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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Hit and MissThis DVD was very hit and miss for me. Some sections were done in a style that did not hold my attention, while others were stunningly beautiful. All in all, the story is fairly good (if a bit disjointed). Not my favorite Batman DVD, but worth seeing. Rating: - "Gotham Knight" - Prequel to "The Dark Knight"Not a bad look at the Batman franchise, but the animation style may not be for everyone. The six stories included on the blu-ray are somewhat interesting. The picture quality of the blu-ray was ok, but looking at the animation sytle it couldn't of been much better. Also, there is no lossless sound included on the blu-ray. Buy for Batman fans, worth a rent otherwise. Rating:  - Waist of timeThe animation on this is something a four year old would have drawn. The first story is a bunch of made up bat man stories from kids. This is just a cash grab off the popularity of the movies with no real effort put into it at all. The fact they bill it as linked to the two recent movies is just ridiculous. The writers and animators should be ashamed of this work. I would not have my name on it. Rating: - Only worth it for the last 3 short storiesI saw this feature on Cartoon Network and while I felt it had potential, it didn't live up to it. It didn't totally suck but definitely not as good as it could've been. I didn't mind that it was in anime as I am a fan of that style of animation but the first story definitely sucked! The stories progressively got better as the feature went on with the final story called "Deadshot" being the best of the bunch! I also liked the one with the Scarecrow and I did like how they tied the features ...

Similar to the Animatrix in format, it gives a sample of some of today's top animators' vision of the Dark Knight. More importantly, it echoes the sincerity, psychology and grit of the Nolan films, and that's where the character really shines. Made for promotion of last summer's The Dark Knight, Batman Gotham Knight follows the continuity of Batman Begins, including characters Scarecrow and Jim Gordon (plus a really cool, though ...
