Satoshi Kon Animating BATMAN!
Posted by Todd Brown at 5:47pm.

Well, golly, I wouldn’t have called it but I’m mighty glad it’s happening. Prior to the release of Christopher Nolan’s next Batman feature there will be a DVD of six animated shorts titled Batman: Gotham Knight. And here’s where things get fun. While the stories have all been penned by US based screen or comic writers - good ones, too - the animation is all being handled in Japan by a troika of dead solid animation houses: Madhouse, Studio 4C and Production I.G. Wizard Magazine has spilled this much, and it’s fun as far as that article goes, but there’s more. Wizard names only Bruce Timm as a director on the project but apparently that’s not the case: according to Catsuka acclaimed animator Satshi Kon of Paprika, Paranoia Agent, Perfect Blue and Millennium Actress is going to be at the helm for one of the other segments. Very, very cool.

Wow now this is big news! Madhouse? Studio 4c? Production I.G.? Satoshi Kon? Doing fucking BATMAN?! Actually I shouldn’t be too surprised, the marketing of The Dark Knight has been doing some downright stellar promo work for the last few months and this is just the icing on the cake. Summer can’t come quick enough!

Yoshiaki Kawajiri would be nice too.

Kawajiri is a given. It’s not like he has anything better to do at the moment.
