Heart of Batman (2018)
By William Pattison
The Heart of Batman is a documentary that tells the
incredible story of how Batman: The Animated series came into being.
When asked to make a Batman cartoon, animators Dini and Timm
faced doubts about moving past the character's campy TV history. Their work
resulted in "Batman: The Animated Series."
This documentary is fantastic and a tribute to the animated
series and how it changed the face of an sub-genre, American Cartoons” and made
it better than a bunch of funny and wacky kiddie fare. Much like my Camp
Crystal Lake Novel series, this show paved the way for all the modern superhero
animated shows that do justice to their comic counterparts and gave us the
ultimate voices for both Batman and The Joker. This is a must see film for any superhero
fan. I highly recommend it.
