The Skinny: Gotham Knight takes a cue from The Animatrix, presenting a series of animated shorts linking Batman Begins with The Dark Knight.
Reminded Us Of The Animatrix, Batman: The Animated Series, Japan, and, for some reason, Jet Grind Radio.
The Good: The animation styles vary throughout; and they're all cool, unique takes on the Caped Crusader. Plus, the shorts recruit the likes of Batman Begins writer David Goyer, as well as highly regarded comic book scribes like Greg Rucka and Brian Azzarello to make sure the Knight's adventures are properly represented.
The Bad: While undeniably cool, this one is aimed pretty much at the loyal fan base, and will be unsatisfying to people dying to just see The Dark Knight already.
Best Extra: The documentary on Batman creator Bob Kane is a great additionwho else can command praise from the likes of both Spider-Man creator Stan Lee and Luke Skywalker portrayer Mark Hamill?
