Will all animated Batman movies from now on be in "The Batman" style?

[Dreamweaver]

I'm new here so i dont know if this has been discussed before but i was a huge fan of the Timm/Dini Batman animated series but now that there is a new The Batman series and recently a Batman animated film done in taht same style, i was wondering if all Batman animated movies from now on will be done by the same people of the new series?

Not necessarily. WB currently focuses its efforts on DTVs that adapt specific storylines from DC Comics, faithfully reproducing styles of the respective artists. If we ever get a Dark Knight Returns or Long Halloween DTV, you can bet it wouldn't be animated in "The Batman" vein. If you want another Timm-style project, however, I think Bruce Timm's gone on record saying the old designs need a rest.

Who knows...we may never get another animated Batman movie.

Given how the upcoming Superman DTV won't be based upon his design/voice from The Legion Of Superheroes, I doubt it.

With The Dark Knight in theatres in 2008, I strongly believe we'll see a DTV or two on or around that era.

I really hope its really dark like Mask of the Phantasm, but in TNBA style, or Justice League style would be cool too(i love the design of Batman there, it looks a lot like the original Bob Kane look)

Seeing how the three new DTVs are going to have a new animated style all their own, not tim,m verse or other DC toons we have seen and Batman Movie that does not take place in "The batman universe" would probably follow that style.

No, Unless it's in that universe and that universe only.

has there been any pictures of what the new DTV's are going to look like? i'd really like to see what the new teen titans DTV will look like sinec it will be a lot different from that anime like style of the tv show. If the Superman DTV and possibly a batman DTV comes out and they go with a new style i hope they go with something like those Ultimate Avenger DTV's, it is much more realistic and has lots of detail.

The DCAU, as we know it, is most likely dead.

All we have is a possible second The Batman movie down the road, and those DTV's based on the comic versions of the characters.

I wouldn't hold my breath for anything done in Timm's style or continuity.

But Timm is involved in those movies. To Bruce Timm fans isn't that even more important?

Really hope we get a visit to the DCAU at some point but I think this is a prayer that will go unanswered.....:sad:

As Batman himself said - "Where there's love, there's hope." Until then, all that's left of the DCAU is the Justice League Unlimited comics. I recommend #28 (last month's Christmas issues) for Bat-fans.
