I'm in for pretty much anything Batman, but not having Kevin Conroy makes me a bit uneasy.
And since it's year 3, it looks like we might be seeing a 10 year old Robin.

Batman himself, who will be in his mid-twenties, will live beneath elevated train tracks and within a 150-year-old drainage system, battling adversaries with experimental Bat-gadgets and amped-up Batmobiles. His arsenal of equipment will all be operated and linked by an advanced remote-controlled invention he dubs the "Bat-Wave."

that was never part of his history.
why would they need to do that?

Because they can. It'll be kinda dull and boring if they feed us the same history throughout Batman's entire existance. Reworking history is working for Smallville, so as long as they don't do anything too drastic, they should be okay.

Well it's not Paul Dini. And Bruce Timm is busy doing his thing with Justice League and Teen Titans, so it looks like it's fresh faces.

Jeff Matsuda is doing the design work (Bruce Timm's old job), so the show is in good hands there; Matsuda had sone a lot of good comic work as well as Jackie Chan Adventures.

Me too.
No Bruce Timm. No Kevin Conroy.
and they've changed the voices for the rest of the characters too, as well as how the villans become who they are from how it was done in Batman: TAS so I guess it's not following the continuity that has Bruce Timm set up.
I'm not as happy about this as I once was when I first started hearing thing's about this show a few weeks ago.

I may be speaking too soon, but I feel that the various Kevin Conroy series are pretty much the definitive animated Batman. I would rather they continue to make the direct to video feature-length movies than re-do the entire thing again...
Also, does it seem to anyone else that after Conroy's version of Batman set the tone with its stylized artwork, that the new one is trying some one up-manship by making the artwork even more drastically minimal?
I suppose I should reserve judgement...but it's hard...
Movies I would purchase instantly if they were available in their correct aspect ratio:
Death Trap, Innocent Blood, The Shadow, and Remo Williams
