DVD Description

From producers of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, Batman - Gotham Knight is a groundbreaking interpretation of Batman's transition from beginner to Dark Knight. Six interlocking chapters weave together into a mesmerizing saga as he faces the fearsome Scarecrow, the freakish Killer Croc and the unerring marksman Deadshot. Sharp storytelling complimented by stylish art from some of the world’s most visionary animators masterfully depict blurred lines of Batman as man, myth and legend.

Synopsis

Some of Hollywood's hottest writers lend their talents to this richly animated Batman anthology, featuring entries by David Goyer (BATMAN BEGINS), Josh Olson (A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE), and Alan Burnett (BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES). With six stories in all, GOTHAM KNIGHT offers thrilling interpretations of the Caped Crusader, rendered in a style that recalls the dark and lurid lines of Japanese anime. Together, these interconnecting tales trace Batman from his early days battling evildoers in crime-plagued Gotham, to his later years as the metropolis's trusted defender. Along the way, the Dark Knight has shadowy showdowns with some of his most fearsome enemies, including Scarecrow, Killer Croc, and Dead Shot. Chock-full of explosive action sequences and bat gadgets, this continuation of the Batman saga is sure to bowl over both comic book nerds and fans of the feature films.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bloody fantastic!, 29 Jun 2008
By Mr. G. S. Rathaur (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was an absolutely brilliant experience. I'm not a big fan of japanese animation, but I must say, it was a good addition to setting the mood for the atmosphere set by the writers.

After some of the poor attempts such as "the batman" series, this DVD brought Batman animation back to high standards. I would rate this as being as good as the Batman TAS. Watching this made me proud of being a big fan of the dark knight and gives me hope that "The Dark Knight" movie will be nothing short of spectacular.

Keep up the good work DC, this is the way Batman is meant to be!

3.0 out of 5 stars Dark...but not enough, 24 July 2008
By Mark Pearce "''Chinatown''" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Mildly effective styling of Batman works only sporadically because although the six stories are "interlocking"(a stretch in my eyes),the animation style is different in each segment and the lack of continuity is more self indulgent and gimmicky than it needs to be.
Segments themselves are variable in substance with "In Darkness Dwells" and "Deadshot" both head and shoulders above the rest.Darkness is simply brilliant.
A series of vignettes more than a "film" and as such does not bare comparison to the almost dated but superior "Mask Of The Phantasm".
Sophisticated in style but patchy in content.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly Done, 8 Aug 2008
By Steven Stewart "Critic Extraordinaire" (steveo.stewart@hotmail.co.uk) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Batman - Gotham Knight [Blu-ray] [2008] (Blu-ray)
Combining some of the greatest writers in the business, Gotham Knight is a 6 story movie that focuses on how Bruce Wayne went from The Batman to The Dark Knight.

Have I Got A Story For You: Starts off the movie with a group of kids telling stories of their encounters of the Batman. They are ranging from him being a shadow creature that can disappear and re-appear at will, to simply a giant bat. This isn't the best start to the movie but it gives us an idea of how Batman is perceived by those in the Gotham world.

Crossfire: Is a story based around two cops, Detectives Ramirez & Allen. Allen & Ramirez are dropping a criminal off at an insane asylum and on the journey we're subjected to the hatred that the man has for the Dark Knight. He doesn't like vigilantes but after being caught in a crossfire between the Russians & the Italians, Allen's mind is changed when the Batman shows up.

Field Test: Is a vision of a young Batman trying out the new gadgets created by Lucius Fox, but after an accident caused as a result of one of the gadgets, Wayne decides towards other means of protection.

In Darkness Dwells: Written by David Goyer, writer of Blade and co-writer of Batman Begins. The Dark Knight finds himself in the sewers of Gotham City where he's forced to take on Killer Croc and once again fight the Scarecrow.

Working Through Pain: This shows us the interesting past of Bruce and how he was taught the skill of handling pain.

Deadshot: The title speaks for itself as in this finale we're shown the real reason why Batman hates guns as he's forced to take on the might of the man that never misses.

I went into this film with a bit of skepticism as I'm not usually a fan of the anime style of animation. However, the short stories featured in this feature length animation are astounding and shed some light on the Batman character. The whole anime style is not for everyone, and I must say before I saw this I hated the style myself. After seeing this I come to realise that this style of animation has a way of showing real emotion through clever imagery. Be warned though, to those parents of children who are fans of the Batman series and are thinking of buying this for their kids, it has its moments of graphic violence and colourful use of language.

Overall this is a great little time waster and something that you can watch and be pleasantly entertained by
