SNPD'S BATMAN SERIES is a 3D animation series which tells the story of Batman from the DC UNIVERSE. It is set during Bruce's first few months back in Gotham. This series aims to go in depth with Batman's rookie years.
This series takes inspiration from the comics such as 'Batman Year One.' Inspirations aside, it is a whole new experience and a refreshing experience for the general audience.
This series will be made through applications such as Blender, After Effects. Through this listing, I aim to find people who aspire in voice acting and filmmaking in general. As for the filmmaking side, I am looking for people who aspire in animation to give them a platform to hone their skills and help finish this series faster (although I am animating the entirety of this animated series, it would be nice to have somebody else having my back for the animating side of things as I am also editing the film extensively on after effects. Everybody plays a part in this series, if you take up a role as an animator, I am still going to contribute. Because, I am not finding people to take my job, I am finding people to assist in the production alongside me. So that we can see this series thrive.
So, what will it be? Will you join me in the production of this series? If you want to, do check out the video listed on here, it will show you that I'm not messing around and genuinely want to create a series of this scale. A legitimate 3D, voice acted series!
The goal is to see a younger, angrier Batman change into the Batman we all know. It's all about character development, hence why this series is set in his rookie years.

For a shoutout in the credits, just email me at [email protected] and show how you have promoted the campaign.
Every contribution counts, thank you!
Hi all, further updates regarding the series will be in this discord server.
We're planning to release the official trailer in June, so I suggest you join this server because there's so much exciting stuff going on!
Hi everyone, check out our new website for the series!
Assistant animators will be helping me animate scenes while I am busy, this is to ensure that the production of this series is effective. They may also not have to animate at all! Instead, they will provide me with motion capture data.
Requirements are simple. You must have basic understanding of how to use Blender. Most users of Blender are complete newbies when it comes to animation, so this is going to be a miss for most.
Do link me a sample of an animation you've made. And if you want an instant pass to the production crew, then your key will be...
An animation able to convey human emotions through simple movements, you may use any model for the animation. You will not need any voice acting or lip syncing, just simplistic movements capable of conveying emotions. Make them expressive.
Say something you think would fit
For the music side, I will be contributing quite a bit, but if anybody wants to offer their own touch to this series through music, then this the role for you.
Frankly, I don't really much care about the software you use to compose it. As long as there's expressive music capable of giving listeners a sense of immersion, then you've caught my attention.
Strictly no lyrics, I'm not looking for any singers. What I'm looking for in general, are composers capable of making a soundtrack to give this series personality and identity.

Looking for a more Roger Craig Smith styled voice for the main model of Batman is based on Roger Craig Smith's depiction of rookie Batman. Models aside, the story will be unique nonetheless.
``I was unable to do anything in Crime Alley as a child... Now, as a man... I have the assets, the brawn, the brain... Now, I can change Gotham... Now, I can ensure that a boy doesn't have to lose his parents in the middle of the night to a coward with a gun. Now, I will honor my father's legacy and bring justice to this city!``
``You think you know pain... No... You think you've been through it all... No... You think just because you need money, you have to take someone else's life? No... YOU DONT KNOW PAIN!!! But now... I will make sure you do...``
``Lieutenant, I'm on your side... You may think otherwise, but even your own men are against you... There is no justice in this city... The force is corrupt. You will hunt me, but as long as corruption still flourishes in Gotham, I will never rest.``
I will be in charge of creating most assets, but if you're an expert in modeling, character creation, architecture and you intend to see this series thrive, then this is the role for you.
Please do make sure to have experience in the area of modeling. As for software, Blender would be the best for this as to ensure convenience as it would be easier for me to import the models into scenes.
If you're looking for pay, please move on from here.
I'm fine on my own doing the models because I have experience, and passion.
This listing is solely for those who are passionate about seeing a fan made Batman Series, whilst leaving their mark on it.
Say something you think would fit
Jim Gordon who will transition from a lieutenant to the official commissioner of the GCPD.
One of Batman's closest allies.
``Gotham is hell... I dont know who to trust... Every shadow in Gotham is unsafe. Even the Police cannot be trusted... I dont know anymore... Though my faith in Gotham is fading, there are people giving me a reason to start believing again... People like Dent, or even the Batman...``
``My little James will always be under my protection. Even if it is a boy or a girl...``
``Who the hell are you? You've been terrorizing Gotham for 4 months! This is where the cycle ends...``
The corrupt Commissioner of the GCPD... He is politically untouchable, and it will take more than Batman to force him to resign.
``Relax Carmine... I got everything under control...``
``He's just a man in a suit! Since when did you ever struggle with shooting down people?!? Branden... you can't just expect me to believe that a human being was able to dodge bullets!``
``Gordon... He's so clean. Sometimes, I think he's trying to lord his integrity over the rest of us!``
This isn't Barbara Gordon JR if you didnt know. It's Jim Gordon's wife.
``Bruce Wayne... He's disgusting... Seriously, he's a sleazy womanising scumbag.``
``James, please stay safe... We don't know what the Batman is capable of... He's a vigilante, you know how dangerous Gotham is...``
``Dont hurt my husband!!! He's a good man... If you hurt him, what does that make you!?!``
Lucius Fox
Bruce's inside man and the one who will help him advance onto better tech.
``You saved me... Wait, Batman... Wait!!! Who... are you?``
``Mister Wayne... You've been back in Gotham for nearly 2 months... Since then, you've come to me with such peculiar requests... Yet, you expect me to believe that you're not the Batman? The Batman who appeared a month after you returned? Mister Wayne... I am not a fool.``
``Who are you? A singular eyed man... You must be an assassin... Hired by a rival company... Whomever hired you, I'll pay you more... But, you'll get out of Gotham... And don't come back!``
This depiction of Deathstroke will be more likely to be the victor against Batman in hand to hand combat.
``I have a new contract to finish... I'm killing everyone.``
``I was expecting a tougher fight... You may think you have the situation under control, but I assure you... The only reason why you're still fighting crime is because I allow you to.``
``Slow, weak! This is what the criminals are so afraid of?! You are nothing, Batman!``
Honestly... You could come up with something creative instead of reading directly from the lines I have given, just imagine you were a civilian, a police officer, bus driver, or even a random corrupt politician. It's your choice though.
Just a note, extras will be casted without any hassle, so don't be confused if you suddenly get cast because, frankly, everyone who auditioned for the extra role were cast
``There's no such thing as a Batman... Jim Gordon himself said it!``
``Oh god... He's real... The freakin' Batman's real!!!``
``The Batman Is a hero... Why the hell are the police after him?``
Howard Branden, the leader of the GCPD SWAT TEAM. He is a rival of the more noble and honest James Gordon and the two opposed every decision the other made.
``Enough! Whatever they put you on tonight I want you to blow it off... Finding and killing that damned vigilante is your number one priority!``
``I don't fear you! Not like all those cowards... You're just a man! And I have killed men before!``
``I can't just disobey a direct order... Something has to be done about him... He's getting on my nerves!``
The Butler whom everybody knows and loves.
Should be pretty basic.
He is British, so it should be obvious enough that you audit with said accent.
``Master Bruce... You have been back in Gotham for nearly 2 months and this is the first time I ever see you taking a nap...``
``You see Master Bruce... I made a promise once... To a great man who had loved his boy, very dearly... Ever since the incident in that accursed alley... I raised the boy, like my own... Until he became a man... Hoping that he would have moved on, but no... He is still consumed by vengeance!!! This mission of yours, it is absurd, Master Bruce! I will not let you go out there! No more of this nonsense!!! I just dont want your obsession to be the end of you...``
``Master Bruce, there is more than just one way to honor your father's legacy... You have all these riches... But then, you end up wasting it on worthless gear.``
Be ready to pronounce some Spanish words... Bane will absolutely say a few of them.
Don't forget about the Latino accent.
``You... You are not what I expected. You are just a man, with money... I know who you are. But, whoever you are doesn't matter... What does, is you meeting your demise... And me, finally finding peace!``
``I was born in prison... You? You are just a puto, born with a golden spoon in your mouth!``
``You will remember me... Not only as the man who broke your body... But also as the man who broke your spirit!!!``
Carmine Falcone.
The godfather of the Falcone crime family, Carmine Falcone is one of Gotham’s most infamous and feared mafiosi.
``Enjoy the rest of the party, Bruce... Try the Cannoli... I had them flown in from Italy, fresh...``
``Dont you find it interesting how honest men can be when they are about to meet their demise? That is how intelligent the vigilante is... He knows how to make you talk...``
``The war for the soul of this city is being waged from all sides... Seen, and unseen... But together, you and me, we are going to set this city right again.``
SIONIS, the Black Mask. A feared and sadistic crime lord...
He won't be playing a very significant role in this series..Yet.
``Listen... You know that I'm not smiling, don't you? Because I... am displeased... What about you??? You were smiling, but now... You look so frigid... Why?``
``Bruce Wayne... He has been a nuisance ever since he returned... Whatever you do, make sure... When you batter him, do it like you mean it...``
``Why are you so afraid of him? All you have to do... Is stare death in the face!!!``
Harvey Dent, one of Batman's closest allies.
``Indeed, the Batman does work outside of the law... Yet, crime rates have significantly gone down ever since he first appeared... This is the reality of Gotham... We have to rely on vigilantes to keep our streets safe... What does this say about our police force? Plenty... Corruption has taken over this once great city... Hence, this is why we have to take a stand, because those in charge wont. But, if there are any who wish to stand alongside me, then I call to you... To help redeem our city! To rid our city of corruption and return it back to the people!``
``Hold your fire! The Batman is with me... He won't cause any trouble...``
``If this is how I go... Then this is my fate... Nothing can change fate. Now, go! I'll make sure these inmates don't pass through...``
Cobblepot, The Penguin. He loves birds and has a weaponized umbrella. Not only that, he even owns the Iceberg Lounge. 👀👀
``The Batman? You expect me to believe that? Listen. I happen to know that the Batman's got way more important things to do tonight than mess with our shipment, and that's saving his own ass. So next time you wanna make up a story, you'd better hope the person you're telling it to ain't dumber than you are! Oh, wait. That's right. THERE AIN'T NO ONE DUMBER THAN YOU!``
``I don't care what you think you saw. If you're not back 'ere with my money in the next ten minutes, I'll cut your damn eyeballs out.!``
Harvey Bullock is one of Jim Gordon's trusted officers. And, he is foul-mouthed. Hence, expect some vulgarities.
``I've taken bribes before... Y'know? Not for money, but information... Though I know some greedy pricks who take bribes because of money... Yeah, being a cop in this city doesn't pay when you're honest... But that's not the point... The point is, there's a group of people like me who don't like the law, people who will break the law to get things done!``
``Before I pull the trigger, I need to know... Why the hell are you doing this? Every night, you come out here and you put your life on the line.. And for what?! You ain't getting nothing out of this...``
One of Batman's love interests. A trained hand to hand combatant and professional thief with a tragic backstory.
`Sorry, dear... I can't help you. Cats only come when they want to... Not when they're told.``
``After everything I've done, why do you still have faith in me? What's going on in that head? Why do you always have to put your life on the line for people who wouldn't do the same for you?!?``
Amanda Waller, the person to tie this series to the rest of the DC characters outside of Gotham.
``My men have you both in their line of fire... It would be wise to drop your weapons... Deathstroke. And you, vigilante, I don't like the face you're giving me... So, whatever you're planning, reconsider it.````
``This vigilante... The Batman... I underestimated him. He's always a few steps ahead of us... He's far more intelligent then I had initially thought. Not only that, he recently bested Deathstroke in combat... With a fancy, new suit. Whoever he is, he has training, a goal and most definitely money. To be able to beat one of Earth's greatest assassins, that is a feat...``
Vicki Vale is a prize-winning journalist who attempted to uncover the mystery of the Batman.
``Eyewitnesses said that the Batman was standing at approximately 6'4 tall. Some even said his eyes were that of a creature... While a key witness, Glenn Miller said that his eyes were glowing... Glowing so brightly that it was able to give Mister Miller a blinding headache!``
``Batman! Are you a human being? Can you really fly, do you even understand me right now?!?``
``He was so fast... I could barely catch a glimpse of his face... I have never seen anybody that big move as swiftly as he did.``
Joker won't be a significant part of this series yet... But I'll let anybody who's interested to audition early.
Laughing track.
``The people of this city are the ones who made me who I am! I thought you of all people would understand!!! But no, you had to play the hero! Well congrats... Now you get to be the hero!!! Because now, you're going to have to choose between Loeb, or these children! Now... Let us begin! Te hee!
