Batman: The Animated Series Rises

First, great shot-for-shot trailer remade from Batman the Animated Series footage.
Second, I'll totally be watching this marathon. There was some great story telling in that series, and, well, HarleyQuinn!

Batman: Year One

It looks like the new animated feature film "Batman: Year  One" will be revisiting a look, closer to the earlier Bruce Timm work which made "Batman: The Animated Series" so great. (I could never get into the look of the WBs "The Batman") It seems like a good cast, with Bryan Cranston, Benjamin McKenzie, Eliza Dushku, and Katee Sackoff. It's based on the Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli comic, which I will now go and re-read.

"The Dark Knight" - Anatomy of an Action Sequence

The Batmobile, aka the Tumbler.

In the Cut, Part I: Shots in the Dark (Knight) from Jim Emerson on Vimeo.

An excellent break-down of the visual language and continuity of the big chase sequence in "The Dark Knight." This is the kind of stuff you learn in film school. Jim Emerson of the Chicago Sun Times 1st installment in a series of 3. I can't wait for the next one.
