Suddenly, everything old is new again.
Cases in point: Tennage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, G.I. Joe, and many others. They should be getting around to a new GB series sooner or later.
I'm all for a new GB film, even if it's only animated. Better than nothing, right? But if it is going to be animated, which style would it be done in? While Anime is cool and all, it doesn't really hold well for an american concept.
One person mentioned that Batman: the Animated Series had several films that went direct to video. Why not have the new film in the style of Bruce Timm? B:TAS was dark, gothic, and dramatic, while retaining an element of comedy (i.e., Batman to Joker). It might be perfect for the GBs.
Or perhaps we could go with the quirkieness of Chris Bailey (Clerks: The Animated Series). If you look at his work on his site, Clerks: TAS, or the horrible Kim Possible, his style could work.
