Editorial Review:

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

1.
it's still pre-ordered on my cart right now,
i'm now bit skeptical about actually purchasing it.

i might get it in the future
because of making film parts and interviews,

i don't think i will be ever want to buy this one
purely based upon those episodes on this dvd.

Rating: - Very Good
To be frank I only liked the second half of the film. The first half constists of nothing but the view of Batman through the eyes of various civilians, and Batman beating up goons.

The second half or the last two stories are far more enjoyable. Working Through Pain was written by one of my favourite comic book writers Brian Azarello (100 Bullets), and he did a good job in annunciating that Bruce really doesn't want to work through the pain of his parents death. He wants to hold on to that ... Read More

I had pre-ordered this DVD Saturday, July 28th and that night I went to a free screening for Batman: Gotham Knight in Wizard World Chicago.

Tonight I removed it from my Amazon orders. Batman: Gotham Knight does not live up to the hype. Producer Bruce Timm and company have delivered a 6-part turkey.

As each of the 6 stories in this animated movie played out I expected the stories to get better and better. Sadly, instead they got less and less terrible. Believe me, there is a ... Read More

Rating: - Incredible and Worth Every Penny
*This does contain some minor spoilers. I tried not to spoil too much.*

Batman: Gotham Knight is advertised as the missing link between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. There are six stories in total. Each story is by different artists, but they all link together and flow together nicely.

The first story is untitled(that I know of) and envolves a boy waiting for his friends to arrive. Once they do, each one of them tells a story about what they saw today and they all saw Batman. ... Read More

Rating: - Glad I saw this before I laid down 20 bucks!
What boring garbage.
Lets get the questions out of the way for whomever cares.
No joker.
No Mark Hamill.
Alfred is in it but only in the last two stories.

This movie was rather slow and boring. Not much action. The last story called "Dead Shot" was great and the reason I gave it two stars. Its what the whole gawd damn movie should have been.
But alas it wasnt. Save your money unless you're some jerk off who needs to watch every flick in magna style anime. I cant imagine ... Read More
