Is this really something to lay at Abrams door? In the past 30 years we've had: - Batman: TAS (1992) - The New Batman Adventures (1997) - Batman Beyond (1999) - The Batman (2005) - Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2008) - Beware the Batman (2013) - Batman Unlimited (2015) Every five years or so DC pump out a new animated Batman show. There's also a preschool Batman show called "Batwheels" coming up on CN. Preschool and Cartoon Network go together like peanut butter and engine oil.

Bruce Timm's name raises more red flags for me than Abrams. Which is sad when you think about it. We need more threads that have Bruce Timm refer to himself in the first person.

I do recall the 'younger kids' block CN ran for a while around the late 90s and 2000, saw a lot of it while I was off on 'study leave', I had Blinky Bill and Tabaluga on as background noise during my revision.

I don't mind the look. I mean, it's not my favorite, but I am glad they're doing one that hasn't really been used for an animated series before. It reminds me of people being negative about the Brave and the Bold one returning to an Adam West/Silver Age-ish look post-JLU, and people being hesitant about that until they got used to it. Now, people are much warmer towards Bader-era Batman.
Not saying I think people are going to adore this or anything, but I do think a lot of the hesitation will pass.

Honestly I can't get past the art style for this, that character design just looks like ass.

WBD have a very strange business strategy. This is money they probably need/want, but this is still not a great look for HBO Max, obviously. Better than it not happening at all, though.

It’s definitely a terrible look for HBO Max, but damn good business move. WBD need to decide if they’re committed to running their own streaming service and willing to take the risk during the building years, or if they want to be a traditional production studio who makes shows and movies to sell off. Which, right now, is looking considerably more profitable for them

So, Batman the animated series (what I associate with Bruce Timm) was drawn on a black background but, J.J. Abrams is involved. Am I the only one wondering how you get lens flare on a black background?

The character designs in this show are... Not great. Clayface is okay for what they're going with (though honestly dunno why you'd handcuff yourself to the boring one-note concept of the character people barely even remember) but the rest is pretty ehhhhh.
In particular Harley looks completely generic. She looks more like some random minion than an actual main villain. Also not really sure the whole idea of, "Let's just play her backwards!" actually works for the character. ... Not helped by the fact they've tried to do that before like in Gods & Monsters and it's been pretty consistently crap.
