DVD Reviews of Batman Gotham Knight (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
What else can I say but awesome. If you like Batman at his best, this is it. Also, if you want more insight about events in this movie, read the book as well. Both are awesome. DVD Review: i didn't get it.
Summary: 1 Stars
Ok, i've already seen the ANIMATRIX.... and other than the Killer Crock episode, i just didn't get it...
the segments were not long enough for me to get into, and dark in a way that batman isn't usually dark- it was empty.
i got really sad while watching this...
i just didn't get it.
DVD Review: It Was Alright
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought that this would have been a lot better than it actually was. The extras were much better than the feature. I loved the old episodes of the Batman cartoons that were on it a lot better.DVD Review: Pretty Good DVD to add to the collection
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been a HUGE Batman since I can remember. I own most of the DVDs, watched the movies countless times. I think that this is a better than most of the campy 90s movies. While some of the animations are as good as good as most of the "episodes" on this DVD the stories are quite good. I have watched this thing from beginning to end twice. I would recommend this to any batman fan. DVD Review: Dreadful Animation, Dreadful Story

*Spoilers*
I'm a big fan of Batman and anime, but this was truly awful. This is not a movie, as such, but rather a collection of vignettes and tales. The tales are loosely related around the character of Batman, and I do mean loosely. Each vignette is wildly different from the other, in terms of animation style, voice acting, dramatic tone, and so on. I think the producers intended something similar to The Animatrix, but unfortunately they failed horribly.
For instance, the first story - the starter story! - is horribly drawn, with all the characters looking akin to Gumby-Human hybrids, equipped with impossibly long arms and legs. The dialogue is stilted and almost racist in its insistence that all African-Americans start every sentence with "Yo, dawg!" or something similar. The idea here was a good one: to show Batman from the eyes of confused and frightened bystanders, but the implementation is awful, with Batman being a ghost, a flying bat, a gremlin, and so on. You never get a clear picture of the citizen's attitudes towards Batman (fear? gratitude? wary optimism?) which is, supposedly, the whole point of providing this "man on the street" viewpoint.
The second story - the "dramatic" one - contains such gripping dialogue as this:
"He's a vigilant, Anna."
"He's not!"
"He's a vigilant!"
"He's NOT!!"
I guess when you have moody anime, good dialogue is optional? The second story is probably the most attractively animated one (although still very poor compared to The Animatrix and Final Fantasy Spirits Within), and the potential plot is quite clever, but the plot never actually takes off, choosing instead to just belabor painful dialogue and exposition that never goes anywhere. Given an isolated island of madmen and criminals, and a trip to sequester a new prisoner there, I would expect and hope for something more interesting than a run-of-the-mill ambush to happen, but that's all we get.
The third story was so boring and dull that I was forced to turn it off half-way through. This one was the one that most closely tried to recreate the recent successes of Christian Bale and Morgan Freemon, but the half-baked story made zero sense and the attempts at witty and meaningful banter were stale and forgettable. When the hero and villain engage in Bond-esque tete-a-tete dialogue, it really is necessary for the tense dialogue to make sense and (at a minimum) contain some kind of implied danger which is unfortunately missing here.
Maybe the last three stories were better, but I was so bored at that point that I couldn't muster enough patience to continue viewing.
This version provides a closed caption option for the hard of hearing. I do not own this movie and I do not want to own this movie - I rented this through my Blockbuster Online account.
Description of Batman Gotham Knight (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
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.General DVDs
