I never read the comic, but like the two or three episodes I saw of the live action show on TNT or was it TNN. Either way I am looking forward to it.
Hahaha if Gonzo's doing it, it'll be awful I'm sure (although the first episode might be ok).

The comic book was the usual retarded Image comics fanservice book. It spawned some good things anyway, like the first saga of The Darkness, or Medieval Spawn / Witchblade that showed what a cool bearer of the glove can do.

Why bother when they'll both have the same bra size?

He probably changed the main character to a japanese police woman just so they would make it :X

Witchblade < Green Lantern
Everything < Green Lantern
But seriously... I guess it's ok. But then again, we might see a lot of fanservice/nakedness in the anime just like those comic covers.

fanservice/nakedness will depend on what network airs it... Gonzo had to butcher Gantz because of the timeslot and network it was on...

WOW! Witchblade and possibly Hellboy! (or did that deal fall through already?)
Gonzo is making a name for themselves doing two things: making animes based on dark american comics AND sucking ass.
I'd like to see a company that doesn't suck do an Elseworld Batman series set in the future (involving a Bruce Wayne Batman, not a new guy) that would be fun, why hasn't anyone done that yet!!! Anime loves giant robots, future Batman HAS giant robots, it's a match made in heaven!!!
I wonder people will bitch and moan Witchblade is going to be Japanese and not American forgetting anyone can wear it.
yeah it's not funny

Japan is getting revenge because we cast whitey for all the characters in the Live Action Eva movie while still keeping their Japanese names.

But we gave them Ra's Al Ghul! Doesn't getting one of them to be the 3rd greatest Batman villian ever make up for the EVA movie?

Joker AND Mr.Freeze, sucka! (note: Mr.Freeze is only counted assuming we're referring to his Animated series reinvention... the generic happy/cold pun version of old AND the Arnold version, who falls more into that catagory despite having the new origin story suck)

My answer would be Joker + Harley Quinn.

I don't consider Harley to be one of the greatest Batman villains, I think she's more like an extension of the Joker. I'm not expert on DC comics though, so I might be wrong

Yeah she's a made for TV character so I'm not sure if she really counts and I agree that she is really is part of the Joker's character in the animated series. However the best episodes of Batman though where the ones when she goes straight or teams up with Poison Ivy and makes Bruce Wayne buy them stuff which don't involve Joker.

Harley is a great character, a great sidekick/girlfriend/lesbian lover to villians, and has been in some of the greatest stories told in the cartoon.
But she's not a great villian since she's never done any villianing all by herself without it being part of someone else's plan/to get revenge on Joker
