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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Batman action, 14 Jul 2008
By T. R. Alexander (East Anglia, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
As a big fan of both Batman and Japanese animation I have been looking forward to this DVD for awhile now and thankfully it more than lived up to my expectations. The film consists of six interlocking stories that see Batman face off against both regular gangsters as well as villains from his rouges gallery such as Scarecrow, Killer Croc and Deadshot.

Each of the stories is directed and animated by different people and in slightly different styles which could be somewhat disconcerting to some but they all still fit within the overall Batman style. However, out of the six chapters I feel it is the first that leaves the most to be desired, animation wise, but other than that the animation is very good. The voice acting is also somewhat off in a couple of the chapters but is generally respectable.

This DVD has been compared to the Animatrix shorts that accompanied the Matrix trilogy in that it fits in between the Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and while I am not sure how much of the action here will make it into the Batman films, I do feel that any and all is good enough to be used. Any Batman fan should consider this a must watch and it would also be of interest to fans of anime as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dark...but not enough, 24 Jul 2008
By Mark Pearce "''Chinatown''" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 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.
