New Bruce Timm DC Cartoon Is Alright, I Suppose
I dunno. Everybody’s making a big deal out of this Bruce Timm-designed new cartoon series, but I don’t think it looks all that interesting. It’s called Justice League: Gods and Monsters, and it’s a dark re-imagining that’s going to focus on evil versions of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. Along with the DVD movie, they’ve also produced a few mini-webisodes, and here’s the first one now. It’s the new Batman vs. a very scantily dressed Harley Quinn. Somehow, Timm came up with a way to make Harley’s outfit even skimpier than it has been in recent years.
Maybe the movie will be better, but then I haven’t been impressed by one of DC’s animated movies in a long time. Here’s an interview with Timm if you’re interested, but for me, I think this whole thing is going to be a pass. Adding heads in jars and skimpy underwear on Harley Quinn does not a good show make.

Ho hum. Another ‘dark reimagining’ from DC Comics, because we haven’t seen them do that all over the place. I love Timm’s art style, but this is just dreadful.
I really don’t like his designs for the main characters. There’s no life to them, no character or personality.
He clearly wasn’t in love with the concept. That Vampire Batman design is just lazy as hell.
Especially considering it’s supposed to be a vampire version of Kirk Langstrom! There are so many design possibilities for that idea!
I guess Timm didn’t phone it in, he faxed it in.
