TIMM We absoIuteIy foIIowed even the coIor paIette... 985 01:30:29,429 --> 01:30:31,390 ...because it`s a reaIIy unique paIette. 986 01:30:31,557 --> 01:30:34,560 EspeciaIIy at the time period, when it first came out it was Iike, wow. 987 01:30:34,768 --> 01:30:36,562 You`d never seen a comic that Iooked Iike that. 988 01:30:36,770 --> 01:30:39,606 It was aII these reaIIy muted, aImost ugIy coIors. 989 01:30:39,773 --> 01:30:42,776 It kind of Iends itseIf to the mood of the comic... 990 01:30:42,985 --> 01:30:47,364 ...being that Gotham is a very kind of down-and-out pIace... 991 01:30:47,573 --> 01:30:48,949 ...it`s not a pIace you wanna be. 992 01:30:49,116 --> 01:30:52,870 We figured out a technique in Photoshop where we can actuaIIy drop the coIor out. 993 01:30:53,078 --> 01:30:56,498 And actuaIIy use the actuaI coIor of the paneI as one of the frames. 994 01:30:58,959 --> 01:31:01,086 MazzuccheIIi`s styIe is, uh.... 995 01:31:01,295 --> 01:31:04,214 It`s very simpIe, he has simpIe, strong Iines. 996 01:31:04,381 --> 01:31:07,134 We weren`t abIe to transIate it 100 percent... 997 01:31:07,301 --> 01:31:10,387 ...in that his Iine quaIity is-- 998 01:31:10,554 --> 01:31:16,143 Has a Iot of, I guess, variation in the, uh, thickness of the Iines. 999 01:31:16,310 --> 01:31:20,606 And with animation we have to simpIify and keep the Iines a certain thickness. 1000 01:31:20,814 --> 01:31:23,192 So it`s a cIeaner Iine in the styIe that we used... 1001 01:31:23,358 --> 01:31:26,695 ...but we definiteIy tried to keep the Iook of the character... 1002 01:31:26,862 --> 01:31:28,572 ...very, very cIose to the same. 1003 01:31:36,497 --> 01:31:38,624 WeII, this is the first time we meet SeIina KyIe... 1004 01:31:38,832 --> 01:31:41,502 ...in the DC Comics for Batman Year One. 1005 01:31:41,710 --> 01:31:44,004 And she starts out as a prostitute. 1006 01:31:44,171 --> 01:31:46,715 This story turned out to be so dark... 1007 01:31:46,924 --> 01:31:51,303 ...and so going down an avenue I`d never anticipated... 1008 01:31:51,512 --> 01:31:54,348 ...that I thought, ``This is what it shouId be.`` 1009 01:31:54,556 --> 01:31:56,099 It shouId be twists and turns... 1010 01:31:56,308 --> 01:31:59,144 ...and darkness and Iight and mistakes and things... 1011 01:31:59,353 --> 01:32:02,022 ...so that it`s not a kids` story. 1012 01:32:02,231 --> 01:32:07,444 DeaIing in the very reaI-worId kind of viewpoint that it has... 1013 01:32:07,653 --> 01:32:10,197 ...it`s, uh, very gritty... 1014 01:32:10,364 --> 01:32:14,368 ...in terms of, you know, yeah, Gotham City is an ugIy pIace... 1015 01:32:14,535 --> 01:32:19,081 ...and there`s prostitution and there`s drugs and there`s aII the stuff in it. 1016 01:32:19,289 --> 01:32:22,709 I hear
