Batman and animation

Like most superheroes, Batman has spent a lot of time in animation. We particularly remember the excellent series Batman: The Animated Series what shaped an entire generation. But that’s not all ! There were also films from this series, but also from the following ones, viz Batman, the next generation, The New Adventures of Batman or Batman/The Batman. Rocksteady’s Batman games also had the right to feature their small animated film Batman: Assault on Arkham

just like Nolan’s films, which were clearly differentiated by a series of six short films from Japanese studios.

You will have understood, for many years it catered to animation and Batman fans. But DC has been putting animation aside for a while now, focusing primarily on live-action films. The last animated production with Batman is slowly getting going. But if you dream of discovering the bat hero in a new way, This fan-made project should live up to your wildest expectations.

Batman: Gotham Renegade on Unreal Engine 5

Do you know Alireza Fattahi? Let’s put it this way: That’s definitely not the case! And yet he is an accomplished Iranian artist who risks making a name for himself in the coming months. Not thanks to his jobs as a film director at Mana Animation Studio or TATO, but thanks to a personal project that is great. He is currently working on a Batman fan film created in CGI animation using Unreal Engine 5. We’ve already seen many amazing game prototypes running on the new generation engine, and this film promises that at least that will be the case. This is suggested by the short teaser that has already been released (can be found above), which shows a larger-than-life and wilder Batman than ever before. It promises! Especially because its creator knows the game engine well, having used it in particular when working on the remake of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.

But we forgot to tell you the most important thing: the name of this project. The animated short film by Alireza Fattahi will be called Batman: Gotham Renegade. Its creator does not have an exact schedule, especially when it comes to the release window. But if you feel like it, you can follow the progress of the project by logging in Alireza Fattahi’s YouTube channel but above all by pursuing it LinkedIn

. On the social networks of the working world he shares the most information about the development of the project, such as with this recent news that gave him his name: “A little reminder to let you know that I’m still working on my Batman animated short. I’ve completed a new, very short scene and this time added a few fun little extras, particularly a cape and facial animations, to suit your needs. And now I have an official title! I present to you Batman: Gotham Renegade. And also big praise to my co-animator colleague Navid Tanzifian. He is brilliant and always manages to accommodate my requests and constant changes.” We also learned on LinkedIn that it only took the guy a day or two to bring his own version of the Batcave to life. Suffice it to say, it really shows promise for the future and we can’t wait to see the end result.
