Product Description
Acclaimed screenwriters including David Goyer (Batman Begins) Josh Olson (A History of Violence) and Alan Burnett (Batman The Animated Series) join forces with revered animation filmmakers on six spellbinding chapters chronicling Batman?s transition from novice crimefighter to Dark Knight. These globe-spanning adventures pit Batman against the fearsome Scarecrow the freakish Killer Croc and the unerring marksman Deadshot. Using an arsenal of high-tech gadgetry from Wayne Industries Batman?s ethical boundaries exist only where he chooses to place them leaving some fearful of his power. The sharp storytelling complemented by stylish art from some of the world?s most visionary animators masterfully depicts the blurred lines of Batman as man myth and legend.Running Time: 75 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 883929011155 Manufacturer No: 1000037297

3 out of 5 stars Not bad.   August 24, 2008
Hyun Jun Choi (Seoul, Republic of Korea)
I like The Batman.
I watched "The dark knight" twice.
So I expected this title, but it was not pretty good.
But I wasn't regret buying this title, beacuse I'm a Batman fan. ^^



5 out of 5 stars The way animation SHOULD look   August 24, 2008
MR. KENT (SEATTLE, WA.)
Batman:Gothem Night is an admition that yes, we now know that there is an older crowd, a more grown-up market out there for this animation and maybe we can tap into that. It is also a declaration that this older crowd also expects more than the typical Saturday morning stuff they see when they walk by the kids in the living room after breakfast. This telling of Batman was split into 6 parts, telling in many way how The Batman came to gain som eof the discipline to be the Dark Night he is now and showed us a few villians that we dont usually see. This is NOT a movie for the kids, this is and may not be the Batman that everyone rememebrs but, for me, the important thing to rememeber is the look, the feel, the textures, the richness of the animation. It is such a welcome treat to see the Japanese Anime' twist all over this movie. It cleary stands alone as far as the Batman animated movies thus far.


2 out of 5 stars Gotham Knight-Bad night   August 24, 2008
Tom G. Walker Jr. (Middle East USAF)
This DVD was horrible.
it's story lines made it hard to follow and the animation was Aimee, which made it worst.
Not worth the purchase price or the time to watch it.



4 out of 5 stars Definitively Batman is for animation   August 21, 2008
lucio etchamendi (Montevideo, MVD Uruguay)
The last live-actor Batman is a demonstration of that. No matter the Oscar postmortem for Heath Ledger (who made a correct incarnation of the Joker, a character which is practically impossible to act, but not as much as the reviews says), this episodes demonstrate once again that, no matter the live actor movies lift up the bar, the animators can lift the bar a little bit more.
I do like the first chapter, which is innocent, and like alot the rest of the numbers, specially the last one. Hope for more of this kind and more extensive ones.



4 out of 5 stars Refreshing to see a professional Fan version of Batman   August 21, 2008
Homer's Wisdom (USA)
Batman: Gotham Knight is a neat collection of six short animated films. It is much like The Animatrix which was a series of short films done for the matrix. Each short has it's own artistic style and writing but the voice of batman is the same throughout and is voiced by Kevin Conroy. Overall I liked Batman Gotham Knight it is defiantly worth renting and watching.
