Batman 75th Anniversary

*Turo602* · 04-22-2014, 08:02 AM

As I'm sure many of you are aware, this year marks the 75th anniversary of The Dark Knight himself. Much like Superman last year, we have been treated to not only one, but two celebratory animated shorts from Bruce Timm and Darwyn Cooke respectively. If you haven't already seen them or want to watch them again, they're down below.

I gotta say, I really love the contrast between both of these animated features. The first one has a more classic approach, taking us back in time in both setting and story telling with the whole mad scientist, ugly monster, and damsel in distress. Meanwhile, the other takes us to the future in what I could only describe as major fan-service. Seriously, how awesome is that? Terry's line btw was fantastic, "sorry pal, but you're history" and of course, classic Animated Series Bruce at the end. XD Anyway, what are your thoughts on these animated shorts? Would you like to see more throughout the year? Or if you just want to reminisce about The Caped Crusader, go right ahead. It's certainly been a long journey and a great 75 years with 2014 looking to be one of the best. We've got two animated films coming and the release of Batman: Arkham Knight, should be a great year for the bat and the fans that allowed him to thrive this long.
