I doubt that this series will have any connection whatsoever with the previous series. The previous series begins with Batman first appearing in Gotham and completely contradicts this version.
This is good, I think. Every once in a while, you need to reboot. Not every other year, like they seem to do with the Legion of Superheroes, but every 15 to 20 years for a movie franchise seems a good rule of thumb for me, especially when the first run started out mediocre and went downhill from there. The animated Mask of the Phantasm remains the best Batman movie for my money.
