Badass is how I would describe Gotham Knight. This anthology of six short animated superhero films is really well done thanks to intelligent writing, kickass animation, and overall good voice acting. These shorts show batman's war against crime, specifically the mob. Make no mistake, these shorts are DARK in both tone and style, this is definitely not campy like that Adam West TV show. If you call yourself a batman fan, you owe it to yourself to buy this.

Comment by Sanjuronord on January 20, 2013 at 1:06pm Yes, the first short was the only one I remember having problems with; the animation didn't lend itself to the world of Batman and the plot was similar to an episode from the animated series which I felt did it far better. As for the Scarecrow short, I felt it was a better user of the character than the way he was used in the last two Nolan movies.
Comment by Robert Wild on January 19, 2013 at 9:52pm A lot of good, but also a lot of bad (for me). The animation was GREAT in 5 of the shorts, but I thought it was pretty terrible in the first short.
As for writing, it was really good in most of them, but not the Scarecrow/Killer Croc short. I liked the dark gothic look to it, but the writing just seemed lazy to me in that one. I have a few other nitpicks, but overall, this is still a really fun Batman flick.
There have been some AMAZING animated Batman films, but this just isn't one I return to very much. Overall, I would (personally) give Batman: Gotham Knight a Matinee.
