JOKER: LAUGH RIOT is listed as have been given the “Greenlight”. Jim Krieg serves as executive producer with Yashuhuro Aoki directing and coming from Warner Bros. Animation, DC Studios, and SOLA Entertainment. The network that it will air is TBA.
Batman-adjacent, but “Batman” nonetheless, right? So, I post it here on BOF.
I’ll keep my thoughts about this to myself…for now… but let me know what y’all think in the comments below. – Bill “Jett” Ramey
PS: Never mind, time for my thoughts…
I’m not an anime fan. I’m also not a fan of “Batman’s Dead” stories. So, I don’t know if this series is a good idea. But maybe it’s released on a network and targeted to an audience where it’ll be appreciated and accepted. We’ll see. – “Jett”
