'Batman: Gotham Knight', an anthology film, has some attractive segments, but not all of them appeal. Some segments work, but some fall flat. 'Batman: Gotham Knight' Synopsis: A collection of key events mark Bruce Wayne's life, as he journeys from beginner to Dark Knight.'Batman: Gotham Knight' which unfolds in 6 segments, is a mix of entertainment & boredom, both. The only chapter which is excellent is called "In Darkness Dwells". The remaining of the chapters range from good to plain dull. I expected more from this animation flick, since the Batman movies have been pretty awesome, to date.A Special Mention for the superb graphics & the credible vocal-performances. Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne/Batman, especially, does a brilliant job.On the whole, 'Batman: Gotham Knight' is impressive in parts.

Batman the Gotham Knight is a collection of 6 animated Batman stories all intertwining to create a different creative look at the overall series; by the word "different," I really mean just that. From an aesthetic point of view I find the movie to be quite attractive; the colors, choice of art styles and overall animation is simply beautiful. Although not consistent with the former visuals of the batman series I find this newer adaptation to be obversely hip and seemingly refreshing. If forced to categorize, I would say that this movie feels more like a story from the Spawn series rather than the trusted intrinsics of the DC universe. In any case it brings home plenty of action, crime fighting and the familiar philosophical debate about the motives of our "trusted" super hero. The voice acting by Kevin Conroy is as always; impeccable, while the background music gives us an overall "larger than life feeling." The writing of the connecting stories seemed to be captivating: each different to the other while effortlessly fitting in the story line progression. The editing and execution of the scenes was fluent and generally a pleasure to follow; be it mildly annoying at first. I found myself initially disliking the direction of the movie, but as the scenes rolled on, I found it to be enjoyable in its entirety. This movie is not for everyone and fans of the series may find the new adaptation to be out of character and slightly slanted in comparison with previous titles. However in all fairness I found myself caring for the lead character more this time around as his human frailty and sadness really came to light. In a world of re-emerging creative adaptations we find the character of Bruce Wayne even more illusive and jaded this time around. Overall this is a great and creative new look at the Batman franchise. I wouldn't particularly be interested in seeing this style become mainstream, however for a once in a while "sort of thing," it stands to be a very unique experience.

This collection of short films is fascinating to watch for any batman fan, but I feel as a collection it is a little too different and there does not really seem to be any logical link between the story lines, which was irritating. The stories were also underdeveloped and I just wished we could have seen more of these stories and they could have had that room for development.What I did like is that none of the real generic batman villains were used instead the villains were more non common ones and it really helped to make each story unique so that it wasn't just the same kind of stories being generated over and over again. The stories were fairly unique as well although underdeveloped they did each have their own unique style.All in all I enjoyed the stories but they were too fragmented and I just wish they had more of a central them or something that made them fit together better or something, just to make them fit, which was the main problem with this film.

I don't really care for animated movies...I like superheroes even less, but Batman is the exception, and when I read that this film bridges the gap between Batman Begins and the Dark Knight, while being written and directed by some of the same people, I got excited. Gotham Knight is a collection of six stories that supposedly tell us what Batman was up too, prior to battling the Joker in the Dark Knight. What I really love about Nolan's Batman movies is how realistic they are, and while Gotham Knight uses the same names and story line, it is anything but realistic. These stories are downright childish and boring. It's like reading Batman's diary and seeing his conversations and what he did at work today, some stories were better than others, but I was pretty much reading Batman's Twitter and it was as dull and simplistic as could be.
