 DVDtoons! Reviews - Tintin Set 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Tintin comes from the tradition of boy adventurers, being a young reporter who somehow becomes involved in a variety of mysteries, dangerous missions, and international intrigues.
During the course of the stories, Tintin acquired a supporting cast that included his dog Snowy, a blustery sea captain by the name of Haddock, two bumbling police detectives named Thomson and Thompson, and a near-deaf absent-minded professor with the name of Cuthbert Calculus (the original French names were somewhat different).
A Tintin expert was hired on as a consultant, and most of the stories (all but three) were given two episodes in order to present as much of the books’ material as feasible.

 Fanzing 33 - April 2001 - Tintin and Batman in "The Clown Prince" reviewed
Steven Spielberg owns the rights to Tintin and several adaptations were made for Canadian TV, with the characters speaking in horrible North American accents instead of Belgian ones; Spielberg's Dreamworks Studio also allowed a crossover to be made for Canadian TV - a crossover where Tintin and Warner Bros' Batman teamed up for an adventure.
Tintin is a reporter, not a detective, but he does specialise in solving mysteries and embarking on adventures - he appears in stories which have plots, unlike most of today's comics.
Tintin is not a super-ninja, in the way Batman is meant to be now; he's a sleuth, like the old Batman, who can fight and shoot a little.

Tintin is sent by his Brussels newspaper to expose the true conditions of life in Bolshevik Russia, and counter the propaganda spread by Soviets and their Western fellow-travellers.
Tintin himself is a different beast - beefier, more aggressive, even high-handed with a splendidly cynical Snowy - he roughs up a Cheka agent, easily dispatches a vodka-guzzling bear, and trips up passers-by whenever the need arises.
One of the reasons "Tintin in the Land of the Soviets" is not part of the official canon is because the story is told in fl and white.

The first Tintin stories were almost cinema on paper, borrowing many gags from the films of Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Harry Langdon or Buster Keaton as well as cutting and framing techniques from the ‘Seventh Art”.
