A Knight Emerges From The Shadows January 4, 2009
What an ambitious project; six interlocking short films from six directors with the outstanding animation based on Japanese Anime art.

The stories - Have I Got a Story For You, Crossfire, Field Test, In Darkness Dwells, Working Through Pain, Deadshot - capture a variety of angles in the life of Bruce Wayne and the conflicting elements in keeping the peace in Gotham City as Batman. There are a variety of bonus features, depending on the DVD set that is purchased, including the documentary, Batman and Me: The Bob Kane Story, and four episodes of Batman: The Animated Series.

This is a fantastic work of art that is solidly placed in the small front pack of classic material that explains and celebrates the life and times of the iconic crime fighter.

What Happened To Batman? December 28, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful

----- I am forced to borrow a made-up word to describe this animated movie... travasham-mockery. It is a travesty that DC allowed Batman to be depicted this way. It's a sham because you buy it to watch something on Batman but you're fooled into watching six over-stylized Japamation versions of an American icon, AND that being said, this DVD makes a mockery of the Dark Knight.
- Since when and in who's mind is Batman a neutured metrosexual, a monster, or a referee between mobsters. This dvd is all that is wrong with the animee style of animation. Feminine men who even look like women, unbelievable over-exaggerated action scenes, and annoying dialog. Dont get me wrong... I do like some animee (Akira, Ghost in a Shell, Appleseed, Princess Monokee) but not this type ala television animee.
- Unless you think that Batman Beyond is the best version of Batman out there this DVD is not for you. Speaking of Batman beyond, that sucks too! What ever happened to Batman: the animated series... I miss that.

I thought it would be better... November 26, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

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
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.
