Product Description
Product Description
A behind-the-scenes story of the hit show that revolutionized television animation and brought a new look to the legendary Caped Crusader. Since its premiere in September 1992, "Batman: The Animated Series" has been acclaimed by enthusiastic viewers and longtime fans of the Batman character as the defining image of the Dark Knight onscreen. Now readers are offered an inside look into the creation of the series. Granted unprecedented access to the archives of the Warner Bros Animation Studio, Chip Kidd has combined photographs by photographer Geoff Spear and fashioned a layout of pre-production and finished artwork that echoes the boldness of producer-designer Bruce Timm's powerful TV show. Paul Dini's text offers commentary on the series' history, development, and continuing production. It includes glimpses into the making of the Batman animated features "Mask of the Phantasm" and "SubZero", and a peek into future projects.

Format:Paperback
This book is definite coffee table material for those who are not ashamed to finding a cartoon one of the best Televion programmes ever. This excellently illustrated book gives an insight as to how the whole idea of the animated series came about, showing the development of the characters, and the series itself. Also contains an episode guide, and a cast list, allowing you to find out whose that voice you thought you recognised was.

If you're a fan of the series and more particularly an admirer of the artwork and writing itself, this is THE reference source if you want to see how they put it all together. Dini and friends have really made an exceptional effort here that shows how proud they are of their work and how much they respect their fans. A wonderful, high quality book that you must own.
