With the Annecy International Animation Film Festival set to wrap up its run this weekend, we can safely say that this was a banner festival for fans of animation around the world. Between updates, announcements, previews, and behind-the-scenes looks, there's a whole lot for fans to be psyched about over the next few years. But if we had to pick a Top 5, the news that Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios are adapting writer Scott Snyder and artist Nick Dragotta's Absolute Batman as an animated series would be near the top of that list – with Snyder as showrunner, and both Snyder and Dragotta producing. Earlier today, in the middle of a family trip, Snyder took to social media to once again thank everyone for the support. "Just want to say thanks for all the kind words regarding the animated series announcement – I'm away with the family in England -Ireland tomorrow – but it was amazing to see," Snyder wrote. "Nick [Dragotta] and I were really moved. Best fans, always."
Absolute Batman boldly reinvents the Batman mythos for a new generation of fans, reimagining the Dark Knight as a working-class hero up against impossible odds (and the most terrifying foes ever), on a mission to prove that even in an era of wealth, power, and corruption, one good person can change the world. No manor, no money… all Batman. When you take away the manor, the money, the advantages, what you're left with is something absolute. Here's a look at Snyder thanking everyone for the love, support, and excitement over the news, followed by a look back at a nice exchange between the DC Comics and DC Studios sides of the DCU from late last year:
Back in December, DC Studios co-CEO and writer/director James Gunn gave Snyder and Dragotta a lot of love on social media for the success of Absolute Batman #1 and the overall "Absolute" universe, adding, "Comics are killing it lately." Well, the compliment wasn't lost on Snyder, who shared a screencap of Gunn's Threads post offering the praise, adding, "So are [DC Studios] movies and TV [James Gunn] – thanks for great leadership.
