Those of you interested in what's happening with the Looney Tunes characters, Thundercats and the animated version of Green Lantern should read coverage of Sam Register's keynote speech to MIP Jr, a European TV market for children's programming.
One of the revelations in the article is that Warner Bros. is teaming up with Aardman Animation to make clay animated Batman shorts. There's also a cgi Batman series coming in 2013.
I dont know how to feel towards this....
ReplyDeleteI cant imagine Batman with those big Aardman teeth
I do agree that the prospect sounds frightening, considering I don't feel that Bruce Timm's style of design has translated well to the 3D side of things for WB's new Green Lantern tv show, but I am overly picky too.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how the Aardman shorts will turn out. Maybe they will be more along the lines of batman brave and the bold, and have humour, wit and fun behind them. Something I'm happy to see return to batman personally.
I'll adopt a wait and see policy.
If we're lucky, perhaps the Aardman project may actually be starring Wallace and Gromit as the Dynamic Duo in "The Wrong Tights".
ReplyDeleteI can't help but think that someone at WB watched Baman Piderman and had a brilliant idea.
