Product Description
Warner Brothers Batman: Gotham Knight (Blu-ray) 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 unerringmarksman 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.

 Disappointed September 5, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Being a pretty big batman fan is what led me to purchase this DVD. A few of the shorts showed promise, but were ultimately doomed to extinction. The different renderings of batman showed talent, but I like the main character to look the same at least for some duration. The same goes for the plots. Although they were loosely tied together (very loosely), the continuity was lost throughout the shorts. I think they should have picked one of these six designs and developed a substantial plot that batman fans could enjoy. Completely absent was the detective-like appeal that batmans fans have come to expect.
So, if you're a hardcore batman fan, you may want to pick this up but don't expect much except a sketchbook rendition of a hero who deserves much more. Otherwise, don't bother - it's just not worth the utter disappointment.
-disappointed and feeling a little ripped-off
 Style over substance - over abundance of gore not necessary September 2, 2008
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
The stories in this DVD are very weak. It seems like the producers etc. concentrated their creativity on style rather than actually storyline, plot etc.
The animation is kind of cool and interesting (although I liked the MTV Spiderman a little bit better) but the stories were short and lacked any substance. Also, with each episode only being 12 minutes there wasn't a lot of time to develop a story. Yes, each episode kind of builds on each other. However, overall I think this DVD was rushed a little bit to come out at the same time as the movie.
Speaking of the Dark Night.... I've read tons of stuff on how that movie probably should have been rated R if that's the case then this DVD should be rated NC-17. I think the PG13 rating was way too kind. With the gory showing of decapitations, people being blown away and blood being splattered all over the place it was just sickening. The producers of this DVD would have been better spent concentrating on their story and plot development instead of of worrying how can I annimate this guy getting his head blown off. Totally a discusting amount of gore!
Overall, if you'r curious about this DVD get it from the library. Don't pay for it. It's not that good unless you're into watching creapy and bloody animation with little story and sub par plots.
Very disapointing... September 1, 2008

This is a horrible DVD. We are huge Batman fans and that is why we ignored the reviews.. Bad idea.. It's not worth the money.. Save it and go see a movie..
 Almost Perfect August 31, 2008
I was eagerly waiting for this dvd movie By DC Comics,the wait was worth it. The stories are great with the exception of the Deadshot onewhich was really hyped up before the dvd came out (see the special Features on the "New Frontier" dvd). This story was too short and felt very rushed.
The Bonus disc has some great extras on it A Doc about Bob Kane and a Doc
about all the batman villians.
All in all Dc did a great job with this!!!
 Gotham Knight is Amazing August 31, 2008
Batman: Gotham Knight is great; these six short movies show great creativity in the directors' imaginations and they really show different aspects of Batman to the audience.
