Timm Style is a style of animation that has recently been gaining popularity. Characters are drawn with fairly realistic, though somewhat exaggerated, proportions and small eyes all round (though villains' eyes may still be [[GoodEyesEvilEyes slightly narrower]] than those of the heroes). People are drawn with lots of straight lines rather than curves, which makes them look rather angular.

** And related, being they shared a character designer, ''WesternAnimation/{{X-Men Evolution}}'' features a ''similar'' style, though notably rounder and slightly more detailed then usual.

Among the artistic influences Timm has cited for this style are Chester Gould's ''DickTracy'' (look at Batman's jaw!), and Dan [=DeCarlo's=] style of drawing pretty girls in ArchieComics.

* Internet artist Romil Ilagan applies this style (with Timm's work on ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' cited as a specific influence) to ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' at his website, [[phantoonsoftheopera.com Phantoons of the Opera]].
