You may well enjoy a favourite anime series of mine, named Big O. You can access information on it here.

The series follows a similar route, and is surprisngly steeped in philosophy and the ideas of humans and machines sharing emotions. Very similar to the principles of the Matrix Trilogy, actually. Be sure to take a look if you're interested. Though it's worth noting that the colour scheme is far more vibrant in Big O, and the series focusses around giant robots, which may put a few people off.

Big O is underrated

Agreed, Big O is extremly underrated. It's so different then mainstream animé. I loved the desolate feel and colour scheme of this show. Oh, and I loved Trinities design in this short.

I'll be on the lookout for it.
A connection to the 90s batman series is big points.
I don't know how anything so.. film-noir managed to make it to saturday morning fox.

Sure, but even more, you might like "Weird Science"! At least that's what IMDB claims at the bottom of the page.

That show sounds really interesting though, I'm definitely going to have to check it out. I loved the old Batman. I also liked the Spider-man cartoon of the ninties, but it was strange how Batman could be so dark, and Spider-man wasn't even allowed to hit anybody with his fist (plus, the pistol looking weapons fired laser blasts).

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as the fly by.
