Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2019)

Looks pretty good, thankfully more "mature" than I expected. Still not feeling the animation style, and the look of the turtles specifically, but I'm more interested now.

As much as I don't care for Raph's underbite jaw design, the rest of the turtles are fine. I find it so funny that they feel the need to adjust head proportions to differentiate when that's the whole point of the bandannas. Honestly my biggest issue with the trailer is the stiff animation, like a lot of WB stuff it looks like they are cutting out frames to save on animating. And then the voice cast just isn't up to snuff. It has some good people attached but none of the turtle voices are working for me, didn't like the little clip we got of Shredder either. I'll still buy it as I'm a turtle nut but my expectations are very low. I don't know if this is actually based on the comic series they did but I really enjoyed the first Batman Vs TMNT crossover they did a few years ago.

Here's the youtube version of the trailer. All I can say is "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!"

This looks so awesome. I think the only thing that could have made me even more hyped is if Krang was in it too lol. Is there a release date yet?

Krang is the villain in the upcoming Vol 3 comic. If they keep animating, you may get your wish

I like how they didn't show off the mutant Arkham inmates, leaving what they all look like as a surprise for the viewers. Plus, I like that they all went for their classic costumes, and I do like some of the new additions, like Scarecrow's mask and Mr. Freeze's goatee.

That trailer looked far better than I ever expected. I don’t know why, but that trailer worked for me. So it has my money when it comes out

[RalphoR]

Looks good. Plus there's going to be 4k uhd version. With those colors that should look awesome. Now as someone mentioned...let's cap it off with a Target steelbook.

Ohhh snap.

[mysticwaterfall]

This looks insane in a good way. I'll definitely get the 4K, but unless theres a cool looking steelbook I'll just wait, I've had good luck getting the 4Ks cheap on ebay.

The biggest issue for me is that Cas Anvar is no David Warner, and that's a big mistake, especially as Ra’s al Ghul looks more or less the same as he does in Batman: The Animated Series.

Still, if there really is going to be a UHD Blu-ray, I'll pick it up.

I just wish this movie would get a proper page here on the site and a release date for purchase already.

That's not really the whole point of the bandanas, as the bandanas were initially always presented either in black and white or all the same color (red).

Remember, 99% of people who grew up with the live-action movies and the horrible cartoon and Archie comics never saw the original Mirage comics and don’t know that. They’ve only ever seen the colour-coded bandanas.

[thatguamguy]

That's true, but what I gather was the actual original point of the bandanas (that is, the idea that they were giant mutant turtles wearing tiny masks that in no way disguised their faces, which also didn't need disguising anyway because they had no secret identity) is a good joke and worth remembering.
