Now this is awesome stuff. Batman is just about the only DC character and mythology that I care about, and I am definitely looking forward to seeing more of Christian Bale in the batsuit this summer. This animated collection of stories looks nothing short of breathtaking. It's interesting to see the anime spin put on Batman and his various villains. Not to mention the voice actor from the original great Batman cartoon will be coming back. I look forward to this very much... although I'm not sure that I dig Bruce's hairstyle and "young boy" look very much.
