Buy Batman Gotham Knight (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

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.

I thought it would be better... November 26, 2008
When I read in one of my magazines that they were making Batman Gotham Knight, I was really excited about it. I thought it would be this dark adult animated movie that I would find really gripping and entertaining. I saw it in blockbuster one day when I was with one of my friends so I decided to buy it. Maybe my expectations were too high but I was slightly disappointed.
It isn't one long movie. It's a movie in six sections and it is done by different anime artists. Some of the styles I liked, some disliked. I guess that is just a preference of opinion. But some of the separate stories I found a little bit predictable. The first one is okay. It didn't really do anything for me and I didn't particularly love the style. In some of the other stories, certain aspects seemed somewhat awkward and batman just suddenly appears in a very odd places. I don't want to give too much away but there was one side story that was a bit interesting. It went back into his past when he was still training to become batman. I really loved the style of the last section of the story but I thought there would be more to the bad guy.
I'm not saying it's bad but some of it wasn't outstanding. There is some great directing and animation in it, don't get me wrong but perhaps my expectations were too high. I would rent it first before you buy it to see it is something you really want.

The animation is great and looks awesome on blu-ray. Much better than the TV cartoon batman.

There is not enough Batman... November 24, 2008
I must say that the animation work is great and you going to see a Batman like you see him in Comics, with great detail and excellent development, however the price to pay is that you don't get enough of this version of Batman. With the exception of the first episode, which is, also the most "diferent" of the conceptions of Batman, the all others are great job... so great that at the end of each chapter, they keep you waiting for more... which is a little frustrating, because there is no more.

However, if you are a true fan of Batman, you should get this one, it's a great job.

Very interesting how this movie is directed and animated. It pulls you in for the entire show. If you like Batman you will love this.

I ordered this for my husband who loves the super hero genre. I was disappointed to see it was animated, but he loved it.
