The Dark Knight Anime Tie in DVD
Those of you that attended the Whysoserious.com on the ground may remember a tiny man walking around with flyers to participate in a paid survey before the whole event went down. Well my friend and I participated on that survey and I think you guys should know what went on.
First We waited in the Hall way of the OMNI Hotel on the fourth floor until the supervisor from wb came by. You had to be 18 or older to participate I asked her if it was ok if my little brother could sit in, since I could not (and would not) leave him by himself. The said yes and he sat quietly as we discussed. Six of us attended and we sat in a big board room with about six clerks taking down about every word we said. The discussion was about our opinions on anime and they asks us all sorts of question, such as what we liked and didn't like, what we would buy, what we look for in anime. I not being a big fan of anime was surprised that I knew alot of anime and even was a fan of alot of anime (G-Force, Dragon Ball Z, Ronin, Cowboy B Bop, Akira) and the six of us produced more information then the apparently 20 people that were there in the earlier focus group. Then the focus leader said "What if we were to take a western character, and..." Then I cut her off, saying, "Like Batman, in the direct to DVD anime Tie in to the Dark Knight? Due to be released next year." Then she looked at me like I was psychic, because she turned to page on the big board and revealed the possible titles for the DVD; BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT CHRONICLES BATMAN ANIME: THE DARK KNIGHT CHTONICLES BATMAN ANIME and, I swear, I am not even kidding BAT-IME' (batman+anime) Which we told them, firmly, it would be redundant, stupid, and seen as a joke. We told them Bat-ime' would be the joke title that people would give it if it sucked. I hope the got the message. We all agreed that the best title would be simply; THE DARK KNIGHT CHRONICLES Then she asked us if they were to apply the animated concept to other characters to Superman or Green Lantern (I got so excited when they said Green Lantern) what they should call the series and here were their options DC UNIVERSE ANIME ANIME DC UNIVERSE DC UNIVERSE ANIMATED We shot down those and encouraged them to go with our suggestion; DC UNIVERSE EXPANDED She also said that this would combine and link all the movies together. We told them they better not mess this up, and that there are sacred things that you can not mess with Batman, and told them how when we found out that Batman was being done in Anime that we were kind of offended at first, and we told them what we wanted out of it and what we expected from it. She didnt give names but she said that the DVD is going to be a series of six seperate stories that tie into one story, and that it would lead to THE DARK KNIGHT, and each story would be written and drawn by famous "fan favorite" writers and animators. At four we were thanked let go and paid $50 in cash. Then she said that she thinks this room successfully killed any chance of the word "anime" being anywhere in the title. I hope we got the message across
