May 5, 2009Looking excellent and with top notch animation these Batman shorts are good. The first couple are abit odd and kinda surreal, I didnt enjoy them that much, but as the stories continue they get better and more like the Batman we know.
The stories envolving Killer Croc and Dead Sh...( read more) -

December 15, 2008Batman Gotham Knight is an anthology of six short cartoons with each one being very different from one another. Some are way too anime like and some look like an animated comic book. The stories are hit and miss, but most of the hits are very good and most of the misses are...

November 19, 2009A great anthology of Batman stories, set in the tone of Christopher Nolan's universe. While some of the animation was not my taste at all, it was not horrible. There were a lot of great segments and Kevin Conroy still plays an amazing Batman.

November 15, 2009Nice noir feeling about all these short stories. All the writers give theire unique view on gotham ciry and what Batman is all about. A bit uneven but thats what you get with a bunch of diffrent directors.

October 19, 2009Egh. Not bad. Very reminiscent of The Animatrix, but that's a good thing. A phenominal voice cast and a veritable who's who of directors and animation studios bring unique perspectives into Batmans early days. But, that's where the problem lies, this early in Batmans career, the ...( read more)

July 10, 2008I really really really really really really wish there had been more scarecrow. I love that character. He is just so interesting. Something I do have to say is that it is worth it to get the 2 disc version. It has four episodes from the animated series, including Over The Edge which is an amazing episode. Not only that but there is a thing about the villains that shows how each villain was created to help bring out different aspects of the batman. I love it.Now we have proof that the scarecrow is really very close to batman. They both use fear as a weapon and I love it. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
