HOW I DRAW AND ANIMATE: Batman: Caped Crusader S01 E05 original opening sequence

SESSION 39- From the beginning, I knew the scripted action for Episode 5 of Batman: Caped Crusader had structural problems, and I offered to refine it further. However, we decided to stick with the script’s original beats for the first ruff pitch. While my version aimed to smooth out some of the implausibilities, the decision was to keep the action as written. The version I presented maintained the script’s opening core structure, with two crucial changes that helped ground the action and enhance readability. 1. King Tut’s Positioning – In the original script, King Tut was placed on the rooftop of a high-rise building. However, this raised two significant issues: • The extreme height made it implausible for Batman to physically manage the situation. • Lighting the character at that altitude would be challenging, making it harder to create contrast and direct the viewer’s eye. As a solution, I repositioned King Tut at a ledge a few stories down, against the building wall. My last-minute solution allowed me to introduce a strong light source, casting dramatic shadows and creating a visually striking contrast that emphasized the tension in the scene. 2. Train Tracks Adjustment – The script had the train tracks at street level, meaning Batman would have to hold onto a falling King Tut from an impossible height. I revised this by designing the tracks a few stories above street level. This change served two purposes: • To tentatively make Batman’s maneuver more believable. Instead of struggling to hold the full weight of a falling heavy man, he could use the momentum of the jump to push King Tut toward a nearby emergency ladder. • It kept the action dynamic without making it physically unmanageable for Batman. Despite these refinements, the sequence still faced distractions—one of the main ones being Batman needing to decide what to do with the thug he had just arrested. This moment interrupted the flow of the action, adding an unnecessary beat that made the sequence feel cluttered. What’s presented here is the very first rough version of Episode 5 opening sequence—my initial attempt to balance the script’s intent with practical storytelling adjustments. For this video, I added matte colors and shading to ensure clarity. Stay tuned for next week when I'll show how I fixed this sequence!
