Dave Cox compares his and Igarashi's approaches to Castlevania

"It's a reboot of the franchise in a different universe than what you know. It's a different take on the mythology. It's a bit like the difference between Tim Burton's and Chris Nolan's batman. It's the same character, it's the same universe, it's a work of genius - but they're both very differnt takes on it." - Dave Cox

Both the Burton and Nolan Batman movies are well respected. I'm not quite sure Cox's take on Castlevania lines up with the reception that Nolan has gotten for his Batman films. I get the analogy though, even if it's not spot-on.
