another animated batman movie?

[ZorBrak]

Ya think it might ever happen? or maybe another Batman Beyond movie or two to tie the series up :D

[The Mad Hatter]

We might be getting some more direct-to-video Batman episodees/movies... Paul Dini is apparently writing the scripts, and we're all crossing our fingers that WB green-lights them...

[DerekPowers]

it IS happening! im not sure of the specifics, but there will be 3 new direct to video batman movies, apparently on in btas animation, one in tnba, and on in jl, w/ team ups or something like that. but the news may have changed since then on the style of animation/stories, but they are in the works!!

[Calhoun07]

2002 should be a very good year for Batman fans indeed!

[Joker Jr]

Can you please tell me if there are any sites with news on these new movies?

[Calhoun07]

The news actually came from here first, but WB confirmed it in a chat about a month ago or so. There was also this report (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11332) in the Los Angeles Times.

You can also go here (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10509) to find out more. From there, I recommend you click on the links to show you the entire WB chat the news item is taking the information from. Any info you will find reported on the net about Batman movies on DVD will have come from taht chat. That's where it all began.

[ZorBrak]

any rumors of another Batman Betyond film in the works?

[Calhoun07]

Just a hint on the news page here where somebody (I forget who, it's a recent article, so I'll let you look at it yourself!) from WB animation says it's unlikely Unmasked is the last time we will see Terry as Batman. Now that sounds to me they are at least thinking of it!

[Bobby Boy 101]

Please let one of the new animated movies have Catwoman!!!!!

and NOT in either BTAS or TNBA costume, but the one for her own series, w/ the black cloves!!!!!

anyway, three new films sound great, especially if we get a BTAS flashback!!!

We won't NEED a flashback, because one of the movies will be BTAS.

I wish. All the animated stuff has been better than any of the live-action films. Seeing another animated Batfilm at the cinema would be awesome.

Thats said, I'd also love to see more Superman. Even another team-up film.

[DerekPowers]

yeah, even though i love batman WAY more than superman, i'd much rather see a post legacy superman dtv movie, dealing w/ issues they wanted to deal w/ in the season following legacy. only because that would be such a great story to tell, even though i love batman more. i really think a stas dtv movie would be awesome.

[Karkull]

BTAS--the Nocturna story that was never made.
TNBA--?
BB--Nightwing's missing years (with his daughter!).
STAS--Maybe the Superman Revenge Squad (led by Luthor)?

[DisneyBoy]

I am all for new animated films!!!!!!

However, I feel that BB has been aptly "tied up" so to speak and it's marketing value has waned. Any new BB movie would probably see Bruce Wayne die and Terry take over which is not what I want to see. I think Bruce Wayne's death is something we should all be allowed to imagine in our own way. Besides, no one wants to see him die!

I have got to see a DTV based on the spin-off Catwoman was going to get once upon a time, with her new costume, and of course Batman, and maybe an explanation as to when Maven disappeared, not that I liked her all that much anyways.

I would like to see a TNBA movie in which the Dick-Barbara-Bruce love triangle is explored as well as Two-Face. I really love the character, but I would like to see his TNBA design softened a bit. His face looks like a shattered mirror! And his hair...UGH! I would appreciate a mix between B:TAS and TNBA, if they would. Not to turn it into "Batman Forever" or anything, but I really think Riddler needs to be saved in some way. His last design wasn't met well with fans and his involvement in TNBA was minimal. I would like it is he showed up in one of the planned Batman team-up DTV's.

A great thing to see would be a Ra's Al Ghul movie, but I think (and pray!) we may end up with one of those in JL!

I think Superman: The Animated Series deserves some kind of tie-up. I think that although it should touch upon the aftermath of "Legacy", it should involve Brainiac, Lois and Clark's relationship, Supergirl, and Luthor's Downfall (later touched on in JL). Plus some more info on Mercy. What's the deal with her? Is she a "SLAAAAAAAAAAAVVVE 4" Luthor?

These, along with the still-in-hyatus "Harley and Ivy" comic mini-series would be great to see!

[Karkull]

I agree--the Riddler's dignity needs to be saved. What about a Batman/the Question team-up with the Riddler as the villain. Maybe even have him team-up with someone like Calendar Girl...

A Superman: TAS movie would be great! We could have Superman revealing his identity to Lois, Clark doing some investigative journalism into Luthor's corrupt dealings, Luthor's fall, and Superman's redemption in the public eye.

[Calhoun07]

I don't think a new Batman Beyond movie would have to deal with Bruce's death. All it has to do is deal with the plot threads that were left hanging after the cancellation of the series. Maybe the end could SUGGEST Bruce dies in some way, without actually showing anything, leaving an open ended "What If" kind of ending that fans would invariably hate but talk about for years to come!

And Mercy in Superman....Now that's a character that would be interesting to see introduced to the new Smallville series!

[Maxie Zeus]

Why would a Batman Beyond movie have to deal with any loose plot threads? We don't ask for new BTAS/TNBA DTV movies to tie up any plot threads from the BTAS universe. Why does BB need tying up?

Perhaps because a lot of BTAS and TNBA fans think of BB as another part of the continuum, and there were a lot of unanswered questions in BB as relates to BTAS and TNBA (most notably Nightwing). In TNBA, you not only find out what happened with Dick Grayson, but you get the story behind the story (Old Wounds) and he even has a storyline or two for himself. In BB, we get teased, but no answers. In Spellbound, when Terry finds Dick's old tux, we can tell that Bruce and Dick had yet again another fight, but we never find out what it was THIS time, except the little hint Barbara gives in Touch of Curare. We needed an animated film (albeit an awesome one) to find out what became of Tim Drake and the Joker. You've gotta admit, as relates to the other Bat series, BB leaves a lot unanswered -- Nightwing aside, we never get straight answer about Blight or Inque or even Mr. Freeze or Shriek.


batE

[Maxie Zeus]

I think you're absolutely right about why people look to BB to "tie up loose ends." It is because they only look to BB as a sub-chapter in BTAS, and as just continuing the BTAS stories. That's a big part of my point: Why treat BB as only an appendix to BTAS?

[Calhoun07]

A new Batman Beyond movie wouldn't have to exist solely as a means to be an appendix to the original Batman animated series, but at the very least they could do is put in some sub plots in the movie to cover some uncovered ground. But I do agree that the main plot of any new Batman Beyond movie should be strong enough to stand on it's own, but at the same time, I don't think it's asking for alot to have a sub plot that ties some stuff up.

[DisneyBoy]

I think Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, worked so well because it was entirely focused on the classic B:TAS characters. Sure, Terry played an important character, but he wasn't the focus of the movie as much as the flashback was, to me at least.

I think that if they made another Batman Beyond Direct to video film, they would either choose to involve the B:TAS past (Nightwing) or just make a strictly futuristic film. As far as popularity goes, ROTJ was a hit because fans of the original just had to see what happened to their favorite characters. BB was at it's best when the episodes focused on the Past, Talia, Freeze etc. It would be a serious gamble for Warner Bros. to greenlight a film totally about a series whose main characters were only medeocrely enjoyed (at best). To look at things from their point of view, if Batman Beyond was in so much demand, why weren't the ratings higher? The show has been virtually abandonned. However, if the film invovles characters from the vastly popular B:TAS and TNBA timelines, then the film appeals to several groups of fans at once and would sell better. Most people aren't familiar with Blight or Inque, but the Joker and Robin are household names (sort of:rolleyes: -well they're not toasters..you know what I mean:rolleyes:!)

I would be interested in seeing a strictly Batman Beyond film focused on Terry and Blight or Inque, but if it at all suggested Bruce's death...I honestly would detest it. If Bob Kane himself didn't kill Bruce Wayne, frankly, no one else has the right to. And since we all follow B:TAS history to a pretty large extent, Bruce's death would be a huge thing. But a film about Dana, Melanie, Terry, Inque or Blight or even some new character would be interesting to see. I wouldn't mind if Bruce made a brief Batcave appearance, but I just really want BB to leave the classic characters alone. I don't like how the show pretty much determined the fates of Tim, Joker, Talia, Al Ghul and especially Bruce...alone and miserable. He doesn't diserve a life without love, not matter how "dark" he might have become.

I would much rather prefer to see a TNBA film with Nightwing, Batgirl, Batman and Robin that explores the many unanswered plot threads from TNBA. After all, the flashback was a hit because it was about them!

[Maxie Zeus]

Excellent points made by DisneyBoy. Certainly most fans are used to thinking of BB as only an extension of BTAS, and look to it mostly as an excuse to find out "what happened" to various people from the original series. And it never fully lived up to its possbilities as a successful, stand-alone series. And I totally agree that a BB DTV that did not weave in BTAS plots would be less successful financially than one that did.

But I still think it rather unfair to insist that a DTV should include BTAS flashbacks or revelations. No one is insisting that a BTAS DTV have material that anticipates or explains things we see in BB, so why insist that a BB DTV have BTAS material? The various Star Trek movies and spin-offs are not used to tie up loose ends in each other; why the demand to have one series tie up another?

The only answer I can see is: BTAS is a better show than BB, and so we would prefer to see a BTAS-style DTV. Fair enough. I agree. But that means I would prefer to see a BTAS DTV to a BB DTV. But I still like BB, and would not feel cheated if it stuck solely to BB stories, characters and continuities.

[Cyclops]

I want a movie in TNBA style to explain what happened to Dick, maybe even have "the battle of '09" as Terry called it in Out of the Past so we see Ra's "die".

[ZorBrak]

I'd like to see a show or DTV focusing on an older bruce after the Tim Drake kidnapping, showing how his age got to him and stuff I just think it be really cool to se old man bruce kicking some ass in the Batman Beyond suit like in the first few minutes of rebirth part 1, or maybe do an TAS version of no man's land, itd be a good way to explain how gothem got so futuristic looking what do you guys think? could comic adaptations like NML work in the animated batman universe?

[DisneyBoy]

If such storylines could have been used in animated continuity, they would have been planned or produced. Like the Knightfall version of Bane, No Man's Land just wouldn't work. The mainstream comics depend on Soap Opera like storylines that span all their titles and last a good year or two, perhaps because they feel like all of the stand alone stories have already been done. B: TAS was great because you could just watch an episode, virtually any episode, and get it with out having to open up the big book of DC history. I am a fan of two parters and continuity, but if you think about everything that happened in NML, and all of the characters that were affected, you would have an entire season's worth of episodes. Imagine trying to explain the events of NML to a friend. Do you think they'd get it all?

For example, take the much discussed S: TAS finale episode entitled "Legacy". Though I missed the opportunity to see it, I know that it really shook up the series continuity. Superman had lost the trust of Metropolis, had been used by Darkseid (A major baddie!), the city had been demolished (I assume) and Lois kissed Superman! The reason why JL simply doesn't bother going into detail about how these events were resolved is because it would take waaay to long to do so. What I am trying to say is that the changes that are now considered to be small parts of DC history (Dick becoming Nightwing, Tim Drake becoming Robin) are really huge changes in the animated continuity. The writers have more than enough plot holes or unexplained events to deal with (if they ever do) between B:TAS and TNBA's "Lost Years", the hinted-at Bruce/Barbara/Dick love triangle, Lois and Clark, the Kyle Raynor GL and the John Stewart GL and the comics' continuity without having to add mainstream DC storylines into the mix. These shows are classic because they deal with the main characters without getting sidetracked by one-time, money-making, cross-over schemes like DC does, not to diss them or anything.

Oh, and Batsie, I think the "Near Apokolips of '09" is something the writers on JL may touch on in a future season. After all, Ra's Al Ghul is a more than worthy foe to the Justice League and the Dark Knight, and if the fate of the planet is invovled, they most certainly would be too!

[James Harvey]

There is definatly alot that the crew could touch on. Personally, aober all else, I would really like to see a good 90 - 120 minute movie dealing with the events following LEGACY. I know that wouldn't be enough time, but it could just give us a hint. I assume about 5 years have passed snce LEGACY and [JL's] SECRET ORIGINS. That's alot of time to fill in. I think a two hour movie could herlp fill in some gaps since SUPERMAN ADVENTURES won't.

[Calhoun07]

Hopefully, that will be a theme the touch upon in a Justice League direct to video movie. Direct to video movies seem to be the best way to cover lost ground between series so the fans can catch up but so also the casual viewer of the TV program won't get burdened down with all this continuity.

[James Harvey]

I agree with Maxie on one of his points. The whole BB DTV/BTAS DTV things. Belive it or not, there are fans of BB who are just BB fans and that's it. I've read plenty of posts where people where confused by the characters in the flashbacks. Go fig. Anyway - even if the BB DTV movie didn't feature BTAS/TNBA character, I wouldn't have felt cheated. I'm a fan of BB and any direct to video movie would have been fine by me. Having it feature BTAS/TNBA characters was just an extra treat.

[The Mad Hatter]

Same here. I don't have to have any perceived "loose ends" wrapped up, I'd just be happy to see Terry in action again.

[Calhoun07]

I wouldn't be too picky either way. I know what kind of story I'd like to see, but more than likely, Dini will churn out a great story that takes everybody by surprise.

[ZorBrak]

i wasnt clear enough when i said loose ends what I ment was unanswered questions, i dont mean they should tie up the entire series i just want some questions answered like what happened to so and so that sort of thing

[James Harvey]

Agreed. Some movies should try and tie up loose ends. But - like MASK OF THE PHANTASM, they can just tell a great story.

[Calhoun07]

I think if it's a direct to video release, it will appeal more to the fans of the established show and therefore should continue the episodes, and tie up some loose threads. But a movie like Mask of Phantasm, a movie that's a theatrical release, I think it's better if it's a stand alone movie so new people can be attracted to it without feeling lost in a continuity they are not familar with.

[James Harvey]

Actually, Phantasm was originally slated as a Direct-To-Video release, but WB gave them a bit mroe cash and made it theatrical. The irony is that they movie found it's audience when it hit video.

[Bobby Boy 101]

Also, it was only in the theatre from Christmas day to january 18 (i think) anyway

PLEASE, WB> PLEASE MAKE THESE MOVIES GOOD!!! MAKE THE ANIMATION STATE OF THE ART!!! PLEASE LET BRUCE TIMM AND PAUL DINI HAVE HUGE PARTS IN THEM!!!! PLEASE PUT BATGIRL AND CATWOMAN IN 1 OR TWO OR ALL OF THEM!!!!

ps--a really good chick fight with some of the girls would be good: here r some suggestions that eother havent been done or need to be REDONE!!!!!

CATWOMAN VS RED CLAW!!!!!
BATGIRL VS TALIA!!!!!
Malanie (10) vs Dana (BB)
Talia vs Catwoman (in a fight for Batman's love)
Catwoman vs Roxy rocket again

just some suggestions if u wanna get me, batman and his supposting cast's greatest fan to really worship u, u'll give me a chick fight and let CW or BG win

thanx

[James Harvey]

I'm sure "chick fights" will be a main factor in these new movies. I personnally wanna see a great story. PHANTASM had a great story, and that movie has been praised as the best BATMAN movie ever made. Just bring in the elements that make BATMAN work, and you'll ahve a hit...

[Bobby Boy 101]

AND Andrea could fight

points points points

well, she could fight ok, not the greatest fighter ever
Selina could still take her

[James Harvey]

Anyways, I'd like to see some Batman comic arcs translated to the animated screen. Knightfall would be nice, but likely undoable unless they massively rewrite and make the movie like 5 hours long. CONTAGION/LEGACY could work though. All they'd have to do is pull back on the disease's effects. I don't want this movei to be just a useless chick fight, but something entertaining and intense - not mindless junk.

[Calhoun07]

A serious Batman animated movie, even done in a traditionally-viewed-as-kid-friendly style of Bruce Timm, would be awesome, and undoubtedly be hailed as one of the finest animated movies of all time, and seeing a great story like Knightfall or something along those lines on the big screen would be awesome. And undoubtedly, WB would treat it as poorly as they did Iron Giant.

[James Harvey]

Having something straight forward would be a great delight. While SUB-ZERO was good, I found it could've been better, more serious and mroe action filled I think the crew could definatly blanace the action and demanding serious plot.

[Bobby Boy 101]

I didnt like the animation in SubZero.

It was good at some times and bad at others, but I guess the Batgirl factor made up for it.
The other thing I loved about SubZero was that they showed a supehero who can still handle things in OR out of costume. I dont like when they make the costume everything, and the actual person nothing, even tho the costume prolly provides some degree of confidence!

Like in that Etrigan ep, where Tekl beat up Bruce a bunch---not cool, man, she wasnt THAT good, maybe shed getba few hits in here or there, but were talkin about BATMAN man!

[Dark Knight]

My "Nevergoing to happen" idea for another Batman Beyond movie: The Justice League Unlimited vs. Darkseid (of course batman would be at least a reserve member for the sake of the movie) It would be awesome to see the futuristic JL vs. Apokolips. If Earth advanced as much as it did think of how cool it would be to see how powerful the far out alien races have become. You know people like Darkseid just dont die anyway so it stands to reason he'd still have his sights on Earth after all that time.

And as for a BTAS movie I must say the the Riddler has been seriously gipped. He deserves to be at the center of a big cool plot for once.

[NewMaxFranklin]

I'd like to see Timm and Co. do a faithfull adaptation of Year One, since once Hollywood is done with the live-action version all fans will recognise will be the name. :rolleyes: I'd like it to be animated in the TNBA style, which is my favorite. I'd love to see a 25-year old Bruce Wayne and a 40-ish James Gordon kicking arse and taking names in, Timm-styled, animated glory. While I say "faithfull," I'd want them to change it up enough so it would be fresh to the fans. I'd love to see them put their own spinn on it. Sure, MOTP gave us some "Year One"-like moments. But, I dunno, I thought the portrayal of young-Bruce was very spare and left out a lot of the actual origin of Batman. They just kinda shoe-horned in the Bruce becomming Batman stuff as a subplot to his relationship with Andrea. Which was the right way to do it, in that films case. But, I wish they'd give the "Bruce to Batman" plot it's own movie.

[James Harvey]

I'd like to see an extended version of "Trial". "Trial" was actually supposed to be the animated feature before opting for "Phantasm". I would have like to have seen a great 90 feature of Batman being thrown into Arkham. I know it sounds sadastic, but I also would have like to have seen Batman be tortured abit by the villians. His villians are some of the most messed up characters in creastions. To have Batman at their whim would be fascinating.

Sorta like the "treatment" that the Joker gave to poor ole Timmy in ROTJ?

[James Harvey]

Possibly, but not as harsh. Joker would play his mind games. Two-Faces would have two sided traps. Croc would just try and beat him up, etc...just a little something from everybody.

[Karkull]

What if they created an animated movie that was half The Trial and half Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth (Grant Morrison's graphic novel)?

I'd love to see Batman's enemies want to remove his mask, then have Joker stop them and say "Don't be so predictable. Don't you see? That is his face!"

:p

[James Harvey]

Dude!! How awesome would that be. I really think it could work. Granted they would have to lighten up Morrison's script a little bit, but they could make it work.

I would love to hear the Joker's dialogue come to life...

[peterparker05]

Here are my ideas for the 3 new Batman DTv's

BTAS style- Batman & Robin vs. the Riddler with Catwoman thrown into the mix somehow

TNBA style- The once shelved Joker/Bane story, but it has to involve Batman, Nightwing, Batgirl and Robin.

Jl style(the team up story)- Batman & the Green Arrow vs. Poison Ivy and (cue creepy music).......Ra's Al Ghul.

[Bobby Boy 101]

wow, i would love to see all of those, just dunno how u would get those villains in the same sory line, much less a team-up.


ahhh..please, more catwoman

[James Harvey]

I'd like to see a Green Arrow villian the the Batman/Green Arrow team, which I really hopes happen. The Joker/Bane story (originally to be done in classic BTAS style) would be a good story, although the "Batman wanting to give up cowl for girl" subplot should be dropped. And more Riddler would be awesome. As for working in Catwoman...well...maybe he needs the best theif around....

[SSNTails]

With the popularity of Justice League, perhaps some kind of JLU movie w/ BB?

[peterparker05]

I actually was thinking that the Riddler would be the only true villain while Catwoman's storyline would more focus on her being Batman's love interest and becoming something of an antihero. Also, I was thinking that Ra's could enlist Ivy as an agent to cleanse the Earth such as he did with the Joker in the Legends of the Dark Knight comic except Poison Ivy would be more willing to work with him as the world would be safe for her plants and she'd be meeting her own means in the process.

[mgibson72]

I guess I don't understand why there would be one DTV with "BTAS-style animation" and one with "TNBA-style animation". Wasn't the whole point of the redesign to clean up the existing design and make it better? Why would WB go back to the older style? Doesn't make sense to me...?
MG

[Bobby Boy 101]

think of the DTV taking place back then, before Nightwing was born, before Selina wore all black, before the Creeper existed, before Man-Bat dissappeared.

that way we can have an excuse go soemthing like "It happened before 1997", like one giant flashback

[ZorBrak]

wow. I thought this thread was dead...anywho, I'd like to see a DTV starring Ra's he is just such an interesting and complex character, I had an idea a while back for a youthful Ra's vs. an aging bruce although now that Batman Beyond has been declared as elseworlds I'm not to sure the animaters would feel comfortable depecting an aging Bruce again...unless of course its set in the Batman Beyond time line, I had another DTV idea, but it was actually a lot darker themed than it sounds, where Batman Beyond was all just a matrix type world and the JL had been put in it by lex corp no more than a week though it has seemed more like 40 years, it was a machine to kill them by tricking their body functions into shutting down because the machine made their bodies think they had aged. but of course they escape. I wish I could pitch that to Warner....

[dc_gothamite]

With the success of Justice League, some DTV's I'd like to see are "individual" or "pairing" movies. Although it would take a hell of a long time, and nice amount of money, I'd like to see each JL member get his/her own movie, taking on their respective villains... y'know just to give them additional feedback on the character other than what we see on the series.

Also, I'd luv to see another Batman Beyond flick... I wanna know that supposed Catwoman story Bruce Timm talked about in the interview w/ Toon Zone. Plus, I'd luv to see a nice, dark, gritty, DTV movie featuring the full Batman team... kinda like Over the Edge, but no dream sequence...

[Bobby Boy 101]

I wish Timm and Co would at least try to get that BB-Catwoman DTV thing finished, and then just release it as PG.

I mean, arent there any loopholes they found while trying to get ROTJ UN-edited out? By the way, what's it gonna be rated? PG I am sure, but still. . .
PLEASE TIMM AND CO., RELEASE THAT BB-CATWOMAN DTV!!!! PLEASE, i WANNA SEE MORE OF MY KITTY!!!!! PLEASE!!!!
god, WB needs to rot in the firey pits of.....(are u alllowed to say 'hell' ?)!!!!! They mess up everything!!!!

DO THEY REALIZE THAT THEY MADE US WAIT A YEAR AND A HALF FOR ROTJ UNCUT??!!! DO THEY??!!!

o well, I guess its god that they're giving us those dvd's in april, even if the extras on em are crap. . . :(

[Calhoun07]

I would most want to see the Catwoman Beyond DTV, the JLU DTV, and the Nightwing Beyond DTV. I know we are going to get some more Batman DTVs, so what I hope for most now is that WB recinds on their decision to kill off Batman Beyond.

[The Mad Hatter]

Hmmm... wonder if the Catwoman Beyond DVD and the Nightwing Beyond DVD are... ONE AND THE SAME?! Dum dum dum!

It seems possible to me... the "dark" thing that happened to Catwoman could have driven Nightwing to reclusion (or whatever), much like Joker's death lead Tim to retire.

[James Harvey]

It's interesting you say that, becuase of the rumored Catwoman/Nightwing spin off animated series that was proposed but neevr went through. It would be an interesting way to kill two birds with one stone. Maybe Selina and Dick had a fling...

[Poison Carley]

Lets leave Catwoman and Nightwing in limbo. ;) What we really need is a DTV Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn story, well hehe I don't even care if Harley is in it. :p

[Maxie Zeus]

Speaking of which: Anyone know what the current status of the Harley & Ivy book is?

[James Harvey]

I asked Timm about this awhile back and he said that DC has been extremely leanient on them with this book and that it's still awaiting final touches. He didn't go exactly into detail on the current status - but there still is a future for the book.

[Maxie Zeus]

Nice to hear. I'd long since put the release of this book on the list with world peace, an end to hunger, and the death of boy bands as something devoutly to be wished but unlikely to occur in my lifetime. So I'm not antsy for it but will be hugely pleased when it finally does come out.

[James Harvey]

It's nice to know that the book is still being thought of, and not pushed aside. The people working on the book are very, very busy, so I wasn't suprised when it was delayed. Honestly I did expect the book would be released by now, but the crew on the book just kept on getting more and more work. I've seen some preview work and it is very, very nice lookming. I can wait for this title.

[BeastBoyWonder]

what's this book about?

[James Harvey]

The plot, as far as I know, is that Harley & Ivy head to Hollywood to stop a Hollywood production of Batman and the baddies that surround him. Hijinks ensue.
