cage.
Wait,did they make Richard Dragon Asian?
Is that fucking Luke Cage?
>Another Batman movie
Batman has the best of groups.
These martial artists that he trained with.
The Outsiders.
The Justice League
The Vertigo-y friends.
>Michael Jai White as Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger
Fucking fantastic casting. If I wasn't a fan of these types of films already I'd watch it for this casting alone.
>Luke cage
>Asian Danny rand
But why?
it's not his first time playing the character. I hope he goes full black dynamite
This would be so much more interesting if it was an animated version of Genndy's Luke Cage from a few years back.
Batman was treated like a marketing tool in the DCAMU, and that was like the worst Batman desu. He deserves his own movie to shine where they're not just advertising Damishit, Constantine, Lesbowoman, etc.
I don't understand why people say this shit without realizing how fucking difficult it'd be to replicate that kind of artstyle.
Batman was so fucking bad in the DCAMU. He never did anything really other than some dumb Deus Ex Machina shit whenever the plot needed and constantly talked like an emotional-less robot. Oh, and the fucking sad face. What was up with that? He constantly looked like he felt sorry for being alive.
>Batman yet again
>Bruce Timm yet again
>that art style yet again
There's no point in bothering to pay for this if WB isn't bothering to put any effort.
It's not difficult. Just expensive. More than WB is willing to allow.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YES!
AND they're finally reprinting all of the original series in February so shit's looking amazing.
Funny enough, Hu already played Shiva in Arkham Origins. It was alright, but she was working with pretty shitty material.
Ah, I was about to say "Judge user get in here"
Is that Bruce Lee
she was shiva in arkham origins which is probably why they went with her again
It looks generic as fuck
Very disappointed with this design
The house style is for the New 52-verse, not Timm style which has only had three movies besides this after the New 52-verse started
Stop Bitching and Try to get a job in WB, oh wait, we are on Zig Forums noone of us will get a job
I wouldn't want to work at WB, or Disney. It's naive to think you can just rise up the ranks and change the business from the inside. Youre probably still in high school or college and think you still matter. As soon as you work in those corporate monstrosities, your soul is sucked out. You might not notice it until much later, but you'll start to see that your efforts and input mean nothing compared to the almighty dollar.
You have to be 18 to post in here, nihilistic child
Looks interesting.
I am glad they are doing something different than adapting the New 52.
uh....
I'll givi it a try.
I always found Batman and Bronze Tiger friendship really cool and wish it was explored more. They've this Ryu and Ken thing going on.
Also he's besties with the Ninja Turtles.
I find it kind of odd since the Ninja Turtles were originally a parody of the Daredevil comics and now after the various cross-overs they're closer to Batman than Daredevil.
