In celebration of the 75th anniversary of Batman, Warner Bros. recently released two short films. They brought back legendary creator of Batman: The Animated Series, Bruce Timm, to guide the short film Batman: Strange Days. It is a retro tale about an encounter between the Dark Knight and his long time nemesis, Hugo Strange.

Batman Beyond returns in this brief short which highlights the history of the character in a fun way. This futuristic tale follows an aged Bruce Wayne who is mentoring his protege. Along the way, they encounter past incarnations of Batman from all mediums, ranging from Michael Keaton’s costume to Adam West’s costume and more. Its short but a pretty fun teaser.

WB is doing a great job of keeping one of their flagship properties, Batman, in the public consciousness. There will be no shortage of opportunities to see the Dark Knight in action before his next big screen incarnation in 2016.
