I'm excited about Bryan Cranston as Gordon. That should be awesome.

Yes! They rounded up some good people for this one. Are you going SDCC this year? Jealous of the premiere crowd.

Oooh, are they going to show it there?? Oooh.

Yes they are! Gorrammit. I fully expect you to provide a trademark Sunil Recap of the event. ;P

GASP! I hadn't heard about this yet! Thank you for posting/gushing! And I couldn't agree more with you on the awesomeness that is the luck we've had in having the same heart and soul behind the production of Batman for so long. I would be so happy if Marvel came across a team that was even remotely close to being in the same ballpark as far as talent and know-how goes. OH, and did I mention those pics look absolutely amazing?

I just checked out the intro to Batman/Superman Adventures and I'm ashamed to say I'd never seen it before. I was all about the Batman and Batman & Robin animated series, and have seen a few Superman episodes, but have never seen this show. I need to check into that sometime. I did, however, see the crossover episode where Superman stood in for Batman (wore the cape and cowl and everything) and beat the crap out of a very surprised Bane, and I still love it. : )

Ah! Don't worry, the Batman/Superman Adventures wasn't a different show; it was just Batman: The Animated Series and Superman: The Animated Series shown back to back, haha. The fact that you didn't know it by that name just means you were watching it long before me! ;]

I do remember that crossover ep! Those were always so much fun. It was epic times for my younger self. It's so nice to have both versions of Batman still going strong - in the animated and live-action realms. But the amount of continuity animated Bats has going for him gives him a bit of an edge, in my book. Just a bit! And the nostalgia, I guess.

Glad somebody else is looking forward to this as much as I am. :D

Oh, okay. That makes sense. Hey, wait a minute! Are you calling me old? I think you're calling me old! ; )

I agree. As much as I like the current run of Batman live-action films, I enjoy the animated ones more and the continuity within does have something to do with that.

Ugh, now I'm pining for some animated Batman, which I was thinking I didn't have any of, but just remembered I own the complete Beyond series on DVD. Still, I'm really in the mood for Batman of the non Beyond variety. Maybe Netflix will have something in their instant viewing library.
