Motion Comic Sickness
Alright, I did my homework. Warner Bros. offers a series of motion comics based on the Batman: Black and White comic books. They seem to be very similar to the Astonishing X-Men motion comic I mentioned the other day, but I’ll never really know since they’re only available on iTunes for 99 cents each (insert Depression-era emoticon). Nevertheless, there is a free trailer for the series.
But wait! There’s more!
Warner Brothers also released four motion comics for Nokia a while ago to hype up The Dark Knight (as if it needed it). The story, called “The Shadow of Ra’s Al Ghul,” revolves around the All Powerful One’s quest to ensure that Ra’s Al Ghul is not really immortal (I guess He’s never read the comic books).
The writing is meh, the animation is on par with a Indian teenager using Flash, and there’s no voices. But it’s free!
You can watch the next three episodes by going to this Nokia Singapore (double-yoo tee eff?) site and clicking on either Batman or the Joker. Instead of playing the cell phone games that come up, you can just hit the “Motion Comic” link at the bottom. Call WWBDIT Support if you have any problems.
