Hey is The Batman based on Batman Begins?...

Somebody on Youtube said that The Batman is based on Batman Begins because in the cartoon Gotham City looks like modern day Chicago.

Hrrm. If I watched the show, I would probably conjecture that a lot of cartoon cities look the same, but maybe it doesn't. Also, wasn't the cartoon on TV before that film (yes, I know the difference between The Batman and Batman: TAS)

I'm not sure.

Since 'Batman' is actually aka 'The Batman' you have to be waaaay more specific.

There's a running cartoon called 'Teh Batmansz' (The Batman (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Batman_%28TV_series%29)) that existed before the Chris Nolan Batman Begins movie. If that's what you're referring to, I suppose the answer is 'no'.
