Then you're probably familiar with the style of Bruce Timm, the father of the DC animated universe -- a specific era (and style) of DC Comics animation projects that started with the 1992 Batman: The Animated Series. If you missed it, it was a fantastic series: Batman (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Batman/) had an incredible voice, Robin didn't deal in cheesy catch phrases (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_exclamations_by_Robin) and Mark Hamill was the Joker (http://batman.wikia.com/wiki/Mark_Hamill). Seriously. Now, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment is bringing Timm's vision of Batman back as an interactive holographic video designed for virtual reality displays: they're building an animated Batcave (http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/08/the-batcave-home-theater-room/) for the Oculus Rift.
