Burton's Batman Cast in Animation

[waufreak89]

As a big fan of animated Batman projects I have often found myself entertaining the notion of Burton's ?89 and Returns cast providing voice over for animation.

It certainly falls under the category of unlikely, but for the sake of argument: What if?  What if Michael Keaton reprised The Dark Knight in animation?  What if Jack Nicholson breathed life into a cartoon Joker?

With Burton?s background in animation I could easily see him getting excited about an animated Batman project.  More likely it would be a direct to video affair, as TV series require a much larger time commitment.

Over the last few year Warner Brothers has been scoring big with it?s DC Animated direct to video projects.  In the quest to find fresh movie ideas, it might just be worthwhile to give Burton control of a Batman direct to video.

What do you think?

Absolutely - it would be fantastic to see.

However, I don't ever see it happening...sadly 

[The Dark Knight]

I love the idea. But like ral, I can't see it happening.

[The Joker]

Fun idea, and one I would wholeheartedly support. Though obviously it's quite a long shot.

At the very least it would be cool to see a comic book series done in the same continuity as Burton's Bat films using the same characters and events.

[Gotham Knight]

A dream come true, Sadly, it is not to be.

[GuedesGothamKnight]

Yeah, iw ould bee very interesting, but I REALLY doubt it will happen. Sadly...

Nicholson would never do this, mainly because of ego. I'm not bashing him, but he's the kind of actor who wants to be on screen and on screen a great deal.

I could see Keaton doing this very readily. My dream would be that Andrea Romano asks him to voice Bruce Wayne/Batman for either a "The Dark Knight Returns" animated feature or an adaptation of "The Killing Joke" or "Knightfall."

Any of these would be the pinnacle of epic.

How about they finally let Billy Dee Williams play Two-Face?

[DarkVengeance]

Not that this would EVER be considered, hey why not I would love to see it done.
