A Batman-Lovecraft mash-up. What took them so long…?

I assume this an adaptation of the fun Mike Mignola comic, but name aside, it’s not easily recognizable from the trailer… I don’t know if I’m misremembering, or they added some characters.
To be fair, the comic is now 22 years old. Why it took them so long to do an animated version, though…

I miss Kevin Conroy’s voice. I’ll likely get over it when I watch, but my ears still expect him when Batman talks.

DC animations tend to be way better than DC live action films, IMO; so I’ll probably give this a gander.

Damned by faint praise.

Fool me twice…
They’re just so cheap, and they don’t get the story or the art style right, from what I’ve seen.
(Batman Ninja is awesome, though)
Can’t speak for all of them, obviously; but I liked the animated Batman Series and the few seasons I’ve seen of Harley Quinn.
I also like the one about the Flash traveling back in time.

Fwiw I was referring to the one-off animations of famous books, not the various series. Stuff like Dark Knight Returns, Year One, Death, Long Halloween etc, were underwhelming to me. The series are more their own thing, not being an adaptation of an old comic book.

Ah, I see.
I mainly read Marvel as a kid, not DC; so I am not very familiar.
Again, keeping one’s expectations to a minimum can greatly reduce one’s overall disappointment…

Pessimists can only ever be pleasantly surprised.

That’s the unsaid bit, which is actually quite positive; if you have limited expectations, then there’s always a lot of room for them to be exceeded.
Shakespeare was quite the astute dude…

I liked The Dark Knight Returns. But The Killing Joke wasn’t very good. I’m not sure I’ve seen any of the other Batman ones. I have seen some other DC animated movies, and I agree, they just are kinda cheap looking and devoid of any real style.
I was watching I think Superman/Batman Apocalypse, it had Darkseid, and I was super disappointed that the voice was just a deep voiced actor (who did fine), but they should have done some post production effect to make it otherworldly.
I agree, Batman Ninja was awesome!
