hyped garbage

Best movie ever!

The first must-see film of the year.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie was very great it has everything you need to know before the Dark Knight came out.I liked the fact that this movie had 6 segments and was based on one movie I am going to review each of them individually:Have I got a story for you: This segment is about four kids making up stories on how they met Batman. But when the man in black attacks them one of them gets the credit. Overall a good segment. 7/10Crossfire: This segment is about Jim Gordon assigning two of his cops to transport Jacob Fleey to jail. Which ends up in a crossfire with them and a gang which Batman defeats. Overall a great segment. 8/10Field Test: I don't remember much of this segment apart from them playing golf. Worst segment. 3/10In Darkness Dwells: This segment is about Batman rescuing a holy man from scarecrow with the help of the police. The voice of the Scarecrow was a miscast but a great segment. 7/10Working Through Pain: This segment starts off at a gruesome point where Bruce is in India and he is patching up a wounded man. But later on, he gets help from a woman called Casandra to help him through his pain. Overall great segment. 7/10Deadshot: Finally this is the best segment in the film. This one is about Batman stopping Deadshot from a crime. The best scene was when he and Batman were fighting on a train. 10/10Overall this was a great film with a great cast of voice actors and good anime/animation style. It looked like if the anime style for Death Note and the animation from Batman the animated series got mixed into a paint mixture and made the animation for this film. I would say watch this instead of the current DC animated films we have got. (New 52 movies)My overall score on this film 7/10

'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: Gotham Knight" is an anthology of six shorts that is loosely set in Christopher's Nolan Batman universe. It works as a tie in between "Batman begins" and "The Dark knight", but you could also watch it separately , without seeing the other movies. All six short movies are done in Anime style and each is written and drawn differently. It reminds obviously "Animatrix" which also was made in Anime style and explored the Matrix universe.The six stories here are : "Have I got a story for you" , "Crossfire" , "Field test" , "In darkness dwells" , "Working through pain" and "Deadshot". Each of the stories looks at Batman from different angle. First talks about the power of symbol using a "Rashomon" storytelling . Second about Gotham cops point of view . Third about Batman's moral code. Forth is a simple action story. Fifth talks about Batman's physical and emotional pain . The final story is about Batman's negative attitude toward guns.The stories are animated , but it doesn't mean that were dealing with kid stories here . There is quite a lot of violence here , so keep that in mind. There isn't unfortunately too much substance ere. Only 2 stories : "Have I got story for you" and "Working through pain" are really thought provoking . The rest have often thin story lines covered by great animation and some action. The result is that "Gotham knight" leaves you wanting more. The movie could use 4 more stories with some substance. It ends too quickly and doesn't necessary have too much to offer on repeated viewings.My favourite stories are "Have I got story for you" , "Working through pain" (both for depth) and "In darkness dwells" (for mood and action). It's interesting that the first one was written by Josh Olson (nominated for Oscar for "History of violence") and the third one by David Goyer (co-writer on the whole "The Dark knight trilogy").The animation is great , the voice acting is good (It was fun to hear Kevin Conroy once again) and the overall quality of "GK" is solid. It doesn't come close to the quality of "Batman : The animated series" . It kinda makes me wonder wouldn't it be better to make a full length story of Batman in anime style or maybe a TV series ? I think it could work just fine."Batman: Gotham Knight" is a nice animated movie . Not as good as "Mask of phantasm" , but definitely better than "Batman versus Dracula". I give it solid 6/10.

I was pleasantly surprised by this little collection. Usually these kinds of films feel like their sole reason for existence is to earn the studio some money. Usually there's about one good short film in the bunch while the rest are thoughtless and not worth your time. Not so much in this case. This film has six short stories, all loosely tied together by the overall plot and the passage of time between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. None of these stories feel alike, though of course they vary in quality, both in terms of how they're put together and their story-telling merits. Thing is, none of them are bad. Sure some of them, like the first one, Have I Got a Story for You, are only average, but all of them are at least visually pleasing to look at and give their own takes on the character of Batman.And while some the stories are only average, a few of them are actually really good. Some for reasons of visual eye candy, like Crossfire and Deadshot, and some for reasons of good story, like Working Through Pain. Of course all of them are relatively short, so the stories are all pretty simple, which is why the visually great stories ended up being my favourites. Sometimes it's just nice to sit back and watch excellent action scenes take place. Deadshot especially excelled in this regard.And that's pretty much this movie. A certain fondness for Batman is absolutely required because, as I stated, plot-wise this movie doesn't really stand up to the likes of Nolan's Batman films. But if you're a fan of the character this movie is a fun hour and fifteen minutes to be had. It's creative, loves what it's doing and delivers you exactly what it promised.
