Scooper "Y2Joey" sent BOF the following about this Bat-Anime film coming out along with TDK:

"Just thought id send over a bit of information regarding the Anime Batman DVD that’s scheduled to be released before TDK hits theatres

This past October Josh Olsen came and visited The University of Michigan - Ann Arbor to speak to the film school’s screenwriting department. Students who were taking screenwriting that semester were allowed to attend the Q & A (I was one of them).

Olsen talked about his adaptation and translation of A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, what is was like being at the Academy Awards, his upcoming meeting with Peter Jackson regarding the HALO script, as well as some of his favorite comics.

The thing that got me excited the most was when he mentioned BATMAN BEGINS and Christopher Nolan. Olsen mentioned the Anime Batman stories that were being worked on and at the time said they would be ‘Bonus Features’ on TDK DVD (looks as if that has changed).

I asked Olsen if he would divulge any information regarding his story and he did. He said he was taking a very Nolen-esque approach and that his story was about 3 children who saw a fight between Batman and a villain/group of thugs. The story would be told from the fights end to its beginning from each child’s perspective starting with the child who saw the end of the fight, then the middle, and then the beginning.

Hope that made some sort of sense."
