I just hope they'll be able to do justice to Okazaki's godlike designs and style.

I'll hold off judgement until i see some footage, but i'm not sure how i feel about this. We'll finally get another Batman anime, but it's 3DCG.

About them recording martial artists for the fight scenes:

It sounds to me like they're using the footage as a reference for the animators, not rotoscoping it. Avatar: TLA did it that way iirc.

”When we want to make it look real, we actually do it in real life," Mizusaki said, adding that performers acted out the fight in live-action, with the recorded choreography used by the animators as a reference point. ”We want it to be true to life," he said. Everything - from the way blades are gripped to the swift and brutal blows - had a real life counterpart.

I would've been happy with Batman: Gotham Knight 2. Just let both Studio 4c and Madhouse go at it again.

Hell yeah. Bee train as well.

Everybody who's seen the trailer said it's fucking amazing. WB/DC what you waiting on?

 

[Nightwing123]

I'm even more hyped now I can't wait to see this trailer. I want to see how Batman moves in this.

I like to think they were expecting someone to leak it for maximum hype and marketing is waiting on the Plan B.

Why would you say that?They absolutely are making sure no one taking pictures or videos of it.

So is this a movie? A series?

I’m sold. It’s right up my alley. From the article posted above:

“It was extremely difficult,” Chu said. “But we have a long history of working with Japanese animation, with anime. But Warner Bros. very much left the filmmakers alone in making this movie, so what you’re going to see is something that’s authentically anime. And when they came to us, we made it authentically Batman.”

“We’re not seeing Japan through the eyes of Batman,” Garcia added. “We’re seeing Batman through the eyes of the Japanese.” Garcia said the movie is a love letter to the Batman mythos, with a cache of easter eggs and surprises in store for fans.

That sounds fantastic as a fanboy of Batman and fan of anime.

It's a movie Kamikaze Douga has been working on for 3 years.
