I must say I LOVE the idea of bringing heralded international animators to each bring their own design and feel to the world of Gotham and the titular BATMAN! Animators from such other great films as PAPRIKA, TEKKONKINKREET, THE ANIMATRIX etc. each with their very own unique take on the Dark Knight. Split up into six segments BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHT bridges the gap between BATMAN BEGINS and THE DARK KNIGHT, though my one complaint if any is that it is a little short (I re-watched it like an hour after I had just watched it because I was left wanting MORE.)
As well a nice continuity on this release is the voice of Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne/Batman the same who voiced the character on the critically acclaimed BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES of the 90's |
