I got to work with Emmy, Annie, Harvey & Eisner Award Winner Paul Dini, the geek god who created Harley Quinn for the Batman Universe, spearheaded ‘The Batman Animated Series,’ and wrote for ‘Lost,’ ‘Freakazoid,’ ‘Animaniacs,’ and countless comic books for DC. The guy gets around. Here he is playing action figures with Kevin Smith (interestingly enough, this spot was Production Designed by my Maze man John Sumner):
He and Alex Ross–yes, this Alex Ross:
…have a brilliant TV show. What’s it about? Can’t tell you. Who’s in it? Can’t tell you. What’s it called? Can’t tell you. I can’t show you Alex’s stunning designs, or my behind-the-scenes shots from set, or any stills from our final product…but I CAN say I re-teamed with some of my Maze creatives to shoot a teaser, and it turned out GREAT! But I can’t show it to you.
However, here are some vague images that should give you a sense of the kind of creativity at play:

A creepy castle!
A creepy forrest!
A terrible storyboard drawn by the director!

Are you excited to see it?!? Tough nuts, I still can’t show it to you.
Well…maybe if you contact me directly and ask nicely…but probably not.
