Raf Grassetti's Character Designs

So I guess that was Joker and not Batman.

Is he going to do Batman and Robin...maybe even do Batman Beyond? These all look really good.

Based on Raf's final plan, Batman will be placed below the Joker.

I consider this entire project a bit of a testimony to how powerful those original Timm designs really were. I get the idea that Timm looks down his nose a little bit at those OG character designs he developed. Doesn't dislike them but he prefers the later designs. I might be wrong but that's the vibe I get off him.

And yet, those amazingly powerful CGI creations ooze atmosphere and character. I so desperately want a BTAS CGI animated show or film or something based on those designs. Amazing work.

I think a standalone BTAS movie (which could lend itself to sequels later on) like Into The Spider-Verse, in the computer generated style of the Arkham trailers/cinematics, would be the way to go. It would be incredible. Really go all out with the expensive computer modelling and make it a special event. I binge watched Beware The Batman, which is an underrated show, and the animation style is an acquired taste. I didn't have a problem with it, but prefer the warmth of traditional animation in the context of an ongoing cartoon series.

Right now, I'd rather the ongoing BTAS series remain a cartoon.

Finally, here is the star of the show.
