  Batman Gotham Knight

  by Dave

  Okay, so i just watched, and re-watched the new Gotham Knight animated
  movie / collection and here are my thoughts on the shorts.
  
  1.Have I got a story for you So the premise of this short is a group of
  kids get together and tell stories of what they think "the Batman" is.
  Does this plot sound familiar? It should, it was the very same plot
  from an episode of the animated series, except without the frank miller
  shout out. Because of this, I already felt like I've seen it, which made
  it kinda boring. The animation in this short is a little oddball. The
  backgrounds are amazing and realistic while the characters themselves
  look cartoon-y and sometimes unfinished. That's a style they where going
  for I'm sure, but it just felt odd to me. Overall, this definitely was
  not one of the best shorts, but also not the worse.
  
  2. crossfire The story on this short focuses on two of Gorden's
  detectives, one of them very unhappy with a vigilante doing crime
  fighting in Gotham (batman). There really isn't much to the plot except
  for detective Alan complaining about batman pretty much the entire
  time. At the end of the short, Alan and his partner get in between a
  crime war and batman comes and saves their lives. That's it. It wasn't
  anything special, but worth watching for the animation. So, the
  animation in this short is pretty good, and the best part is the last
  minute when batman shows up. This is the very best animation of batman
  in the entire collection, sadly, hes only around for over a minute.
  such a waste, awesome while it lasts though. Because of the end, I felt
  this was one of the better shorts.
  
  3. Field test Wow, This was probably one of the worst representations
  of batman since the campy old TV show. Congratulations to the animators
  on this one, I've never wanted to gouge my eyes out so badly before in
  my life. The story revolves around a new gadget luscious fox invents to
  repel bullets away from batman. Batman tries it out, bullets repel, and
  some guy almost dies from one of the repelled bullets. The story isn't
  that bad, nothing major, but its there. Its the animation that makes
  this short so god damn terrible. You wont know that you're looking at
  bruce wayne until he speaks. Why? because Bruce Wayne looks like a
  skinny, shaggy haired, Japanese teenager I kid you not. Watching this
  generic anime character that anyone at a local high school could draw
  use bruce waynes voice disgusted me. I constantly begged for him to
  dress up as batman so I could stop watching the monstrosity.
  Unfortunately, the animation of batman was even worse. Pretty much
  envision Femto from Berserk with pointy ears and you have this shorts
  batman. Disgusting. This was easily the worst in all of the shorts and
  I wish it never made it past a storyboard.
  
  4. In darkness dwells This short was about batman hunting down a new
  urban myth cannibal. The cannibals nickname is "Killer Kroc". Yeah, any
  batman fan knows this guy. The story doesn't get too involved in this
  one, but I did enjoy it. The animation had great realistic backgrounds,
  but the character animation was a little inconsistent at times.
  Sometimes the characters look really good and grity, other shots show
  them at really awkward angles and they just come of as deformed. It
  definitely doesn't ruin this short, but it does catch your attention
  more than it should. Overall, i liked this one though.
  
  5. Working through pain This short arguably might have the best story
  of the bunch, mostly because its the only one that really shows some
  character development in Bruce Wayne. The story focuses on how Bruce
  Wayne was trained to ignore physical pain. I really like the story of
  this one, and the ending is actually kind of sad. The animation, not as
  good. As batman, he looks pretty decent. You definitely know its
  batman, unlike in "Field Test". Its the Bruce Wayne animation that's the
  weak point of this short. While not half as bad as "Field Test", his
  character is breaching on generic anime guy. He doesn't look like Bruce
  Wayne, but he doesn't look like a skinny Asian kid either. The story is
  what really sells this one, and its definitely worth watching.
  
  6. Deadshot If only one short makes you buy this collection, this will
  be it. This was by far the best short of them all. The story is pretty
  simple. A very talented sniper is contracted to take out Gotham s
  finest, and eventually batman himself. Its all about villain vs batman
  here, and its really good. Out of all the shorts, this was the only one
  that actually felt like it could be a storyline in the animated series
  (besides "Have I got a story for you" which WAS an actual storyline in
  TaS). This was the only short in both story and animation that really
  made me feel i was watching a batman episode. I loved this, and watched
  it several times over. This is not one to skip batfolks, this is
  batman.
  
  So overall, Id say there was two good ones ( Working through pain and
  Deadshot), two okay ones (Crossfire and In darkness dwells), one dud
  (have i got a story for you), and one abomination (Field test).
