I'd like to see new character designers get a shot.
You mean like this?I would love a Neal Adams/Irv Novick/Jim Aparo tinged look to the designs. Give it a real 70's vibe... with Conroy voicing Batman (as his voice wonderfully suits that era/art style).

If only the could get more money.That would be neat, but I think emulating Adams would still be too much for the budget of one of these films.
The film is an original tale, rather than based on a specific comic book storyline. It sees Bruce Wayne face a deadly menace from his past, with the help of three former classmates: world-renowned martial artists Richard Dragon, Ben Turner and Lady Shiva.
Soul of the Dragon stars David Giuntoli as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Mark Dacascos as Richard Dragon, Kelly Hu as Lady Shiva, Michael Jai White as Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger, James Hong as O-Sensei and Josh Keaton as Jeffrey Burr. Batman: The Animated Series' Bruce Timm is executive producing, with Sam Liu, known for Reign of the Supermen and Batman: The Killing Joke, directing and producing. Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge writer Jeremy Adams penned the script.
I might've agreed if Conroy was voicing Batman as well, but that doesn't seem to be the case .If it all works, I may count this in my head-canon as DCAU. That design is just too similar.
Man, it's good to see the yellow oval in animation again .
If the 1970s setting is fact, that pretty much sets it apart from the DCAU.If it all works, I may count this in my head-canon as DCAU. That design is just too similar.
Well, the high concept seems to be Enter the Dragon, but with Batman. So, yeah, this could be gloriously cheesy.I'm not gonna lie, based on that picture, this looks a bit cheesy, but of course it's just a picture, I'm imagining the rest. Hopefully it will be a solid movie. I like Batman's design!
