Today at ComicsAlliance, I’m getting downright self-indulgent as I write a frame-by-frame breakdown of the Batman: TAS opening, studying it in-depth to figure out just what it tells you about Batman in less than one minute of screen time.

I’m not going to lie, guys: I’m proud(er than usual) of this one, and if you’ve never sat down and really thought about that sequence, it’s going to blow your mind how much is actually in it.
