Watch Bruce Timm's Batman 75th Anniversary Short--"Strange Days" Now!

Check out the new Batman short.

Last week it was announced that a new Batman short, by Bruce Timm, would be debuting to celebrate Batman's 75th Anniversary. The time for waiting is over. You can now check it out below!

How cool was that? What did you think? Hopefully we'll see more of these soon.

Thanks to Scanner51 for the tip.

Timm's style has aged surprisingly well. Looking forward to more.

Love it!! It's plot is sort of similar to Matt Wagner's Batman and the Monster Men (which is a refreshing take on an old Golden Age Batman story). I highly recommend it and its sequel, Batman and the Mad Monk!

Bruce Timm's 3 min short was superior to anything we seen in "Beware the Batman" or "Teen Titans Go".

Why use one of 120 martial arts when you can hit the bad guy with a stick then smash his face on a rock?

Superman's anniversary was FAR better.

Most of the people commenting are missing the point:

Timm obviously made this to contrast it with the modern Batman by showing how far the character has come. In all likelihood, he has several more shorts planned to show the progression of the character over 75 years of existence.

He wasn't trying for a deep, B:TAS plot here. He was capturing the original feel of the character and setting.

That's why the crude tear gas gun, stick fighting and letting Strange fall, along with the one-liner.

Pretty good short from Timm which is to be expected from the man. And I KNEW they'd get Conroy back for that one liner. Even with two words, he can still be epic as Batman.

I like it. But I was hoping for something more like the Superman short. You know, show Batman throughout the years.

Ah man now why can't we have a tv series like this. Awesome throwback to the 40's Batman. However the superman short was superior. Not that this wasn't good it was very good. It's just that the superman one was a bit more more awesome.

Bruce Timm does it again. He's tops.

This really makes me miss JLU, partially because the Batman design is so similar.

I enjoyed this short. It shows me just how far Cartoon Network has fallen. In almost 3 minutes it showed what a good cartoon looks like. A rare thing on Cartoon Network.

Didn't anyone else notice that he shot TEARGAS at them? How is it that no one but the giant chap reacted to it? He didn't even wear a gas mask. Anyway, great short nonetheless. Yayy Batsy!

I definitely agree. Besides, I doubt he had one of those ropes for Strange in the belt of his. It's Strange's fault for standing on a crappy cliff in the first place.

"I won't kill you but I don't have to save you" doesn't apply when you sabotage the train knowing it will result in certain death when it crashes.
