The tried-and-true pitch of "Bruce Wayne pilots a giant punching robot" is still as effective as ever. And you really can't talk The Big O without mentioning Batman: The Animated Series in the same breath.
While not the global sensation its creators hoped the series would be, The Big O nonetheless remains a showcase in what make animation such a creative and compelling medium.
