Truly Dreadful Film
Brendon Jones
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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

I had grown up watching the batman TV shows as a kid, to later watching all of the live action batman films. About a year and a half ago i delved into reading almost all of the famous batman comics. I'd been working my way through watching all of the DC Animated Universe films when i came across this one. What a catastrophe this is.The idea to make an animated film that would show Batman's life in between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight was a good idea. This movie had so much potential. Then for some reason they decided to split the film into shorts, all done by different animation companies. All of these companies are awful. Trying to sit through the first short in which there is poor animation, and a story about skating kids dreaming about batman encounters for twenty minutes is torture. However you hope in your heart that it will get better... it does not.This film does not deserve to have 'Batman' in the title. A dull and boring movie with horrible animation makes for a major disappointment for a huge fan of Batman.

"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.

This collection of short films is fascinating to watch for any batman fan, but I feel as a collection it is a little too different and there does not really seem to be any logical link between the story lines, which was irritating. The stories were also underdeveloped and I just wished we could have seen more of these stories and they could have had that room for development.What I did like is that none of the real generic batman villains were used instead the villains were more non common ones and it really helped to make each story unique so that it wasn't just the same kind of stories being generated over and over again. The stories were fairly unique as well although underdeveloped they did each have their own unique style.All in all I enjoyed the stories but they were too fragmented and I just wish they had more of a central them or something that made them fit together better or something, just to make them fit, which was the main problem with this film.
