    Batman: Gotham Knight



    Just finished watching the movie. It was very interesting. For one, they went The Animatrix route and decided on doing several short stories instead of one feature length story.

    For one, each story contained a different style, it is very clear that the animation is Japanese, i'm used to watching anime so i didn't mind it at all. However the first 10 minutes of the movie screams out Jet Set Radio Future. Its cool because the first 10 mins is more about "the legend" of Batman then the Batman himself.

    Without a doubt though, the last Story Dead Shot was the best story out of the bunch, it was short, but to the point and very well animated. The 3rd to last story also did a great job of capturing the Batman feel. Its the only one to actually have Batman's known villains in it.

    Its definitely worth a watch for any Batman fan, especially in wait for The Dark Knight

      I found a perfect copy online...watched the first episode this morning. I'll watch the rest tomorrow. Like you said...the first one was interesting, definitely had a different and more Japanese anime kinda feel to it.

              I was thinking of renting this if Blockbuster has it.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                      I'll probably pick this up and the Blu Ray release for Batman Begins next week.

                          I watched this last night. I think the shorts getting better as they progress from one to another. The various styles of Batman was interesting and I thought they were all very believable as a representation of Batman.

                          Did anybody watch The Wonder Woman Sneak Peek? I might have to check that out - the cast looks pretty good for a direct-to-DVD animation movie.

                              Watched it a couple days ago and it was alright; not worth the price of admission IMO though but not bad.

                                  I watched this this morning and...Sorry but I couldn't get into it. I know it's supposed to be shorts with show different representations of Batman but the whole thing felt jarring to me.

                                  The animation style also put me off as well. At times it looked quite good but at other times it looked a bit too much on the gimmicky side.
