His two films were successful, both critically and commercially, but the tone appeared to Warner executives and DC studio executives too dark and violent, and the director’s gothic art direction was ultimately not suited to They. But if it’s “no” for a new live action feature film, then why not develop this universe into an animated series ? Also convinced by the success of the series The little cartoonsWarner Bros. then entrusts Bruce Timm and producer Eric Radomski with the creation of Batman, the animated series.
For this series we find a nice variation of the famous musical theme created by Danny Elfman, and for each episode an orchestra records compositions. Paul Dini is writing the script for the series’ episodes and Bruce Timm is drawing and storyboarding. We owe it in particular to Paolo Dini the introduction of Harley Quinn in this series, and therefore in the DC universe. Directly inspired by Tim Burton’s universe, the aesthetic of Batman, the animated series mixes gothic and art deco, with the “square” design. typical of Bruce Timm’s creations.
