Following the recent films, the Batman franchise is currently just peaking from it’s high under the Christian Bale trilogy. We have known for some time known that a new feature length Batman animation was in the works, but details on the content have been a little thin on the ground so far.
Well, in the release of the 2nd trailer, we get to see a lot more of what to expect including the Joker and even Bane.
We have known that this feature-length animation was going to be set in Japan, but exactly how or why was a little mystery. In a report via Polygon, Batman and his various nemesis’ are in Japan due to: “Gorilla Grodd’s time displacement machine.” Yeah, I have no idea what or who that is either.
As part of the trailers press release, DC has said: “The villains take over the forms of the feudal lords that rule the divided land with the Joker taking the lead among the warring factions. As his traditional high-tech weaponry is exhausted almost immediately, Batman must rely on his intellect and his allies — including Catwoman and the extended Bat-family — to restore order to the land, and return to present-day Gotham City.”
Despite not being a massive fan, I must admit, that sounds pretty cool. Speaking of sounding cool, it’s great to hear the current English dub. Although, perhaps a little sad that Mark Hamill isn’t joker this time.
Ahh, from there we enter the realms of speculation. What we do know is that a release for 2018 is planned. In addition, it will likely be a straight to DVD affair. Don’t let that worry you though, things so far are looking pretty good here.
As soon as we know a release date, we’ll be sure to make you all aware. So far, however, despite a bit of a strange premise, this is looking really promising.
