Batman: Gotham Knight is short stories centered to cover the gap between Batman Begins and Dark Knight and how he became a staple it Gothams life. It is a nice idea and the stories are quite interesting, but I didn't really like it for I found it kind a broken feature and I didn't get interested to what was happening.My main problem was the animation ,it was too like anime and at times it was very ugly and I was thinking "This film was made in a harry and they didn't had the change to make it better". Now, to be honest the animation isn't all bad in every story, in two or three of them it is actually very nicely made. Especially in the story with featuring Deathshoot is it spot on and that put though in to my brain like "Why didn't they made that part longer?".My main concern in the end was that this flick was more just filler time between the feature films and not a creative attempt to add more mythology in to the newly formed Dark Knight series!In conclusion if you liked ,good for you. I personally was unable to get to the premise.

This animated Batman movie is supposed to be linked with the events of Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008). In this 6-story anthology collection, Batman faces new villains and old ones in a time-line after Batman Begins. In "Have I Got A Story For You", 3 kids tell wildly different stories about Batman during a fight through Gotham. "Crossfire" focuses on two policemen who end up getting in the middle of a crime battle. "Field Test" has Lucius Fox creating a new technology for Batman, but is it too powerful? "In Darkness Dwells" features Killer Croc and Scarecrow, who have kidnapped a priest. "Working Through Pain" goes through flashbacks of Bruce Wayne's training while Batman finds his way through the sewers. Finally, "Deadshot" focuses on the titular sniper, who has a new target in Gotham. I liked all the stories but i think the most weird one was the first one with the kid cause it looked weird Batman looked weird but the final one with Deadshot having their big fight on the train that was amazing especially the stop motion and the fight scenes that look from something that would work for something else more darker but it works here pretty nice

Batman: Gotham Knight is an animated film containing half a dozen vignettes, each helmed by a different Japanese director, and intended to fit between the first two films in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.The stories each have worthwhile elements to them. The voice talent does well, and it is good to have Kevin Conroy as Batman. The animation style is very Japanese - don't expect Disney, but do expect Studio Ghibli or animated TV series from the last 30 years.On the slightly negative side, the fact that these are individual vignettes means that the film doesn't hold together as a whole very well. And, on the more negative side, the character design, particularly in the first segment, tends to be somewhat alienating.

When Christopher Nolan's, "The Dark Knight", was being released, Warner Bros. Animation and some Anime studios (Including Madhouse and Production I.G.) worked on an anime anthology film similar to other anime anthology films like, "The Animatrix" and "Halo: Legends".Pro's: The film has some great animation and the voice acting was great especially having Kevin Conroy returning as Batman/Bruce Wayne. Also, some of the segments were interesting including the segment, "Walking through the Pain". It follow's Bruce Wayne traveling to India to learn how to control pain from a girl.Con's: The segment's, "Have I got a Story for you" and "Field Test", were boring.Overall, "Batman: Gotham Knight", is a great Anime flick and worth watching if you're into Anime or a fan of Batman.
