Never imagined Batman as a lighthearted person. Maybe even the most serious person can't stay serious during the festive season. Looks like a fun Christmas movie. Glad DC are still releasing unique stuff like this.
There are more instances in and out of comics of Batman being lighthearted than not. He's not supposed to be a brooding loner, that's something the movies popularized.
even in the 90s animated show, he had it's lighthearted moments. Theres a reason the one animated Adam West batman movie made fun of the modern "serious" batman XD
As a Batman fan of 20+ years, I approve. It homages the old Adam West wacky cartoon Batman with its cartoon antics. Let Batman have this. Nice seeing him be a happy dad with an adoring son for once.
This looks nothing like I expected and I'm all for it. The designs work ao well in the animation and seeing them in action is much better than some stills. Maybe with the exception of Alfred.
To be honest, the trailer is not that bad, the story is like a parody and tribute to Home Alone 1 (my favorite Christmas movie), apart from the fact that Damian Wayne in this universe is not a psychopath as he is, I think the idea and the animation are good. It's bizarre and strange but fun, it reminds me of the classic books I read. Anyway, it's cool, we'll see how it is 😮👌
@@Isaac-gh5ku Probably Talia still. Maybe Bruce just got Damian a lot earlier, like in the Harley Quinn show (tha iteration of Damian is 12-13, and mentions he's been with Bruce for 8 years). He appears to be younger then 10 here, which is when he is placed with Bruce in the comics, right?
I feel that the best interpretations of Damian are when he's very young and naive, and preferably isn't a homicidal lunatic. We all know what Batman has been through, my man is the Guts of the DC universe. He deserves a kid who's... Well a bit more on the positive side rather than destructive. Just my opinion.
@@The_Based_Batman The more killer based Damian works in the comics. But the issue is that you can't really bundle Damian's character development and how it affects them both in just one movie. The basics are that, in a way, they both humanize each other more by being around each other. It's kinda like the whole fatherly element of being a parent pushing someone to be a better person to set an example, while, with Damian, he has a break from his old lifestyle and is introduced to a new one. Damian being more "human" is why Bat-Cow is funnily important.
Really loving the character art design of that thing because it reminded me of every kids' storybook. The animation looks great and the comedic tone in this trailer really fits perfectly for a superhero Christmas special. I will give props to the animators who were involved with this, bravo to them.
He's a lovign father in the comics. He just isn't good at his own trauma but tries to keep others from experiencing trauma. (At least when not dealing with Zur An Ar.)
Honestly, this animation is really interesting and looks like something right out of a children's book. I also like how this Batman feels more in line with the Silver Age Era, with some of the modern stuff included. It looks really cute Though Alfred looks like an earthworm which I did not expect
Golden era he was still a costumed crime fighting detective with dark murder centered stories, I think the era you're thinking of is the Silver age when comics were heavily censored for kid readers and so they had to get creative, its basically the era the Adam West show was based on, the days when Joker was just a prankster and Robin and Bats were the dynamic duo.
@@kennethsatria6607 Yeah I meant to say Silver Age instead of Golden Age since this special does remind me of that era for Batman comics and the vibe of the 60's Batman show with Adam West
LOL! Amen to that! Well I guess it won't happen anyway because WBD sold and licensed this out to Amazon Prime Video instead of HBO Max. BTW: It's funny how WBD gives away some of their best comic book work to other streamers (first Sandman to Netflix and now Merry Little Batman to Amazon)
@@willdebeast21 Well, the plan ks for HBO Max's DC properties to mainly center on Gunn's new unkverse (not counting projects already sent there before he took over, like The Penguin or Harley Quinn or My Adventures with Superman)
I watched this and it was so much fun to watch. Great refernces top humor that works for all ages and the realtionship between bruce and damian was super endearing.
This is super cute, I'm actually excited to see more about this. Finally, something Batman related that isn't excessively dark and edgy, it comes across so juvenile in it's execution sometimes it's like they forget it's supposed to be fun. This movie will hopefully be the perfect remedy for that!
It's like Adam West's Batman animated with children's books artstyle and I love it 🤣🤣🤣 whoever chose the trailer song, DC... Give that man a raise...!!!
Yeah that deserves the old JK meme. You KNOW that would never happen outside of a cutesy spinoff, or really any spinoff. So the fact that he finally did it here is outstanding.
Proof that Batman can be both cool and hilarious! My brain has released much dopamine! Can't wait for the full thing! I especially appreciate that they didn't go for the low-hanging fruit. It would have been so easy to make a Halloween special, but they decided to shake it up and give us something fun. 👏👏👏
God this art style is taking me back to the good old days of DC Nation. Super glad to see that DC still has people willing to put out fun little projects like this, god knows we could use some light hearted fun
Definitely an... interesting take? I'll give it a shot, if only to see where they take this version of the Batfamily. Holding out hope for Nightwing, Red Hood, and Red Robin.
I love how expressive the animation is, and I love seeing a younger Damian with Bruce trying to be a good father. I’m not really hot on not seeing ANYTHING to show the other bat kids exist here tho. I know it’s a little early, and this is just a teaser, but there being a Batsuit for Damian instead of a Robin suit seems to imply the others just don’t exist. They couldn’t do a throwaway of them all being off doing their own thing? Too busy to come back and keep an eye on Damian?
I was hesitant at first, but the more I watch this trailer, the more it pulls me in. I like it. It's a reverse Garfield. The art reminds me of storybooks I'd read as a boy, and it's nice to get a wholesome Batman.
Honestly, I'm more surprised that Damian is chill than I am about Batman. I can imagine Batman chill, but usually not Damian. Side note: D'aww, Damian is so wittle!
Oh I would like to see it! I love shows where Batman is not serious and kind silly (in a good way of course). Sometimes we just need funny stuff like this. Merry Christmas everyone :)
1:45 - Joker: "Alright, which one of you gave a little kid explosives?" *Bane raises hand* That so cracked me up. 🤣 The art style is not so much my thing, but the humor makes up for it. Definitely gonna watch this. 😁
This reminds me of the Silver Age Batman comics, and I'm all here for it. Batman hasn't really embraced it's sillier side in any recent interpretations, except the Lego Batman Movie, so this is really refreshing.
It's totally a unannounced unexpected movie and I am so excited for this, I mean no one really knew this movie was coming. I hope they just surprise us with other unannounced movies, except I want some serious action.
I like this animation style a lot. Great throwback that reminds me of Les Triplettes de Belleville. As a lifelong Batman/DC fan, Batman is the one IP that seldom disappoints (*cough*BatmanAndRobin*cough*) and can be done in a myriad of styles and inventive ways to keep it fresh (Nolan' vs Reeves vs Burton vs Kevin Conroy vs. this one here)
I swear to God the world doesn't see how DC universe have been caring for us I can't believe ive been watching the trailer 5x just becuz of Batman beard 😂what a wonderful December 🙏😭😭❤ DC FOREVER 😊
For the heck of it, I decided to celebrate Christmas in July by watching this film today, and...I liked it a heck of a lot more than I thought I would! I already loved the art style when this was first announced, but the story is actually really dang good. 👍🏼
Ugh- I watched this and it is absolutely wonderful. A new Christmas classic for me, for sure. The entire feel of it has that 2010s Cartoon Network vibe like Adventure time or Regular Show. And then it has a dash of Chowder vibes. SPOILERS ALERT!!!!!!!!! Its overall very funny, and it tugs at those specific heartstrings of when kids are still young enough when theyre cute, but theyre kinda getting into that phase where they know too much, and they say really funny things. Obviously it's a comically animated movie, so you won't find too much dark humor in it, but there ARE really touching little concepts. For example: Damien is only 8, and he found this suit that Batman secretly made for him. Upon putting it on, he discovers that his dad has implanted an internal AI called Bat Dad into the suit- and it's bruce, helping Damian, like Jarvis helps Iron Man. Somewhere in the movie, he loses Bat Dad. So it does turn into this, albeit cutely animated, "Damian has to learn that the suit doesn't make him a hero" kind of struggle. And then the whole time, Damian gets to learn about all the dirty things that his dad has to get into while being Batman, and that it's not all sunshine and rainbows. I thought that was a funny little kid friendly way to write that weird little dynamic all little boys have with their fathers. When youre a kid, youre just constantly at ends with your father, then one day you start to age and see things the way he could see them.
A world where Batman actually completes his mission: a crime-free Gotham. He's actually happy. That's good stuff. I'm in.
Ye
Plus he has become Gotham's kang fu panda

It's a reference, the original is in the "Batman The Animated Series", there is an episode in which the story is actually so similar to this movie.
Isn’t this a simpsons joke ?
