BATMAN - GOTHAM KNIGHT
This has several short "episodes" which are all tied together
by showing how Batman became the Dark Knight! Time
wise, this is after Batman Begins! As can be expected
from the title, these are pretty dark! As an aside here,
Bruce is presented here waaayyyyy too young!!
CROSSFIRE:
Batman is needed at an asylum to help a couple
of officers who have gotten in too deep! B
FIELD TEST:
Bruce pays a visit to Lucius Fox who shows him some
of his new toys, including a projectile deflector,
which he promptly puts to the test getting between
two unsavory factions of Gotham City!! B
IN DARKNESS DWELLS:
The Scarecrow is the focal point here, along with
a killer croc!! B
WORKING THROUGH PAIN:
Batman gets shot, but it doesn't stop him from
doing his job! In his delirium, he has flashbacks
to his past! This is actually quite good! B+
DEADSHOT:
Starting out this shows the killing of Bruce's
parents, then it ties together a couple of
the episodes together! Deadshot is hired
to off someone in Gotham. The assumption
is that it's Commissioner Gordon, but of
course if you know anything about Batman
comics, you know who the real target is! B+
From an IMDb.com customer
This video proves to be almost an equal to
Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1994)
With the voice of batman being the same,
which was a huge plus for me, this new
animatrix like video really brings a spark
to a very dreary area of batman at the
moment (animation) I think this would
suffice as a new animated series on a
television channel such as spike or a
late night TV program like adult swim.
With the violence being better than the
animated series these are the only places
I could see this show fitting in. Definitely
worth buying if you like batman. Worth
seeing if you have any interest in anime,
comics, or batman. Each short story
put together make an epic single story
that is mesmerizing in all its entirety.
After watching it once I watched it for
a second time in the same week. My
favorite episode would have to be the
final 6th episode about deadshot. I
really hope they make another one of
these DVDs or consider a TV series. - blaine-fuller
